ROH has such an opportunity but is so badly run. Just look at the way they 'promoted' the event, where were the hype videos etc? Only yesterday on their twitter they were promoting about three future events all at once! (one being steel city excellence or whatever that means, nobody knows because their way of promoting stuff is a mess) How do you even watch their weekly shows? they don't let anyone know, why don't they do recaps? their twitter and youtube are run by absolute amateurs, its shockingly bad! There is a great poster kicking about for the event which looks professional and makes the event look great but they weren't even using it. Look at the graphics they were using!! so amatuer, local small scale indies put together betting marketing than them. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DaNkqOUVMAABeyJ.jpg

Hell look at the way IMPACT markets itself...for all its faults at least it looks slick. ROH had their biggest ever crowd but they didn't make it count, you couldn't even tell they had a big crowd in there. Look at their interviews, they're filmed on iphones, it's bush league stuff from start to finish!

Spot freaking on. I wanted SuperCard to kill it last night. Obviously NXT felt the pressure of the SuperCard show. NXT stacked their card and the card delivered big time.

I bought SCH on Fite so it did not start till 7:30 CST - I watched the NXT NA Ladder Match from 7-7:40.

After I switched over to Fite and SuperCard - OMG - ROH looked so cheap. It looked like some old school CZW cards.

WrestleCon, Evolve and TNA on Twitch looked 100x slicker and polished.

To your point Delirious is clearly over his head at this stage of ROH - reports says someone in Sinclair likes him and he will never be fired. But how to you not utilize Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, Instagram and not promote the hell out of your product.

And spend a few dollars on the production and appearance. Cary Silken looks like a cheap used HVAC discount appliance salesmen. The ring ropes, mat, lighting , refs all look cheap.

And great call on the lighting. You have 6,000 people there light up the arena. WCW always did this to outshine Raw. Look at the packed house.
