ROH   RING OF HONOR BRISTOL PA  SCORE - 0

IF you have been to this school tell us all you can about it.

ROH is a syndicate of promotions that runs a lot of shows.

But you can't learn properly at shows. You must go to school

REASONS FOR LOW SCORE:

POINTS DEDUCTED
- 100 points only 1 ring so you will have to wait.
- 50 points price is 900 for 1st month + $350 each month
       or over $ 8000 for 24 months
- 100 points because the trainer Delirious has no WWE or
  WCW experience
- 100 points because Delirious only trains 2 x per week

A REPORT IN NOVEMBER 2008 SUGGESTS THAT RING OF HONOR LOST ITS INVESTOR AND IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. THEY ARE STILL RUNNING SHOWS BUT SHOWS AND SCHOOL ARE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS

"ROH is financed by Cary Silken. Several years ago the decision was made to begin PPVs. The hope was it would grow the company, add fans, and revenue. It has not.

It has been suggested ROH needs TV. They do not unless they are paid to provide their show and at least break even. ROH had TV briefly in Philadelphia on WGTW-TV, paying for the time slot weekly, and canceled that deal after a few months. The TV was not helping them draw and was cutting into DVD sales. They had been warned going in that they would lose money, but too many see TV as a holy grail. It usually is not. It's usually just another expense.

ROH house shows are down in attendance, and several planned shows in Florida were cancelled then rescheduled to next year.

Only NYC & Chicago have really been drawing the crowds ROH needs and expects.

After last month's Philadephia show Silkin was close to shutting down ROH altogether. Too much money was being spent, and too little was coming in.

Other ROH Management convinced Silkin to keep the company running, and to let Gabe Saposky go, and in the process make changes beyond the booking alone.

Card budgets need to be cut. Towns need to be booked to run at a profit regardless of draw even if it means reducing pay to some talent or reeducing the number of wrestlers booked per show, particularly fly-ins.

Whether PPV will continue is unknown. I'd recommend no. ROH needs to focus on events and DVDs, and story telling, alnost go back to the beginning in some ways. Their press release suggested that direction.

The likely current booking plan is for ROH to use a committee. Exactly who may end up on the committee has not been announced. For this group, whoever they turn out to be, to be sucessful, they first need to meet with Cary Silkin and find out exactly what he wants. It is his money after all. They also need to figure out how to make decisions so they have one direction, not several.

If they plan to repackage ROH, I'd focus on NE dates and run fewer shows, and go to the mid-west only once every two-three months. I'd cancel any new market unless indications are good for ticket sales, and regardless I'd underbook the cards. I'd try to sell ROH Shows to buildings for a guaranteed fee.

There will be no quick fix, but if the bleeding can be stopped, Cary Silkin & ROH can survive.

ROH will be using a booking committee now

the new head of this committee is Adam Pearce. "
