There really is room for an alternative in professional wrestling...

They've run shows in New York, PA, NJ,Hartford, St. Paul, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, Dayton, Chicago, the UK and Japan. That's all within the past year. They're going to be running a show in Vegas soon, and are going to have a large present at Wrestlefest in san Fran coming up.

They have a ppv deal, a strong working relationship with NOAH (the 2nd biggest company in Japan right now), and Dragongate, and have also worked with AJPW in the past. Many ROH wrestlers are touring with NOAH as well. It pretty much has it's own farm league in FIP as well.

Say what you will about ROH, but I think you're going to have a hard time convincing people who actually know what they're talking about that ROH is "A local fed that has the smallest of footholds." It's not mainstream, but it's definitely risen above indy level, and like it or not, it is the number 3 company in America right now, both in reach, and in profit.
