Raise a glass for former ROH favourite and Kings Of Wrestling tag-teamer (alongside Claudio Castagnoli) Chris Hero. He was arguably never going to crack the glass ceiling in WWE during his multiple stints in the system, but the re-dubbed Kassius Ohno was always respected by his peers and hardcore fans alike.

Since leaving WWE in April 2020, Hero has taken some time away from wrestling before dipping a toe back in as a producer and coach for AEW from 2023 onwards. That's a role suited to the guy's skillset. He was a leading light on the independent circuit during the ROH boom period, so he has lots of knowledge to unload.
