Ring Of Honor<\/strong> hosted their \u2018Final Battle<\/em>\u2019 pay-per-view this past on Saturday, December 18th, and it very well could be the promotion\u2019s final show ever. Despite the company saying that they\u2019ll be back in April, the honorable future seems to still be in major doubt for a lot of fans. <\/span>Before the<\/span> hiatus news came out <\/span><\/a>a few months back, Ring Of Honor was one of the best wrestling products in North America. As somebody who personally covered the product on a week-to-week basis, it was one of my favorite shows of the week as it featured consistent storylines, great wrestling, and a very talented, well-rounded roster. <\/span>ROH\u2019s 2021 was filled with a ton of great in-ring matches, so let\u2019s dive into the top ten ROH matches of 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Ten ROH Matches in 2021<\/h2>\n

10. Six-Man Mayhem Match: Bandido vs. Brian Johnson vs. Chris Dickinson vs. Demonic Flamita vs. Eli Isom vs. Rhett Titus \u2013 Ring Of Honor TV #510 June 25<\/b><\/h3>\n

Multi-man matches usually tire me out because of the predictable formula they usually follow. Two guys in, while the rest of the participants lay on the floor and wait for their spots to come. In ROH, this isn\u2019t the case as most multi-man matches are contested under \u201cLucha Rules\u201d \u2013 meaning only two guys can be in the ring at the same time. This makes much more sense and quite frankly, ROH executes it perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was a six-way elimination match to determine the number one contender to the ROH World Title<\/a> \u2013 which Bandido would go on to win. This would lead to Bandido<\/strong> vs. RUSH<\/strong> at the Best In The World<\/em> pay-per-view, where Bandido captured his first ROH World Title. Specifically, this match was so good due to the final few minutes between Bandido and Eli Isom.<\/strong> Personally, I was sold on Isom as a top babyface after I saw this match.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. ROH TV Championship Match: Tony Deppen (C) vs. Dragon Lee vs. Tracy Williams \u2013 Ring Of Honor TV #509 June 18<\/b><\/h3>\n

The list of TV Champions in 2021 is as follows: Dragon Lee, Tony<\/strong>\u00a0Deppen<\/strong>, Tracy Williams,<\/strong> Dalton Castle,<\/strong> and Rhett Titus<\/a>.<\/strong> When you have five wrestlers of that caliber holding a championship that has a high place on the promotion\u2019s priority list, there are bound to be a good chunk of really good matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the finish of the match was a bit of a shrug, I still thoroughly enjoyed the match. Any time that Deppen and Lee step in the ring together in some form or capacity, magic is made.<\/span><\/p>\n
