ROH Fans Top Matches/Moments So Far This Year.

[Duckman]

They've been voting over on the ROH discussion boards and have come up with a list of the best matches and moments for the first 6 months of the year.

As someone who owns the DVD's they've mentioned I can confirm the results are pretty much with what I would have gone with.

Anyway, for anyone interest here are the results:

Best Overall Match
1) Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries from "Rising Above"
2) Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson from "6th Anniversary Show"
3) Nigel McGuinness vs. Tyler Black from "Take No Prisoners"
4) Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino & Genki Horiguchi vs. CIMA, Dragon Kid & Ryo Saito from "Supercard Of Honor III"
5) Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. Naruki Doi & Masato Yoshino from "Dragon Gate Challenge II"

Best Singles Match
1) Nigel McGuinness vs. Tyler Black from "Take No Prisoners"
2) Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries from "Rising Above"
3) Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson from "6th Anniversary Show"
4) Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries from "Supercard Of Honor III"
5) El Generico vs. Kota Ibushi "Return Engagement"

Best Tag Team Match
1) Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. Naruki Doi & Masato Yoshino from "Dragon Gate Challenge II"
2) Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. Shingo & BxB Hulk from "Supercard Of Honor III"

Best Show On DVD
1) "Supercard Of Honor III" in a landslide
2) "6th Anniversary Show"
3) "Take No Prisoners"
4 Tie) "Rising Above"
4 Tie) "A New Level"

We also asked the fans what the best moments of 2008 are. Here are just some answers:

"Mark Briscoe's balcony dive from Supercard Of Honor III"
"Nigel's lariat to Aries that flipped him off the ropes and out of the ring (Rising Above)"
"The Roderick Strong vs Erick Stevens no contest match/brawl at Supercard Of Honor 3"
"Ibushi's matrix kip up, high kick, german suplex combo, on Generico from Return Engagement."
"Ending to Briscoes/AOTF at Supercard of Honor 3"
"Chop Wars - Stevens/Shiozaki/Strong - A New Level"
"Tyler Black's heroic performance at Take No Prisoners"
"Necro's Entrance at the Hammerstein Ballroom"
"Jacobs crying in Chicago after he refused to stab Lacey"
"The end of the Transform dvd brawl where Necro gets superplexed to the floor kinda followed by Jack hitting a first time in ROH springboard 630 for the win."
"Brent Albright's destruction of SnS @ Hammerstein"
"Stevens defeating Strong for the FIP Title at Final Battle 2007"
"The beginning of A New Level from when the lights go out and the count-down starts through the staff walking out. Gave me chills watching it on DVD yesterday"
"Austin Aries' suicide dive into Nigel McGuinness at Rising Above"
"ROH fans' reception to Nigel McGuinness and the possibility of his dropping the title - Final Battle 2007"
"Morishima doing the azucar/Rick Rude dance at Southern Navigation"
"Roddy hitting the Gibson Driver on Necro through the table at 6th Anni"
"Aries countering the Go Flasher into Horns of Aries @ 6th Anniversary show, beautiful. Also Nigel/Dragon Promo at 6th Anny."
"Tyler Black vs. Bryan Danielson ending from Breakout."

Note: Fans who voted for Nigel McGuinness vs. Tyler Black as "Best Singles Match" used their "Best Tag Team Match" selection for "Best Overall Match" so that is why McGuinness vs. Black won "Best Singles Match" while McGuinness vs. Austin Aries won "Best Overall Match." This shows the parity in the quality of these bouts.

Peace
