felt like there should be a new thread for ROH, they just had their first PPV (instead of ippv) Best In The World last night (22nd June) after going for over 10 years, I watched BITW and thought it was great, they are growing and I think it's well deserved
and for those who don't know, many current WWE and TNA stars were at ROH first, like CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, The Wolves just to name a few
so anyway, get talking about ROH
ROH is just TOO fast-paced for me. The endless high-spots and never selling of anything just does my head in. They have some very good talent, but very little charisma. I hope they succeed though- the 'biz' needs 'em.
ROH will return to Fight Network UK on May 6th(Wednesday) at 11pm
the results for death before dishonor PPV,
i though it a good PPV can start to see who they are building the new roh around, and did show just how many wrestlers Tony has signed to roh

a ppv of two halfs a slow forst half but some top matches in the 2nd half
In terms of Prestige, how prestigious are the ROH titles? Are they looked at as just as big stepping stone up to the likes of Impact/WWE/AEW as well as winning a New Japan title?
