Monthly $7.99 Recurring Billing *
Quarterly $19.99 Recurring Billing *
Annual $59.99 Recurring Billing *

INTRODUCTORY OFFER :

September 24th - October 24th

Free New Logo T-Shirt with Purchase of Annual Membership ($20 value)

I am not sure yet if I am going to get a ringside membership or not. Since the new ROH show is on TV in Las Vegas, the early following Monday access to the web broadcast for the TV show is not that important to me (except for on weeks when I am not home the previous Saturday night- but even so I would probably watch RAW instead on Mondays and I can just wait until ROH"s regular Thursday web broadcast as I already wait until Wednesday anyway for the web broadcast for the previous week's NWA Hollywood.)

I might try it out for a Quarterly basis at first and then switch to Annual/Yearly.

Since my wonderful CW doesnt show ROH I am going to go with the membership. I will do it annually, part so I get a free t-shirt, and part because it is ROH and I want something else to watch.

I won't (no credit card...staying away from those t higns for a long while), but I think it's a really nice deal all things considered.

TTX: it looked like the GA membership was free, so even if your were trying to cut back on spending, you could still see the current week's show. If I am wrong on this, someone please correct it. Thanks

Yeah, GA membership is free and allows you to watch the previous ROH TV episode show through ROH's website starting on the Thursday after the show (versus the Monday after the show for Ringside members.)

I know someone that got the 7.99 thing and they said the offerings of classic stuff was laughable currently. Like 3 full shows and a handful of classic matches.

I bought my annual Ringside Membership yesterday.

I really think it is worth it for $60 as you sort of get $20 back automatically with a free new ROH logo shirt and other special discounts throughout the year.

Last night alone I actually already sort of saved $28 as I got a free $20 ROH shirt and ordered the new Davey Richards DVD set at my membership's 15% off and an American Wolves shirt at my memberships's 25% off for this weekend (all ROH apparel is 25% of for Ringside members this weekend) for another combined savings of $8. Plus, when ROH does their constant sales, Ringside members get the same sale PLUS their normal 15% off too.

I don't constantly order from ROH, but I order enough that I consider the $60 annual Ringside membership money well spent.

Ringside members also save money on the ROH IPPVs- I am guessing perhaps the savings is around $3 which would be a 20% savings from their $15 IPPVs?

I don't think it is "laughable" at all.

Using my new Ringside membership, this afternoon I watched part of Glory by Honor VI from 2007 including the impromptu match between ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness vs Chris Hero which was the title shot Hero earned by winning Survival of the Fittest the previous month in the only ROH show so far to take place in Las Vegas.

Tonight I might also watch the match between Claudio and Hallowicked or perhaps the tag team scramble.

Dustin, what do you think of your membership? I like mine.

Yesterday at Galactical, David Marquez, the promoter of NWA Hollywood, said that ROH is doing really well with its new website based membership service- and that word is getting out about how well ROH is doing with it. I don't know, but perhaps this might lead to other Indy feds doing something similar too?
