Initially, The Rottweilers were Homicide, Julius Smokes, Slugger, Grim Reefer, Bison, and Benny Blanco.
That night, Lethal was the victim of a Cop Killa / Ghetto Stomp combination that injured his neck and put him out of action.
When Lethal returned, he wrestled singles matches against Homicide and Low Ki respectively, but couldn't beat either man.
At The Homecoming, Homicide, Low Ki, and Ricky Reyes defeated Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, and James Gibson in a six man tag match.
Homicide said he wanted a match with Steve Corino, a shot at the ROH World Championship, and the reinstatement of Low Ki.
Homicide was set to face Corino in a Fight Without Honor on November 4, but Cornette would not allow a fair match.
Cornette stated that while Corino could do anything he wanted to in the match, if Homicide used any weapons he would be disqualified and lose his title shot at Final Battle.
Homicide had anticipated this, and brought Konnan, his partner from The Latin American Xchange stable in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (who got booed out of Ring of Honor in 2002), to ROH to deal with Cornette.
In a unanimous decision, the fans fired Cornette, who was then dragged out of the building by ROH security, giving Homicide a fair fight against Steve Corino.
At Final Battle 2006, Homicide got his title shot for the ROH World Championship and would have to win or he would quit Ring of Honor.
Earlier in the evening, Adam Pearce, still angry over Jim Cornette being fired, vowed to prevent Homicide from winning the world title.
Homicide then hit a lariat on Danielson and scored the pinfall, winning the ROH World Championship in his hometown of New York City.
On May 3, 2007, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling pulled Homicide from future Ring of Honor shows when ROH announced they would start to run pay-per-views, effectively disbanding the Rottweilers.
