1)Jimmy Jacobs vs BJ Whitmer (Steel Cage Showdown)

Not only was it a great match, its the only match on the list that had over a year of build-up. The feud was well done and although they wrestled in every show in some way, shape or form, they always left the fans begging for more. Out of all the MOTY candidates, this was the only one that was used as the blow-off to a lengthy feud and oh yeah... The match delivered on all fronts and it showed why the Cage Match is still one of the most dangerous matches in Wrestling.

2)Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe vs MCMG

It doesn't get the top spot for two reasons... It wasn't built up as well as it could have, and the outcome was never really in doubt. We knew it was going to be great, but we knew that Briscoes would emerge victorious.

3)Takeshi Morishima vs Nigel McGuiness

This match erased any doubts the fan had about Morishima and wheter or not he could go in longer matches. I would say the match that solidified Takeshi as the ROH champ.

4)Jay Briscoe vs Mark Briscoe

The said they needed to Man Up, and they did just that. The just stiffed the hell out of each other for a long time and while people didn't like the finish, I though it was brilliant. Both men gave it their all until they could give no more.... Not bad considering they were never going to wrestle each other again >_>

5)Briscoes vs Claudio and Sydal.

I'm putting this match at number five for now, but there's still some matches I haven't seen that got great reviews. Danielson vs KENTA, Danielson vs McGuiness from the second PPV. There's still some months left in 07, so this top five might look a bit different when its all said and done.
