Sorry this is getting posted so late in the week...post-vacation and real life stuff can sometimes really be a pain.

Voting for this round will run through the weekend and conclude on Monday.

Please remember that current champions are exempt from the Top 5 and no votes should be cast for them. Feel free to add some thoughts as to why you feel a wrestler deserves the ranking you are assigning to them.

Thanks for your participation.

1. Cody - strongest showing of the voting period with statement singles wins and all eyes now focus on his anticipated match with Kenny Omega!

2. Jay Lethal - reign at the top spot comes to an end with an unsuccessful attempt at the World Title. Where he goes next will be interesting to see.

3. Marty Scurll - gets back into the rankings on my ballot with some wins and also being declared the next official challenger for the ROH World Title.

4. Hiroshi Takahashi - Late win over a ranked competitor gets him some love here.

5. Flip Gordon - was easily on the outs with a couple of losses, however bounced back big and earned a ROH World TV Title shot to secure his place firmly at #5.

Tom - in your vote, do you mean Takahashi or do you really mean Tanahashi?

Rich - as per the rules in Tom's first post, current singles champions are exempt from voting, so Castle and King shouldn't appear in your votes.

2. Marty Scurrl
3. Jay Lethal
4. Hiromu Takahashi
5. Flip Gordon
