Over the past several months, one of the chief complaints we have heard readers make about the Ring of Honor Supercard of Honor event is that they could only watch it live if they attended, especially since The Young Bucks were facing The Hardys. ROH management obviously heard those complaints as today they announced they would be airing the event live as an iPPV. Here are the complete details:
