•Closing Commentary

We have now had multiple weeks of the new era of ROH TV. All “TV” tapings are now live for those with honorclub. The results are now shown in clip and replay form every week as ROH TV.

Before this happened, there were two main camps: 1) People who didn’t like that they could read spoilers for six weeks of TV at a time, and as a result were excited about this; 2) People who liked it the way it was and thought this was a bad idea.

I was in camp 1 before the change occurred, but this is because I thought that they would show the TV taping live on honorclub. Then Weekly TV would stay similar to the way it was presented before. I thought this would be the case because so few people have honorclub memberships. To me, the live on HC and watch weekly TV are two different types of fans.

The current way TV is happening is the worst of both worlds. The TV show is totally unimportant and should not be watched by almost anyone. It is literally just a clip show with one match. I can’t think of anyone who would like this format for a wrestling program.

If anyone from ROH is listening, don’t overthink this. Fans like me, and ones that read these recaps, are important, but we are not the only ones that watch weekly TV. This TV product is bad for diehard fans and casual fans alike.
