Former ROH booker Gabe Sapolsky and former Ring of Honor owner Cary Silken have both taken to social media to react to the news that Ring of Honor has been sold to AEW President Tony Khan.
Sapolsky said,
“Congrats to Tony Khan on becoming owner of Ring Of Honor. I never dreamed 20 years ago that it would be a part of a prominent promotion on TBS. This is wild. So happy that many more can enjoy the legacy of ROH and it will continue to blaze a path in the world of pro wrestling.”
“Here’s how Ring Of Honor started. It was announced as a monthly indie in a mail order catalog for a video company. I never dreamed that 20 years later it would be featured on a prominent, red hot wrestling show on TBS. I’m very happy that so many more will now enjoy the legacy of ROH and that it will continue to blaze a path in the world of pro wrestling. Congratulations to Tony Khan on becoming the new owner. I normally give a pro tip in my IG posts. All I’ll say here is to never limit yourself and anything is possible in life. It means so much to me that this little indie darling from 2002 will forge forward in 2022 and continue to build community while bringing entertainment to the fans.”
Silkin added,
“Congrats to @TonyKhan and @AEWLive
At least I feel my baby is in good hands. What a long strange trip it’s been! @ringofhonor
