It looks like Ring Of Honor is finally getting with the times. As one of the only major wrestling promotions without a streaming service for their library and to air live events, fans were left paying somewhat ridiculous amounts to buy their PPVs. It seems that is about to change.

ROH COO Joe Koff said during a recent interview with CBS Sports Local & Chuck Carroll that ROH has a streaming service in the pipeline, and that fans should expect to see it in 2018.

“Yeah, we have an app coming out in the first quarter. It really became developmentally the right time to do it. We saw an opportunity. We had a long discussion about it. We looked at the business model and how it impacts our business. We just felt that this was the time to create our own Ring of Honor stream. … Well we might continue [PPVs on] both. I would like to migrate personally to stream model, because a lot of people are watching on those devices anyway. And the quality is so good. And you know a lot of those boxes are hooked up to big sets and smart TVs and stuff like that. I’m not ruling out traditional pay-per-views, but the world is going that way.”

This is good news for ROH and fans alike. And, hopefully, they will take notice of what other promotions are doing and not continue to charge insane prices for their shows.
