Only one other person in ROH has ever had a longer run to their world title than Roderick Strong. He joined the company in September of 2003, and didn’t win the World Championship until September 11, 2011, taking him seven years to capture the gold. Only Jay Briscoe with a 12 year journey to the top eclipses him.

Also of note is that Strong won the ROH World Championship from Tyler Black (Seth Rollins) in the Architect’s final match with the company at Glory By Honor IX with Terry Funk as the special referee.

Perhaps Seth will finally get his revenge if Strong is called up to the main roster.

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
