2010: ROH Death Before Dishonor VIII ROH had a ridiculously good 2010. Which is impressive considering that on-paper they should have really struggled. They lost their biggest names in Danielson and McGuinness to the big two. They hesitated on putting the title on Tyler Black and when they did pull the trigger, the fans completely turned on him (and they later ended up losing him to WWE later that year). Luckily, they had the hottest feud of the last 5 years in Steen/Generico and the Kings of Wrestling became the company's top-drawing champions in lieu of a decent singles champ. There are a number of PPVs of theirs which would be the best but DBDVIII is one of the best top-to-bottom PPVs I've ever seen. It had the first singles match between Kevin Steen and El Generico since Steen turned heel in December, ending in a gently caress-finish which kept the feud going. It had the Kings of Wrestling and the Briscoes had a brutal NoDQ tag-title match and to top it off, Black/Richards for the World Title one of the top three matches all year. The show was well paced with competent undercard matches spaced out well between the big matches (not making the classic Gabe mistake of burning out the crowd). Only PPV that even came close in 2010 was Final Battle.
