History

In April 2001, professional wrestling video distribution company RF Video was in need of a new promotion to lead its video sales after Extreme Championship Wrestling (its best seller) went out of business. Robert Feinstein is the owner and operator of RF Video (a professional wrestling video tape & DVD distribution company who were best known as the videographers of Extreme Championship Extreme Championship Wrestling ( ECW) was a Professional wrestling promotion that was founded in Philadelphia Pennsylvania in 1992 by At the time, RF Video also filmed events held by other, less-popular, regional wrestling promotions; it sold these through its catalog and website. RF Video owner Rob Feinstein decided to fill the ECW void by starting his own promotion, then distributing its made-for-DVD and VHS productions exclusively through RF Video. Robert Feinstein is the owner and operator of RF Video (a professional wrestling video tape & DVD distribution company who were best known as the videographers of Extreme Championship The first event, titled The Era of Honor Begins, was held on February 23, 2002.

S. ). Ten shows were run in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; two in greater Boston, Massachusetts; one in metro Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and, one in Queens, New York.

In 2004, Feinstein was caught in a sting operation in which he tried to solicit sex from an adult posing as a minor; as a result, Feinstein left the company in June 2004 [1]. The scandal garnered bad publicity for ROH, resulting in a decline in business for a period of time. Also as a result of this, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling pulled its contracted wrestlers (most notably AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels) from all Ring of Honor shows [2]. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling ( TNA) is an American Professional wrestling promotion founded by Jeff Jarrett and his father Jerry Jarrett Alan Jones (born June 2 1978 (TNA where he is a three-time TNA Triple Crown Champion. This was also a factor in the decline, as both performers were marquee names for ROH. Feinstein's stake was eventually sold to Doug Gentry, who later sold it to Cary Silkin [3]. Ring of Honor would start its own mail-order and online store, which sells DVDs of its live events and shoot interviews with wrestlers and managers, along with wrestling-related merchandise of other companies, including some competing promotions. In Professional wrestling, a shoot refers to any unplanned event &ndash that is an event that is "real" and not staged

Code of Honor

The primary way of setting ROH apart from other promotions was the "Code of Honor": a set of rules dictating how wrestlers were supposed to conduct themselves during matches. The Code of Honor was intended to infuse Ring of Honor's matches with a feel similar to Japanese professional wrestling. Professional wrestling in Japan is commonly referred to as in Japanese, short for "professional Initially, there were five "Laws" in the Code of Honor, which were mentioned at some point during each ROH home release. It was considered a "moral requirement" to follow these rules. They were (usually in this order):

  1. You must shake hands before and after every match.
  2. No outside interference -- no interfering in others' matches or having others interfere on your behalf.
  3. No sneak attacks
  4. No harming the officials. A professional wrestling referee is the official figure that makes sure that wrestling matches move smoothly in an attempt to maintain Kayfabe.
  5. Do not get yourself disqualified

The Code of Honor (especially its first three rules) was used principally to help heels get over quickly. In Professional wrestling, a heel is a Villain character In non-wrestling jargon heels are the "bad guys" in pro wrestling storylines. The first rule was especially applicable to Christopher Daniels, who was pushed as the promotion's first major heel. Daniel Christopher Covell (born December 24, 1971) is an American professional wrestler, best known in the United States by his ring name Daniels and his faction, The Prophecy, did not believe in the Code of Honor, refusing to shake anyone's hand. The Prophecy was a heel stable in Ring of Honor, led by Christopher Daniels, who's goal was to break down Ring of Honor and rebuild in their The fourth and fifth rules were to emphasize ROH's match finishes, the vast majority of which resulted in 'honest' pins, submissions, or knockouts. On the rare occasion that a match did end with outside interference, a "ref bump", or some other traditional heel scenario, it was met with a much more visceral (negative) fan reaction than would be seen elsewhere in the wrestling world. In the early days of the promotion, it was even suggested that getting disqualified in a match may result in that wrestler never appearing in ROH again.

In early 2004, ROH's booker, Gabe Sapolsky, began to feel that the Code of Honor had run its course [8]. Gabe Sapolsky (born in Brookline Massachusetts) is a wrestling personality and booker for Ring of Honor and Full Impact Pro. Wrestlers were no longer required to follow it, allowing for more dramatic, explosive, and over-the-top match endings. This was accepted at that point due to the stars the promotion had already established, and the trust of the loyal fans it had won. The Code of Honor eventually re-appeared -- revamped -- as three rules:

  1. Shake hands before and after the match -- if you respect your opponent.
  2. Keep the playing field level.
  3. Respect the officials.

Contenders for Championships

Originally, Ring of Honor had no formal way to determine challengers for its World Championship. When Xavier, a heel champion, began to avoid challengers, Ring of Honor instated a Top Five Ranking system to establish contenders to the title. John Jirus (born in Queens New York New York) is an American professional wrestler, best known for his appearances with Ring of Honor Wrestlers were ranked based on their general win-loss record, and their win-loss record against other ranked competitors. The top contender held the Number One Contender's Trophy, which was treated as a second championship at the time, and defended as such.

The ranking system was abolished with the creation of the new Code of Honor. The ranking system was replaced by the Contenders Ring, a more complex polling system whereby ROH officials would submit rankings after each show. Wrestlers who appeared on more than 75% of the ballots were considered to be in the Contenders Ring, which earned them title shots for both the World and Pure Championships. The Ring of Honor (ROH Pure Championship was a title contested for in the North American independent Professional wrestling promotion Ring of Honor

In January 2005, Ring of Honor did away with the Contenders Ring. Instead, wrestlers who wanted a title shot had to submit a petition to ROH officials. After a petition was filed, ROH officials kept track of the petitioner's record, quality of opposition, respect shown towards the Code of Honor, and inherent skill. These factors determined who would receive a title shot. Despite the petition system, ROH officials retained the ability to determine #1 contenders.

Upon the naming of Jim Cornette as ROH Commissioner in October 2005, Ring of Honor Management confirmed the return of the Top Five Ranking system. James Mark "Jim" Cornette (born September 17 1961 is an American Professional wrestling manager, commentator, promoter The "Top 5" was voted on by Cornette and other ROH officials during the first week of every month, only. Voting was based on won/lost record and quality of opposition, with a heavy emphasis on the previous month.

In July of 2006, Ring of Honor again dropped the Top 5 concept, as it had not consistently been used to determine ROH World Title challengers. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. The champion at the time, Bryan Danielson, had instead been sending open contracts to wrestlers in other promotions around the world, with ROH officials also choosing contenders from within the company. Bryan Danielson (born May 22 1981) is a American independent professional wrestler, also known as the "American Dragon" This was also done when Homicide won the title from him -- who lost it to one of those challengers: Takeshi Morishima from Pro Wrestling NOAH. Nelson Erazo (born March 20 1977) is an American professional wrestler of Puerto Rican descent better known by his ring (October 15 1978 is a Japanese professional wrestler. He is currently performing for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan and for Ring of Honor in the United Pro-Wrestling NOAH is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion, founded in 2000 by former All Japan Pro Wrestling ace Mitsuharu Misawa After Morishima won the belt, it seemed that he could choose his challengers, as he defended it (with ROH and NOAH approval) at NOAH's March 4, 2007 Budoukan Hall show against KENTA [9].
