RO&D began in mid-2003 as heels often clashing with the likes of Keiji Mutoh. Later, RO&D became faces and feuded against the Voodoo Murders. At one point, they held almost all the titles in AJPW (see Championships and accomplishments).

[edit] Trivia

• Taka Michinoku was the only Japanese member of RO&D, all the rest are gaijins (foreigners). Taiyō Kea is not considered a foreign wrestler, despite the fact that he is Hawaiian not Japanese, by some experts, however, as he trained in the AJPW dojo and has spent nearly all of his career in the promotion.
• Their rally cry was "We are RO&D ! BOO-YAA !!!".
• The stables name is generally believed to be a mistranslation of "Obsessed with roughly destroying."
