Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

[Montana]

All the top Ring of Honor stars will be in action when ROH returns to the Midwest this September for big shows in Dearborn, Mich., Chicago and Milwaukee.

The mini-tour kicks off on Sept. 6 at the Ford Community Center in Dearborn; then heads to the Odeum Expo in Chicago on Sept. 7; and concludes at the Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee on Sept 8.

Tickets for all three shows go on sale this coming Wednesday, June 12 at 10 a.m. local time for Honor Club members, and Friday, June 14 at 10 a.m. local time for the general public.

Every show in ROH is a must-see event, as evidenced by last month’s War of the Worlds tour, when Shane Tayor shocked the wrestling world by winning the ROH World Television Title in Toronto; ROH World Champion Matt Taven made an impromptu title defense against Mark Haskins in an instant classic in Grand Rapids; and ROH World Tag Team Champions The Guerrillas of Destiny scored a controversial win over the Briscoes in a brutal match in Chicago.

If you’re in the Dearborn, Chicago or Milwaukee area, you won’t want to miss the hard-hitting, in-your-face action that only ROH can deliver live!

the odeum in chicago is a good idea for roh at this point? they need a home run wrestling card.

[supersonic]

That’s also a week after All Out. Gonna need the big guns as mentioned for anyone to give a shit.

The Dearborn/Detroit show is moving back to their slightly smaller venue holds about 1,000 if packed. Maybe they start unloading some dream matches with Cobb/Rush/Bandido/Dragon Lee, etc.

So we have all the dates for the ROH Summer tour, no UK at the moment. Will they run in November like in 2016? It would be great, because travel and accomodation is way cheaper in november than on summer, but I'm pretty sure they won't be comming back to the UK this year after the double shot in 2018.

I would speculate unless UK shows are bought by a local promoter that ROH will skip the UK this year. That return shot yielded abysmal attendance last year.

Wish they would add a show in like the middle of July and a weekend of shows in August in btween Summer Suppercard at the beginning of August and the TV tapings at the end of August. Run the southwest with CMLL talent like I've been saying for a year and a half or so now.

Newark Delaware has a 1,000 seat arena, why not run a show July 13th that the main event is Briscoes vs Brody king and PCO in a cage for the NWA Tag Team Straps.

[monster mafia]

not good so far...

I think the Manhattan Mayhem will eventually trickle in as they announce the card, because it's still New York. But wow, I had no idea that the PPV show in Baltimore was hurting this bad. It's sensationally underwhelming, like, there are barely descriptors that capture how dangerous things for ROH look if these ticket holdings are accurate and the site hasn't been glitching out on them.

[Chrisvegas27]

I have said because aew Impact and roh is going to suffer business wise

[BurningHammer]

Right now, ROH is where it should be, thanks to post elite, post late in building new stars and having bad ones to take the slack, post bad MSG and now post Bully Ray being a complete ass hat,

All of this though can really be sorted if they don’t do anything else moronically stupid, and actually promote locally, poster, flyer, Radio, TV every single event, cut ticket prices

Most of all please do what needed to be done a long time ago, get rid of the ten men and woman that aren’t good enough and replace with better, get done with on going shit story lines that have plagued TV and the company for a good while now. Put the efforts into creative I have seen good in with Taven (without the Kingdom), Dalton, RUSH, Gordon, Briscoe’s, GOD, PCO and use that with the rest of other good wrestlers on the roster.

Haskins, Williams, Taylor, Silas have all been burdened with the Bully Ray stuff and no matter how good a job they do they have to bare its brunt of sucking life out of the company.

I do think the BITW is worth way more attention and a larger attendance that, though I do remember last time they were in Baltimore ticker sales were like this and then there was a big hike for whatever reason.

I will echo all of these sentiments and add the request to not replace those ten with ten people but rather with four. A smaller roster means more time to focus on everyone.

Also, get rid of the six-man tag titles. They are useless.

Yeah I think 4-5 for the make side of things is enough, but I do think you need five female talents to make it a real division.

That's a fair point about the women, but in that case I'd bring in maybe only one or two new men (if any). Otherwise you still have the same problem of there not being enough time to focus on the new people.

I think I would add more men mainly for the Tag division I think singles wise, ROH needs like you say two real quality guys but the tag division needs about two to three new legitimate teams, not ones crafted out of thin air.

I think the best system to use (for all divisions) would be the one they used in the Gabe/Pearce days where you basically had a core of full-time guys and the periphery of the divisions were made up of regional guys, and if someone was really good/got over to a certain level they would be given more chances in other regions or made full-time. It saves money on flying everyone to every city because you're only flying 7/10ths of the crew to every city, creates a hierarchy system that allows fans to instantly recognize a step up for a certain wrestler, and creates the feeling of wrestlers having to earn their way onto the roster by having that actually happen in front of us (instead of people just showing up with contracts).

[BurningHammer]

I would be happy with that if the core talent was strong enough but it really isn't overal I think with things as they are, a deeper roster actually helps here, especially if it's quality guys.

Plus it takes a lot for the office to actually listen to fans and who they want to see, I mean look who is in the roster, if they actually listened to fans they would be in a much better position with talent

[BurningHammer]

It looks we aren't having a PPV for a while if future live shows are anything to go by, so I guess this means we are having a lot more story line work going on for the next three months, this could be interesting and it might be what ROH needs. It gives them enough TV time overall to build strongly towards a future PPV.

If I were ROH and they have to stick to an hour long TV show I would work around the idea of having the year set up like this, First month, A TV taping, Two House shows then a mini strong Honor Club PPV like Manhatten Mayhem, that include bigger matches that help the PPV then second month a TV taping, Two House and then a PPV then repeat through the year.

Would this work?

It seems like a good general outline.
