Wie WrestlingCorner.de bereits berichtete, vermeldeten Ryan Satin von Pro Wrestling Sheet und Dave Meltzer vom Wrestling Observer, dass die WWE und die Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) aktuell geheime Verhandlungen \u00fcber einen m\u00f6glichen \u201eBuyout\u201c f\u00fchren, da die WWE der Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) Ring Of Honor (ROH) abkaufen und komplett \u00fcbernehmen m\u00f6chte, um u.a.\u00a0die w\u00f6chentliche ROH TV-Show \u201eROH on SBG\u201c k\u00fcnftig auf dem WWE Network auszustrahlen, die ROH Video-Bibliothek f\u00fcr das WWE Network, k\u00fcnftige DVD-Projekte, etc. zu \u00fcbernehmen und die Company \u201eRing Of Honor\u201c\u00a0als Konkurrent „auszuschalten“. Sowohl Ryan Satin als auch Dave Meltzer best\u00e4tigen jedoch,\u00a0dass aktuell noch kein fertiger Vertrag bez\u00fcglich der \u00dcbernahme auf dem Tisch liegt, sondern dass derzeit immer noch lediglich \u201enur\u201c Verhandlungsgespr\u00e4che gef\u00fchrt werden.<\/p>\n
Auf Nachfrage bez\u00fcglich dieses Themas ver\u00f6ffentlichte die\u00a0Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) mittlerweile nachfolgendes Statement, in dem die Company verlauten lie\u00df, dass man sich in der \u00d6ffentlichkeit nicht zu spekulativen Ger\u00fcchten und haltlosen Geschichten \u00e4u\u00dfern wird:<\/p>\n
„Sinclair’s corporate policy is never to comment on speculative rumors and unsubstantiated stories.“<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Auch ein hochrangiger ROH-Offizieller dementierte inzwischen auf Nachfrage gegen\u00fcber CBS Sports den Bericht einer m\u00f6glichen \u00dcbernahme von Ring Of Honor durch WWE und stellte klar, dass an dieser Geschichte nichts dran sei:\u00a0\u201cthere is no story here.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Nach den j\u00fcngsten \u00dcbernahme-Ger\u00fcchten von Ring Of Honor durch WWE verschickte ROH COO Joe Koff laut Informationen von Dave Meltzer vom Wrestling Observer bereits ein Statement an alle aktuell bei Ring Of Honor unter Vertrag stehenden Talente und stellte darin klar, dass die WWE lediglich mit\u00a0der Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) Verhandlungsgespr\u00e4che \u00fcber die Rechte am Bildmaterial ehemaliger Ring Of Honor-Talente gef\u00fchrt hat bzw. noch f\u00fchrt, die heutige WWE-Superstars sind.<\/p>\n ROH COO Joe Koff \u00e4u\u00dferte sich bereits Anfang M\u00e4rz 2017 in einem Interview wie folgt zu einer m\u00f6glichen Zusammenarbeit mit WWE bez\u00fcglich ROH-Shows auf dem WWE Network:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m always open to any conversation. We do business with them if they want to do a DVD or VOD if they need footage from early matches they do come to us. We are open to work with them on that basis because it doesn\u2019t hurt us. It actually helps us.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n „A lot of their current performers and stars are ROH guys and we have their history. So maybe the content of the backstories of Kevin Steen before he became Kevin Owens\u00a0or AJ Styles\u2019 run in Ring of Honor, Tyler Black (aka Seth Rollins), Claudio Castagnoli (aka Cesaro) \u2026 all of the guys who have wrestled for us. We have their backstory and where it began\u2026 That\u2019s our content.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n In diesem Zusammenhang wurde auch bekannt, dass Ryan Satin von Pro Wrestling Sheet als Erster die Bombe platzen lie\u00df und aus seinen zuverl\u00e4ssigen WWE-Quellen von Verhandlungsgespr\u00e4chen zwischen WWE und\u00a0der Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) bez\u00fcglich einer m\u00f6glichen \u00dcbernahme von Ring Of Honor durch WWE berichtet hat. Dave Meltzer best\u00e4tigte mittlerweile, dass er zwar gewusst habe, dass sich WWE und die Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) zu Gespr\u00e4chen getroffen haben, er jedoch aber nicht gewusst habe, welche Bedeutung diese Gespr\u00e4che hatten, bis er den Bericht von Ryan Satin gelesen hat und von der m\u00f6glichen \u00dcbernahme von Ring Of Honor durch WWE erfahren hat. Als er daraufhin bei seinen WWE-Quellen bez\u00fcglich dieses Themas genauer nachgehakt hat, sollen ihm die besagten WWE-Quellen nach ausf\u00fchrlicher Recherche best\u00e4tigt haben, dass der Bericht von Ryan Satin von Pro Wrestling Sheet absolut korrekt ist und der Wahrheit entspricht.<\/p>\n Obwohl hochrangige Offizielle von Ring Of Honor und der Sinclair Broadcast Group bereits in der \u00d6ffentlichkeit klar gestellt haben, dass an den Berichten einer m\u00f6glichen \u00dcbernahme von Ring Of Honor durch WWE nichts dran sei, h\u00e4lt Dave Meltzer weiter daran fest, dass an den Berichten einer m\u00f6glichen \u00dcbernahme von Ring Of Honor durch WWE sehr wohl etwas dran ist und\u00a0ver\u00f6ffentlichte hierzu nachfolgendes Statement im Wrestling Observer-Forum auf F4WOnline.com:<\/p>\n „Let me clear this up again.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Satin’s article is correct.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Anything you hear publicly otherwise is as accurate as UFC was only selling 15% and TNA wasn’t negotiating to sell the company when we reported the Toby Keith story.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Like those stories, this is not a story I’m going to be wrong on no matter how many people publicly say so. There is no telling if a deal will be made, but what they are negotiating is to get tapes and get rid of competition.“<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n (Quelle: Wrestling Observer \/ WrestlingNews \/ PWInsider
