ROH Owner Cary Silkin Talks on the End of ROH on HDNet

From a fanhouse.com interview:

“It gives us an opportunity to … naturally, we’re going to look for another outlet. But besides that, we should be filling in some extra weekends now with some additional house shows. We have the time open and we’re also looking towards doing more of the i-pay-per-views (online pay-per-view shows) which are becoming pretty successful. We’ve gotten increased numbers on each one of them. The “Final Battle” (on Dec. 18) was significantly better and I think people are getting more accustomed to that forum of media. It’s new. As people are learning about it and they realize they can see the show live for not that much money, they’re enjoying it. So, we’ll be working on those aforementioned avenues.”

“It’s not easy but there are a lot of networks out there. I think one thing HDNet did give us was the platform that we’re a real company, a real wrestling company. We needed to be legitimized a little. They gave us two years of national exposure so it gives you a little backbone going into this.”

“There have so many occasions where they were tolling the bell, like the ten-bell salute for us. Whether it’s been losing major stars simultaneously or other things that have happened in the past and now this. We’ve been able to come out of it. Sometimes these adverse situations lead to new opportunity. So, that’s how we’re looking at it and we’re looking forward to 2011.”
