RING OF HONOR NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2016-02-27 13:42:00

Ring of Honor was very happy with last night's 14th Anniversary show, which is available for replay buys on your PPV channel (check local listings) as well as VOD buys on the FITE app and www.rohwrestling.com.

As we discussed earlier this week on the We Don't Need No Stinkin' Name Show in the PWInsider Elite section, Michael Elgin isn't expected to be the only ROH talent who signs a New Japan deal.  Elgin, who had a per date deal with ROH, signed with NJPW last week.  ROH was more than happy to have him sign that as they maintain access to him and can book him when he's not on the NJPW tours, plus it helps to strengthen their partnership with New Japan as NJPW builds up their roster following the departures of Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, etc..  There are other talents that NJPW could very well end up locked up by New Japan, which would mean that ROH has them for that length of time as well, but without paying out a full-time, exclusive contracted salary.

Last night's PPV was completely sold out.  There are still some tickets left for today's TV taping, which I'd recommend going to if you can as the lineup on paper is awesome.

Brian Kenrick, who appeared doing commentary last night, will be working today's TV taping.

Former TNA Knockout Traci Brooks was at the PPV last night visiting.
