Thread: Ring of Honor (ROH) discussion

While that is nice the problem still lies for most fans

No Sinclair owned or being run by them station equals no ring of honor shows. They need to go to the oddball stations in markets where they have no presence and try to get it on there. Oddball as in Indy stations, CW or My affiliates, even smaller subchannels like Fox in markets.

ROH ADDS INTERNET PPV
The Ring of Honor Tenth Anniversary event in New York City on Sunday 3/4 has been added to GoFightLive's schedule as an Internet PPV, adding a new iPPV to the company's calendar.
ROH will also run iPPVs on 3/30 and 3/31 over Wrestlemania weekend in Miami, Florida.

. There's lots of talk of the Anniversary show being a springboard to really push Cole and O'Reilly as singles stars for the company. Their work has been top notch over the last year, so it's certainly deserved.

ROH Final Battle 2011 will be released on DVD this Tuesday.

ROH announced there will be a meet and greet with the roster Fort Lauderdale weekend.

Last weekend's ROH on Sinclair TV is now available for all Ringside members on
www.rohwrestling.com


. The paid Ringside Membership has added a number of titles to their VOD section, including the 2002 Crowning A Champion event which featured Low Ki winning the ROH title in an incredible four way match. I think the Murphy Rec Center was 120 degrees that night and Christopher Daniels, Ki, Doug Williams and Spanky (Brian Kendrick) were beyond impressive working a 60 minute match under those conditions.

There are plans for some additional CHIKARA appearances at events to build toward the 4/28 double header in Chicago Ridge, IL.

As we noted a few week of so ago, Rhett Titus is scheduled to return to the ring the first weekend of March at the 3/3 Baltimore, MD TV Taping and 3/4 NYC Internet PPV.

Jim Cornette will be bringing a ROH challenger to face NWA champion Adam Pearce onThursday 3/29 NWA Ring Warriors event in Fort Lauderdale. For details, visit

PWInsider.com is seeking live reports from the Cincy debut.

last weeks show was good for 3 reasons
-Steen....yeah he's an arrogant p***k but thats what wrestling needs
-Cornette in full JC mode (like when he ran Smokey Mountain Wrestling or Ohio Valley Wrestling)
-Dem Boys (Briscoe Brothers)

Of course Corny doing the whole "the piledriver is outlawed" line brought us back to 1994

Best show so far since they started on Sinclair.

roh best wrestling show going imo

well thats debatable by each week

some weeks its really dumb and some weeks its really good.
Unlike WWE where one week is good and 5 weeks suck
or TNA where....well I dont even watch it so cant comment

Some weeks my local Indy fed is better than all of them...and they're only on for 1/2 hour each week

true ice but if they have shows like last week every week it will be
