SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Ring of Honor announced the “imminent launch” of its new streaming service today. Prices range from $9.99 a month to $99 for a year not including live PPVs, or $119 for a full year with access to their live PPVs included. Initially, the service will be available only on computers, phones, and tablets, with a limited rollout to select fans of their apps on Android, iOS, Roku, Apple TV, and Android.
The service will include live event streaming and archived access to those live events on a regular basis, plus an on-demand vault with historical events, compilations, interviews, and more.
Keller’s Analysis: This is a tremendous service to fans of ROH and opens up a whole new market for fans who haven’t been following ROH because they lacked access to a standard TV clearance and didn’t get into the product as a result. The pricing is right where the marketplace expects it to be, and the inclusion of major live PPVs for just an additional $20 ($119 instead of $99) is a no-brainer except for fans who want to experience live PPVs on a traditional TV set-up and are waiting for the TV streaming app to become available to everyone. Although Impact Wrestling launched a Global Wrestling Network, ROH’s fanbase and general passion among its fanbase is considerably stronger than Impact’s at this stage. Although there aren’t comparable metrics, at some point since TNA Impact Wrestling left Spike TV and ROH continued to stabilize itself with the Sinclair partnership and New Japan relationship, ROH easily became the no. 2 pro wrestling company based in North America, behind only WWE – although by a big distance.
