Best in ROH or what? He's just signed a new contract, says he's going to hunt Tyler Black down. Christopher Daniels is getting in the way.

Is Richards the best wrestler in ROH? and Will ROH put the strap on Ricahrds, before moving to WWE/TNA?

I suppose technically speaking, no one matches Richards in ROH. However, I don't think he is ready to carry ROH on his back. I think it would be a poor decision to give him the title. He should hold the ROH TV title first, for a while.

I still believe Chris Hero and Roderick Strong deserve the title before Richards. Roderick will most likely be the man in ROH that takes the title off black.

I think i've made my feelings on Davey pretty clear by now, so I won't go over that again. BUT even though i'm not a fan, I think he is on his way up. I honestly don't see him with ROH 3-5 years down the line, I think he'll be in WWE by then, and I think it would take about that time to cycle through the guys above him.

How I see his career path going is something like this...

Feud with Daniels through June-July
Filler feud with a random face for a few months. (Cabana/Generico)
Feud with a foreign talent.
TV Title win early next year
Face turn
Loss of title in a couple months after.
A filler feud against an up and comer.
Main event feud with the ROH Champ for a few months
To WWE.

Plus the possibility of more American Wolves stuff, I can't see a title run anytime soon. I don't know if he's any less deserving than Tyler though, so I think if there's an injury or a departure, he'll be right up there to fill that hole, and he'll probably be the guy that ROH goes to in a situation like that.

I'd imagine at this point, Richards will fued with Daniels , maybe not fued, but a few matches this summer. Build up his pick 6 status, assuming they keep that. Towards the end of 2010 richards will take the belt off of Black.

I think strong might get passed up again. I'd love to see Strong win the belt, but not sure if they want to make him a transitional champ. Which i don't think he deserves. (Pearce has messed up all the champs since he's been booker)

As for Hero, I can see the Kings reigning supreme in the tag division for 2010.
