— Earlier this week, Ring of Honor announced a new partnership with cable network HDNet to air a new weekly 1-hour show. Ring of Honor’s television show will feature original matches shot in HD, but will not feature the slick production and pyro seen with WWE and TNA. While ROH does not expect to make much money off the television show itself, its being seen as a promotional vehicle to push their Pay-Per-Views, live events and DVDs. HDNet is available in approximately 10 million homes ihe US. (Source: PWTorch.com)
