Will Hardyz vs. Young Bucks at Supercard of Honor be for the live crowd only? Or will it be available on TV/VOD at some point?

ROH announced Best In the World will be in Lowell this year.

I should just buy balcony seats so I can get a free upgrade when no one's down in the parquet again for the TV tapings

The indy wrestling Monday Night Wars are taking off that Saturday night, as Evolve & Beyond are running the Boston area the same night. Is that the first time they've gone head to head with Evolve that close outside of Wrestlemanias?

Got tickets to the Toronto War of the Worlds show. It's a Sunday so I assume it's a tv taping. Either way hopefully I get to see some awesome NJPW guys. I'll have to start watching some ROH to see who I need to pay attention to, outside of my main man Dalton Castle and Will Ospreay

I'm going too! I haven't been to ROH since 2010, the show in Mississauga where there were border issues or something and there was a big ~*~ MYSTERY PARTNER ~*~ that turned out to be Adam Pearce lmao

John Skylar is good. Chris LeRusso has worked a bunch of shows for them before and he's a pretty capable worker from what I've seen but lacks charisma. Woods was in NXT for a while. I know nothing about the other people.

Preston Quinn would have been a cool move a decade ago when he was an internet darling on places like The Other Arena and DVDVR, now it's just odd. I hope it works out for him, though, he is really solid.

John Skyler is definitely good news, he's been the best homegrown guy from PWX I've seen, although I also like Colby Corino, Corey Hollis and Darius Lockhart.

Going back through 2007 ROH events because I wanted to see Steenerico stuff and the debut of Age of the Fall again, a full head of hair no mullet having Elgin just showed up to lose to Jimmy loving Rave. He is absolutely unrecognizable.

SBG has always viewed ROH as cheaper in-house programming for the stations they owned. It took them 3 years to make the necessary production upgrades so they didn't look low-rent on PPV. I think I read somewhere that the combined affiliate numbers for ROH were always relatively decent, so no reason to mess with it, in their minds.
