It was announced 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.
Nevertheless, he has seemingly been struggling to get his new promotion, a television deal, due to how oversaturated the wrestling market currently is. Now though, he has announced at the Final Battle post-show media scrum that there will be a soft launch of their weekly show at WatchROH.com before a television deal is announced in January, which is excellent news for fans and wrestlers alike.
ROH 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.
