Ring Of Honor COO Joe Koff Interview: ROH 500, Product Relaunch, Maintaining Talent, More

by Graham Matthews

Finally, what can fans expect from the 500th episode of ROH TV on Friday night?

Koff: We're very interested in what the fans want and always have been. They chose two matches. One is Jay Lethal against Jonathan Gresham, and of course Mark and Jay Briscoe going against each other. These are marquee matchups and we're offering them on television over the air which is why we got into the business in the first place. Back in 2010, there wasn't going to any national or regional wrestling on over-the-air television. Sinclair Group was one of the leaders in linear broadcasting at the time and we saw that as an opportunity to provide that as grow and more markets got it. It's really exciting to be able to present that in 500th form. It's beautiful, it's a great episode.
