During a recent interview with the Kingston Whig-Standard, wrestling veteran, Christopher Daniels discussed the growth of Ring Of Honor and the emerging Women Of Honor division. Below are some highlights of the interview.
The growth of Ring Of Honor:
“When we first started doing Ring of Honor, we had no idea it was going to grow to where it is now.We’ve been very fortunate. We’ve had some great people behind the scenes who have helped Ring of Honor grow, from the people who have been creatively steering the boat to Joe Koff and Sinclair Broadcasting coming in 2011 to help us get to the point where we are now.”

ROH developing young talent:
“I feel like Ring of Honor has been a destination for guys that are coming up through the independent scene and for a lot of the talent, it’s their first opportunity to be seen on a national scale, talent that is coming up in professional wrestling, they look at Ring of Honor as an opportunity to sort of break through on a worldwide scale.”
Rise of women’s wrestling:
“I think it’s a mirror of what’s happening in society, in the ‘90s, even in the early 2000s, women’s wrestling was looked at as an attraction, sort of a novelty. But in the past number of years, you’ve seen the emergence of such great athletes, especially in the WWE because, let’s be honest, that’s what most people equate to the rise in women’s wrestling, the rise of women like Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch and Paige. You look at all these women who have come up and they’ve forced the wrestling world to take the predicate of women’s wrestling off and just call it wrestling.”
