[edit] Ring of Honor

Smokes debuted in ROH in early 2003 as a street thug supporting Homicide, a face at the time, in his feud with Steve Corino and his heel stable called The Group. He appeared in the crowd with other street thugs in the weeks before ROH 1st Anniversary Show, Smokes' in-ring debut. From then on, Smokes functioned as Homicide's cornerman, engaging in a feud with Low Ki over whether Smokes' street lifestyle "belonged in ROH" (ironically, Smokes would later manage Ki). Until Homicide's heel turn in the spring of 2004, Smokes was an entertaining obnoxious face at ringside, spouting such catchphrases as "Yeah yeah yeah!" "Oh yeah!" (said with a distinctive growl) and "BRRRRRRAT" (with the rolling R's), mimicking the sound of automatic gunfire. Now since Homicide's heel turn (and Smokes' coordinating turn), he viciously insults audience members at ringside, shouts more violent catchphrases, and freely interferes in matches.

[edit] The Rottweilers

Main article: The Rottweilers

In the fall and winter of 2003, Smokes assembled a face stable called The Rottweilers. Its original members were Homicide, Grim Reefer, Slugger, and Benny Blanco. Other than Homicide, who was already a well-established star with the company, no one from this first incarnation of the Rottweilers really caught on with fans, and the stable was quietly depushed. When the Havana Pitbulls debuted in ROH in the spring of 2004, they joined forces with Homicide and Smokes, now heels, and reformed the Rottweilers. They were soon joined by Low Ki. This heel version of the stable has proven quite resonant with fans and exists to this day (although Ki has left ROH).
