He recalls when he got the ask to work the first Supercard of Honor for TK, and how quickly after that he received an offer to return fulltime! Bobby talks about his start in wrestling and specifically with ROH in 2003, and some of his favorite matches from his early days including Bryan Danielson vs Jushin Ligre, Samoa Joe vs Kenta Kobashi, Bryan Danielson vs Nigel McGuinness in Liverpool, England, and ROH’s big show at MSG in 2019.
