Here is my secret theory (which applies to both him and Ferrara):
Name me ONE PERSON who has come out of the ROH Wrestling School and actually made it. Under ANY trainer, be it Punk, Aries, Dragon, Delirious & Daizee, or Brutal Bob.
None. They all job in ROH for a while and then don't do anything. Rhett and Grizz are the only two who ever even felt like an established part of the regular roster, and Grizz was always a jobber while Rhett was a midcarder at best. In order for them to keep pushing the Wrestling School, they need to have it represented on the roster (which is what WWE has totally failed at with Tough Enough).
that actually makes perfect sense. Aren't Taven, Simon Gotch, and Veda Scott former ROH dojo students? not that they're names to brag about anyway

Taven and Gotch definitely aren't. Good call on Veda, though.
But even so... if your most successful student is either Rhett Titus or Veda Scott then you're not doing so well.

Brutal Bob vs. Cheeseburger announced for the post-DBD tapings. Yeah... this is the sort of feud that should be happening exclusively on regular shows, not on TV tapings.

or not at all, this is the thing when we were talking about a women's division in ROH, they have limited time in shows and they waste it in these guys, I get it that they wanna have cheeseburger out there, but there has to be something better than giving him his own feud, he should just join ACH and Sydal to take on Colby Corino or something

Cheeseburger vs. Colby would actually be a pretty good idea for a pre-show match.

he looks jobbier than Yano and he's not part of the ROH roster, don't waste TV time on people that are not part of the storylines

He's on loan from New Japan. He's just as much a part of the roster as Morishima was in 2007, Shiozaki in 2008, and KENTA in 2006 and 2009.
He is SO MUCH LESS JOBBY THAN YANO. And he is pretty good in the ring. He had a fun and short little angle with Silas and put Silas over. You need people whose job it is to do that.
You've turned heel on the entire undercard.
