He’s not wrong I’m a Ring of Honor fan but something’s been really off the last two years It's called "We can't let guys get TOO hot, or WWE's gonna come a callin', then we're really boned." Pretty simple formula really. WWE being in "HIRE EVERYONE NOW!" mode is bad for other wrestling companies. |

I can't say I disagree with him. I remember in the mid 00's ROH having this almost mythical status with me. I was in college here in the UK, so I couldn't afford to buy every DVD that they released. The few I managed to get my hands on blew me away, and it was so frustrating that I had bo means of really following the company back then. But now when ROH is a lot easier to follow, I have zero interest. Their roster really does nothing for me, aside from the New Japan talent- who I already get to see in New Japan. I am happy that they're doing good business, but there is nowhere near the buzz that they had ten years ago. As an aside, I really wish they'd re-release all the old stuff. I'd love to finally have the chance to watch it all. Seconded, watching the older ROH stuff from 2004-05, it got me hooked enough to go to the live shows in NY/NJ/PA and would always get the ROH DVD's. I also wish they would do an on-demand service like WWE and put the older shows up, I'd get it in a heartbeat. |

Sorry, to be honest I didn't know about it as I've not been following it that closely these past few years. Do they have all the older ROH shows from the beginning? |

I haven't really followed ROH in years, but I know they're doing great business right now. Kevin Sullivan waxing poetic about whatever shit doesn't change that.
It's also not fair to compare their business to what All In is doing. Especially since for all we know for now All In is a one-off special event that has had an enormous groundswell of hype behind it. While at the same ROH is running shows on the regular, so if given the choice between the two, what would you expect fans to choose first? Anyway, none of that matters since ROH is still doing good business anyway.

After taking a quick look on reddit, apparently it goes back to 2011, when it goes back to the 02-08 period I definitely would jump aboard. |

Which means they're probably in the process of editing out unlicensed entrance music. 2011 was around the time Sinclair bought them. |
