In AEW, Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia are known for being promising young performers who secured choice spots in big-time factions the Blackpool Combat Club and the Jericho Appreciation Society.

Though their respective teams couldn't be any more different in a Kayfabe sense, as the BCC is all about strengthening their wrestling abilities through strong, shoot-ish grappling, whereas the JAS don't even consider themselves professional wrestlers, instead preferring the McMahon-ian verbiage of “Sports Entertainers,” the duo have a lot in common when they actually get into the ring, as they are both young, hungry, fundamentally sound performers who know how to win matches in a variety of different ways, but did you know that the duo have actually wrestled before?

It's true, once upon a time, Yuta and Daniel Garcia duked it out in a 60-minute bout at IWTV 100 to decide who is most deserving of the Independent Wrestling Championship, a title held by the likes of Jonathan Gresham, Orange Cassidy, Kris Statlander, Warhorse, Lee Moriarty, and Alex Shelley. While that match ended in a draw, fortunately, at Ring of Honor‘s Death Before Dishonor, a rematch has been booked, and a winner will finally be decided.

Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia will settle the score at ROH's Death Before Dishonor.

In wrestling, there's nothing more impressive than a 60-minute Ironman Match, especially one that goes down to the final seconds. It shows that the booker believes that the two performers are not only capable of going the distance, which not every wrestler is, but that as the match goes on, they will not only be able to keep up their level of in-ring technical excellence but actually tell a compelling story in the length of time it takes to watch an episode of Westworld on HBO.

When Yuta and Garcia hit the ring for that fated match at IWTV 100, fittingly broadcast just down the road from Yuta's collegiate home in Williamstown, New Jersey, the duo absolutely fit that bill.

Yuta, the current champion, was coming off of big wins on AEW as a member of the Best Friends, as both a solo and tag team performer in NJPW, in Ring of Honor, and IWTV with wins over the likes of Willow Nightengale, Lee Moriarty, and Killian McMurphy whereas Garcia was coming off of his own AEW run with 2.0, pus a slew of indie wins in promotions like VxS, PPW, and Limitless, where he was the World Champion and secured massive wins over everyone from Jake Something, to JD Frake, and even Anthony Green. Though the duo looked destined for AEW full-time, their status as indie guys still willing to tussle it up in bars, barns, and bingo halls – as Jim Cornette would put it – made them fast favorites outside of the major promotions.

And yet, after going to war for 60 straight minutes, no winner was decided. The duo kicked out of a number of near falls, they grappled in and out of the ring, and in the end, the timer hit quadruple zeros before Yuta could tap out or pass out from Garcia's signature move, the Red Death. While the duo really should have wrestled again, with plenty of opportunities on cards in AEW and PWG, where Garcia is the current champion, they've been relegated to team-only matches, without so much as a Dark match to settle the score.

Fortunately, Tony Khan is a massive indie wrestling mark and decided to book the rematch himself for Ring of Honor's Death Before Dishonor, where the Pure Title will be on the line, and after three rope breaks, nothing will prevent Garcia's Red Death from taking care of business against the current champ.
