HarryArchieGus Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I bought Honor Club for the fantastic PPV, but wondering if anybody has any suggestions for other content? Of the more recent ROH, I've only really seen the shows I saw live at Ted Revee Arena here in Toronto. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Shadow Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 This was my first ROH show and I really enjoyed it. I was stunned Swerve took that spot and I'm glad he's okay. The Briscoes are crazy people. Amazing match. Yuta has grown on me and I hope his push continues. Main event was aces. One reason to continue to watch is the Pure division. The separate rules they have are interesting to me and you can go in a lot of new directions in that match type. Will have to find out where to watch this weekly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost assuredly yes But technically anything is possible until TK announces what the future plans are and he was supposedly waiting until the sale is finalized (which last I heard, technically, wasn't) to do so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) The way Tony Khan talks about their future tv show...sounds like airing on somewhere else. Maybe on some other Warnermedia Channel. https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/03/tony-khan-addresses-the-future-of-rohs-tv-product/ Also it seems only one weekly show for ROH unlike AEW.

Stood out with the rules and tactics around them. 31 minutes ago, DEAN said: Meltzer calls this number "phenomenal." Well deserved. Combination of Tony Khan buying ROH, his track record in AEW, wanting to see the first show since said purchase and a true dream match in #FTR vs. The Briscoe Brothers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stood out with the rules and tactics around them. I really dug the Pure Title Match. I do think they need to provide a tidier presentation of said rules. I'd like to see a video package that showcases the rules with highlights of previous bouts. Or something new that's nicely filmed. The billboard of rules as is looks like a lot of jargon that is easily missed for a newcomer. I wasn't a newcomer but my pal was and she was full of questions that could have been better answered. I assume those numbers are PPV buys only(?). I wonder what the Honor Club numbers look like. That's how I streamed this. Also, curious as to how these numbers compare with past shows. I'm guessing this is a huge leap. And I'm hoping this helps, as TK alluded to in the post scrum, in getting them a weekly timeslot. The future looks very bright for this Ring of Honor.

Titus isn't somebody I'd root for to get signed, but he did a helluva job dropping the belt to Suzuki. My guess is we'll see a number of former talents brought in sparringly for job duty or a short program. @RIPPAWas there any other ROH updates in the Observer this week?

Matt D Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 To me, it seems like the way to go is with a weekly HBO max show. Then it's not so directly competing with TBS/TNT but they can still push all sorts of "brand synergies" between the two products and it might test the waters for AEW specials on there. Of course, that could eventually mess with whatever Khan's doing with a streaming service, but an AEW hub on HBO Max probably makes the most sense anyway right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there was this https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/aews-tony-khan-having-more-conversations-with-warnermedia-about-growing-roh Basically WarnerMedia has to approve whatever it is that TK wants to do with it seeming like TK wants to do a weekly show with like Quarterly "events" This is partly why TK keeps thanking WarnerMedia since they could have cancelled Supercard of Honor Other than that nothing really Earth shattering (and some of this might have been know already) Tickets for Supercard weren't great until Briscoes/FTR was added TK is still conflicted about running Supercard as an annual event at Mania time. If he does it next year, it definitely won't be on Friday He wants to book Purrazzo vs. Martinez as soon as possible (to consolidate the belts and to, most likely, get the title off of Purrazzo) TK said when he renewed Brian Cage's deal he couldn't tell Cage the reason since TK was under a NDA Samoa Joe was actively trying to get people in WWE to purchase the ROH library. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
