It was reported in 2021 that Ring of Honor was going on hiatus, and most talents were released from their contracts, leaving many feeling the company may go under. However, on the March 2nd, 2022, episode of Dynamite, Tony Khan announced that he had purchased the company, saving it and seemingly getting set to take it to a new level. And now, almost a year on, Tony Khan has revealed via SI.com that the first set of official tapings will take place at the end of February and will air on WatchROH.com from March 2nd, 2023, which is almost a year to the day of the purchase announcement.
Ring of Honor TV is coming Thursday, March 2 on HonorClub. We’ll have our first tapings on Feb. 25 and 26 at Universal Studios in Orlando, and we’re going to put tickets on sale for the inaugural taping on Thursday. Those will be the first-ever tapings of the new Ring of Honor.
Tony KhanROH was founded by Rob Feinstein in 2001, with the since disgraced tape trader needing to find a product to sell following the closure of the original ECW. And he and his partners would start the new promotion as a “Super Indie” featuring the best young and unsigned talent in the world. Subsequently, over the following twenty-plus years, a who’s who of pro wrestling would call the promotion home, including CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Nigel McGuinness, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Adam Cole, The Young Bucks, and Cody Rhodes. With that history now preserved and set to be continued thanks to Tony Khan’s passion for the wrestling business.
