Good eye on the Roll-out e-mail! I glossed over that entirely. Glad to see Survival of the Fittest returning! I wonder where Glory by Honor will be this year...

I thought the way they handled Jimmy Jacobs role in the Farewell was brilliant. He came out, gave the confrontation tease, then gives Steen a big hug and they, along with Corino, got the legit moment together that they all deserved in the ring. Then BJ/Roddy come out and attack to reveal that Jacobs...

Glad to see he's still at it...I really think he's added a lot for them this year.

Pretty cool, but I don't think this will affect ROH at all. Agreed in general. 3 things to take from this from an ROH perspective: 1. SBG getting deeper into creating it's own content. This is a good sign for ROH's value to the corporation. A year ago I was 50/50 on whether they would look at ROH a...

PRESS RELEASE July 17, 2014, 8:30 a.m. EDT Sinclair Broadcast Group To Launch The American Sports Network; Enters Into Sports Rights And Content Development Agreements With Leading NCAA Conferences BALTIMORE, July 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. SBGI +1.73% (the "Company...

It's on Slide 24 of the most recent presentation (on the National Viewing graph). Again, the # is from one week in May 2013 prior to a bunch more affiliates being added, but it's the only national viewer # or estimate I've ever seem from them.

I've been to both Hammerstein and Turner Hall in Milwaukee and I love both but don't think Turner Hall is an appropriate PPV or major event location. The charm of it is that it's small, old, and has a feel of watching wrestling in a bar. It's absolutely my favorite venue to be there live...but I wou...

At the risk of rumor-mongering, does anyone know or recall Court Bauer's consulting arrangement with ROH having a timeframe associated with it? I'm a regular MLW listener and follow Court on twitter and get the sense that things have cooled off since the PPV with him. He posted the following cryptic...

Funny enough I was thinking at War of the Worlds that they likely would have been able to sell out the Theater at MSG (5,500 seat theater in the Garden that runs boxing and concerts), but that place costs a fortune I'm sure. To be honest I've always been shocked that ROH could even run NYC given the...

Technically, I don't know what their policy is on guys signing deals while they're still under contract. I have to believe there's still a verbal deal in place, given that in addition to not agreeing to future dates w/ROH he's not signed for BOLA or other Indy dates either beyond this month.

If there's one thing that these presentations reinforced to me, it's that cable TV is very much the enemy in terms of competition with SBG, so the likelihood of them ever allowing ROH to sell it's programming to a cable network is very very slim. I still don't know why they don't try to sell it inte...

These are actually astonishingly good numbers when you consider the factors. TNA on Spike draws between 1m and 1.3m viewers weekly (domestic) on a station reaching nearly the entire country. If ROH is getting 25-35% of that when the show is only on in 1 of the Top 20 US television markets (Minneapol...

Not sure if any of you care at all, but there is some fairly prominent mention of ROH in Sinclair's investor presentations this year. The context is how their programming consistently beats cable channels and it is mentioned along with local news as the example of that. There are also some numbers a...

The Decade tag idea makes a TON of sense.

That was just the PPV number. And 10,000 was the break even number that's had been talked about before...but they'd also said they'd have been okay with a couple thousand fewer for the first shot. I take this to be pretty encouraging even if it's vague. The other positive sign is the note elsewhere ...

OP really should have researched before proclaiming that ROH is running an 8,000 seat arena. Lakeland Center has four "venues". ROH is not running the Jenkins Arena, but rather the Exhibit Hall. Apologies for the irresponsible post. As a newer poster, I don't have quite the quality contro...

In don't understand UStream's business or core strategy fully, but the impression I got was that their focus is providers (companies) paying them to stream content to viewers in a setting where the viewer isn't paying them is the part of their business they're focused on. It sounded as if the logist...

Potentially very bad news from Court Bauer's MLW podcast today: he said he was told by someone at UStream that they are planning on getting out of the iPPV business. He said the exact scope and timeframe of the move isn't clear yet, but he's concerned and noted that it will have a big impact on not ...

Can't speak to Lakeland, but every indication is that Wheeling is in the main arena. I've been to WesBanco Arena and although they have meeting rooms I don't believe they have a secondary space large enough to hold an ROH event. The seating chart for the event also says "1st, 2nd, and 3rd Level...
