I was shocked about Low Ki too......
Aries..... thats a little different.
Looked back at ROH history during that time when all them guys was there... when Aries was there.... Bryan couldnt beat him or win the belt.
Aries was main eventing and Bryan was mid carding and chasing.... just wasnt good enough to take that "brass ring" from him.
Also if you look at one of them WWE Bryan docs, Bryan on record himself basically said that he only became the man in ROH when so many more talented guys left the organization.
HIS WORDS.
Also... back to the "Low Ki" thing.
Come on breh... please lets not WWE History revise or white wash this.
I get it... Kaval flopped hard in the WWE (they kinda of screwed him but its whatever)
But lets not pretend he wasnt that dude back in 2002-2006.
Him, Joe, Punk, Nigel, AJ Styles, Homicide and a few other were the biggest names in the indies back then. Dude was having some amazing matches with a lot of the talent of that time (from ROH, to TNA, to Japan).
shyt go back and do the history on how in ROH The Rottweilers began... its definitely related to DB and it was a really cool feud
