The peak attendance for the live crowd was around 900. But, it has also been reported that ROH was essentially giving out tickets for the event.<\/li>\n<li>These numbers mean that over June-September (a three month period) ROH\u2019s PPV buyrate has dropped by over 77%. A 77% drop in any key metric over the same time frame would almost certainly result in the ousting of senior leadership at any publicly traded company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Live Event Results<\/h3>\n<p>There were no live events this week.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Upcoming Major Show(s)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>ROH Glory by Honor XVII<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>10\/12\/19<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, LA<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PCO vs. Dalton Castle (Semifinal #1 contender tournament match)<\/li>\n<li>Marty Scurll vs. Jay Lethal (Semifinal #1 contender tournament match)<\/li>\n<li>Finals of the #1 contender tournament<\/li>\n<li>Alex Shelly vs. Jonathan Gresham<\/li>\n<li>The Briscoes vs. Luke Hawx and PJ Hawx<\/li>\n<li>A large Battle royal to face Rush for the ROH Championship<\/li>\n<li>Rush (c) vs. Battle Royal winner for the ROH World Championship<\/li>\n<li>Angelina Love (c) vs. Kelly Klein for the WOH World Title<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Upcoming Events<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Glory by Honor XVII (PPV) 10\/12\/19<\/li>\n<li>ROH Honor United (Live Event) 10\/25\/19 in London, UK at York Hall<\/li>\n<li>ROH Honor United (Live Event) 10\/26\/19 in Newport, UK at The Newport Centre<\/li>\n<li>ROH Honor United (Live Event) 10\/27\/19 in Bolton, UK at the Bolton Whites Hotel UK<\/li>\n<li>ROH The Experience (Honorclub Event) 11\/2\/19 in Pittsburgh, PA at Stage AE<\/li>\n<li>ROH Unauthorized (Honorclub Event) 11\/3\/19 in Columbus, OH at Express Live<\/li>\n<li>ROH Survival of the Fittest (Honorclub Event) 11\/9\/19 in Dallas, TX at Gilley\u2019s Dallas<\/li>\n<li>ROH Survival of the Fittest (Honorclub Event) 11\/10\/19 in San Antonio, TX at The Aztec Theatre<\/li>\n<li>ROH Final Battle (PPV) 12\/13\/19 in Baltimore, MD at the UMBC Event Center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All current live events are located on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/live\/upcoming-shows\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rohwrestling.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Latest TV Highlights: 10\/5\/19 ROH Wrestling<\/h3>\n<p><strong>ROH TV Results<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>October 5th, 2019<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Villa Park, IL at Odeum Expo<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Airing on Sinclair Networks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/\"><b>rohwrestling.com<\/b><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rush defeated Barbaro Cavernario<\/li>\n<li>Caristico, Stuka Jr., and Volador Jr. defeated Rey Bucanero, Okumura, Hechicero<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out the full detailed recap by Jason Powell at <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2019\/10\/08\/roh-wrestling-tv-results-powells-review-of-rush-vs-barbaro-cavernario-caristico-stuka-jr-and-volador-jr-vs-rey-bucanero-okumura-hechicero-lucha-libre-special\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prowrestling.net<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Social Media Scene<\/h3>\n<p>Pretty cool for ol\u2019 Vinny.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheHorrorKingVM\/status\/1181992142853554176<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3661069978\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>These are cool.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/WaaTarou\/status\/1181904269743509506<\/p>\n<p>LOL, too little too late on that.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/MartyScurll\/status\/1181933475722600448<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\u2022Closing Commentary<\/h3>\n<p>ROH is a complete and utter disaster right now. No one looking with an ounce of common sense could see the current product, booking, financials (PPV buys and attendance), and current TV presentation otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to defend ROH in this moment, then you are also part of the problem. I personally would rather watch (in no particular order):<\/p>\n<p>AEW<br \/>\nNJPW<br \/>\nGCW<br \/>\nStardom<br \/>\nShimmer<br \/>\nAJPW<br \/>\nNOAH<br \/>\nNWA<br \/>\nWWE<br \/>\nNXT<br \/>\nImpact<br \/>\nRockstar Pro (local promotion in Dayton, Ohio)<\/p>\n<p>Before I watch even one second of ROH\u2019s product. This is a huge issue. Pro Wrestling is undergoing a literal renaissance at the moment. ROH is quickly and decisively becoming totally irrelevant. Smart people in the business are running not walking away from this brand. I fear at this point even a total rebuild may not save ROH. We may be in the final days of relevance for a once beloved source of wrestling.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-549002481\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Tyler has been a wrestling fan for 20 years.
