codyrhodesFormer WWE wrestler Cody Rhodes has been doing okay for himself after leaving the pro wrestling company earlier this year. Rhodes has competed in independent promotions Evolve, PWG, and TNA, and appeared as villain Derek Sampson on an episode of Arrow, "A Matter of Trust," in October. But perhaps Rhodes' most anticipated debut is for Ring of Honor, believed to be the second largest pro wrestling organization in the United States.

Fans have known that Rhodes would appear at the company's Final Battle PPV on December 2, but his opponent has remained a secret… until now:

If you read Bleeding Cool's WWE Survivor Series Primer For Non Wrestling Fans earlier today, you know that there's a lot of similarities between pro wrestling and comics. And just as there's a whole world of diverse and exciting comics outside the Marvel/DC superhero industrial complex, so is it true with pro wrestling and its thriving indie promotions.

Ring of Honor's events are available in iPPV, which is a fancy way of saying you can stream them over the internet. For more information on that, head to this link.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
