ROH are simply not a hot product. And UK Indy wrestling as a whole isn’t as hot as it was a couple,of years ago.
That’s still quite shocking though.

That's not great. Granted, I'm sure they'll sell plenty more by the time the show rolls around, but this isn't a promising sign by any metric.

I wouldn't say the UK bubble has burst, but stuff like NXT UK sorta makes the scene less special. Anyway, on the main topic; not only is ROH unpopular, but I assume for British fans, it's now an unknown property due to how crappy it's been for the past decade or so, with interest waning as time has gone on.

It’s not burst, but with PROGRESS not being as hot, Revpro not automatically selling out York Hall at the moment, WCPW going bust and NXT UK monopolising a big chunk of talent, the scene as a whole doesn’t feel as hot as it did. Still healthy, but maybe not the 2017 peak. That said, this is more about ROHs lack of relevance in the current landscape.

Midcarder Matt Taven ain't putting any butts in seats. You know what would have sold a shitload of tickets for a UK tour? Putting the f***ing title on Marty Scurll at MSG like everybody wanted!🤬🤦♂️

Whether they sell significantly more tickets or not, these aren't one offs. This is becoming a regular trend for them everywhere.

92, 59 and 73 tickets sold. 2014 TNA would look at those numbers and laugh.

Putting the f***ing title on Marty Scurll at MSG like everybody wanted!🤬🤦♂️ Marty Scurll not being champion is one of the biggest " " Why he isn't the face of the company. Granted it is likely once his contract comes up he going to AEW with his friends but if ROH really wanted to attempt to convenience him to stay making him the face of the company would do that and likely would help ROH ticket sales. ROH may not be what it was and gone way down hill. They need someone that fans care about on top. Taven is not that guy, Scrull is that guy. It also never helps when they also had Nick Aldis with the NWA title coming on there show talking how it's the most important title around. Doesn't make the ROH World title look good.

Does Sinclair even care if they're failing? What happens now? Nothing?

come to think of it I'm a UK based wrestling fan group on Facebook, and I can't really remember the last time ROH was brought up, even the fan incident didn't get any attention

It's unfair to compare ROH in the rest of the world to ROH in Madison Square Taven.

I guess the "Mandy Leon Personally Spits In Your Face" promotion hasn't worked out nearly as well as they hoped it would.
