Bully Ray has weighed in on who is his booker of the year so far, naming Impact Wrestling’s Scott D’Amore. Bully waded into the early debate on the topic on Busted Open Radio, noting that D’Amore has been responsible for a big turnaround at Impact.

“I pay attention to a lot of things in wrestling, especially how things happen behind the scenes,” Ray said (per Wrestling Inc). “The reason I pick [Scott] D’Amore is because we’ve seen the turnaround in IMPACT in the past year. Yes, there’s a creative team behind D’Amore, Shawn, Hunter, and Tony … I don’t consider Tony Khan a booker, I consider him a matchmaker. D’Amore has taken Impact and worked so well with the talents the company is growing.”

They attempted to get it but im guessing TK coughed up more money
TK wanted All In and it came with ROH, so I'm not surprise about it. Makes me wonder how much he spent on getting ROH, because WWE would just want the catalogs and Impact would want the same, but also absorb the company as well.

When asked how much he spent to acquire Ring of Honor, Tony Khan would not give an exact number – but said it was less than Jim Crockett Promotions paid to get the UWF. JCP paid 4.2 million dollars to buy out UWF.

Makes sense when you take account how ROH went into a nasty downward spiral late last decade that makes Impact's look child's play, then the lockdown three years ago at the same time their former parent company Sinclair said, "you're on your own" :ufdup: in that same instant. Probably paid around 2 million.
