Homicide Joins the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame
“The Notorious 187” Homicide may best be known by wrestling fans today for his extensive work in Ring of Honor. Prior to the company’s recently announced closure, he found considerable success within its walls. In December 2006, he won the ROH World Championship, besting current All Elite Wrestling star Bryan Danielson at Final Battle for the gold. Homicide would go on to hold the title for 56 days, successfully defending it against such names as Chris Hero and Samoa Joe. Most recently, he was an ROH World Tag Team Champion alongside fellow VLNCE UNLTD member Chris Dickinson, the duo holding the gold for a total of 61 days.
Another organization Homicide has been linked to over the years is Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, now known as IMPACT Wrestling. During his various stints with the company in question, he was part of The Latin American Xchange (LAX) in its various forms. In LAX, Homicide found allies ranging from the powerhouse Hernandez to tag team specialists Santana and Ortiz, the latter of whom AEW fans will be familiar with. Throughout his time in IMPACT, Homicide won 3 tag team titles, each alongside Hernandez, and captured the X-Division Championship,
As his Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame induction would suggest, Homicide was both successful and influential on the independent level as well. He makes regular appearances at GCW events, his most recent being a showdown with Minoru Suzuki at this past September’s Get Lost Alot. Other organizations Homicide has worked for include Combat Zone Wrestling and Jersey All Pro Wrestling; in the latter, he captured the JAPW Tag Team and Heavyweight Championships each on 7 occasions. Due to Homicide’s various accomplishments, the ones detailed here being only a few, he is a more than suitable candidate for the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame.
