Tim Evans Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Dueling chants weren't bad. I mean there were some but they weren't constant. Most of the Dueling chants were "Lets go ROH" "Lets go Dragon Gate". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjh Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I thought this news story from Dave Meltzer fitted the topic of this thread: --Friday night's ROH show will be the final PPV at least for the time being, as they are not going to renew their contract with G-Funk, which expires with the next show.

Cox Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 That's probably for the best anyway, with their TV taping schedule (they tape six weeks of TV at once) and the weird "alternate universe" quality of the PPVs as it is, I can only imagine the PPVs were wreaking havoc on how they planned shows. Until they're either doing live TV (and I'm certainly not suggesting that) or at least doing fewer weeks of TV tapings at once, they are probably better off shelving the PPVs.

kjh Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I suppose it makes sense from the perspective that they went on PPV to increase their exposure and now that they've got TV they don't need the exposure being on PPV gave them. That said, TV is a much better vehicle for selling PPVs than DVDs, so the fact that their giving up on PPV for the moment is not a positive sign and it's a black mark on Adam Pearce as booker that PPV business has declined so much that it's no longer a viable revenue stream.

Tawren Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ehhh...I really doubt they ever made money off the PPVs in the first place. I don't think ROH has expanded its market presence at all in the last couple of years since they started doing those, in fact I'd put money they've lost ground. Did Meltzer ever report their PPV numbers? Obviously since they've stopped doing them they weren't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHawk Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I know the PPV numbers in Canada weren't being reported because there weren't enough buys, and I work for Dish Network and can't say I ever took an order for an ROH PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 There was one PPV where both Canada and Dish each drew low 2 figure buys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
