4. His PWG Success

While most fans associate Roderick Strong with Ring of Honor, he’s done a lot of great work in Pro Wrestling Guerilla as well. In fact, he spent over 11 years in the company, and became their World Champion when he defeated Kyle O’Reilly on December 12, 2014. He went on to hold the belt for 449 days.

That run is currently the third longest in the history of the company. Only Kevin Steen with 469 days, and Adam Cole with 538 days have gone on longer.

Strong has also has held the company’s tag belts on three occasions with different partners. One run was with TNA wrestler Davey Richards, another was with Lucha Underground’s Jack Evans and another run with the belts came alongside Neville. That’s some pretty solid company to be in.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
