On the eve of a new year and as we prepare to ring in 2018, I am happy to introduce (or re-introduce) The Honor Roll. If you were following ROH in the peak days of their message boards existence, you likely remember The Honor Roll. The Honor Roll or THR was the creation of some devoted Ring of Honor fans who had a passion to see the community come together, voice their opinions and create enhanced conversation around the talents who should be considered worthy of title shots in the company. Over the number of years that THR ran, many facilitators supported this initiative. It led to many engaged and sometimes heated conversations. How closely will the fan opinion and fan voting match the Ring of Honor in ring reality?
Since rankings of food, music, movies and more are rather subjective, it is my hope that there is a good level of participation. The first vote will occur in January 2018. Rankings will be based off of the ROH TV and live event product. There will be respect (to the best of our ability) for spoilers and taping results. I am excited to lead this movement and hope you join along in the new year. Please look for each iteration of The Honor Roll to be posted here and engage in the voting and conversation on the ROHWorld Forum.
