On February 12th, 2006, Strong and Aries were scheduled for a match at the Against All Odds pay-per-view. However, they were also booked for an ROH show earlier in the day. TNA management asked them to cancel their other booking, so they could make sure to be on time. Strong and Aries, though, wanted to keep their word and attempted to make both events.

After finishing up their ROH match, they had to fly out to catch the pay-per-view. They ended up arriving a few hours late, but still made it in time for their match, where they put over The Naturals. This was not good enough for TNA management, and the two were made an example of and suspended for a couple months.

By the time they got back, their push was gone and Strong was released not long after.

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
