It sucks that I don't get the channel, but I'm happy for ROH. Hopefully this will lead to great things for them. I have to check if I have HDNet on AT&T U-Verse (and get off of your asses and put MLB Network on their service, damnit ).

I have Cablevision, and do not get HDNet. My cousin, however, has FiOS, and DOES get HDNet. I'm going to go do a little dance.

No, if Mark Cuban invests in it too much, he might buy it, it becomes like WCW and we all know how that turned out. I'm happy for ROH, because chances are slim that something like that happens, but ROH must proceed with caution. Cuban is hands off with HDNET Fights, but he does invest in them. I think with MMA and wrestling, the network will get even more viewing from me. Seriously though, Silkin talked about upgrading production values and it's been his goal to make ROH big time. Part of it was changing his booker to a guy who books his shows a bit more user friendly. Another part of it will be getting talent to be a big part of the show. I really hope they bring in Human Tornado and attempt at getting more SoCal talent in the federation. Scorpio (i really hope his "retirement" was a hoax), Joey Ryan, Karl Anderson, Tornado, and the Young Bucks would be awesome additions to the roster and are TV ready IMO.

damn, sucks that I don't have it, but having been a fan of ROH for nearly 4 years now, I can state that I have never been happier for the company. Hopefully there will be other ways to watch it(ROH's website, HDnet's website, Youtube/DailyMotion) at least until I move into my own place next fall and can possibly get the network.
Hell, I'd even be willing to buy the shows on DVD/through Itunes if that was the only way I could watch it short of using torrents(can't at school)

This is the next step up from ROH.
They truly are no longer an indie, they are a wrestling company.

I have a feeling this will officially put a stop to any TNA talent(Joe, MCMGs, LAX) making any appearances in ROH, even on just strictly-DVD shows.
But, with ROH getting TV, perhaps when some contracts come close to expiring/do expire, ROH will be a viable option(at least more viable than the past).
Now hopefully ROH can get Paul London to at least do a few shows.

Would love to see it. But I just hope the phrase "ROH on HDNet" doesn't get up there with "ECW on TNN" Well its good that we don't have to worry about that kind of thing, because from what i read the deal is HDnet pays for all production costs and ROH doesn't charge them for licensing

I wonder when the start date is so I can order the channel in time for it...

Congrats. It seems like, with this network, it is going to be very straight up fighting. Obviously, many of the storylines in ROH will be kept (as they are more cutting edge in general then TNA or WWE), and it should be interesting to see how it turns out.

So people without HD are screwed? FAILURE! HD TVs and service are a excretory matterload of money. Not fair to Krimzon. Krimzon sad. You do not need a HD television. All you need is a HD receiver from your provider. I do not have a HD TV in my room, but I do the the HD receiver. I watch HDNet all the time. It only costs a little bit more a month, I think, and it's worth it. Totally. All the HD channels and the HD receiver itself only costs us $3 extra per month.

With D'Lo Brown being on an upcoming show, do you think he could be the one that ROH uses for star power?

While my TV isn't High Definition, my DVR box is, so I might get HDNet.
