!!! "Backbreaking Tropes":
* BreakupBreakout: He's gone from the Florida independent scene to success in ROH, while Sedrick remains in that same scene in relative obscurity.
**A rather weird case, as every member of Generation Next has seen a good deal of success after leaving the stable.
* EveryYearTheyFizzleOut - Before he won the World Title at Glory By Honor IX, Strong was 0-15 in ROH World Title matches
* MadeOfWin: After winning the TV title from Jay Lethal at Showdown in the Sun Day 2, he became the second ROH Triple Crown Champion.
* RealSongThemeTune:
** Strictly in ROH, he's used Music/{{Pantera}}'s "5 Minutes Alone" and Music/MarilynManson's {{Cover|Version}} of [[Music/DepecheMode "Personal Jesus"]], the latter while teaming with Aries.
** He's used Music/{{Korn}}'s "Did My Time" in ROH, FIP and IWA Mid-South
* RedBaron: The Messiah of the Backbreaker.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters - He formed the No Remorse Corps after he and Davey Richards attacked Austin Aries.
