The final score: review Not So Good

The 411

The biggest issue with ROH TV isn’t that it feels dated and lazy, which is of course and issue, it’s the fact that there are two shows left until Final Battle and they have basically ignored it. There’s no card rundown. No hype to buy that show, which is still a PPV and something that they should be doing everything to promote and hype so that they can,.. oh I don’t know, make people interested and spend money on that event. The company’s profile may be at an all time low, as Final Battle used to go on sale and sell 1,000 tickets almost right away, but as of this writing, have sold under 500 tickets. The TV show doesn’t do anything to advance the product or make people interested in it.
