- Best British wrestler ever?
It'd be a toss up between Billy Robinson and Dyno.

- Dog collar matches
My favorite stipulation match. Sadly, very few wrestlers have shown that they know how to work one. Best one was easily Piper vs Valentine.

- Raven in TNA/ROH
Raven was one of the main reasons why I got into TNA. For his time in the company, he was one of the biggest highlights. Even though his time in ROH was a lot shorter, he was part of the first true great feud in the company against CM Punk. Ironically, his dog collar match at Death Before Dishonor remains one of my favorites from the year and ROH in general.

- The Kings Of Wrestling
I assume just the team of Claudio and Hero? Great heat seekers and were able to bring something that most ROH teams couldn't to the game - real heat.

- Benoit vs Triple H matches
The matches showed just how limited Hunter's talent became after his first knee surgery. Their No Mercy 2000 match was a MOTYC while their 2004 and 2005 matches were a disappointment (Not counting the triple threats with Michaels). The fact that we got a Benoit vs Hunter PPV match in 2004 over a Benoit vs Michaels match is BS.

- Jushin Liger in WCW
One of the better wrestlers WCW had in the first half of the 90's. Pillman vs Liger remains in the league of Dyno/Tiger Mask and Guerrero/Mysterio.

- Young Jeff Hardy
Very spotty, but damn entertaining. I was a big Jeff fan back in the day when he still had speed.

- TLC matches
Extremely spotty, but fun matches. The most important thing about these matches were that the tag team titles were pushed back to the forefront. Even though not everyone will like spotfests, it's hard not to appreciate the titles being important again.

- Steve Corino
One of the best non-WWE wrestling personalities of the past decade. More than being a good wrestler, but was extremely entertaining to listen to. His ROH introductions remain some of the best in ROH history.

- The Briscoe Brothers
Before they became non-selling brawlers, they were very good wrestlers. Feud with AJ Styles/Amazing Red, Second City Saints and Aries/Strong are tag feuds I feel should be remembered more fondly than spotfest feud with Steenerico. Much like TLC, even during the spotty feud, the tag titles were the most important titles in the company. It's hard to complain when a company spotlights a title like that.
