Belltime is 7:30pm and there will be tickets available at the door. Nothing beats bleacher seats in Philly at the air conditioned National Guard Armory. The Philly crowd made "Take No Prisoners" such a special event that it didn't take ROH officials more than three seconds to decide to tape "Respect Is Earned II" at the National Guard Armory. ROH hopes that "Respect Is Earned" will become known as ROH's signature PPV. It is sure to be another great atmosphere and intense show in Philly so get your tickets at the door and see the PPV weeks before everyone else.
