And really as far as ROH getting a TV deal, for the products integrity, I'd hope they didn't. You cannot appreciate Danielson or McGuiness without seeing their ring pyschology. TV would make that obsolete. 20 minute masterpieces would become 7 minute clusterfucks and those guys have stiff offense but it's not spectacular. It takes a real appreciation, thus why ROH is so different then ECW. ECW was a spot fest. It had great wrestling but thrived on spots. It was perfect (in theory) for TV. ROH's product is not.
