AJ Styles and Samoa Joe vs. The Briscoes (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) for the Ring of Honor Tag Team Championship, from ROH The Conclusion

All of these men have expanded their personas and psychology to the point that they don't need to pull out half the stuff in this match to get the crowd rocking, but it's nice to know that, just as "OMG MOVEZ" matches were starting to catch on, these four could show the rest of the world how to get it done. It's all in the escalation, knowing where the peak is and building to that without going a minute longer than you need to, with enough character work to define who should be getting more cheers. An underrated ROH gem.
