In short, the matches weren't done so much to sell tickets in Tampa, but sell to the hardcore fanbase of the time that also bought ROH DVD's and would get advertisements on the ROH website for FIP DVD's as well, including people they knew Homicide also just retired a couple of weeks ago not due to any direct injuries, but because doctors found a cyst on his brain. Putting that aside, Homicide's actually a pretty underrated wrestler. He was one of the best guys during the peak of the ROH era and by time he actually won the ROH World Champion off Danielson in 2006 was probably the most over guy on a roster that included Nigel, Claudio, Christopher Daniels, and Sami Zayn. He's probably most well-known for his run in TNA w/ LAX where they did have some great matches, especially a late-era (2017-18) feud w/ his original partner Hernandez against the new LAX of Ortiz & Santana. Perhaps more importantly, he's trained people tons of current names on the indy scene especially in the New York injury and has helped the careers of guys like Santana and Eddie Kingston. Ironically, and in an only in wrestling thing, a guy named Homicide is probably among the most loved and respected people among basically modern-day independent wrestlers and wrestlers of his era. The only reason his retirement match wasn't a bigger deal was the overall dip in indy wrestling and the fact it was because of the discovery of the cyst, not a planned one.
