What Is ROH, And Does WWE Own it as well?

R.O.H. stands for Ring Of Honour. Its an Independent fed that was created in 2002.

WWE doesn't have anything too do with it.

What Is ROH, And Does WWE Own it as well?

It's really spelled "Ring Of Honor", but like ianhbk said, it's one of the most popular Independent promotions founded by Rob Feinstein in 2002, but Cary Silkin owns it now. ROH has some shows named Anniversary Show, Death Before Dishonor, Survival of the Fittest, Glory By Honor, and Final Battle. Some of the names that have worked for ROH are Samoa Joe, CM Punk, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Tony Mamaluke, Raven, etc...

If you're looking for a promotion that involves more wrestling, then I would watch "ROH". You won't be dissappointed. Samoa Joe and CM Punk had a 5 star match in ROH, which was the first 5 star rated match in the USA since 1997, but the match occured in 2004.

Its not shown in the USA in that many areas either. I don't know if its because they don't want a tv deal or networks don't want to pick up their promotion, but they've had alot of good matches atleast the ones i've seen. I went to one of their "house shows" and I thought the wrestling was great. They do have some long matches, if thats what you want to see. Many matches have lasted over 60 minutes including the one that I mentioned in my previous post the "CM Punk vs Samoa Joe" match. If you do get into ROH, you'll be able to see what some of the talent in WWE used to do. Some of the talent wrestles different, than they did in ROH, but that comes along with gimmicks, wrestling promotions, etc... I suggest you check out "Bryan Danielson", if you never heard of him. If you like the Kurt Angle/Chris Benoit style with mat based moves, technical moves, submissions, etc... then like I said check out Bryan Danielson, because he wrestles similar to them.

How do wrestler take a fall from the turnbuckle right down onto their testicles? I have always wondered how they do this, is there a trick to it or do they just man up and take the pain. I know they don't wear cups because I read once where Lance Storm explained that would be dangerous.

I doubt anyone can give you an answer to this.. You'd have to ask a wrestler himself.. But the one time.. Back in the day when the WWF Magazine was around.. It asked HBK (since he was the one who took the most bumps like that) how they did that.. He said theres no way.. It actually hurts.. So thats my guess.. Either that or they have there you kno in like a different position but thats a whole different story.. I always thot they wore a cup?

They usually cushon the fall by grabbing the ropes at the last second, but i'm in no doubt that they still land on their balls.

Yeah I posted it here because I thought maybe a trained wrestler would happen to look and be able to tell me. No they don't wear cups, you can go to Stormwrestling.com and look for the Q & A where he says that, I went to find it but he doesn't have a search option and the archive goes all the way back to 2004.

Edit: It is amazing what a few google searches can do (From Stormwrestling.com, Lance Storms site.

Q: A lot of wrestlers wear knee and wrist protection, but do wrestlers wear cups? I just watched one of my old ECW tapes and saw you and Credible with the cinderblock on Dreamer's junk.....ouch.
A: So many people ask this question and the answer in no we do not wear cup. If we wore a cup and took a hard bump face down we could drive the damn thing through our pelvis.

Can anybody sugest any good Straight Shootin' DVD's other than Jim Cornette one's?

"Straight Shootin' with CM Punk and Samoe Joe" is the best Straight Shootin' of the series. The Punk/Cabana one is pretty interesting if you are into them and their beginnings, but Punk/Joe is more ROH oriented. Both of them are awesome though.

If anyone has some information regarding us to help us out and get our professional career underway. If anyone has a website or phone number or something, i would greatly appreciate it.

 

[Draman27]

Ring of Honor is a promotion, that actually has wrestling...you won't recognize any of the wrestlers at first...from 07 atleast, but you get used to them. IMO it's better than WWE/TNA
