This isn't a year-in-review category here, but something I've put some thought into.
If you asked me in June it was KUSHIDA, but in taking the whole year into account, I could make a strong case that Lio Rush had the best year on TV for ROH.
The TPT featuring a **** match with Punisher Martinez (plus the other two rounds, which were good), the Dijak match, the tag with Jay White vs the Briscoes, and the Gresham match standout.
The ACH match was unfortunately pretty short.
Truthfully Lethal had two huge ones in O'Reilly and the Cabana rematch, but I kind of like the quality of depth Lio put together.
Who else would you nominate?

Lethal is my pick and Rush had a great year but...
If Jay White, KAMAITACHI, or KUSHIDA had larger bodies of work, they'd be there, too.

I might have to agree. Lio Rush did have a great body of work this year on television.

Oh, wow, I completely forgot about that match. That was pretty great wasn't it?Jay Lethal's Hair wrote: The TPT featuring a **** match with Punisher Martinez
Lio is pretty special. He really makes the 4-10 minute match format work so well, like many of the X-Division wrestlers did a decade ago, and that's what I think this category really rewards.
I think some runners up could be Jonathan Gresham (whom was a treat every time), Roderick Strong, KUSHIDA, Kamaitachi, The Briscoes, and Keith Lee and Shane Taylor.

Jay Briscoe. If I was a new fan and saw Jay for the first time, I would be sold on the product. 100% percent believable character. Consistently great on promos. Ring work always solid. A great service to the TV product.

It's another small feather, but I finally caught the 4-on-4 match from FB weekend TV. That match was built around Lethal/Rush (who have very good chemistry) and Lio was the absolute standout.Jay Lethal's Hair wrote: The TPT featuring a **** match with Punisher Martinez (plus the other two rounds, which were good), the Dijak match, the tag with Jay White vs the Briscoes, and the Gresham match standout.
Similar to ACH, Lio's work really flourishes in those TV match windows they have (around 11 minutes).
