Has Tony Khan Killed RoH?

I just saw the latest RoH and it was not good.

The AEW youtube shows were better. I can't see it getting a tv deal in this state, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it fold.

Most of the champions pop up on AEW shows and generally lose.

The crowds are really poor ( not many people and quiet ) and the venue they're filming in feels really small.

It just seems like a holding cell for wrestlers to see out their contracts.

Is this TK's fault, someone else' or was RoH always headed in this direction?

What happened to Einar?

I just recently hear "Heaven is a Wednesday Night in the Key Demo" and find it very hilarious which is why they chose it as the closing song for Jim's podcast. Is there any updates about Einar on what he's doing? I miss his songs very much and his parody song is so creative and hilarious?

Thanks for response and I'm not Einar btw. 🤣

Uncle Dave Says while he does not currently have an estimate for pay-per-view buys, the numbers he has seen says that Forbidden Door is Unfortunately trending to be AEW’s lowest-performing pay-per-view of 2026 so far.

> “I don’t have a PPV estimate past some numbers that we have indicate the lowest of 2026, but this has also been a great year. The key distributor these days is HBO Max and we were told the numbers were comparable there to Dynasty, which did around 145,000 buys, so this would likely be a little bit lower since other distributors were down.”

> Meltzer also wrote that a potential reason for the show trending below other AEW pay-per-views this year was the lack of an AEW World Championship match. AEW World Champion MJF was involved in the 12-person steel cage match on the show, leading a team of Don Callis Family members against a team led by Mark Briscoe.

> Meltzer continued:

> “As far as a reason, my gut is the lack of an AEW world title match is the main culprit as MJF would have meant more in a singles match than in a 12-man match to build up a title match.”

> MJF later defeated Briscoe in a title match to open the July 1 episode of AEW Dynamite.

> Meltzer also noted that the pay-per-view was up against NXT Great American Bash and a Sunday night baseball game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. However, it was not up against a primetime World Cup game.

Has Jim become one of those people they need to take the Internet away from?

Have you seen Twitter today like every wrestler is ganging up on him because of oh boy in NXT how he called him Chaz Bono. It’s like every WWE wrestler has posted about it. Some AEW have posted about it. Well at least he’s trending again.

Uncle Dave on WWE's repeated counterprogramming of AEW: “I think they perceive this as a crucial time for AEW. They'll sacrifice their own numbers to kill it as has been clear since 2019. At first it's hard to understand why right now, but it does make sense based on long-term from that side.”

Big Bill Reportedly Gives Notice To AEW, Expected To Land In WWE Alongside Enzo Amore

I hope they put him with Ricky Saints. I was really digging their team till Tony decided to bench Ricky.

What Jim think of Mercedes Mone now?

Mercedes delivers in the ring, her match with Maya World was epic. The CEO does her thing and in ring is the greatest I’ve ever seen. Jim will have to admit it one day, Jim has been very rude to the CEO. When will we hear his opinions on Mone recent work?
