ROH To Get Shot At TV Deal?

[Agent P]

NHL and ROH. That is one strange night of television.

[The Great El' PANDA King]

Hooray, ROH is going to TAKE DOWN THE NHL, PEOPLE!

...And I have the Versus Channel, thank lord.

[Joekishi]

why would ROH take down NHL?

The American public is doing a good enough job at that.

GO DUCKS!

Because NHL is the Versus staple.

ROH just needs ten fans and it could beat it.

Thank god I have VS. then. This would be fantastic, and a great way for them to reach more people.

Hmm, interesting. I have this channel and didn't even know it til I looked for it after I read this. I hope it comes through.

I'd be much more likely to watch this than order any DVDs.

Same with me, hopefully it is true.

[The Portable Stove]

Man, I don't watch Vs. that often (Maybe for Legends of the Ring occasionally), but I would LOVE IT if Vs. picked up ROH.

[invaderdave]

Personally I always thought ROH could be a good fit for VS. This could be pretty huge.

I hope it's only a recap show or something like ECW was. I really just don't like the restrictions TV puts on Wrestling.

[Reverend BTY]

I'm in AZ and don't have the VS network. f***in Cox Cable.

[comahan]

Looks like I might need to get Vs.

Vs. might not be so demanding; it's not a HUGE ratings station, so it doesn't expect 3.0's or anything, and it seems to emphasize competition and "purity" (for lack of a better term) than most other sports stations.

Wow, I remember saying a few months ago that VS. would be great for them but, didn't think they would actually end up on there (provided this is true). Simply awesome.

[Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%@h]

Is it on Dish NEtwork, beacuse if not, I think this is a bad idea... if it is the WOO HOO

Yeah its in the 150s (152 or 158 I believe).

EDIT: Channel 151

[BD Punk AKA SUSPENDED!]

If anyone has Dish Network, VS is on channel 155 or somewhere close to that. If this turns out to be true I hope ROH doesn't change their product at all. Because their way has gotten them this far and it would be a huge mistake to change.

[#Classic Hi-Definition X]

If this story holds up, then I'll definitely give it a shot.

[The Line]

Wow. This is the best potential news I've heard all day.

Like said by others, as long as ROH isn't bogged down by VS execs, this could be HUGE for ROH, but I really doubt that will happen.

And if ROH does well(and maybe even CZW), maybe some other companies could get shows(like PWG, FIP, CHIKARA, UWA, or IWA:MS). Maybe make 1 night a week a wrestling night.

Now hopefully, if this is true, VS won't do something stupid like put them on the same time as another well established wrestling show. Wednesday nights would be Bombass

Same here. I haven't enjoyed TV wrestling in a loooong time. From what I've seen from ROH so far, this will be great news for wrestling fans who are sick of the cartoony crap that the WWE/TNA folks churn out.

[Some Guy]

I would imagine the product on VS being the same as it is on The Fight Network north of the border. 2 year old DVDs cut down to 2 hours. That would be a worst case scenario mind you, so really you guys down south don't have too much to worry about.
