10 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Worked For ROH
You certainly won't remember these wrestlers in Ring of Honor
8. Corey Graves
These days, Corey Graves is firmly established as one of the many voices of WWE, to the point where it’s hard to imagine the man with the handsome haircut and tattoos anywhere other than behind the broadcast table.
But, in a former life, Graves was a would-be wrestling superstar, on the cusp of a main roster call-up when he was forced to retire due to concussion issues while working in NXT.
Before NXT, Graves was known internationally as Sterling James Keenan and looked wonderfully mid-2000s emo with his long black hair, soul patch and pouty expression.
While paying his dues in the minor leagues, Graves worked here, there and everywhere, drawing CM Punk comparisons wherever he went. One of the places that provided a paycheque was Ring of Honor, which is where he worked from 2003 to 2009.
But what might sound like an impressive six-year run on paper was anything but in reality. Sterling James Keenan was not some Ring of Honor superpower or anything like that, rather someone who would occasionally be drafted in for the odd shot, more often than not to put someone else over.
So while he cropped up sporadically for a while, the most matches he worked in a calendar year was three (in 2005), and those were strictly by-the-numbers affairs.
