After humble beginnings, Ring Of Honor Wrestling quickly escalated into what many people believe to be the best wrestling promotion alive today. Breeding their own young crop of talent, and focusing on the in-ring work more-so then the glitz and glamour that other major companies such as the WWE focus on, ROH is the definition of Indy Wrestling.
When ECW went out of business, RF Video (a wrestling video distribution company) needed a promotion that could fill the huge void. ROH was established and, following ECW's footsteps, it offered a fresh new look on the pro-wrestling scene. It's first ever show, titled 'The Era Of Honor Begins', in 2002 became an instant classic, and some of the matches featured at the event will be remembered by wrestling fans forever.
Some of the biggest names in wrestling today were brought up in ROH. Guys like CM Punk, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels (aka Curry Man) all have roots leading back to the early days of ROH. And despite the fact that some of the bigger names have moved on to other promotions, ROH continues to breed their own talent. Guys like Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, and Tyler Black now grace the red and black ring, and are regarded as some of the best entertainers in the world.
So finally, after five years since it's inaugural debut, ROH will make it's Canadian debut when it hits Toronto on July 25th. The main event will feature the current reigning ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness defending against Canadian favorite Kevin Steen. A second show is planned for Montreal on November 5th. Both shows promise to be slobberknockers.
ROH Wrestling is regarded by many people to be the best pro-wrestling company going on today, and it will just be a matter of time until ROH will be able to challenge WWE and TNA. History will be made when ROH finally comes to Canada. Don't miss out.
