Former Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff has passed away.
Koff was the Chief Operating Officer of ROH Wrestling from September 2011, shortly after the company was acquired by Sinclair Broadcasting, to May 2022, when the promotion was officially sold to Tony Khan.
With Koff as COO, ROH expanded its reach with monthly pay-per-views, weekly television, the launch of HonorClub, running Madison Square Garden alongside NJPW, and helping produce All In with Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson).
Koff had been with Sinclair Broadcasting for over two decades, joining in January 2003, and was the Senior Vice President of Training and Development for the company.
