Chunk 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Ring Of Honor will now introduce a top five rankings to make it clear who the main challengers for the ROH title are. With ROH's deep talent roster it will be prestigious and an accomplishment just to make the top five. There will be a new top five after every show. Here is the first top five #1 (Normally this goes to the #1 Contender's Trophy holder, but that is vacant now) - three-way tie: -Low Ki He made the ROH champion Xavier tap out in a tag match on 1/11 in Pittsburgh -Paul London Almost beat Xavier at Final Battle 2002 and won the show stealer four-way on 1/11. -AJ Styles Might have defeated Xavier in less than a minute if Simply Luscious had not interfered. #4 Samoa Joe Defeated Bryan Danielson in a brutal strong style match on 1/11. #5 Steve Corino Wrestled to a 45 minute draw in the 12/28 #1 contender's trophy match. Seems a bit weak to go with a 3 way tie, but the choices seem fair enough, based on what I heard about the last show. How has Steve Corino been preforming in ROH? Ive only seen early stuff where he does commentry (pretty well IMO). ChUnK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think they are only mentioning the other matches, as this is the first rankings, and need something to back it up by... Still doesn't make much sense to me either.

Yeah, I guess that can e the only reason behind it. I was expecting more of a bigger thing to be made out of this. Oh well ChUnK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest subliminal_animal Report post Posted January 17, 2003 Isn't there going to be a Low-Ki/London/Styles three-way at the next show? I think that was announced, which would be the reason for the tie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh ok, that doesnt make it so bad actually then. And that match sounds awesome. Is that the 1st anniversary show? ChUnK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunk 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2003 even with the tie nonsense im glad they are actually doing rankings and trying to put some weight behind them I agree. I think its a good way to distinguish main event guys from the mid card guys. At least in theory. ChUnK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
