ROH Anniversary Show
ring of Honor pay-per-view event series
The ROH Anniversary Show was a professional wrestling event, held annually by the Ring of Honor promotion. The event celebrated the anniversary of the promotion's inaugural show The Era of Honor Begins, which was held on February 23, 2002. To coincide with this, the Anniversary Show was normally held in February, though it occasionally fell into March.
Although most years have seen a one-night celebration, the third year saw three events take place over two weekends. The fifth year went further and had five events in ROH's most popular venues, leading up to a sixth and final show in Liverpool, England across three weekends. In recent years, the Anniversary Show had become a two-night event, with a PPV broadcast followed the next day with TV tapings of the flagship Ring of Honor Wrestling program. All previous events were recorded and sold later on DVD.
The 18th Anniversary Show, which was scheduled to take place on March 13, 2020, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even the 20th Anniversary Show was not held due to ROH on hiatus before its eventual sale to Tony Khan in 2022.

Why this record matters
The phrase “ring of Honor pay-per-view event series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1393240. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2020 and 2022.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
