I just got this press release. I must say, I’m somewhat surprised. Even though ROH has had trouble producing a problem-free internet pay-per-view broadcast for years now even though they’re owned by a huge broadcasting company, this still isn’t a step I expected them to take with the traditional pay-per-view business already being crowded and numbers for wrestling mostly falling. Then again, with WWE taking what were all of its PPV’s to its own network for $10 a month, maybe this is as good a time as any to give it a try since wrestling fans suddenly have lots more money freed up.
