Prince Nana's ROH Legacy
But who exactly is Prince Nana? He rose to prominence in Ring of Honor (ROH), joining the promotion during its early days.
He became known as the leader of The Embassy, a faction that included original members Jimmy Rave and John Walters. After a brief departure in 2006, Nana returned to ROH in 2008, where he continued to manage The Embassy, which featured notable names such as Tommaso Ciampa and Claudio Castagnoli at various points.
In 2022, following Tony Khan's purchase and relaunch of Ring of Honor, Prince Nana made a triumphant return to the promotion at Death Before Dishonor. This time, he formed The Mogul Embassy, a faction that boasts talents like Brian Cage and The Gates of Agony.
In sum, Prince Nana's dance has not only become a viral sensation but has also added a unique and entertaining element to Swerve Strickland's entrances, making it a memorable part of the wrestling world's landscape. As fans continue to embrace the dance, it's clear that Prince Nana's creative spark has left an indelible mark on the industry.
