Fave Fave 2/23/15-3/1/15

1) reDRagon: I was able to catch Ring of Honor's 13th Anniversary show a bit late, but still found it relatively enjoyable. The best match, to me, on the card was the ROH World Tag Team Title match. reDRagon successfully retained their titles against the Young Bucks. I've always felt that the Young Bucks are a bit overrated but this match was a lot of fun. reDRagon seems to be an absolute tear and show no signs of slowing down. I remember seeing Bobby Fish back in 2007 and he didn't impress me at all. He seems to have improved greatly however. reDRagon has gone out and are possibly going to go down as the second most successful tag team in ROH history, behind only the Briscoes. They have become one of the hottest tag teams in all of pro wrestling, picking up titles over in NJPW as well. In a relatively slow week, reDRagon outshone everyone else to earn the top spot.

2) Jay Lethal: Remember when this guy kept hitting the glass ceiling in TNA? After leaving TNA and making a return to Ring of Honor, Lethal was rejuvenated. He has been on a massive roll and is the only two time Television Champion in company history. He's in the midst of a heel run that I didn't think he had in him. Granted, the Book of Truth stuff is a bit tired now, but Lethal continues to shine. It wasn't the cleanest of wins at the 13th Anniversary Show, but a win over someone like Alberto El Patron still means something. It was a pretty obvious outcome since El Patron has limited dates but it was still big for Lethal.

3) Akira Tozawa: I'll be the first to admit, I don't watch Dragon Gate as often as I probably should. However, when I do watch the occasional match or show, Akira Tozawa is kind of a constant. He's been hovering around the company for the better part of a decade. This week, he had what could be considered his proudest moment. After years in Dragon Gate, he captured his first singles title, winning the Open the Brave Gate Championship. It's a belt I first saw when Matt Sydal held it and since then, has been held by some very talented performers. Ricochet, PAC (currently Adrian Neville), and CIMA among others. It's pretty cool to see him having some solo success.

4) Jay Briscoe: When I first became a fan of ROH, the Briscoes were on a tear. I always saw Jay as the brother with higher potential. Fast forward some years and while others have left for greener pastures, Jay and Mark remained loyal. Jay would go on to not only win the ROH World Title, but join Austin Aries as the only two time winners. At the 13th Anniversary Show, he successfully retained his belt against three tough challengers. It wasn't a main event that I loved by any means, but it was still solid stuff. Jay has been THE constant in Ring of Honor and is always there to deliver for the company, which he did again on their 13th anniversary. Don't be surprised if you see Jay Briscoe make this list a lot more over the rest of the year as he looks to be a fixture and focal point for Ring of Honor for a long time coming.

5) AJ Styles: You see that picture on the left? That's a group of "TNA Originals" that have all left after being spurned by the company. This was taken before the 13th Anniversary Show last night. The focus here is on AJ Styles. The guy who used to bleed TNA more than anyone. Since leaving there, he has experienced a career resurgence, having good to great matches all over and becoming a two time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. As the current champion, he went to ROH last night and faced ACH in an interesting matchup. I haven't seen as much of ACH as I'd like but he impressed me here and more than held his own with one of the best in the world. He just slightly missed out on this list. That being said, the IWGP Champion wasn't about to take a pinfall loss and Styles came out as a winner. I look forward to what the rest of 2015 holds for the Phenomenal One.
