Brent Albright

Name: "The Gun For Hire" Brent Albright

Allignment: Heel

Height | Weight: 6'0, 240 lb

Billed From: Tulsa, Oklahoma

Alliances: Adam Pearce, BJ Whitmer and Shane Hagadorn as The Hangmen Three

Finishing Move(s): The Crowbar (Fujiwara Armbar), Half Nelson Suplex

Theme Music: 8 Degrees - Clayed and Stitched

Since coming to ROH in late 2006 following his release from the WWE, Albright has never been amidst any "personal feuds". Instead, Albright offers his services to whomever is willing to pay for him - Most notably injuring Homicide's shoulder for Bryan Danielson before their title match at Final Battle and 2006, as well as repeatedly beating down Colt Cabana and BJ Whitmer for Lacey and Jimmy Jacobs in the early parts of 2007.

Brent has since then joined Adam Pearce, BJ Whitmer and Shane Hagadorn to form The Hangmen Three and feud with Delirious. Many consider Albright to be the muscle of the group, and every time he steps foot in the ring he backs that up. With uncanny power and great technique, Albright can brawl with the best of them but he can also chain wrestle with the best, as shown by his matches with Colt Cabana. We have seen very little of Brent so far in terms of personality, and many feel that there is a fountain of untapped potential lying dormant inside of Brent. Will Adam Pearce be the one to release that potential? Only time will tell.

Despite having only performing three times in Ring Of Honor history, Bobby Dempsey is arguably the most loved man on the entire roster. Signed to Larry Sweeney and Sweet N Sour Inc. in an iron clad contract, Dempsey is the butt of all of Sweet N' Sour's jokes - Sweeney even hired Tank Toland, the world's greatest personal trainer, just to whip Dempsey in to shape! Bobby is constantly abused and demoralised by Sweeney, Hero and Toland and is forced to do many embarrassing things: Things that he can not say no to, due to being employed by Larry Sweeney, not Ring Of Honor. However, not all of Sweet N Sour abuse Dempsey, as Sara Del Rey has stuck her neck on the line on behalf of Dempsey, who is too scared to do it himself. 

Being one of the first graduates out of the ROH Wrestling Academy, Bobby has been in front of the ROH Audience for many years, and despite the crowd detesting Larry, Chris, Tank and to a certain extent, Sara, they have always loved and adored Bobby. However, the chants and cheers for Bobby only infuriate Sweeney and Co. more, leading to them further embarrassing Bobby. Will Dempsey ever manage to escape the wrath of Sweet N Sour? We'll never know. But for now, he doesn't even have a choice.

Name: BJ Whitmer

Allignment: Heel

Height | Weight: 6'2, 230 lb

Alliances: Adam Pearce, Brent Albright and Shane Hagadorn as The Hangmen Three

Finishing Move(s): Adrenaline Spike (reverse pildriver), Frog Splash

4x ROH World Tag Team Champion w/ Dan Maff x2 and w/ Jimmy Jacobs x2

Theme Music: Stone Temple Pilots - Down

Before 2007, many considered BJ to be the best single tag team wrestler in ROH history. Teaming with the likes of Jimmy Jacobs, Dan Maff, Raven and Christopher Daniels just to name a few, BJ found a lot of success in the company, even picking up the tag titles four times. He's know to be as brutal as they come, being a part of some of bloodiest brawls in ROH history between The Prophecy (BJ Whitmer and Dan Maff) and The Second City Saints (CM Punk, Colt Cabana and Ace Steel). 

Throughout 2006, BJ was a key part of ROH's battle against CZW. After a successful run as a team with Jimmy Jacobs, Whitmer turned on Jacobs after Jimmy cost the team several matches. The two then feuded towards the back end of 2006 and beginning of 2007, as Colt Cabana and Daizee Haze joined Whitmer whilst Brent Albright and Lacey joined Jacobs, as the six brawled all over the world, leading to a huge blow off steel cage match between Whitmer and Jacobs at Supercard Of Honor II.

Following the cage match, the two men each took a small hiatus to recover from injuries. BJ returned first, and competed in singles action for a few months, before turning heel by joining Adam Pearce, Brent Albright and Shane Hagadorn to form The Hangmen Three, by stapling Delirious' mask to his head. Since then, BJ has been focussed on taking Delirious out of commission and enjoying success as a part of Pearce's group.

Known as one of the best brawler in the world, Whitmer is one tough son of a bitch. There isn't a man he isn't afraid to punch and there isn't a stunt he isn't willing to pull in order to hurt his opponents. BJ doesn't talk alot, and is often the muscle in many of the groups he's been a part of, but just because he's quiet doesn't mean he's deadly.

Austin Aries

Name: Austin Aries

Allignment: Face

Height | Weight: 5'9, 200 lb

Billed From: Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Alliances: Matt Cross and Erick Stevens as The Resilience

Finishing Move(s): Last Chancery, The 450 Splash, The Brainbuster

1x ROH World Heavyweight Champion

1x ROH World Tag Team Champion w/ Roderick Strong

Theme Music: Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus

Some call him "The Ace of ROH". Others call him "Mr ROH" whilst a few call him "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived". Whatever you call him, Austin Aries personified everything ROH is about.

Austin Aries has done it all in ROH, and that isn't a hyperbole. He's the man that ended Samoa Joe's legendary 21 month title reign and he's the man that created, formed and led the most dominant stable in ROH history to date, Generation Next. He's gone 75 minutes with Bryan Danielson and he's also finished Nigel McGuinness off in under ten minutes. He literally has done it all.

Following the break up of Generation Next, and being turned on by then best friend Roderick Strong, Austin Aries has been in the midst of faction warfare in ROH. Sick of being assaulted ne berated by Strong's new stable, The No Remorse Corps, Aries went out and found himself a new faction in order to prove to Roderick and the world that he is indeed a true leader and he is indeed the most important man in Ring Of Honor. This time, however, Aries went out and found himself two men who hadn't yet made an impact in ROH, and they were Matt Cross and Erick Stevens: The Resilience.

Since then, The Resilience and The No Remorse Corps have waged war and had many matches that will stand the test of time, including the iconic Philadelphia Street fight that saw the two factions beat the holy hell out of each other for over 40 minutes, with Matt Sydal and Delirious joining the NRC and The Resilience, respectively.

Aries has been the fan's favourite, and the most hated, but he has constantly been on of the most impressive in the ring. He's not afraid to take a shortcut, but he's also not afraid to go one on one for an hour. Some call it arrogance and some call it cockiness, but Aries is definitely confident in his abilities and isn't afraid to punk his opponents out in the ring or on the microphone.

Adam Pearce

Adam Pearce debuted for ROH in 2005, and quickly became heavily involved in the ongoing war between ROH and CZW. After the feud ended between the two promotions, Pearce turned on ROH cohort Homicide, becoming heel. Following a feud with Homicide, Pearce named then Ring Of Honor Academy student Shane Hagadorn as his "man servant" and manager. 

Pearce then alligned himself with Brent Abright. The two feuded with Delirious. Following a Four Corner Survival Match between Pearce, Brent Albright, Delirious and (then face) BJ Whitmer, Pearce and Albright beat down Delirious. Being the leader that he is, and having his way with words, Pearce managed to convince Whitmer not to stick up for Delirious and join the group instead. After some convincing, Whitmer turned heel and stapled Delirious' mask to his head with a staple gun, with Pearce saying that if Delirious is so bothered about keeping his mask on, he can have it permanently. Since then, The Hangmen Three have continued to feud with Delirious, embarrassing and brutalising him wherever possible, and generally wreak havoc in ROH.

Pearce is a real throwback - His moveset is simple, but not limited. He is known to have a way with words and be a real leader. He isn't afraid to cheat to win, and he will genuinely do anything to get his way. A well seasoned veteran who's traveled the world, Adam Pearce still has a lot left in the tank and has all the potential in the world to one day become a World Champion.
