artistically you can judge things, but from just a business standpoint, the number one thing for me is how many people are coming to these events, and every one we've done, literally every single one, we've had a record crowd for that independent brand, and that's a huge honor.

The code of Honor and that horse sh-t and the concept of the sports style and sports entertainment and the concept of it all. I am the antithesis of the brand and also the fact that I refuse to sign a contract with them, and they aren’t alone in that.

Headstrong Wild Dog (guest star Rick Gonzalez) defies the Green Arrow’s orders and sets out on his own after a new drug dealer, Derek Sampson (guest star Cody Rhodes), who is terrorizing Star City.

Sampson proves more powerful than Wild Dog and it is up to the Green Arrow to go head to head with Sampson to save his teammate.

Gregory Smith directed the episode written by Ben Sokolowski & Emilio Ortega Aldrich.

“So far, everything has exceeded expectations by a great deal,” Rhodes said.

Brandi -- who's married to former WWE superstar Cody Rhodes -- has signed a deal to wrestle for TNA's Knockout Division a.k.a. FYI -- Brandi was formerly a ring announcer (not a wrestler) for WWE ...

before parting ways with the company earlier this year.

One of the last conversations I actually had with my dad about the industry was about the shape, the change and the only constant in pro wrestling is that there is no constant.

I think I have fallen into more of a villainous position in Ring of Honor because of the emphasis on the brand.
