Best Moments of ROH Year Two

[Board Admin]

Hey Guys, James here, asking you all, what were some of the best moments of the ROH in Year Two? I am curious as to your thoughts of the best moments that I have put on for you. Here are some examples.

- The Rise of Randy Orton holding the championship for one straight year

- The Rise of Revolution trying to take over ROH

- The Tag Team Champions Aries and Black being pushed into the main event

- The problem's over Aries and Black and the Honor Rumble in 2010

- The rise of the Pure Championship and Chris Benoit beating Nigel McGuinness for the belt in December

- Yoshi Tatsu winning the FIP World Title after beating Big Show

- Austin Aries winning the Honor Rumble in 2010

- The 450 Splash into the RKO at Survival of the Fittest, October 2010

- Abyss returns and faces Orton in a Chained Fury Match


Those are just some ideas that I can remember off of the top of my head, curious as to what you guys think. Also, what was of course your favorite match series or just match in general? Here again are some examples

- Matt Hardy/Sheamus

- Abyss/RVD

- Abyss/Orton

- McGuinness/Benoit

- Orton/Aries/Black/Daniels

- Low-Ki/Triple H

- Aries and Black/Beer Money

- Aries and Black/ Kings of Wrestling

- The Nine Team Gauntlet match at Man Up in September 2010

- Aries/Orton

- Sheamus/Show

- Taz/Triple H

- Age of the Fall/Japanese Invasion

- Orton/Williams

- Matt Hardy/Sheamus -This is where Hardy dropped the belt I believe and kind of fell off the map at this point, kind of sad since I was diggin' the Hardy Character.

- Abyss/RVD - Abyss kills RVD, you can't go wrong with that.

- Abyss/Orton - After building and building and building Abyss shows himself to Randy though how has he NOT dethroned Orton yet?

- McGuinness/Benoit - Shock of the year as NWA Bred Benoit walks away with the Pure Title, I still loved this match since I had to 'call' it and I was physically exhausted afterwards.

- Orton/Aries/Black/Daniels - We just had this match and my head hurts just from all of it, this was THE Moment that Orton took his balls and laid them out for everyone to see, making him a 12 month champion even if the real story was A vs. B.


- Low-Ki/Triple H - This was a pretty decent concept, I believe Ki defeated Trips and earned himself a shot at Orton's title or this came RIGHT after his bout but this was a sneaky way to invest me in Low Ki using Trips since of course the focus would be on him.

- Aries and Black/Beer Money - ALL Of us thought that Beer Money would walk away with the belts that night, but no you gave us one hell of a tag match and A/B walk away the champions...Money got screwed.

- Aries and Black/ Kings of Wrestling - They returned at the Guantlet match and how they were't able to walk away champs then was a surprise. Now that they were fresh this was probably the best tag match ROH had since you spent months building up A and B and KoW have a huge reputation as is. Again how A/B walked away champions I'm not sure.

- The Nine Team Gauntlet match at Man Up in September 2010
IN-Fucking-Sane!

- Aries/Orton - sadly Low Ki's match was better than this one but this was what 'started' the Black/Aries rivalry since Aries eliminated Black in the Honor Rumble, oh yes, I remember.

- Sheamus/Show - Nice to see Shaemus get his balls back.

- Taz/Triple H - After I WANT to say 9 months teasing and teasing and teasing we FINALLY get this match and it NEARLY stole the show with Triple H geting the win. Tazz was so fucking close too! One of my favorite matches.

- Age of the Fall/Japanese Invasion - Kind of sad to see the Japanesse Invasion get sunk, mainly since I'm partial but it happens, sadly and ironically, both factions split up promply after this fued ended.

- Orton/Williams - Doug E Doug Williams tried, I think he came the closest to winning the title on both occasions though not Orton's strongest performance, more so Williams.

For me the main thing that you have been able to do is take the best sides of Randy Orton an present the package that is the perfect Orton. The Orton that can't be beaten. His reign has been incredible and unpredictable. Yes he needs help some of the time but right now he is THE man for ring of honour and I feel like the story of Orton is just beginning.

Leading on from that I would have to say the fact you transition from one faction war into another, and made it different enough to keep the interest of the people. We are now in the middle of the ultimate faction with Revolution. It was very interesting to see that you and I had the same kinda ideas at the same time as far as a super heel trying to take over the company. But what I like about your story is that Orton comes so close...and then losses out. That way interest is kept and it can keep building. I think you want to stay away from him taking the company as that will be seen as somewhat coping what I did, despite you starting first and still going hehe. But the fact that you have been able to build up all year, blow off and still keep this going is amazing. And this feud is with so many men that it can keep going for a long time. Randy Orton and the Revoltion war are here to stay.

I have enjoyed the way you have used Abyss. You have used him as an attraction. When his music hits it's a mark out moment and you know buisness is set to pick up. The smartest way to use this time of guy.

The tag team tournament, the focus on the tag team division, the months long build to that, the near year long reign and then the slow build to the break up was by far one of the best things you have done. It made two main event stars, made tag team wrestling THE main event of ROH and gave you that alternate to our stuff. Simply excelent.

I really did like the dark Matt Hardy character...shame this worls Hardy had to turn you off to him so much. His match with Shemus was a brutal highlight of this past year.

The two best matches for me would be the Fatal Four Way at the 2nd year anniversary and the Tag Gauntlet. Amazing.

Other worthy mensions go to the building of Big Show, Sheamus, The Pure title with both Nigel and Benoit and the feud between Taz and the Game.

Can't wait to see what is next for Ring of Honor the James edition.
