Agreed on ROH, but I would say a pretty good chunk of AEW fans are AEW fans because of NJPW (myself included), and the partnership with NJPW means the integration makes sense.
ROH, however, needs to be its own separate entity.

What is it with Tony and tournaments? Vince HATED them, which never made sense either. Yet there should be a middle ground between none and having them dominate three shows every week.

The Continental Classic is basically a straight ripoff of NJPW's G1 Climax tournament. The G1 is one of my favourite events in all of wrestling, but the thing that makes it great is the winner gets a HW title shot, and the tournament always includes the major NJPW champions in it. Having them included usually means some upsets and more unpredictable booking.
I guess my point is that I don't really mind TK holding tournaments similar to what NJPW does, but they need to be set well ahead of time and the booking needs to be much better.
