classiq. Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Ring of Honor Chief Operating Officer Joe Koff stated this morning that there will be an announcement made later today regarding the company's television situation. The ROH deal with Destination America expires in early December and no renewal had been announced. The removal of ROH from prime time several months ago was not considered a good sign. Reports dating back to August were that is was unlikely ROH would be renewed. Jane Latman, who took over from Marc Etkind as the General Manager of the station about six weeks ago, had said she was going to be reviewing all programming, and as of a few weeks ago, that was the information the company had received. Mike Johnson on PWInsider reported today, stating it was not from ROH sources, that the contract was going to expire without a renewal. http://www.f4wonline.com/ring-honor/roh-make-tv-announcement-today-201831?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNFNS Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Ring of Honor to air nationally on COMET starting December 2nd #WatchROH every Wednesday at MIDNIGHT EST/11pm CST on COMET (BALTIMORE, MD) Ring of Honor (ROH) is proud to announce that beginning December 2nd, ROH will air its weekly television program nationally on the COMET television channel. Fans will be able to #WatchROH every Wednesday night at midnight for the latest Ring of Honor action. Ring of Honor has been enjoying tremendous growth and expansion across the broadcast space, including new local TV deals in strategic markets, and even internationally with L'Equipe 21 in France, said Ring of Honor COO, Joe Koff. As we continue to push for greater domestic and international distribution, Ring of Honor truly showcases itself as world-class wrestling. Having Ring of Honor on COMET, in addition to the availability in Sinclair markets and independent agreements, means fans across the United States can continue to enjoy ROH television weekly. Ring of Honors weekly episodes recently enjoyed great success on Destination America, peaking at 227,000 viewers on a single television airing. ROHs 26-week deal signed in May 2015 with Destination America is set to expire, which will see ROHs final episode air on the channel on November 25th, 2015. Sinclair Television Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) (Sinclair), and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), recently announced that COMET, the first-ever 24 hour/7 day per week science fiction multi-channel network, which will feature more than 1,500 hours of premium MGM content, would premiere in over 60% of the country and over 65 million homes on October 31st of this year. The network will debut in all top markets including New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Chicago, IL; Philadelphia, PA; Seattle, WA; Denver, CO; St. Louis, MO; San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA; Washington D.C.; Boston, MA; Pittsburgh, PA and Houston, TX. In addition to the Sinclair owned television stations, COMET will also launch on a number of Tribune and Titan stations. http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/ring-honor-air-nationally-comet-starting-december-2nd Don't know if it's worse than Destination America, hey, it's a TV deal though.

Guest Fight Me. Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I think this is good news for ROH to not have to precede TNA every week. Actually they changed it a couple months ago, they've actually been coming on after Impact instead. Which is good cause its not on at the same time as NXT, but bad cause I'm tired by 11pm so I just save it for the next day lol. Also sucks cause I actually have DA, but I don't think I have this new channel. Edited November 16, 2015 by Fight Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiq. Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 is reportedly interested ROH World Champion Jay Lethal, according to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The company is looking to expand their touring schedule heading into 2016, Lethal would certainly be a strong addition to the roster. Lethal’s ROH contract is ending soon and will likely receive a phone call from WWE. http://www.lordsofpain.net/indy/WWE_NXT_Interested_in_ROH_World_Champ.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Ring of Honor stars The Young Bucks recently spoke with Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald and below are some interview highlights: On their recent decision to re-sign with ROH: “We were feeling burnt out, and our bodies were hurting,” Matt said. “We were missing that valuable time at home. We are fathers with young babies. About a year ago, we really started thinking that maybe it’s time to slow it down and take a little bit of a break. Ring of Honor has this great thing with New Japan — this relationship. They got together and wanted to help us. They saw how banged up we were. ROH offered us this great deal and New Japan backed it. We looked at each other and thought now was the time. “They offered us a good amount of money,” Matt continues. “Basically, the same amount of money we would make on the independents anyway — and we would have a lot more time with our family. So it was just win-win for us. It wasn’t really a hard decision once the offer came. We are signed for 14 months and now 13 months are left on the thing. Once we signed, I think we felt pretty good. Now that we are living the new schedule it feels really good to be home more. My body feels a lot better.” On resonating with the audience: “I think it was when we got screwed by TNA, and they didn’t know how to use us properly,” he said. “Then the WWE thing happened with Booker T. Then we went to ROH and that didn’t go good with [Jim] Cornette. So I think the fans had a lot of sympathy for us. They felt like we didn’t deserve the treatment we were getting. From all of that, I think they had sympathy for us and liked what we were doing at the time. They felt we were getting screwed. I think they supported us from that, and it snowballed.” On wrestlers using similar maneuvers and in-ring styles: “I like it,” Matt agrees. “It’s all fun. I turned on Raw for a minute — and I haven’t watched it in a long time — but this week I decided to watch a little bit of it. I’m sitting there with my wife, who isn’t necessarily the most wrestling educated person in the world, and she is going, ‘Oh my God, these guys look like you,’ and ‘These guys are doing moves like you, Matt. Are they copying you?’ I don’t think they are copying what we do. Maybe that’s just the wrestling trend right now. Whatever is popular is popular for a reason. We all kind of do it." http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/648405-the-young-bucks-reveal-why-they-re-signed-with-roh-say-they-were-screwed-by-tna-talks-wrestlers-using-similar-moves-and-more#.VmCjafNzCOI.twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
