ROH in NJ?

grcenter47 · Post by **grcenter47** » Thu Apr 02, 2015 11:48 pm

I haven't followed ROH in a while because I was pursuing my master's degree and just started getting back into it as of the start of the new year. I was wondering why Ring of Honor stopped coming to NJ. They used to come all the time in Edison and I believe the last show they did in NJ was in Rahway. Are the venues they have been going to lately the only ones they only visit?

Do you get the TV show in New Jersey? It seems like they are focusing on TV markets and the traditional big cities like Chicago and New York.

Unfortunately we don't.

we don't get it in NJ unfortunately. The only way I keep track of it is through the ROH site, youtube, messageboards, magazines, and buying the DVDs haha

NJ is strange because ROH didnt draw as well as I would expect it to.

The Rahway Rec Center is a building that draws. I'd like to see them return there but I'm not holding my breath.

Sadly the Inman sports club didn't draw after a while. Last two shows there were awful. Boiling point would've drawn more if the went through with KENTA vs Strong. But that was when he got injured. I feel the rexplex in Elizabeth drew better than the Rec center. It drew really well because because it's not far from NYC also. I would rather have shows run around secacus because it's right by the city.

Plus management was getting pissed because a few times damage happened at the venue, and the angle when the hangman 3 attacked Albright and the cops came.

well when they ran the Rexplex,they werent running NYC so im sure that was a big part of the draw.

it was sad to see the inman club go from being packed (Id say 1000 or so) for final battle 2005 to less than 400 for their last show there.

I forgot which show it was but the last one I went to at Inman Sports Club where Strong wrestled Butcher the crowd was silent

The crowd slowly started falling fast after ring of homicide. Mostly because it became more known and the casual fans were walking in, instead of the hardcore fan base of wrestling. Edison drew when that czw angle went down, mainly because of being able to get there easy from philly.

It's tough to compare a show with Danielson vs. Marufuji & Low Ki vs. KENTA against a show with a last minute lineup change and zero title matches.

It is somewhat tough but later shows during the milestone series actually drew even better than that loaded Final Battle.

The Rahway Rec Center is located very close to a train stop, super easy coming out of NYC.

the rec center is half a block from the train station. and rexplex was a nice half hour drive from ny. both had good reasons why they drew well. but idk, its odd but the only company that draws in the rec center is JAPW.

PWS draws an easy 1,000 each show.

Pws does draw well there because of its massive outside talent. If I'm correct ROH didn't draw the numbers it should have.

ROH should be able to hit 1,000 fans in that venue. I know the last show in 2012 didn't draw so hot but I can't see that same turnout three years later.

I partly agree, I don't recall the show being advertised well. Plus the product wasn't booked well around that time anyways. We had the death of

. I feel ROH ends ir begins era accidentally in NJ for some reason. Milestone series started in Edison, homicides first title defense, Nigel's epic title win, gabes last show with ROH, and most recently cornette leaving. NJ has a rich history and really needs to come back. I wish they'd run asbury park during the summer tbh
