Steenerico (Kevin Steen / Kevin Owens and El Generico / Sami Zayn) vs. The Briscoes (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) (Boston Street Fight), from Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor V Night One

ROH was on such a roll in 2007 that this, a perfect encapsulation of the wonderful gymnastic mania that only wrestling can provide, might struggle to make a top ten list of the promotion’s best matches of the year. Regardless, the closest I’ve come to a nitpick is an odd edit that splices a stunt in earlier than it happened (given away by the audio not syncing up). This is otherwise the best pure brawl in ROH history, alternately hysterical, brutal, frightening, inspired, and story-driven, with each spot outdoing the last en route to an earned climax. Thoroughly, wonderfully insane.
