Ross Jordan

Ross Jones is a retired Indian-English professional wrestler, better known by his ring names RJ Singh and Ross Jordan. He is best known for his work with International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom (IPW:UK) and Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA), where he competed in the flyweight division.

Professional wrestling career

Jones came through the FWA Academy (FWA:A) where he was originally trained from the start of 2001, then onto FWA London, before making his debut in November of the same year in a match against Hade Vansen. It took several months following Ross Jordan's debut for him to return to the ring, starting 2002 fresh with a number of events for the FWA:A, as well as All Star Promotions.

In the summer of 2002, Ross Jordan made his debut for Phoenix Promotions, competing on various holiday camp events. It was there that the original feud between Ross Jordan and Stixx began, with several one-on-one contests taking place, and even tag team contests which saw both wrestlers on the same team.

Jordan River

The Jordan River (in traditional English River Jordan) (Hebrew: נְהַר הַיַּרְדֵּן‎ nehar hayarden; Arabic: نَهْر الْأُرْدُنّ‎ nahr al-urdun) is a 251-kilometre (156 mi)-long river in West Asia flowing to the Dead Sea. Israel and the West Bank border the river to the west, while the Golan Heights and Jordan lie to its east. Both Jordan and the West Bank take their names from the river.

The river has a major significance in Judaism and Christianity and, to a more moderate degree, Islam, as the site where the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land and where Jesus of Nazareth was baptised by John the Baptist.

Jordan (Bishop of Poland)

Jordan (died in 982 or 984) was the first Bishop of Poland from 968 with his seat, most probably, in Poznań. He was an Italian or German.

Most evidence shows that he was missionary bishop subordinate directly to the Pope. He arrived in Poland, probably from Italy or the Rhineland, in 966 with Doubravka of Bohemia to baptise Mieszko I of Poland. After the death of Jordan until 992 the throne of the Bishop of Poland was vacant, or there was a bishop of unknown name (the first theory is more probable). His successor, from 992, was Unger.
