Low-Ki, The man who would make even Jackie Chan run in fear, with his stiff kicks and high impact moves has recently left ROH for good (Well,as long as this is Wrestling, nothing is forever... Heck, how many times have you heard the word "Retirement" and then the word "Returning" a few months after?) He missed a show 11/1 and then after talks with ROH, decided to call it quits.

ROH, or Ring Of Honor. Is one of the best federations out there, for those of you living under the Glass Ceiling WWE marks. Low-Ki's style helped make what Ring Of Honor what it is today. He was also their first ever ROH Champion. I just wanted to say good luck to Low-ki, and I hope that NWA-TNA pushes him straight to the top like they did to AJ... and also hope he knocks out and ends J.J.'s career and the process ... but thats a whole different story.

Ring Of Honor is still a great federation, with talent from all around the world. They are bringing in Keiji Mutoh(AKA The Great Muta) and many others from AJPW later this year (shortly after CZW brought in Kendo Ka Shin AJPW Junior Heavyweight champion just a few weeks before ROH announced there plans to bring in AJPW stars....hmmm, do I smell a little bit of envy?) Also they have AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, The Briscoe Brothers, Samoa Joe and the Backseat Boys ... not to mention many others

One problem about ROH though, they rip off talent from around the world too. Selling tapes of every federation you can think of, and at a very high price. Not only that, they sell best of tapes of wrestlers, and never give the wrestlers any of the profits. Newest guy, Nick Mondo. The man who puts his body on the line every night he is out their in CZW or whatever fed he may be working for, and who ROH calls a "Backyarder," ROH's parent company RF Video sells tapes of his best matches for a fairly high price but gives Mondo no royalties.

RF does have a legal way of doing this though, they practically used CZW to get a collection of their videos. Like they do to all federations they come in contact with. But the worst part is, Mondo is about to (and had been planning to, and been plugging on his website long before ROH ever got the idea to do it themselves) make a best of tape himself. Not only is it cheaper, it also has Mondo doing commentary on the DVD version. He gets Royalties from it too. Goto Nick Mondos website(NickMondo.com) for more info on this tape.

To show a bit more respect to Mondo, since obviously no one else seems to want to do it. He also has a tape coming out this X-Mas season called "Unscarred: The life of Nick Mondo". This is the ultimate video for all you little kiddies to ask your parents, brothers, sisters any relative at all to pick you up. Its a documentary is based of of the sickest man of the wrestling business. Also he is one of the most athletic. He was injured a few months ago and hasn't returned to the ring for a while now. He works at a blockbuster to help pay his bills. Please pay the man the respect he deserves and pick up this video, you wont regret it. If you dont wanna buy it, at least go and check it out. And most of all dont buy from RF Video, Mondo is not the only man ripped off by these.... Scum, but also many fine independents workers, and many big names from around the world.
