The Briscoes vs FTR (ROH - 7/23/2022)

This probably winds up being my third favorite of the trilogy, but that still leaves a ton of room for it to be amazing. Whereas the first match might have been perfect, organic tag team wrestling and the third match was a perfect chaotic brawl... this did feel a touch like it might be chasing greatness and in turn was a touch more spread out than it really needed to be. I'll still contend it deserves a nomination as it is executed really well and the story they told was compelling from start to finish. I like that both teams won a fall with their finishers before being into the uncharted territory of "what will possibly end this thing" in the third fall. Both teams remain at the top of the game in terms of chemistry and timing and those things create some drama.  Overall, I wouldn't bat an eye if someone said this was their favorite of the bunch and I wouldn't be terrible shocked if it made someone's list.  This is a match that probably winds up my MOTY or at least top 3 in most years (at least in the past 10-15 years or so), but the competition is far too stiff in 2022, so it slid a bit. Still worth a nomination.
