Nigel McGuinness: In It to Win It
KENTA
A record setting Pure Champion and a record holding World Champion; through two dominant title reigns, Nigel McGuinness etched out his position in the Ring of Honor history books through pain and sacrifice.
KENTA: Go 2 Sleep
KENTA
The innovator of the Go 2 Sleep, a multi-time GHC champion in both the Junior Heavyweight Singles & Tag Divisons, one of the hardest-hitting individuals to ever enter the ROH ring, he is KENTA! KENTA debuted in Ring of Honor in late 2005 and immediately established himself as a force to be reckoned with in his GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title affair against Low Ki. With his crisp chops, vicious kicks, and lightning fast reflexes, KENTA was right at home in Ring of Honor, and it was those attributes that lead to his domination of ROH in 2006, culminating in the epic ROH World Title bout with Bryan Danielson. Whether it be Austin Aries, Rocky Romero, or Samoa Joe, nearly every one in ROH went toe-to-toe with KENTA and had the scars to prove it.
ROH: Japan's Finest
KENTA
Since its inception, Ring of Honor has prided itself on presenting the absolute best professional wrestling on the planet with the top athletes not just from the United States but from around the world. In that endeavor, we have been graced with the presence of numerous wrestlers from the world of Japanese Puroresu; from young up & comers to the legends of the squared circle, ROH has been home to them all over the years. Be it Jushin 'Thunder' Liger & The Great Muta or Go Shiozaki & Dragon Kid, they have all competed here and enriched the great history of ROH.
Danielson vs The World
KENTA
Bryan Danielson has been referred to as the best wrestler in the world throughout his career and never was that more demonstrated than during his tenure in Ring of Honor. From his debut on ROH's very first event in 2002 until he parted ways in 2009, Danielson demonstrated his unique and varied abilities against every man in the ROH locker room and competitors from around the world.
Danielson vs McGuinness
KENTA
Their rivalry is one of epic proportions in the history books of Ring of Honor. From their first meeting in the spring of 2006 until their final ROH match in the fall of 2009, Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness engaged in one of the most legendary series of matches ROH had ever seen, or will likely ever see again.
The Briscoe Brothers: The Baddest Tag Team on the Planet
KENTA
Jay & Mark Briscoe have defined tag team wrestling in Ring of Honor since day one. As part of ROH from the very first event in 2002, the brothers from Sandy Fork, DE have captured the ROH World Tag Titles multiple times with a fast-paced, hard-hitting, risk-taking style that has certainly cemented them as ROH legends. As a duo, they have faced every team that has ever set foot into the ROH ring and dominated them with their tag team excellence and with their willingness to brawl it out if the situation calls for it. With their title bouts against teams such as Austin Aries & Roderick Strong, their brutal Ladder War, or their state of the art contests against Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin, Jay & Mark Briscoe have demonstrated why they are the most respected team in ROH history. Fearless, confident and driven, the Briscoe Brothers are indeed The Baddest Tag Team on the Planet!
