MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
The company is set to reveal something major...
- ROH is reportedly set to make a huge announcement this week. The report says that the reveal will "move the company forward in a major way" and that a lot of talent backstage has been talking about the announcement.
This announcement has nothing to do with their May 10th and May 17th shows with New Japan Pro Wrestling.

What could it be? National TV somehow?

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
It'd almost have to be a bigger tv deal right? And lots of good news coming out of ROH lately!
Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
You think they'd announce that before testing the streams though? Doesn't really make sense although I'd be fucking hyped. I hate watching wrestling after I already know the results.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
That would be a huge letdown and I highly doubt it. Going back to iPPV isn't "moving the company forward in a major way", they've already done it. I'm going to say national TV too, or if not that, an actual live PPV deal.Marketh. wrote:I'll assume a regular Ustream deal.

No idea as to what it could be...

Not like they've built it up much. It's only a PWInsider article.The Dragon Saga wrote:That would be a huge letdown and I highly doubt it.

TV deal w/ Fuse, MTV2, or AXSTV?
Put it on fuckin' C-SPAN. Somewhere that most if not a lot of people can see it on TV.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
Live PPV wouldn't be a good idea IMO. It would cost too much and they wouldn't make enough money doing it.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
Thing is though, if a big announcement was coming, I'm sure Court Bauer would have teased something by now, which when I look at his Twitter, I don't think he has.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
How about just a regular time, in every market, every week, at a normal time? Not really a "major announcement" but I think would be a good step. If it's a national TV deal that would be great. I could see it being on the CW. SBG owns a number of CW affiliates, so they could keep it somewhat internal. Plus, the CW used to carry Smackdown.
Would they dare doing live TV? I kind of hope not, seeing as where that got TNA.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
Or maybe it's not TV/production related at all. International touring, CM Punk return, could really be anything.
Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
To all the people saying it can't be a big announcement because it hasn't been hyped. Court was the only one who mentioned the big announcement deal with UStream before it happened. He's the only one that hyped it.
ROH and PWInsider work hand in hand. ROH has ads on their site, etc. I don't think they'd report something if nothing was going to happen. PWInsider is legit.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
They don't need to hype it, especially if it's as big as Johnson says it is. We all know he knows people in ROH, if he says it's something that'll "move the company forward in a major way", I trust the dude that it's something big.Marketh. wrote:Not like they've built it up much.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
I don't doubt PWInsider when they say there's announcement, but I'm not getting my hopes up when they say it's to the scale they've hyped up because, as you said, they have a relationship with ROH. If it turns out to be legit and can move the company forward, I'll get excited. If it's nothing special, meh, I didn't invest much emotion anyway.ROHFan25 wrote:To all the people saying it can't be a big announcement because it hasn't been hyped.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
So you're saying you would still be let down even if ROH haven't hyped it themselves yet, just because Mike Johnson said it was big?The Dragon Saga wrote:They don't need to hype it, especially if it's as big as Johnson says it is.

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
So little can let me down right now when it comes to ROH and all they've done in recent months, what I am saying is, if Johnson says it's big, I think It'll deliver, whether they hype it or don't hype it, I rarely get my hopes up anyway.Marketh. wrote: So you're saying you would still be let down even if ROH haven't hyped it themselves yet, just because Mike Johnson said it was big?

@courtbauer 14m
There's going to be a sick announcement coming up soon from @RingofHonor. OMFG!!!
Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING
The company really feels like it finally has legit momentum. For the first time in over two years ... I feel something legitimately big could happen for them. Call me crazy ...
