7 Reasons ROH Deserves A TV Deal Far More Than TNA

6. Better Booking

On the surface, Ring of Honor may seem a promotion that pays too little attention to storylines and angles. The 'Code of Honor', a series of traditional rules based around mutual respect and fairness, appears to characterise ROH as a company that simply puts on a string of matches, allowing none of the shenanigans that make pro wrestling such an appealing medium. This is far from the case. By establishing such a strong moral baseline, ROH paints its heels in an incredibly devious light when they inevitably break the rules. In a more general sense, they are always keen to push big personalities (as long as they have the in-ring skills to back up their talk), with figures as diverse as the rustic Briscoe Brothers and the preening Michael Bennett littering its landscape. Conversely, TNA's booking has been a mess for the majority of its existence. Easily the most often criticised aspect of the promotion, its storylines often devolve into overly-complex nonsense (such as the incredibly confusing Aces and Eights angle that dominated much of 2012/13), or rely too heavily upon fading old stars such as Hulk Hogan, Sting, Kurt Angle and Mick Foley.
