Just awesome work put on by two of Ring of Honor's very best competitors that have stayed with the promotion even to this day. Yeah, Aries had his little venture in TNA for a short while but his disdain for the actual product he was doing as "Austin Starr" wasn't cutting it and he returned and to me has always been an ROH competitor.

- Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart? - Shawn Michaels. While Bret always was the consummate professional inside the ring for the WWF putting on great match after match after match and not getting the respect he "Deserved" Michaels came in after doing his thing with Jannety and gave the WWF a new, brash, arrogant look that Bret didn't have and that was Carisma in a nutshell. Michaels while he may be quitting soon (Year from now) He has consistently been one of the WWE's best performers and when given the ability to do his own material, consistently helps out the younger talent of today get over when he is not teaming with HHH or involved in a program with the McMahon's.

- High-quality brawls or high-quality matwork? - Canvas-work. While I enjoy the high quality brawls of a hardcore street fight, the technical ability inside the middle of that ring and being able to call yourself a Wrestler appeals to me more. Anybody can hit somebody with a Chair but not anybody can do an Armdrag into an Armbar and work it effectively.

- Favorite US tag match ever? - Just off the top of my head, I'll give you one from all 3 promotions.

ROH: Motor City Machine Guns vs. The Briscoe Brothers at Goodtimes Great Memories in 07.
TNA: MCMG vs. Speed Muscle TNA Impact in June of 08
WWE: British Bulldogs vs. Hart Foundation in the late 80's

- Light-tube deathmatches - CZW's specialty. Garbage. Just for the thrill match and it isn't worth it.

- Jerry Lawler - King of Memphis because he practically owned the city. He stuck alot to his gimmick and never could really work an actual wrestling match but for what Lawler did, he was great for the psychology of the Memphis area.

- Kevin Nash or Scott Hall? - I can't stand both and wish not to chose but if I had, then I'd go with Kevin Nahs. The lesser of two evils I suppose.

- The Miz/John Morrison team - One of the better teams the WWE actually used in quite some time that brought some consistency to the WWE and actually utilize a Tag Division somewhat for a year or so.

- ROH 2009 - Growing and trying to find their way around here because of numerous injuries and face changes namely the return of Prince Nana, Jimmy Rave and Colt Cabana. Along with some new faces like Kenny King, Kenny Omega, Bobby Dempsey, Brodie, Bison Smith, Grizz, Rhett Titus, the emergence of Eddie Edwards and Tyler Black finally breaking through. ROH is growing and they need to continue on this upward path. More of a trend on storylines and characters but the matches haven't dropped off that much.

- Sid Vicious - Big Worker who has attitude and ego issues. Broken leg in a freak accident and was pushed way to fast given his size and lack of talent.

- Evolution - 2nd Best Stable ever in Wrestling History only behind 4 Horsemen because they actually elevated 2 younger stars and gave them a path to stardom which is sadly missing in todays picture.

I knwo this si your opinion and every one is entitled to it but i have to disagree with the stable option.

Behind the 4 horsemen?

NWO, DX? Common... Evolution didnt even stand close to the NWO or DX.
