Updated from the Conquest shows. Finally had enough bad matches to make a top 5 worst... it is safe to say that if I never see BCB in a ROH ring again it will be too soon.

ACH is killing it in my Top 10, as the Joe match takes my #10 spot. On the other end, Mark Briscoe vs. Beer City Bruiser takes #5 in the Bottom 5.

I actually really like BCB, but that wasn't the same guy as I saw in the TPT. That guy had some good moves, a strong personality, good heel performance and seemed more athletic than he looked. I saw none of that in this match.

After this week's TV, Lethal/Ciampa takes my #8 spot and probably could've made higher if it weren't for Ciampa's really unfortunate handspring botch that killed the crowd for a few minutes.

With that, my current Best Possible Match isn't really possible anymore, as it's ACH vs. Tommaso Ciampa.

I can imagine myself being in the vast minority, but Sabin/O'Reilly from this week's TV takes my #9 spot. Great heel work from Sabin, this guy seems like he's going to be a very enjoyable addition to the roster. Great plucky babyface performance from O'Reilly and they both brought the intensity, as well as a hot crowd.

The match reminded me a lot of Cole/Kyle BITW 12 in some regards. I was a fan of it as well. One of the best episodes of TV all year between it and the El Patron Trios Match.

After Conquest Tour: Hopkins and WOTW N1, Cole/AJ and Strong/KUSHIDA take my #7 and #8 spots respectively. O'Reilly/Lethal had a spot at #9 before being knocked out of the Top 10 by those matches.

ODB vs. Truth Martini enters #4 of the Bottom 5.

The Best Possible Match is now ACH vs. Tommaso Ciampa vs. AJ Styles

Roddy vs. KUSHIDA is my new MOTY or ROH, with Bullet Club vs. Kingdom right behind it.

After Road to BITW: Amarillo, Romantic Touch vs. Dalton Castle takes the #5 spot in my Bottom 5. Which sucks, because I love Dalton but this had a dead crowd, felt like it went on forever and, of course, Romantic Touch just sucks as usual.

After a couple months without change to the Top 10, Lethal/Strong's one-hour draw takes my #9 spot. Roddy surpasses AJ and ACH for most matches in the Top 10, with 4, but the Best Possible Match remains a threeway between them.

Here is your winner and my NEW #1 Match of 2015...Lethal vs. Roddy - The Rematch from this week's TV.

There are matches that are too great to be on TV for free, and then there's THIS. A true gift from ROH. If they can work out a deal, I would LOVE for Roddy to be the next World champ.

After Reloaded Tour: California, I have a new WMOTY in Shaheem Ali vs. Brutal Bob. Clumsy, forgettable, pointless, boring, no one came out good and wasn't even the funny kind of bad. Just bad.

Matt Jackson vs. Matt Taven - Reloaded Tour: Lockport takes the #2 Worst Match of the Year spot on my list. Technically sound, from the standpoint that there were no botches and the wrestling itself was fine. But I don't think any other match has infuriated me so much this year. We already saw the exact same awful booking the previous show, only this time you've got 2 stooges instead of 1. AND WHY THE FUCK IS ADAM COLE A STOOGE TO BEGIN WITH?!
