Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff talks all things ROH
Fifteen years after Ring of Honor put on its first show, the promotion’s future has never looked brighter.
After ROH helped launch the careers of pro wrestling mainstays such as CM Punk, Kevin Steen (Kevin Owens) and Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan), the company is not only developing their homegrown talent, but also acquiring some of the top wrestlers in the world. From Cody Rhodes to Bully Ray and even a brief Hardy Boyz run, ROH has established itself as one of the hottest promotions in the country.
“The thing about Ring of Honor is we wrestle a brand, a style and an expectation. It’s up to us every year to exceed those expectations,” said ROH COO Joe Koff in an exclusive interview with FanBuzz. “I don’t want to get spoiled here, but that’s my expectation that we are putting out a product that people want to see.”
“Whether it’s the guys wrestling with us, the fans coming to see us, the TV viewers who choose to watch us. I think there’s lots of upside here. We have a long way to go to get to the size and level of the WWE. Quite frankly, if I’m still around in 50 or 70 years, I expect to be as big as they are.”
