looking forward to seeing the votes come in for this round of voting!

Please note, champions are exempt from the Top 5 and there was a new champion crowned this past weekend. Please be sure to consider that in your voting.

My votes:

1. Jay Lethal - continues his march to the battle with Dalton Castle. Undefeated in singles this year and looked strong in Japan.

2. Silas Young - almost a default ranking due to losing the ROH World TV Title. His reign was not much of anything to write home about. Wonder what is next for him?

3. Matt Taven - inactivity puts Taven here. With a singles match on the horizon with Cody, a win there could be what he needs to stay in the Top 5.

4. Flip Gordon - big win over Hiromu Takahashi in his Japan debut on the Honor Rising shows. Also, his first singles win of the year and he's faced the best of the best so far in 2018.

5. Kota Ibushi - an outside of the box vote here, as he has zero singles wins. His pinfall over the previously ranked #4 wrestler is enough to merit this consideration and why I placed him here.

[Rich of Honor]

1. Jay Lethal
2.Matt Taven
3. Flip Gordon
4. Marty Scurll
5. Beer City Bruiser

[Jimthy]

1. Jay Lethal - he's the man
2. Silas Young - As Tom said, a default...not sure he'll stay here long.
3. Matt Taven - No one really did enough to overtake him
4. Punishment Martinez - Again, no one did alot
5. Kota Ibushi - with no one else really earning this in singles, it comes down to Ibushi pinning Scurrl or Gordon pinning Takahashi. In the world of ROH a win over Scurrl should be worth more.

1. Lethal
2. King
3. Taven
4. Young
5. Martinez
