Roderick Strong & Davey Richards vs.
Austin Aries & Matt Cross



Let's take a closer look at Roderick Strong and Davey Richards, two of the best looking studs to ever form a tag team and climb in the ring together.


The hunks strut down the aisle, plenty of body oil coating their bodies.  Roderick Strong has an "RS" logo on the front of his red speedo, which probably stands for "Real Sexy."

I know Roderick doesn't have the most perfect muscular ripped body ever in the ring, but damn, there's just something about how certain wrestlers carry themselves.  You have to see him in action to see what I mean...

Roddy's partner Davey Richards really has it going on too.  Great hard body, cute face, superb wrestling skills, we are truly lucky fans!
Their opponents bust through the curtains in matching black speedos.  Matt Cross, aka M-Dogg 20, is the shorter dude with the rock hard body.  Austin Aries is the intense hunk who looks ready to bite somebody.

The bearded hunks, who call themselves "The Resiliance", stand face to face and share an intimate moment.  You can tell these two studs are into each other by the red hot body language going on here.


Meanwhile Roddy and Davey, watching from the ring, also stand too close for comfort.  They are far within the usual distance that guys stay apart.  

Their tag team is the "No Remorse Core", which is a pretty lame team name for studs like this!
The fans are eager to touch Aries and Cross, apparently not worried about getting oil all over their hands, or about possibly getting bitten by Aries.


Actually Roderick and Austin are former best friends and partners.  They dominated the Tag Team scene for years as "Generation Next", but then Roddy turned on Austin and kicked his ass on 1/27/07 at the Fifth Year Festival.
Both these studs are ready to rumble. Aries wants to prove that Roderick should have kept him as a partner, and Cross wants to prove he belongs in Ring of Honor wrestling.


The former partners build some heat by strutting and posing for a while, letting the bright lights show off their great bodies.


Roddy seems intimidated by his intense former partner, so he lets Davey Richards suffer the first attack, a huge boot to the gut.

Whoa, great pose by Richards in his white ball-huggers as Aries tries to rip his head off.  Is Aries trying to prove that Roderick should have kept him as a partner?

Matt Cross watches from the corner as his partner continues to abuse his rival in the white speedo.  Maybe Aries wants to hurt Davey Richards so he can get back with Roderick Strong.

Aries whips Davey across the ring, then Matt Cross jumps off the ropes and kicks him in his cute face.  These young hotties do have some impressive acrobatic moves!


Now Matt Cross takes his turn punishing poor Davey Richards with some stiff kicks to his leg.  Cross is a smaller guy, so this must feel degrading for big powerful Richards.

Cross drags the pretty-boy over to the ring apron, then leaps over the ropes to drop a leg across his exposed back.  Hey, that's illegal, Davey is through the ropes!


Austin Aries doesn't want to miss out on this chance to hurt Davey Richards, so he also tries to behead the hunk on the ring apron.

I think Roddy and Davey are supposed to be the heels here, but the fans love brutal moves like this no matter which team is performing them.

The dirty tactics continue as Matt Cross bends the stud across his knees, inviting his partner to jump down and attack that exposed body.

Cross catapults the helpless hottie up, just as Aries sails off the ropes and about takes his head off with a flying elbow. OUCH, poor Davey!


Wow, if you haven't seen any videos of Davey Richards, you probably should go order some.  He sure does fill out his white trunks.

Davey angrily bitches at the ref for allowing the double-teaming and at his partner Roderick for making him take the early abuse.

Davey is tired of being Austin's little bitch, so he puts on his Mud-hole Stomping boots and puts the leather to Austin's back.

Davey follows up with a hard body-slam to demonstrate his power and strength.  Austin Aries is paying the price for his brutality earlier in the match.
Both teams make a tag, and finally we get to see Roderick wrestling in his tight-ass red speedo.

Matt Cross gets a great look at the "RS" logo on the front of Roddy's trunks as he suffers a breath-taking Body Slam.


Pressing his crotch against the middle rope, Davey watches as his partner drives a deadly elbow into Matt's chest.

WOW!  Davey looks great when he's covered in sweat.  Who am I kidding -- he would look great covered in tar and feathers, peanut butter, maple syrup, anything.  He calls for Roddy to tag him in.

Matt Cross is doing a great job playing the "Baby-face in Peril", trapped in the far corner as his opponents make the tag.  Now Davey gets to take some revenge on the little hunk.

The crowd cheers for Davey Richards, they can't help themselves.  But Davey flips them off and yells "I don't need your applause, dick-heads!"  OK, so Davey and Roddy are definitely the heels!



Davey drops his thick, solid 202 pounds down across the neck of Matt Cross, totally out-matched at 170 pounds.  Do you like to watch two-on-one squash jobs?


The bad boys go old-school: Roddy places his boot on the corner pad so Davey can spike the opponent's face into it.  Classic 2-on-1 moves like this are yet another reason to love this great team!

Roderick tags in and levels M-Dogg 20 with a devastating Drop-Kick.  M-Dogg looks like an anatomy chart with that ripped physique.

Roderick taunts Austin Aries in the far corner as he slowly strangles poor Matt Cross.  And people say pro wrestling isn't erotic any more?!?
Bathed in sweat, Davey tags in and stretches out that hard little body with a Seated Ab Stretch.  Matt Cross sells the agony as Austin Aries yells encouragement.

Davey turns up the head, sadistically raking his knuckles across Matt's exposed ribs and oblique muscles.  He's strumming this poor kid's body like a guitar!

M-Dogg has been kicking ass in the pro ring with his flashy high-flying moves for about 8 years now.  But in this match, since he's smaller and new to Ring of Honor, he's playing the defeated jobber.


The heels make another quick tag, and Roddy holds poor little Matt Cross so Davey can again drill him in the mid-section.  This is the problem with having ripped abs, the other wrestlers always want to punish them!


This is out of control, they are mauling poor Matt Cross in their corner.  Roddy crushes him against the turn-buckles while Davey claws at his face!

Finally Austin Aries rescues his partner with a hot tag.  Hitching up his tight speedo, the hero prepares to lay a smack-down on the cruel cheaters.

The bearded bad-ass levels Davey Richards with a stunning clothesline.


Next Aries holds Davey's throat over the top rope and snaps his neck down across the rope.  I guess Austin knows how to fight dirty too!

Matt Cross pulls down on the top rope, causing Davey to spill out of the ring, crashing down to the floor in his white trunks.

Gritting his teeth, Davey lands like a ton of bricks on the cold floor.  He seems to be the one who takes most of the hard bumps for his team.

Austin is ready to finish this cocky hunk off.  He places Davey Richards on the top rope, then suplexes him across the ring.  OUCH, how does a cute guy like Davey Richards survive painful moves like this??

Austin then flips off the ropes in his amazing 450 Splash, which doesn't look too impressive in this photo, but trust me, it's an amazing and dangerous move.


Roderick, meanwhile, is busy working over Matt Cross on the far side of the ring.  Does he know his partner is in trouble??
Austin hooks a leg and Davey Richards is pinned. Poor Davey didn't get much help from Roderick in this match.

Finally Austin gets some revenge on his former partner by pinning Roderick's new partner.  But this feud is still far from over (Lucky us!)


Poor Matt Cross suffered some painful abuse from the cruel heels, so Austin and some other dude have to help him limp back to the dressing room with his tail between his legs.
Meanwhile Davey Richards looks very hot in the ring.  Yes, I mean hot as in "body temperature", hot as in "angry", and hot as in "sexy."   Nobody in wrestling sweats like this stud!

Roderick consoles his partner and best friend with a loving embrace.  He knows he threw poor Davey to the wolves in this match, so now he makes it up to him.
