Obeying the Code of Honor?
I've been watching a couple of old ROH DVD's and it's dealing with Christopher Daniels and the Prophecy. Daniels gimmick at this point was that he didn't shake hands because he didn't believe in the 'Code of Honor'. The question is, did Daniels ever obey the code of honor, and if he did when and did they make a big deal out of it?

He finally did at the 100th show after his match with Claudio Castagnoli.I do recall the commentators making a big deal out of it. This was also the show that claudio joined up with Chris Hero and team czw.

What he said. Essentially they played it up as Claudio being the first guy in ROH Daniels respected enough, etc. Which made it a bigger slap in the face to ROH when Claudio turned on them. Man, that CZW feud was done well.

What is the Code of Honor exactly? For those who don't follow ROH.

Quote:
The primary way of setting ROH apart from other promotions was the "Code of Honor": a set of rules dictating how wrestlers were supposed to conduct themselves during matches. The Code of Honor was intended to infuse Ring of Honor's matches with a feel similar to Japanese professional wrestling. Initially, there were five "Laws" in the Code of Honor, which were mentioned at some point during each ROH home release. It was considered a "moral requirement" to follow these rules. They were (usually in this order):
  1. You must shake hands before and after every match.
  2. No outside interference -- no interfering in others' matches or having others interfere on your behalf.
  3. No sneak attacks
  4. No harming the officials.
  5. Do not get yourself disqualified
The Code of Honor (especially its first three rules) was used principally to help heels get over quickly. The first rule was especially applicable to Christopher Daniels, who was pushed as the promotion's first major heel. Daniels and his faction, The Prophecy, did not believe in the Code of Honor, refusing to shake anyone's hand. The fourth and fifth rules were to emphasize ROH's match finishes, the vast majority of which resulted in 'honest' pins, submissions, or knockouts. On the rare occasion that a match did end with outside interference, a "ref bump", or some other traditional heel scenario, it was met with a much more visceral (negative) fan reaction than would be seen elsewhere in the wrestling world. In the early days of the promotion, it was even suggested that getting disqualified in a match may result in that wrestler never appearing in ROH again.
In early 2004, ROH's booker, Gabe Sapolsky, began to feel that the Code of Honor had run its course [8]. Wrestlers were no longer required to follow it, allowing for more dramatic, explosive, and over-the-top match endings. This was accepted at that point due to the stars the promotion had already established, and the trust of the loyal fans it had won. The Code of Honor eventually re-appeared -- revamped -- as three rules:
  1. Shake hands before and after the match -- if you respect your opponent.
  2. Keep the playing field level.
  3. Respect the officials.

Since he left RoH as a regular in '04, it looks like he's been with bouncing between independents mainly in the Northeast. His last three appearances, according to OWW, are:

Quote:
December 8, 2007--Jersey All Pro Wrestling: Sonjay Dutt defeated Xavier in Rahway, New Jersey ...
January 19, 2008--Jersey All Pro Wrestling: Xavier defeated Sonjay Dutt in Jersey City, New Jersey
February 16, 2008--Jersey All Pro Wrestling: Teddy Hart defeated Xavier and Kenny Omega in a 3-WAY ..

Although I would say his career highlight so far is:

May 7, 2007 - RAW: Jim Duggan & Eugene defeated Xavier & Scotty Charisma in a match taped for HEAT..
