Wow, RoH has signed when a way past their prime band? Good for them. Maybe they can sign Tool in 10 years when they come out with a new lackluster album too.

Being a huge ROH fan, when I read this yesterday I was excited because now they actually have a theme song instead of just beats and sounds as the background of introduction vids/prematch hype vids. Good for ROH!

It's not Earth-shattering or anything, but it is another step in the right direction for ROH :y:

It'll help ROH if some big news media covered it, but its only going to be a blip on internet wrestling forums.

it is just another thing every promotion does as it builds its legitimacy.

Well ROH will go under in a year or two.

Remember the last wrestling promotion Corgan worked with?

Nah, the chances of ROH going down within the next two years are very slim. They're making smart decisions, and are gaining steam. I could see them going under within 5, but that's probably going to happen when they've expanded as far as they can. At that point, they'll probably try to make the leap to something bigger (ala cable tv, like ECW) and ultimately fail.

They are one step ahead of TNA, at least they have a proper band doing their music.

Not that I’d wish to ever doubt the pulling power of Macho Man rapping and that one time they got Fozzy to do a song so they could say, ‘Look Jericho is on TNA……sort off’

There’s no negative to this, so good promotion work on the side of TNA

Wow, really? I at least gave them credit for being around 10 years.

Another thing, Pumpkins aren't wrestling music. Pumpkins are sad, is in your dark room while writing bad poems about how sad you are music. You need butt rock about fightin' drinkin' and being angry, not Meloncholy and the Infinite Sadness.

I'm just saying they should have signed like Antherax.

Nah, ROH is all EMO-ey

ECW fit in with the hardcore rock. I imagine if ROH makes it big, they have Dashboard confessionals or some other lame band do their music.
