ROH Final Battle
Final Battle is a professional wrestling event, held annually by the Ring of Honor promotion. The event was initially held in 2002, and is traditionally ROH's last show in the calendar year.[1] The 2009 edition of the show was ROH's first internet pay-per-view, and the first ROH show to be broadcast live.[2] The 2010 edition and the 2011 edition were also broadcast live via the internet. Final Battle is ROH's biggest event of the year, similar to WWE's WrestleMania and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Bound for Glory.[3][4]
Since its inception, the event has been held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New York City, and Edison, New Jersey. Between 2006 and 2014, every Final Battle has been held at either the Grand Ballroom or the Hammerstein Ballroom of the Manhattan Center in New York City.
