ROH Announces Best In The World PPV To Have Live Crowd

Ring of Honor announced Best in the World will be its next PPV on Sunday, July 11 at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.

This will also be the first time in almost a year and a half that ROH will have a show in front of a live audience. The event will have limited capacity with pod seating for proper social distancing. ROH noted they will take temperatures upon entry and masks will be required throughout the event.

“Our locker room full of tremendous athletes have missed the energy of connecting with our great fans that you only get with a live show,” said Joe Koff, COO of Ring of Honor. “We look forward to giving them more of the best bell-to-bell action, including the return of the ‘Survival of the Fittest’ tournament and the highly anticipated Women’s Championship Tournament this summer.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of our talented athletes, fans and everyone who has done their part to keep each other safe.  It’s been a challenging year, no doubt, but we’re excited to continue to ramp up what we do best. Nothing beats the thrill of witnessing The Best Wrestling on the Planet and seeing your favorite stars LIVE and in-person. We would like to do this still with the fans’ safety, health and well-being as ROH’s top priorities.”

Tickets go on sale Monday, June 7 at 10 am ET for the general public. HonorClub members get first access on Monday, May 24 at 10 am ET.

EC3 Hospitalized With Infection

EC3 has been hospitalized with an infection.

The Ring of Honor star posted two hospital bed photos to his Instagram, noting the infection is “extensive.”

“Short version; An infection I neglected proper care for, put others people’s needs before mind, went straight empath, caught up to me and broke me,” EC3 wrote. “Long version; it’s extensive, I’ve been hospitalized 5 days and we’ll need longer. Anyways I will heal, if you want to help drop a comment or a thought or affirmation.”

The former TNA World Champion concluded the caption by asking fans and friends to show their support in the comments, and to refrain from texting him directly.

EC3 is currently signed to ROH, where he recently lost his grudge match against Jay Briscoe at ROH’s 19th Anniversary Show. Looking towards the future, EC3 has a special “Free the Narrative” event scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend, which he is currently slated to headline against Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder). There is no telling how long this hospitalization will keep him out of action or whether “Free the Narrative” will be delayed.
