Theoretically, YouTube (just an example) could bring more views than HDNet.

ROH wants to be different. They have a very strong fan base online. They have the chance to help revolutionize internet video, much as wrestling helped cable in its early days.

If Heyman was around today in a prominent position I think ECW would thrive really well as an online-only promotion. No one's there to screw you in terms of what you can show and you'll never be thrown off or given a shitty time slot.

The big problem is that it's still in its infancy and people haven't figured out how to make decent money online and assume that the only money to be made is on TV. In about twenty years the concept of cable/satellite TV will be long forgotten.

I just think that ROH is missing a huge opportunity here.
