Ring Of Honor Launches Downloadable DVD Website

Ring of Honor Wrestling is happy to announce the launch of its very own Downloadable DVD Service at www.rohvideos.com. Featuring more than seventy out-of-stock titles from the eight year history of ROH, this service allows fans to finally purchase the events they may have missed their opportunity to buy when the DVDs were first released.

Here was the story of the head-to-head segments for the Impact on 3/8:
Segment one: Raw had the Undertaker/Michaels interview segment that did a 3.45. Impact had a Hogan promo building to the first Hogan & Abyss vs. Flair & Styles match with Sting making his surprise heel turn, which opened at 0.99.

Segment two: Raw had the womens match, Gail Kim & Eve Torres & Kelly Kelly vs. Alicia Fox & Katie Lea Burchill & Maryse, as well as a backstage segment with Criss Angel with Hornswoggle which lost 450,000 viewers. You would think they switched to Impact, which had the fallout of the Sting heel turn, him pushing Dixie Carter against the wall, Flair & Styles doing an interview, Abyss screaming and Kazarian, Daniels and Doug Williams arguing to set up a match. That lost 14,000 viewers.
Segment three: Raw had Big Show & Miz vs. John Morrison & R-Truth, and a John Cena interview and gained 187,000 viewers. Impact had Williams vs. Kazarian vs. Daniels and gained 28,000 viewers.

Segment four: Raw had Criss Angel with William Regal and Skip Sheffield, followed by the beginning of Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes, and lost 187,000 viewers. Impact had the three-way with Taylor Wilde & Sarita vs. Tara & Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky & Madison Rayne, a Pope promo and the Beautiful People celebration and gained 97,000 viewers to a 1.07, tying their show peak. This is one of only two segments of the show where there at least looks like there was a possibility of people switching.

Segment five: Raw had the end of Orton vs. DiBiase & Rhodes and a Batista interview and gained 372,000 viewers, which sounds good, but for top of the hour isnt much. Impact had Sting vs. RVD with the Hogan-Sting pull-apart and gained 0 viewers. They did stay at 1.07 but RVDs return at the top of the hour, when you would be expected to gain, and Sting, meant nothing.

Segment six: Raw had the HHH-Sheamus in-ring confrontation and Criss Angel doing his trick with the knives and Marella and gained 249,000 viewers in a part of the show that usually loses. Impact with Kevin Nash & Eric Young in the ring with Scott Hall & Sean Waltman, Young vs. Waltman and the Kurt Angle/Mr. Anderson segment lost 56,000 viewers.

Segment seven: Raw with Evan Bourne vs. William Regal and a WrestleMania video, Goldberg vs. Lesnar clip and a Hart-McMahon video package lost 441,000 viewers. Impact with Brooke begging Hulk not to wrestle and Jeff Jarrett fighting with James Storm lost 110,000 viewers.

Segment eight: Raw with the beginning of Cena vs. Vince (segments with Vladimir Kozlov, Drew McIntyre and the beginning of Jack Swagger) gained 506,000 viewers. Impact with Jeff Jarrett vs. Beer Money with Mick Foley as referee and Brooke Hogan begging Hulk not to wrestle lost 264,000 viewers to a 0.76 quarter, the lowest TNA has done in a long time. It is very possible a lot of TNA viewers switched to Raw at this point.

Segment nine: Raw with the rest of the Cena vs. Vince match, with Swagger, Mark Henry and Batista, gained 568,000 viewers to a 3.92 overrun. Impact with Hogan & Abyss vs. Flair & Styles and the Jeff Hardy run-in gained 347,000 viewers to a 1.01 overrun.

@TNAFutureofWrestling

Because TNA is supposed to be the ALTERNATIVE and BETTER than WWE and people want it to succeed.

[Adwap]

"abizmal failure?" I enjoyed iMpact on Monday. Great show.

[hambone9119]

tslayer you know the big bang was supposed the next wcw ppv after greed before wwe bought the promotion dont you?. just wondered if you knew this.

[LibreVisionNetwork]

I see, but I just really wish American promotions did advertise like they do in Mexico, cuz it might be eaiser for people 2 find out when a show & who coming to town, but well its up to the promotions & as far as Blue Demon goes since its personal taste, its fair enough.....

[TSlay1974]

You would be amazed at what a Flyers and small road signs can do to draw in people.

[TSlay1974]

Dude can draw no QUESTION I have seen it so you are right there. I just ment as far as wanting to see him wrestle not so much.

[LibreVisionNetwork]

well I suposse that part is understanable, but I meant, How 2 advertise?, like: TV commercials, freeway billboards signs, Internet ads & etc., cuz great indy wrestling & critics like U guys are like that Chinese Q "If a tree limb fell but nobody saw it fall, did it make noise ?"

[dadirrtywhyteboi]

well they need to have characters/angles that appeal to every demographic i mean its easier said than done but if you have your main angle which every demographic can relate too but undercard angles that are target towards specific demographics(mainly minorities) you should have a very successful product

[LibreVisionNetwork]

Ty, but I mis-wrote parcially my first Q, I meant 2 what kind of TV demoghapic does it need 2 advertise & could can they do it better....

[LibreVisionNetwork]

finally 2 add the final point: why do ya think Mexico is gonna play a friendly soccer game before the world cup vs Iceland, In Charlotte !!!!!, Nature Boy country ?, makes ya think.....

[LibreVisionNetwork]

2# Blue Demon Jr. = Blah ???, come on T-slay !!!, I get that probably if wren't 4 his cash he'd never be NWA world champ, but the Fact is: 4 starters I'm even suprised the NWA is still in busniess before Demon became a financial partner & trust If Blue Demon did a house show tour on Bordertowns, He alone would draw 7,000 people at a minimum, besides why do ya think when a Lucha show came 2 Texas outdrew TNA Victory Road like U said on a previous video, he has a Legendary Legacy 2 carry.....

[dadirrtywhyteboi]

wrestling appeals to human nature they would need to have either a hot angle or a hot character to help get super exposure. ROH has the chance with them having a TV deal but they need to get on a better network as not many people have HDNET and some dont want to watch their wrestling online
