Wrestling World Reacts To Tony Khan Buying Ring Of Honor

There are a lot of reactions. The wrestling world was changed in a pretty big way this week as AEW President Tony Khan announced that he has purchased Ring of Honor Wrestling. This means that the promotion will continue, though it is not entirely clear where everything is heading. It does mean that people are excited though, and now the wrestling world is reacting to the news.

Following Khan’s announcement this week on AEW Dynamite, the wrestling world has reacted to the news, including several legends, AEW wrestlers and former Ring of Honor stars. Here are some of the highlights, including comments from some stars who might be popping up again in the new Ring of Honor when it relaunches on April 1 with Supercard of Honor:

As far as major announcements go, @TonyKhan acquiring @ringofhonor is pretty freaking major!

Do I follow @TonyKhan now or does that come across weird?

Somebody help here! I haven't dated since 2010 and I haven't looked for a wrestling job since 2014 when ROH came calling.

I started recording on my phone when Tony said “17 years before that”, hoping it was what it was. My reaction. After 17+ years with ROH, this is good for professional wrestling. I can’t remember the last time I talked to my TV. @TonyKhan @AEW #ROH pic.twitter.com/WdDaPxSGmJ

Tony Khan has destroyed that menace Dave Honor for Danhausen. #AEWDynamite

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that is going to get people talking and that is always worth a look. Ring of Honor is the most influential promotion of the modern era and it is great to see that it is going to be back at least in some fashion. Throw in the fact that there is likely to be a lot more money pumped into Ring of Honor this time around and we could be in for something more interesting.

What do you think of the change? Who do you want to see in Ring of Honor? Let us know in the comments below.
