Rodney doesn't look too strong to me and I never seen him wrestle. Wade Barrett I hate his Smackdown gimmick. But he gets my vote.

Yes, doing the same thing he did on RAW but no stable behind him.

Roderick Strong wins.
Wade had a great year, fair enough and hopefully he'll continue to get better and better, but let me get one thing straight.
To do well in WWE and ROH are two totally different things. You can't waltz into ROH without talent, ROH has the most talented wrestling roster in North America from nearly all sides. Maybe lacking on commentary and such, but after that you got guys who can bust their asses at an amazing pace for 30 minutes without hesitation. They make wrestling real.
And on a roster with all this talent, one guy stands on top and that is Roderick Strong. He worked his ass off to get the ROH World Championship. Not for months, but for years. Him becoming ROH World Champion was to me the best thing in wrestling this year.
Wade Barrett is awesome, but he isn't Roderick Strong.

I'm not arguing with you, just sharing what I know.
There are a lot of people who could work the ROH style in WWE. The biggest reason they don't is because it takes such a physical toll on their bodies that a lot of wrestlers after a while don't want to do that anymore. Danielson and Punk were phenomenal in ROH, but working a safer style in a better ring with a much bigger paycheck, I don't think they're complaining.
It's a different scene, a different style. I love a lot of the guys in ROH and know them personally, but some of the ROHbots get under my skin. Nothing's ever good enough for them, and a lot of workers don't want to deal with that. I can't blame them. That's why I decided to get trained in western Pennsylvania as opposed to eastern. A lot of guys don't want to have to do 20 flips in a match just to get over, and on a broader scale, it doesn't. Think of names like TAKA, phenomenal wrestlers but all the flashy moves in the world didn't get over with the mainstream audience. That's the difference. It's not a lack of talent, just a different scene.
Let me remind you that none of this is arguing with you, just presenting a different viewpoint on it.
