Well this is fairly old news and only really concerns Flyers, Steala and Somar but ROH has now got a 1 hour TV deal with the station HDnet. They've taped 6 one hour episodes so far and the show's write-ups are pretty good and feature 30 minutes of wrestling. 30 minutes of wrestling is a fairly decent amount of time on a time for a one hour show. It's actually more than you get on TNA Impact which is two hours!!! Sadly there don't seem to be any plans for a UK TV deal yet, but I think Bravo should try and sign it and put it on prior to Impact, though that would piss off TNA no doubt. I think I'm going to try and watch the episodes on the internet. It seems like it will be like TNA Impact when they used to broadcast a one hour show online and put on great long matches with the likes of Daniels and Skipper. Also with TNA no longer being a wrasslin' show and becoming Sports Entertainment there is a real niche market for ROH. In fact they should say "ROH- WE are wrestling!" The only bad news is that Bryan Danielson and therefore Sara Del Ray also will no longer be able to use Europe's 'Final Countdown' as their theme songs.

I'd love to watch it, but I have no idea what "HDnet" is.

So ROH's first show aired yesterday on HD.net. I just managed to find it on Dailymotion and thought it was pretty good. They had some problems with this being their first TV show such as the crowd not being mic'd propely so they were very quiet and the fact their new play by play guy is a moron. He sounds like he's on a Smackdown game. Also he seems to have a catchphrase of "That hurts!" which for me is up there with "DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!" as catchphrase of the year. Anyway yeah it was pretty good and I got to see wrestlers like Tyler Black and Delarious wrestle at last after hearing a lot about them and it was good to see Jerry Lynn back on TV. Also Jimmy Jacobs is god. I saw some of his comedy stuff with Lacey on Youtube and the guy is awesome. Anyway here are some links to the show if you want to watch it.
