Why doesn't RoH put on a show in Pittsburgh?

[jwpeer]

I was just curious if anyone more in touch with the RoH product knows why they make stops all around Ohio (And as far west as Chicago), but fail to make on in PGH?

 

 

Is it because they're based in Philadelphia and they don't want to alienate their fans, or feel they won't draw here? It's a bigger city than Dayton and even a little larger than Cleveland and it's close to LOTS of communities...

 

 

I mean I would love to enjoy their product in person (and would then start buying dvd's if it's as great as everything I read about) if I had even one chance to see it.

 

 

Thanks for any info anyone might have

They went to Pittsburgh right around the beginning of Joe's title reign I believe. Not sure if there was low attendance or why they have never returned to the region though.

I found it, they listed it under West Mifflin (township name), 2 years ago.

 

Well, maybe in another year we'll get a show, thanks for the info

Because they hate the Steelers.

They went to Pittsburgh twice and did bad attendance.

It could be true.

 

then again i hate them sometimes too...and i really hate stereotypical Steeler FANS almost all the time.

 

 

 

thanks for the info also bob_barron, figures they'd do crappy attendance. That's the way crap works.

I think WWE owns Pittsburgh in terms of fan attendance, due to their hometown hero plying his trade in WWE rings.

I can't argue with Angle being a huge draw here. I remember watching the pgh RAW earlier this year and really getting into it. I still think Angle in Pittsburgh is one of the best reactions ANYONE can get.

Basically, at the time ROH needed 400 fans in attendance to break even and didn't draw it for either show.

 

I can honestly say I did my part to try and keep it there but have had to settle for Dayton until next month's Cleveland show comes around.

How do they do great attendence in Philly but bad attendence in Pittsburg? It's not like both towns are extremely far from each other or anything...

Pittsburgh is more of WWE's town than RoH's. They also give off the impression to me of a working class town that is more interested in entertainment and such than workrate.

300 miles apart (5 hour drive) isn't exactly "close".

I e-mailed Cary and asked him this question last spring, and he said that they'd be back here sometime in the fall, but looking at their event schedule, that apparently isn't happening. However, you can see a lot of ROH stars in the Pittsburgh area IWC promotion, if you really need a ROH fix.
