* WouldntHitAGirl
** He was tempted to spear Veda Scott after she went off on him for shaking hands with Roderick Strong after being pinned at ''Best In The World'' 2015 and slapped him several times but hesitated long enough for Cedric Alexander to appear and hit him with the wrench, again.
** Subverted. He stopped attacking The Get Along Gang when confronted by Merica at ''Supercard Of Honor X'' but prepped for a spear after she struck him (the rest pulled her out of harms way)

!!! Chris Sabin
* AbortedArc: His and Alex Shelley's targeting of the Briscoes following Mark's injury regaining the tag team titles from Naruki Doi and Shingo, was cut short due to TNA pulling the machine guns out of ROH.

* ContinuityNod: He thinks the Addiction are a "bad influence" who bring shame to the ROH World Tag Team Titles.
* CulturalPosturing: Detroit is the greatest city in the history of modern civilization!
* GoodCounterpart: To Frankie Kazarian. Both owe their ROH returns to their tag team partners, Alex Shelley and Christopher Daniels, who both have a history of mischief making in the promotion. While Shelley has since atoned for his misdeeds and set Sabin on a better path, Daniels has relapsed under pressure and corrupted Kazarian.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Wore a mask to hinder reDRagon and draw suspicion toward The Kingdom.
* RedBaron: "The Future", and he did find success that ROH has referenced in NWA affiliates. The future was put on hold much longer in ROH itself, however, until Alex Shelley helped him win the tag team titles from The Young Bucks.

!!! Alex Shelley
* AbhorrentAdmirer: He and Chris Sabin toward Daizee Haze.
* FinishingMove: His "shell shock" is right behind the muta lock on the most borrowed finishing move list. Portia Perez, Mike Knox/Knux and Wrestling/BrayWyatt have all used it and Chinese wrestler Jun Hado's used a variation of it. Shelley, in turn, is one of many to borrow the Air Raid Crash([=WA4=]) and Shiranui(otherwise known as sliced bread #2)
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He was the first wrestler to realize Hydro was developing into more than just a goof and suggested he dump Special K for Generation Next. Jay Lethal would end up defeating Generation Next alongside Samoa Joe at ''ROH Enter the Dragon''.
* HammyHerald: To Jack Evans, "The Man Who Can Defy Gravity!"
* HostileShowTakeover: ROH Generation Next, May 22, 2004, started with them taking out the teams for the opening match, the Ring Crew Express (Dunn and Marcos), the Christopher Street Connection (Buff-E and MACE) and the Special K team of Izzy and Dixie, and generally making themselves as much the focus of attention as possible that night.
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: During the CZW feud when the CZW fans were chanting boring at his match with Bryan Danielson, he challenged one of them to get a better match out of Danielson.
* {{Mentor}}: He made his first big ROH impression with a group of young of wrestlers and a decade later, OlderAndWiser, Shelley was still bringing young wrestlers in ROH together and looking for new talents he considered worthy to join the promotion with the promise to help raise them to a new level, with, of course with hopes they will help him in his own endeavors on the way.
* {{Pun}}
-->"Would you say it was hunting season for Moose and we were in a Rush for a big game kill?"
* PutOnABus: Due to issues with TNA
* ReformedButRejected: He didn't get much help when he asked for it, which was after Generation Next got out of even his own control. Frustrated as he was, he didn't blame anyone for refusing to help him.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: When he learned that Lio Rush was canceling dates he had lined up in Germany to participate in the World Six Man Tag Tournament on ''Road To Final Battle'' Shelley canceled Rush's cancellations and got Lio replaced in the tournament with KUSHIDA, for Lio's [[ForYourOwnGood own good.]] As it turned out, Shelley was really trying to make sure Rush had the best seasoning for the final stages, as Rush was later admitted back into the competition, alongside KUSHIDA!
* SocialDarwinist: He has to remind people that when Bullet Club got started back in New Japan he and his friends were among the first people to get ambushed and beaten up by them. After four years had passed and they were still getting ambushed and beaten up by Bullet Club in ROH Shelley said he was sick of it, but he hadn't snapped yet, holding on to the belief that those who can't take it don't belong in ROH.
* SpitefulSpit: He and Roderick Strong to each other at ''Nowhere To Run'' in 2005
* TagTeam: Time Splitters with KUSHIDA
* WorthyOpponent: Remained friendly with ACH after breaking off their tag team to reunite with Sabin. Also said he sees himself in Lio Rush.
