Ring Of Honor Announces 2020 ROH Awards, How You Can Vote
With 2020 in the books, Ring of Honor has announced the 2020 ROH Awards and fans will be able to vote for winners in each category.
2020 was a particularly rough year for Ring of Honor, the global pandemic for the promotion to cancel or postpone several events including a tournament that would Crown a new Ring of Honor Women’s Champion, a Past vs. Present event, and the original tournament to Crown a new Ring of Honor Pure Champion.
Still, Ring of Honor was able to show its resiliency when they resurfaced inside of the Ring of Honor bubble in Maryland. Now, Ring of Honor has announced its year-end awards and one stands to vote via the new Experience platform.
Ring of Honor went on hiatus for five months in 2020 due to the pandemic, but there were still a number of great moments, matches, performances and debuts during the year.
It’s up to you to decide the best of the best. This year, voting for the awards will take place exclusively on the ROH The Experience Facebook group.
Voting for the 2020 ROH awards is open through Jan 31.
