Ring of Honor announced that former Champion, Samoa Joe, will join The Briscoe Brothers and Bryan Danielson as part of the first Hall of Fame Class.

Joe debuted for ROH in their inaugural year, 2002, and he climbed up the ladder quickly, defeating Xavier for the ROH World Title.  Holding the belt for 21 months, he had classic title defenses against CM Punk, which were considered some of the best wrestling in North America at the time.  Following his title loss to Austin Aries, he would defeat Jay Lethal for the Pure Championship.  Joe also had another legendary match for the promotion against Japanese legend, Kenta Kobashi.

Are you feeling a bit torn about the upcoming RV season? On the one hand, it’s a great opportunity to get away, enjoy some peace and check out a variety of fabulous RV parks across the country, but on the other hand, what if you love watching sports and are quite accustomed to your television setup at home? There’s no doubt you have a big screen TV and impressive sound system, which is perfect for all the big games. So, how can you watch sports in an RV and get the best of both worlds while on the road?

We’ve got a few tips you can use that will ensure your sports watching doesn’t have to take a backseat when you head out in the RV.

Make Sure You’ve Got More than One TV on the Interior

The first tip is to think about who you’ll be traveling with since they may not want sports playing 24/7. This is especially true if you’re vacationing with kids, as they will probably want to watch their shows and movies. So, you’re going to want to think ahead and be sure you’ve got more than one television in the RV, preferably separated by walls and a door so you can block out the sound. Be sure to choose a flatscreen tv that is sleek and compact. It should also be the largest screen size that will fit in the designated spot.

Satellite Television Connects You to Many Channels

You also need to think about how you'll access the various channels that carry sports games. For many RV'ers, the best solution is a satellite TV. Some models are meant for RVs so they are quick and easy to set up. You can look into options like Dish Network which features pay as you go options. This is especially handy if you’re in a spot that doesn’t have reliable cell service, so streaming services aren’t ideal.

Install an Exterior TV

Many of the newer RV models put a lot of focus on exterior features. You can check out CrankyApe.com RVs for an idea of what to expect in new and used models. The whole idea is that you create an outdoor living space so that there's no need to go inside the RV on a beautiful day. These features are built into compartments that you can open up once outside. They can include things like an outside fridge, countertop, cupboards, a grill, sink and a retractable awning.

Another great feature is an outside TV. What this means is that you can transform the great outdoors into your sports view room, allowing you to revel in the beauty of nature while ensuring you don’t miss the big games. If you don’t already have an RV with this feature, you can look at having it installed.

With these simple tips, you’ll realize there is no reason to worry about how you’ll watch a sports game while in your RV, which means nothing is holding you back from hitting the open road.
