ROH News: ROH sign international syndication deal

WorldScreen.com is reporting that Opus Distribution has secured the international syndication rights for the new ROH television show. Joe Koff, COO of ROH is quoted in the article as saying, "ROH wrestling has no language barriers, and we are expecting to see growth internationally. In brokering this deal with Ken DuBow [President of Opus], we’ve accelerated that plan and are glad to have someone so experienced to bring ROH to the rest of the world."

Shore's Slant: Good move here for ROH if Opus can get this into the right markets. The ROH style is different from the WWE style in a lot of ways, and there will be some adjustment for fans. But it is very close to the Japanese style. And seeing as how many of the ROH roster has worked, and continue to work, in Japan, there is a huge international fan base ready to accept ROH.
