Pro wrestling promotion Ring of Honor has announced plans to launch an over the top streaming service in the first quarter of 2017.

Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff recently spoke with CBS about the promotions streaming plans:

“We have an app coming out in the first quarter. It really became developmentally the right time to do it. We saw an opportunity. We had a long discussion about it. We looked at the business model and how it impacts our business. We just felt that this was the time to create our own Ring of Honor stream.

You’re going to see an enhanced Honor Club. We tested it during the Global Wars Tour of streaming house shows to ringside members. You’re going to see a lot more content available, not only to everybody, but certainly in that Honor Club. [When we tested] streaming for two shows, our response was terrific from a quality standpoint and from an accessibility standpoint.”

Koff was also asked if PPV programing would appear on the app and move away from traditional TV PPV, he said, “Well we might continue both. I would like to migrate personally to stream model, because a lot of people are watching on those devices anyway. And the quality is so good. And you know a lot of those boxes are hooked up to big sets and smart TVs and stuff like that. I’m not ruling out traditional pay-per-views, but the world is going that way.”

Ring of Honor provided a few more details about the upcoming streaming service via a Facebook post saying, “The service will be available online and as a mobile app for Android and iOS operating systems. The content will also be available on Roku with plans for Apple TV and Android TV as well.”

No details about app pricing or in app advertisements have been released. We will keep you updated as we get more info.
