ROH records the majority of its shows and sells them on DVD through mail order and through its online store, which has developed a fanbase for the promotion in the United States and beyond. In 2009, ROH signed a long-term television deal with HDNet, airing shows every week. ROH matches are also broadcast on The Fight Network in Canada, on Samurai TV in Japan, and previously aired in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Select shows are broadcast as internet pay-per-views through Go Fight Live.

==History==

ROH appeared in the 2008 film ''[[The Wrestler|The Wrestler]]'', where it promotes the final bout of the film between Randy "The Ram" Robinson (played by [[Mickey Rourke]]) and The Ayatollah (played by [[Ernest Miller|Ernest "The Cat" Miller]]). Several wrestlers, including [[Desmond Wolfe|Damian Lufborough]], [[Claudio Castagnoli|Klaudio Kastagnoli]] and Bobby Dempsey appear on film during the ROH scenes. As of 2011, due to its television show and presence on PPV, ROH is considered the third most prominent professional wrestling promotion in the United States (behind [[IWE]] and [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling|TNA]]).
