There's a sub 1% chance Destination America wants both RoH and TNA. This is amazing. Edit:

Forget about Paul Heyman, I would have done the job way cheaper and as of June 2015 in my 13 year TEW game, TNA is the number 1 promotion in the world. Oh the things we could have done together Dixie. We could have conquered the world.

Can't wait for the TNA Mecca meltdown when they realise that this isn't leading to a cross promotional feud. The petulant whining about refusing to watch the lead in, the out and out tantrums when ROH gets TNA's spot. It'll be glorious.

They likely aren't paying ROH the same that they'e paying TNA, because ROH isn't relying on it. This gets ROH more exposure and as far as I know, they aren't producing new content for this so it's not really any added production cost for them. So they wouldn't need the kind of money they are giving TNA while certainly being able to draw the same ratings if not better. If it turns out that this is going to be an entirely different show than what gets shown on Sinclair stations then I could be wrong about it being a cheaper option.

Sigma posted:Counterpoint: RoH looks like it is filmed at a strip mall. I watched the first couple weeks of TNA on DA and it's production was so bad it was basically ROH level. ROH has improved a lot since a year ago. I'd say they're about equal right now, unless TNA has improved since I stopped watching ages ago.

From this press release it definitely appeast to be just ROH TV simulcast on DA. Which is great, as DA will be prob happy with smaller ratings as they just have to buy the tapes to an already produced show and it'll give ROH some extra exposure. quote:Silver Spring, Md.) –Destination America announced today that it has signed a national broadcast deal with professional wrestling league RING OF HONOR, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., bringing one of the most respected wrestling organizations to the only network dedicated to all-American entertainment. Destination America is now the one-two-punch to professional wrestling, adding RING OF HONOR (ROH) to its line-up after launching IMPACT WRESTLING in early 2015. RING OF HONOR has been delivering top wrestling matches for ten years with captivating hard-hitting stars such as Jay & Mark Briscoe, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, The Young Bucks, Maria Kanellis, Adam Cole and Jay Lethal. Destination America will pack on the action beginning Wednesday June 3 with the series premiere of RING OF HONOR at 8/7c leading into brand new premieres of IMPACT WRESTLING at 9/8c.

Plus whatever DA is paying them might be the little jolt they need to beef up production. They don't need much, and Sinclair will still be covering the bulk of the costs I imagine.

How much does this really help ROH's distribution? I thought the entire reason everyone made fun of TNA moving to Destination America in the first place was that hardly anyone got the channel. Not that TNA getting completely screwed isn't hilarious, because that part's obviously great.

It's a major downgrade from Spike but it's a nice boost for a company currently relying on late night slots on a network of stations missing many major metro areas. http://rohwrestling.com/content/ROHTVListings

ROH is going from Sinclair networks to both Sinclair networks and Destination America. This is an improvement. TNA went from Spike TV to Destination America. This is a massive downgrade.

I thought the entire reason everyone made fun of TNA moving to Destination America in the first place was that hardly anyone got the channel. TNA going from Spike to Destination America was a major downgrade, since it has something like half the households Spike had, tops. For a company that lives and dies on its national show, it's a big problem. ROH has no national deals, and their exposure is just local stations picking up syndication. They're only adding, not replacing, and they're going from no national viewers to some national viewers. It's 100% an upgrade from their previous position, especially since they can take the DA money and put it into production without compromising any other aspects of the business.

This deal will give them a set time (in prime time no less) on a technically national network as opposed to random times on local affiliates.

ROH on DA as a leadin also exposes the product to TNA hardcores, who do exist and might make up a pretty significant percentage of the audience that followed them to the Alaska Cookout Ghost network.
