Independent wrestling promotion Ring of Honor recently announced they will begin to air ROH events on Pay-Per-View starting on July 1st. The events will not be traditional 3-hour live PPV shows. Instead, ROH will hold bi-monthly PPV tapings and the events will be available on PPV on-demand for 2 months. The events will be 2 hours long and will cost approximately $10.
Ring of Honor’s first PPV event, “Respect Is Earned”, was taped this past weekend at the Manhattan Center in New York City. It will be available to order on-demand from your local cable starting July 1st. Here is the card for the Ring of Honor: Respect Is Earned PPV – Takeshi Morishima vs. BJ Whiter for the ROH Title, Naomichi Marufji vs. Rocky Romero, Roderick Strong vs. Delirious, The Briscoe Brothers vs. Claudio Castagnoli & Matt Sydal for the ROH Tag Team Titles, Takeshi Morishima & Bryan Danielson vs. KENTA & Nigel McGuinness.
Morale in ROH is very high right now following the PPV taping. The feeling backstage is that the PPV taping went well and that the wrestlers stepped it up.
Ring of Honor is set to tape their second PPV in Chicago Ridge, IL on Saturday, June 23rd. Confirmed matches for the show include Bryan Danielson vs. KENTA and ROH Tag Team champions The Briscoes vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico.
ROH champion Takeshi Morishima, Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, Rocky Romero, Naomichi Marufuji, Matt Cross, Erick Stevens, Delirious, Brent Albright, BJ Whitmer, Adam Pearce, Shane Hagadorn, Chris Hero, Larry Sweeney, Tank Toland, Jimmy Rave, Matt Sydal, Nigel McGuinness, Claudio Castagnoli, Jimmy Jacobs and Lacey will all be appearing on the show as well.
