You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. Yes, Ring of Honor is a business like any other, but what they're trying to achieve is a gradual renissance, built on a different business model that's more of a throwback to the golden age. The days of "big events and big matches." When everything meant something. They are trying to bring back Pro-Wrestling. Will it work? Time will tell. Evolution is a slow process. It took thousands upon thousands of years for our species to become what it has. When they grow large enough and it's clear that their product appeals to a large enough group of people, then TV would be the next step. That could happen anywhere between 15 - 50 years, if there are no major snags along the way.

They're not "stuck" anywhere. TV is the component of the product, not the other way around. It's not as simple as just getting a timeslot for exposure. Once you're in the television business, it's **** blitzkrieg. You have to deal with the network, advertisers, keeping your programming afloat, etc. At this juncture, RoH is nowhere near ready for that, just as ECW wasn't.  As long as they keep selling DVD's and drawing in more fans (which attendance numbers indicate is happening), they'll continue to grow.

*sigh*......

Mike Awesome - Perhaps one of the most overlooked superstars of the late 90's, early 00's. Awesome wasn't the single greatest big man worker of all time, but he's certainly one of the top 10. If there's one thing Bruiser Brody didn't have on Mike Awesome, it was his amazing mobility for a man at 6'6, roughly the same height and size as Brody. Brody could move, but not like Awesome. That goes for pretty much almost any other hoss i can think of when compared to Awesome. Mostly known for his high profile feud with Masato Tanaka that spanned several years through 2 different promotions. They're intense, stiff, hard hitting brawls are still talked about by fans today. After much success in FMW, it was only logical that Awesome would try his luck in the states in a feud that was arguably spawned by FMW's mostly garbage wrestling style - ECW - where he would find even more success. He joined WCW during its last throes where he was mostly booked as a joke for no real reason. He would join WWE after the collapse of WCW, but found no success after being lost in the shuffle due to his inability to adapt to the WWE style. 1/24/65 - 2/17/07

1. Chris Hero - Quite possible the hottest heel in the business today.

2. Larry Sweeney - The only likeable heel character i can think of who can still maintain his status as a heel.

3. Edge - Good character. Has really come a long way with his promos.

"Is Larry Sweeney looking good tonight or what?!"

Alot of people might call this egomania. I call it lackofego-mania with a little insanity thrown into the mix. He's a mediocrity in every sense of the word and will go down in history as a mediocrity in ever sense of the word. And he clearly knows it.

And his match with Hogan wasn't that bad, but certainly nowhere near the 4 star zone.
