No way; possibly if you included "and if ROH had the stars that WWE has". But the booking style they use hasn't made anybody into big drawing stars, so it's possible that if ROH brought in big stars their way of doing things would diminish the star power aspect. Like it or not star power draws crowds, not technical talent, just like in music and movies.

Why would you assume what applies to an organization that is built around real fights applies to an organization that is built around fake fights? This seems utterly absurd to me; basically you are suggesting that a hugely successful business should try to become a cheap imitation of a an even more successful business. It's like having somebody at Subway say "hey, Mcdonald's sells more food then us, so if we switch to burgers and fries, but without the key ingredient of decent price, we will sell even more!"
