Ring of Honor may have been going bigger places if the pandemic didn’t hit…
Ring of Honor arguably took the most safe and strict precautions when the Covid-19 pandemic started in 2020, cancelling their live events and telivision tapings until they were able to contain their wrestlers in a bubble to resume their TV tapings in Baltimore, infront of no fans.
The pandemic may have cost them a potential TV deal according to Ring of Honor Wrestler PCO. Speaking on Sean Waltman’s Pro Wrestling 4 Life podcast, PCO said…
“It was really tough for Ring of Honor. We were one of the more secure companies as far as testing and (in the bubble). Not having fans and working in an empty arena of 5,000 seats with no one there has been super tough. We lost tons of steam and I think at one point we were supposed to go live against, not against, but with all the AEW events. We were supposed to be on Thursday or Friday nights. They had a deal going on with TV stations and when the pandemic hit, I feel like we were going for the (Stanley) Cup and now we’re starting back. It’s a tough go for the company, but it’s part of life. It doesn’t always go the way you think,”
