Booking Change?

Post by Big Red Machine » Mar 1st, '16, 15:13

Some semi-reputable sources are apparently reporting that Daniels is now the assistant booker. Don't know what this means for Truth and/or Kevin Kelly who were both supposedly doing that job. Hopefully this is true as Daniels sure as hell knows how to tell a story.

Could be, but I don't think so. I think this was just done to make Dijak look like a killer.

BJ Whitmer also apparently has taken on "more backstage duties."

If I had to guess, based on both his trainer and how he shows his ass as heel, I'd imagine that Whitmer is a pretty old-fashioned guy with an old-school mentality.

so this is what i understood from Meltzer. ROH has gone a bit old school with a booking committee, which consists of Hunter Johnston (Delirious) as the head, he still has final say on what goes out, Christopher Daniels, BJ Whitmer, Kevin Kelly and Todd Sinclair. Meltzer points out that while he is only heard of it recently this could have been in place for as long as the last year, but it's definitely in place now.

Todd Sinclair? That seems kind of random.
The rumored old booking committee was Delirious as the head, with Kevin Kelly and Truth Martini assisting him. One would think that with Kevin Kelly on the booking committee, he would be able to effectively communicate some of the stories to us, but clearly that hasn't been happening.

I thought the same thing with Kelly. Sinclair i'm guessing has enough time with the company that understands well how stories are perceived on the ring and what makes ROH stay ROH and note become CornetteROH or DeliriousROH.

Good point about Sinclair.
Kelly doesn't surprise me because he's been around for so long, and I'm pretty sure he was doing at least some of the booing in ECWA at some point.
