.RingofHonor's COO Joe Koff talks the promotion's place in wrestling, Death Before Dishonor and more
Note: This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length.Amidst the changing landscape, Ring of Honor announced some major changes to HonorClub. Can you talk about those decisions?
We have to add in The Briscoes in that group. They are part of the DNA of the company. They are part of the fabric of the company, so their presence leaves a footprint and their footprints are for others to follow to take on that legacy and have that responsibility to lead the promotion and the locker room. It's the responsibility to excel in what they do.
Not to say that the other matches aren't, but you never know which one will break out. The world championship match will stand by itself, but we're talking about the matches beyond that. Talent will speak to that. And the reason you see a slower growth is because we have high standards for our talent. There's a lot of women's wrestling and good women's wrestling. To be a wrestler right now is an excellent time. To be a fan is an excellent time. The business right now, it's a cyclical business. If you've followed wrestling before, you've seen these cycles before. Maintaining, staying focused keeps you in the game to keep playing and playing on.
It's a little too early. We just acquired them so assimilation takes time, but there have been conversations. I know people at the RSNs have asked about Ring of Honor. They are familiar with Ring of Honor, and I'm sure they'd love to see it there. But it just takes a little time We'll get there, though.
Balance between having a partnership and being a little selfish with your promotion and the desire to go solo. What happens to those independent shows that used to draw a lot of people because they were able to bring in stars that weren't affiliated with WWE or ROH at the time or Impact? And there is still plenty of talent available for those shows, but it's not necessarily the big names. The big names are being tied up by all the other promotions.
