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.
