Damn.
Ring of Honor pay-per-views were recently pulled from airing in Canada because buys were practically non-existent. One of the major cable carriers only had three dozen (36) PPV buys for a recent show. In comparison, TNA has had as low as a few hundred PPV buys for their most recent shows. WWE and UFC are pretty much the only companies to do any PPV business in Canada these days.

From the newsboard.

I know it's only Canadia, but still.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

The ROH PPVs were apparently a higher price in Canada than they were in the States. Combine that with the little promotion the shows had, and that ROH does not really have a strong connection with Canada (they are yet to do a show there), and it's not really too surprising.

I mean, TNA aren't doing great in Canada, either.

I'm glad the PPVs have been pulled, though. It saves ROH the assumed expense of airing them when no one is watching. You've got to market your product, ROH. You've got you get the name out there before people will buy your PPVs, not vice versa.

I think if ROH was in canada for like a show or two each year they would do better there, but I think ROH should just concentrate on the states first.
