Ring of Honor (ROH) is an American independent promotion. It was created in 2002 by Rob Feinstein. 2004 - 2011 it was owned by Cary Silkin. It is now owned by Sinclair Broadcasting Group. ROH usually holds several shows each month, sometimes as many as six. Annual shows include the Anniversary Show(s), Death Before Dishonor, Survival of the Fittest, Glory by Honor, and Final Battle (the last show of the calendar year).
ROH has working relationships with New Japan Pro Wrestling and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre.
ROH records all their shows and sells them on DVD through their mail and online store. As such, Ring of Honor has developed a loyal fan base in the Northeast (where the shows are run) as well as around the country. Ring of Honor also broadcasts on The Fight Network to viewers in Canada and on TWC Fight! to viewers in Great Britain and Ireland. Select shows are broadcast as internet pay-per-views through Go Fight Live. They can be seen on Sinclair owned tv stations across the U.S.
ROH is considered by many to be the most well known independent promotion in the world.
ROH appears in the 2008 film The Wrestler, where it promotes the final bout of the film between Randy "The Ram" Robinson (played by Mickey Rourke) and The Ayatollah (played by Ernest "The Cat" Miller). Several wrestlers, including Nigel McGuinness, Claudio Castagnoli and Bobby Dempsey appear on film during the ROH scenes. As of 2010, due to its national television show and presence on PPV, most wrestling fans regard ROH as the third most prominent professional wrestling promotion in the United States (behind WWE and TNA).
