Ring Of Honor
The Ring of Honor (ROH) is an independent professional wrestling promotion created in 2001.
Unlike World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which mostly focuses on physical appearance, microphone skills, gimmicks, and characters, Ring of Honor showcases technical matches with smaller but very skilled performers.
Matches tend to be longer than those of larger promotions, and focus on the athletic abilities of the wrestlers.
Ring of Honor has developed a loyal fan base in the Northeast and around the country.

ROH are also involved in talent trading with a major promotion in the UK, Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) gaining superstars like Doug Williams and Jonny Storm they are also involved in cross-promotional shows like Frontiers of Honor.
International wrestling superstars such as Keiji Mutoh, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Kaz Hayashi, Eddie Guerrero and 2 Cold Scorpio have also made appearances in ROH at one point or another.
Unfortunately WWE seems to be hellbent on discrediting the RoH roster. Kurt Angle has recently squashed Matt Stryker on SmackDown. Jimmy Rave and then Pure wrestling Champion John Walters were destroyed by Chris Masters. And C.M Punk lost in a tag to Maven and Simon Dean. These antics have appaled the loyal RoH following.
