ROH planning on returning and doing empty arena shows

[chrom]

According to The Observer, Ring of Honor is planning on returning to tv and do shows without fans in empty arenas. Having been doing profile shows ever since the Corona pandemic. The plan is to do it in either Florida or in Maryland which is where ROH's business operations is located at.

While no return date is specified, they are working on handling testing and safety protocols for the shows.

So a pre pandemic show than?

Not to make light of this....but will Bully Ray look out and shout, "Go be an empty space!"

Somehow, Velvet Sky will still notice at least one pair of eyes with 'evil intent'.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Marty Scurll comes up with in this environment. The guy barely got started taking over as booker when everything got shut down. I'm willing to give him and ROH a shot.

Every ROH show since The Elite left has been an empty arena show.

It's nice to see that at least one wrestling company is getting back to business as usual.

The last event in Nashville we ran eclipsed our previous event in terms of attendance while our St. Louis event was the biggest ever for us in the market attendance-wise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know it can be fun to get jabs in but we had been doing OK attendance-wise prior to the pandemic.

I wonder if these are going to be taped for the tv show or honor club.

I have been on the WrestleCrap boards and their offshoots like this one off and on since they started, ha!

Not management, though. I'm literally only just a commentator.

Still really cool to hear from people who are actually there, leads to less speculation.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I get that companies want to run but empty arena wrestling is butt butt and I’ve basically checked out of all modern wrestling TV for 2020.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

I guess The Sinclairs needed more TV content for there networks. Where ever they air.

I have to give props to ROH for handling the pandemic much better than some of its contemporaries. Going through this so far, having to effectively close down for months and not releasing a single roster member is commendable on several fronts. I know there's been some rocky stuff in the past but you can only do better by going forward and, well, doing better.

Right, I've been happy about them not letting people go.

You're not JUST a commentator, you're ½ of Team I.Q.!

Ah, thanks. Things were turning around in 2020 and I still think they will even further once we get going again.

Not to mention, paying outside talent like Alex Shelley and Tony Deppen for dates that didn't happen with no obligation to do so.

Wish ROH the best.
