It kind of sucks for ROH, but they have really now captured much of the imagination recently, have they? Kevin Steen is usually awesome -- his stuff with El Generico and his recent run coming to mind -- but beyond that who else is there? There are no real personalities in ROH since Austin Aries left. Back in the day, you had Bryan Danielson, CM Punk and Samoa Joe go through ROH, and they each had their own vibe and something unique they brought to the promotion. Now everybody seems the same.

Charlie Haas tries his damn hardest to have a personality, and he is a really good heel. I think he and Shelton Benjamin will probably be fought over by the WWE and TNA to help rebuild either promotion's tag division. Most of the talent will probably find work in either the WWE or TNA, to be honest -- and it would suck if ROH closed their doors, since they have been a pretty decent alternative over the past few years, and their DVD library would be worth something to the WWE -- but the company has been so bland lately.

ROH should be trying to go after amazing ring talents with personality. Low Ki would be a great choice, although I'm not sure what his relationship with ROH is at the moment. Beyond that, I'm finding it hard to really think of anybody. Colt Cabana, maybe? What are Paul London and Brian Kendrick up to these days? Jimmy Yang is a great worker that knows how to talk when he needs to. Carlito could come in if he were willing, but I'm sure he enjoys working for his dad.

Signing Chris Masters would be a good move. The dude looks like a Superstar and can work -- he'd be great as Jim Cornette's choice for a new future of the company -- and something Steen can fight against. In fact, that is probably the best story ROH can go forward with -- Jim Cornette trying to turn ROH into a "sports entertainment" product, going for guys with "the look" instead of guys who can get things done. If Matt Morgan does leave TNA, he would be an obvious signing for this storyline, too.
