Since Tony Khan bought ROH, fans of the promotion have been hoping for it to regain its former glory as a leading company in the independent scene. However, the lack of a traditional television deal, combined with its peculiar management (with extensive recording sessions, episodes full of matches, and a lack of storytelling), has led many fans to criticize the product.

One of these fans shared a screenshot of an episode of ROH rated 5.57 on Cagematch. "What are we doing with ROH, brother? This is just an example of the disaster happening these days. I would love to see ROH return to its roots and start organizing real shows again," the fan wrote.

When the comment reached Khan, he decided to respond to the fan, accusing him of deliberately seeking out a low-rated episode to criticize the program. "'These days?' It's October. This TV show was in July. Since then, there was an excellent ROH Death Before Dishonor PPV in August, which received much praise. Last night, there was a free ROH show on YouTube with tremendous action. You deliberately chose a TV show from months ago and called it 'these days'," wrote the President of AEW.

Ring of Honor airs its weekly programming every Thursday through HonorClub. Occasionally, the company also offers some unreleased episodes for free through its official YouTube channel, as it happened last night.

ROH's programming is usually recorded before the live broadcasts of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision. Additionally, the company periodically holds recording sessions at the WJCT Studios in Jacksonville, Florida, where a good portion of its television content is produced.
