Malakai Black paid homage to the influential former ROH World Champion Homicide. The 48-year-old veteran is known for his time in the Ring of Honor and TNA. He is also famous for his violent death matches on the independent wrestling scene. Homicide recently wrestled the last match of his nearly 30-year professional wrestling career.

In his last match, Homicide teamed with Bull James to secure a win over Afa Jr. and Mike Santana at an Outlaw Wrestling event. On the occasion of his retirement from professional wrestling, Homicide received a heartfelt message from the former AEW star Malakai Black.
