AEW Rampage is a solid promotional vehicle for Ring Of Honor.
AEW and ROH President Tony Khan recently appeared as a guest on the Battleground podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During his appearance on the show, the boss-man of All Elite Wrestling and Ring Of Honor spoke about putting ROH talents on AEW Rampage, and how it helps sell pay-per-views for ROH.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On how Dynamite has basically been free of ROH, except for Chris Jericho, who he believes should be on every show: "One thing I’ve tried to do — I think we only have three hours of AEW TV a week — so I’ve tried to limit the Ring of Honor focus on ‘Dynamite’ to the Ring of Jericho. I saw somebody saying they thought there was too much Ring of Honor on ‘Dynamite’ and I thought that was amusing, because there’s almost no Ring of Honor on ‘Dynamite’ in recent weeks except Chris Jericho and frankly Chris Jericho should be on any wrestling show in the world he wants to be on."
On how he has used ROH talents more on Rampage, and how it helps sell ROH pay-per-views: "On ‘Rampage,’ we have had a variety of [ROH wrestlers] and it’s new wrestlers [for AEW fans] and I think that’s going to be good for our business, because these pay-per-view shows Ring of Honor has done have been really successful for us. We’ve made good money and the grosses of those shows have been in line for what I paid for the entire business, so I would say it’s been a very successful relaunch."
