Ring of Honor (2007–2008) , the leader of the first incarnation of the No Remorse Corps From 2005 to 2007,
Austin Aries and
Roderick Strong were one of the most prolific
tag teams in
Ring of Honor (ROH) history. Originally joining the promotion as members of the
Generation Next stable, the two remained together once the stable broke up, winning the
ROH Tag Team Championship in 2005 and making the title the ROH
World Tag Team Championship by defending it in the
United Kingdom during their reign. Their reign ended on September 16, 2006, which started a storyline, where the two began suffering a series of frustrating tag team losses. They were then chased away from the ring by
Jack Evans, another former member of Generation Next. Strong and Richards had previously teamed up in the
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) promotion, where they held the
PWG World Tag Team Championship for a day in 2006. The day after the big development, Evans tried to make peace between Aries and Strong, who both refused to listen to him, instead telling him to choose a side in the rivalry. Aries eventually accepted Evans' decision not to choose a side and announced that he was forming a new stable to go to war with the N.R.C. On February 24,
Matt Cross agreed to join Aries' new stable, which led to the first official match in the rivalry, where the two defeated Strong and Richards. Over the next weeks, the No Remorse Corps added a third member,
Rocky Romero, who had just returned to ROH from an extended stay in
Japan, while Aries' stable, now named "The Resilience", added
Erick Stevens, Strong's former protégé. Eventually, Jack Evans also joined the feud with his own stable, the Vulture Squad, but Strong and the No Remorse Corps continued dominating the rivalry between the former Generation Next members. After Richards and Romero also failed to capture the title on November 30, Strong and Romero received another shot at the Briscoe Brothers on December 29 at
Rising Above, but were again defeated in a
two out of three falls match. N.R.C. finally won the title on January 26, 2008, when Richards and Romero defeated the reigning champions,
The Age of the Fall (
Jimmy Jacobs and
Tyler Black), The Hangm3n (
B. J. Whitmer and
Brent Albright) and Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson in a four-way "Ultimate Endurance" match. With the win, all three members of N.R.C. now held titles in ROH with Strong being the
World Heavyweight Champion of ROH's sister promotion
Full Impact Pro (FIP). Richards and Romero held the title until April 12, when they were defeated by the Briscoe Brothers. On June 6, Strong and Richards entered a tournament in an attempt to regain the now
vacant ROH World Tag Team Championship, but were defeated in their first round match by Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson. Throughout the first half of 2008, ROH presented a storyline, where
Larry Sweeney made repeated attempts to purchase the No Remorse Corps into merging with his Sweet & Sour Inc. stable. where Romero had been a semi-regular for the past several years. On November 9, Richards and Romero reunited for the 2010 Super J Tag League, representing the
Chaos stable and defeating former two-time
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Apollo 55 (
Prince Devitt and
Ryusuke Taguchi) in their opening match. The two eventually made it to the finals of the tournament, where, on November 13, they were defeated by their Chaos stablemates
Gedo and
Jado. In 2011, Romero began working for NJPW more regularly, which led to him and Richards readopting the No Remorse Corps name as the name of their now full-time tag team. which built to a match on May 3 at
Wrestling Dontaku 2011, where Apollo 55 successfully defended their IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. A rematch took place on October 10 at
Destruction '11, where Richards and Romero were victorious, becoming the new IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. They made their first and only title defense a month later at
Power Struggle, defeating
Kushida and
Tiger Mask. On January 4, 2012, at
Wrestle Kingdom VI in Tokyo Dome, Richards and Romero lost the title back to Apollo 55. However, only a month later at
The New Beginning, they regained the title from Apollo 55, starting their second title reign. They were scheduled to make their first title defense on May 3 at
Wrestling Dontaku 2012, but the day before the event NJPW announced that Richards had not been able to make his flight to Japan due to a car accident, leading the promotion to stripping him and Romero of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. Following the incident, Richards did not return to NJPW, leading to Romero forming a new tag team named
