Ring of Honor (ROH) is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Jacksonville, Florida. The promotion was founded by Rob Feinstein on February 23, 2002, and was operated by Cary Silkin from 2004 until 2011, when the promotion was sold to the Sinclair Broadcast Group.[1][2][3][4]
Throughout the 2010s, ROH was considered the third largest wrestling promotion in the United States, behind WWE and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, initially operating largely on an internet distribution model.[5][6][7] Under Sinclair's ownership, ROH began talent-sharing deals with wrestling companies outside the U.S., expanded their television visibility through Sinclair's broadcast stations, and eventually established its own streaming service in 2018 called Honor Club.[8][9][10] In the late 2010s, ROH was struggling with debt from Sinclair Broadcast TV deal, eventually temporarily ceasing operations in late 2021.[11][12][13] After a deal was struck in March 2022, ROH was officially sold to AEW founder, co-owner, president and CEO Tony Khan two months later and since operates as its sister promotion.[14][15][16]
