The only other person that would make sense to induct the Undertaker is dead.
RIP Paul Bearer.

I actually wonder if AEW might enjoy being able to have that kind of relationship go both ways, if they can maintain the prestige and reputation of the ROH belts; like, if a big name AEW wrestler runs through the available feuds for the current time, and they want him to remain prestigious, maybe give him a bit of a break, and make sure that ROH outcomes still matter, have them stop over and dominate an ROH division for a while… and vice versa.
Like, do a brand split where the formats and styles are different enough that it feels like different types of leagues rather than different corporate branding. Like if Miro showed up on ROH, took their championship, and then when he returned to AEW was “chased” by an ROH wrestler to reclaim the belt, with it being treated as vaguely equal to the AEW belt. Or heck, maybe you give Hangman Page something like that role, and in counter to it, have some ROH champ roll over to AEW and do a brief “belt collector” reign.
ROH and AEW could act as “pressure valves” to each other.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
Just don't treat the ROH championship like the NXT championship the NXT championship was never on the same level as the other 2 championships in WWE it never mattered out side of NXT make sure it is on the same footing as the AEW championship
and none of that was a good thing for them. also at least there was some intrigue as to where they would go, which wasn't the case for nxt.
if i was a big roh fan this is xactly what i'd be afraid of.
the only way to REALLY make that work would be to keep them completely separate.
i saw that aew is coming to california this summer, hopefully i can make it out to socal and check it out.
“If you on the Left and are shocked by Putin’s aggression, wake up, Sunshine. Historically in the real world, might makes right. Weakness (which is really what the Left is all about) is not a virtue. It’s a fatal character flaw.
(And, no, the US should still not get involved).”
“I highly doubt Putin cares a whit about toxic masculinity, the Cancel Culture Mutawa, or any of the other things the radical Left stands for.”
