In a recent interview with Irish Wrestling & Entertainment, former ROH owner Cary Silkin made a comparison between watching WWE and AEW to observing a soap opera.
Silkin also discussed the potential impact of ROH on the success of certain WWE and AEW wrestlers.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On watching WWE and AEW: “When I do watch either WWE or AEW or I go visit — which I did a few weeks ago to AEW or TNA, whatever they’re called this month — it’s like an episode of ‘All My Children.’
On if certain WWE and AEW wrestlers would make it big without ROH: “I’m happy for everybody that’s, you know -– did the Ring of Honor platform … Well, here’s the question: if the Ring of Honor platform didn’t exist, would a Samoa Joe, or a Tyler Black/Seth Rollins, or a Kevin Steen/Kevin Owens, or a Kyle O’Reilly. I mean, or a Mark Briscoe, Jay Lethal, so on and so forth, would they have had the success? Without patting myself on the back too much, it was such a different climate in wrestling.”
