ROH doesn't carry the same impact it once did when you mentioned it to a lot of fans, but this would still be a pretty big deal.

I don't completely disagree with your point. There is still time to see more of the NXT originals start to move on to bigger things. However, the most celebrated NXT members tend to be known names from outside WWE. Balor, Joe, Rollins, Zayn, Owens, DIY, Ohno, Roode, Nakamura, Asuka, Ember Moon, etcThe Legend wrote:NXT isn't without its success stories, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Enzo and Cass, American Alpha, Balor (not known in America much at all).
Also, it goes to figure that the biggest stars so far have come from backgrounds with other major promotions. NXT is four years old, meaning the mainstays from the early days have only been in WWE for a couple of years at most, they are still on their career ascension, especially since they are all younger than the guys that worked up to the likes of ROH.

Kirbi has a co-worker who is literally flying over to America from Ireland for Wrestlemania week, and is going to the Ring of Honor show and some of the other shows, but isn't going to see Wrestlemania itself. That would have seemed insane to me in the past, but this year I kinda get it.
It would suck for New Japan if ROH was bought out by WWE, because of their business relationship. ROH is a great way to get more exposure for the NJPW talent within the United States. Same goes for CMLL in Mexico, but to a lesser extent.
