Dabei handelt es sich um den ehemaligen MMA Fighter Ben \u201cAction\u201d Ortiz.<\/p>\n<p>Das besagte Top Prospect Tournament 2016 wird bekanntlich am 09. Januar 2016 in Charlotte (Concord), North Carolina starten und am 06. Februar 2016 in Nashville, Tennessee enden. Der Gewinner des besagten Tournaments erh\u00e4lt einen ROH Vertrag.<\/p>\n<p>Nachfolgend alle bisherigen Top Prospect Tournament Gewinner im \u00dcberblick:<br \/>\n<strong>2011 \u2013 Mike Bennett<br \/>\n2013 \u2013 Matt Taven<br \/>\n2014 \u2013 Hanson<br \/>\n2015 \u2013 Donovan Dijak<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hier die Original-Meldung von Ring Of Honor:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>There are very few men that command attention when they enter a room like \u201cAction\u201d Ortiz. At 6\u20191\u201d, 330 lbs, Ortiz made his professional wrestling debut on February 2, 2014 at National Pro Wrestling Day and has been using a winning combination of speed, power, and surprising agility to defeat opponents across the country.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>As a mixed martial artist, Ortiz has a winning record in cage and Muai Thai competition and was the very first graduate of Tommy Dreamer\u2019s House of Hardcore school. Dreamer has been impressed by his premier student. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of Ben \u201cAction\u201d Ortiz being in ROH top prospect tournament. That tournament has produced some of the better in ring talents in wrestling,\u201d Dreamer told ROHWrestling.com.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dreamer did not shy away from conjuring up comparisons to some of the all-time greats: \u201cBen has a MMA background and has fought in several kick boxing fights. He is the real deal. Ben reminds me of Bam Bam Bigelow and Samoa Joe. Given the right platform Ben will be the next big thing in the wrestling business.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Ortiz, with his MMA background, presents a nightmare match-up for the other seven competitors in the Top Prospect Tournament. At 330 lbs, Ortiz has displayed that he is as light on his feet as some of the world\u2019s best cruiserweights while displaying power and explosiveness seen in stars like ROH legend Takeshi Morishima. This well-rounded skill set makes Ortiz a huge mountain to climb for any competitor big, small, strong, or fast.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Ardent fans of Ring of Honor may recognize Ortiz as part of the gauntlet that B.J. Whitmer set for his young boy Colby Corino back in June at Terminal 5. While Ortiz ultimately did not compete that evening, Ortiz\u2019s abilities have caught the eye of Whitmer, ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuiness, and many other ROH officials who believe Ortiz is among the odds on favorites to win the Top Prospect Tournament and secure a ROH contract!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Ring of Honor Wrestling Presents<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em> WINTER WARRIORS TOUR<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em> Saturday, January 9th 2016<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em> Cabarrus Events Center<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em> 4751 NC Hwy 49 North &#8211; Concord, NC 28025<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em> 5:30pm Doors Open \/ 7:00pm bell time<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>(Quelle: ROH)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ring Of Honor hat nun den ersten Teilnehmer vom Top Prospect Tournament 2016 offiziell best\u00e4tigt&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Erster Teilnehmer am ROH Top Prospect Tournament 2016 offiziell best\u00e4tigt","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[126],"tags":[],"post_badge":[],"class_list":["post-79030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-us-independent"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","covernews-slider-full":"","covernews-slider-center":"","covernews-featured":"","covernews-medium":"","covernews-medium-square":""},"author_info":{"info":["WrestlingCorner"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/category\/news\/worldwide\/us-independent\/\" rel=\"category tag\">US-Independent<\/a>","tag_info":"US-Independent","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2gB8Z-kyG","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79030"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79030\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79033,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79030\/revisions\/79033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79030"},{"taxonomy":"post_badge","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrestlingcorner.de\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_badge?post=79030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
