So Ring Of Honor has been on Sinclair since September, and i havent watched yet. But I wam curious as to how you see this impact their future. I know one guy who says that if anything that ROH will fold because it will not be a burden onto someone who does not love wrestling like their previous owner.

What to you think?

If something isn't a burden, that means it isn't a problem.

Who's this guy? They've been improving production and Sinclair has no problems cutting them. It's basically like their HDNet deal with slightly more exposure..at this point they're waiting to see if more syndicates will pick them up and the stations they're on will give them better times slots.

Silken is still involved with the company, by the way.

I think that this was the right move to get ROH viewed by a wider fanbase. Silken took it as far as he could and now with more money behind it Sinclair can take it to the next level. As long as Sinclair take their time and don't try to book 5,000 seat arenas then they will succeed. They need to gradually get it into more tv markets so that fans can watch it on television rather than online. Keep the focus on an excellent inring product and finally there will be a real alternative to WWE.
