I'm a believer that no matter what, things can always be improved upon. Even if it's little things. So I was wondering, what would you do to improve Ring of Honor?
First thing that comes to mind is the announce team. Prazak and Leanord are generally play by play and both face. I've seen FIP and I find Prazak amusing as the heel announcer. If he could bring this to ROH, I think it'd help.
If you have anymore suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

Larry Sweeney. On commentary.

3 things....
1)Let Larry Sweeney wrestle. His style would piss the hardcore ROH fans off so much, it's ridiculous.
2)When he's not wrestling or managing, Larry Sweeney should be on color commentary. The guy's hilarious when you put a mic in front of him.
3)Whenever Larry Sweeney's not on screen, all the other wrestlers and commentators should be asking, "Where's Sweeney?"

*waits for the inevitable "GET A TOTALLY NEW FAN BASE!11!1!!11 comments*
They do a great job at stretching out feuds when they want to, but a lot of times once they hit something hot they'll plow it in to the ground (at least match-wise) in a short time. NCR v Resilience; Hero v. Claudio etc.
Stretch some of them out a little more sometimes.

I'm gonna have to say fewer factions please. I'm all for a little faction warfare...just not when everyone and their brother is a faction. NRC and Resilience make sense, and I'm totally behind the Vulture Crew, but personally, I think factions like the Hangmen 3 are a tad unnecessary.

I also think there should be more variety as far as styles go. Sure, Jigsaw and Mike Quackenbush have obvious lucha insperation, but imagine a guy like Mistico or Perro Aguayo Jr. in ROH. I remember hearing that Gabe doesn't enjoy that style but damn would it be cool for a night.

NCR v Resilience; Hero v. Claudio etc. Stretch some of them out a little more sometimes. Exactly. For the most part, the greatest feuds are the ones without a ton of matches in them(Like Homicide/Danielson in 06). It mkes that first match-up that much more special. I think they could utilize their online content a little better. I know a lot of other hardcore ROH fans would kill me for saying this, but I think they could take a page out of TNA's book with this; specifically TNA Today. On TNA Today, a lot of it is promo's and segments by guys who maybe don't get oodles of TV time, thus furthering their character still. ROH's videowires still are just the same guys for the most part. Briscoes, Danielson, Aries, McGuinness, Briscoes, Wash, Rinse, Repeat. I think some interviews with more lower-card talent would really help. Especially now that all the video-wires are on DVD.

Oh, and give it up with the FIP Championship. When Strong is in a match defending it NO ONE thinks he's losing it, and it makes the match seem much less up for grabs. I know Gabe wants to get FIP out there to more people, but the ROH fans in general don't give a crap about that belt.
I've seen some people saying they think this is all building to Strong vs Nigel in Florida for Mania weekend, title for title. That would be great, but there's still no need for him to be defending it on ROH shows. Again, no one thinks he's dropping it.

Is Roddy STILL FIP champion? Yeah, he's getting a Danielson style reign in FIP with it from what I've seen. Beat Claudio in a 2 out of 3 falls match to retain recently.

Get rid of the Vulture Squad
Add DP Associates...basically take out Whitmer and make the Hangmen 3, Pearce, Albright, and Hagadorn...perfect.
Add another singles to S'n'S for more matches or for tags with Hero (Though I would keep them in the stable, Toland and Dempsey don't count...they headed that way with Sydal and I would accept the new wrestler being Sweeney)
Throw Necro Butcher out of the Age of the Fall...I just want a Black/Jacobs team...or Marek Brave.
To summarize....change the stables
NRC (Strong, Richards, and Romero) S'n'S (Hero, Toland, Dempsey, Del Rey, Sweeney) DP Associates (Pearce, Albright, Hagadorn) Age of the Fall (Jacobs, Black, (possibly) Brave)

Get rid of the Vulture Squad I can't believe I'm saying this, but I disagree. Despite all my biases, and abject hatred, Jigsaw, Smokes, and Ruckus have made me care about Jack Evans. The Squad must stay!
