General ROH Info

Ring of Honor is an independent professional wrestling promotion created in 2002 that is owned by Cary Silkin and booked by Gabe Sapolsky. Started with shows in the northeast area gaining a cult like following in Philadelphia, New York and Chicago and has recently expanded the fanbase to around the country. They hold shows two to three times each month with the DVD's being released a couple months prior to the date of the show, you can purchase all of the ROH Merchandise from ROHwrestling.com. ROH has a newswire and ROH Video wire that keeps fans around the country updated on future shows and late breaking news as well. What separates ROH from any other indy promotion is the work rate of the wrestlers it's hard to look at Ring of Honor as just another independent promotion.

***ROH does not I repeat DOES NOT have a TV deal unless you have Sky or TWC***

Affiliations Credit - Chaos Theory

Full Impact Pro is Ring of Honor's sister promotion based in Florida, it holds two shows a month and yea it is kind of like a minor league for ROH as ROH calls up FIP talent to its main roster when they feel the time is right e.g. Sal Rinauro. In return ROH wrestlers frequently appear on FIP shows to help the talent and to help draw a bigger crowds.

Current Champions
ROH World Championship - Nigel McGuinness

FIP World Champion - Roderick Strong

ROH Pure Title - Was unified on August 12, 2006 after Bryan Danielson beat Nigel Mcguinness in a title vs title match.

Someone should sticky this, so that all "newbies" to ROH will not have to post separate posts asking ROH Die-hards about the company.

Thank you, i asked someone to post this, because the question gets asked every month

Also, ROH is never on TV in america, it doesnt have weekly shows, its mostly live events, then put on DVD

RFVideo started up their own wrestling promotion which is Ring of Honor a lot of the early ROH shows were sold throught RFvideo.com but they broke ties in 2004 I think when he sold his share of ROH to Gabe and Cary.
