Eric Bischoff isnt buying the Ring of Honor studio experiment at all and hes not sugarcoating it. ROH is set to tape a studio-style show on March 1 at WJCT Studios in Jacksonville, Florida, with internal belief that the location could become a regular home base. The move signals a possible identity shift for the brand, separating it from AEWs touring model. But Bischoff isnt optimistic about it. Speaking on the 83 Weeks podcast on February 28, 2026, Bischoff was asked whether shifting ROH away from being perceived as AEWs C show into a studio environment could actually help the brand. His answer was immediate. The WWE Hall of Famer went further, suggesting that even if the show finds a niche audience, it wont grow beyond that. Bischoffs main issue isnt the concept itself its the modern audience expectation. He argued that wrestling fans are conditioned to expect thousands of fans in large arenas, and a smaller studio environment simply wont deliver that same energy. Drawing from his own experience with TNA, Bischoff explained why he pushed to take that company on the road rather than stay confined to a studio setting. While he admitted hell watch the debut, Eric Bischoff made it clear he already knows what to expect: A studio show is a studio show. It is what it is and what theyve always been. ROHs studio tapings could mark a creative recalibration for the brand as Tony Khan continues exploring long-term television options. But according to Bischoff, the format itself may limit its ceiling before it even finds its footing. Is Eric Bischoff right that ROHs studio experiment is destined to fail, or could a stripped-down format give the brand a distinct identity? Drop your thoughts below.
