Special K was a heel professional wrestling stable in Ring of Honor. They were billed as "rich kid ravers" from Webster Hall, New York City who had everything handed to them by their rich families. They had a spotfest style, performing many high flying and high risk moves with no regards to their own bodies. The name is an allusion to the drug ketamine.
As part of this gimmick many Special K members were said to have bright futures ahead of them, but they wasted all of their parents' money on drugs rather than education. During shows, Special K held raves inside the arenas, and members were often seen drinking clear liquid from water bottles as well as cough syrup and cold medicine. Special K seemingly had no respect for anything, especially ROH's Code of Honor, and usually appeared buzzed during their matches.
When ROH produced joint shows with Jersey All Pro Wrestling, members of the group who also competed for JAPW (Izzy, Angledust, Elax, Lit, Yeyo) wrestled under the Special K gimmick but would use their regular JAPW ring names.
This stable began in Ring of Honor during a six man tag team match at Crowning a Champion when Dixie and Brian XL turned on their partner Black Gordman Jr. and walked out on him. At the next show, Honor Invades Boston, the new stable, now called Special K and including Izzy and Elax, debuted and attacked Amazing Red and Quiet Storm. This attack turned into a six man tag match against The S.A.T. and Chris Devine, where Special K would show off their high risk moves. At Glory By Honor, after Special K slipped some drugs into Joey Matthews' drink, he became addicted and joined the group. Special K would continue to gain members, including Harry Slugger, who was their bodyguard. They competed mainly in scramble matches, which best fit their fast paced style. At ROH's One Year Anniversary Show, Special K was in the main event, which was also a scramble match.
