History/career
RO&D began in AJPW in mid-2003 as heels, often clashing with the likes of Keiji Mutoh. Taka Michinoku was the only Japanese member of RO&D, with all the rest being gaijins (foreigners). Some experts do not consider Taiyō Kea to be gaijin, despite the fact that he is Hawaiian, because he trained in the AJPW dojo and has spent nearly all of his career in the promotion. 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).
Later, members of the stable would rejoin in Noah, with D'Lo Brown and Buchanan capturing the GHC Tag Team Championship on one occasion.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or career:
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
