#8 Ring of Honor - Villain Enterprises
Villain Enterprises is helmed by the Villain, Marty Scurll. He's too darn popular to be fully considered a heel, so it's hard to get them 100% over as the bad guys. Once the Elite left ROH and NJPW, Scurll was the lone member of the group to still be under contract.
As ROH lost a good chunk of its roster this year, they filled the gaps in with Mark Haskins, Tracy Williams, Bandido, Rush, Dragon Lee and the likes of PCO and Brody Lee. PCO and Lee were prominent all over the U.S. and PCO has seen a career renaissance at 50 that most wrestlers never get to experience.
His high-flying and death-defying move set have endeared him to the crowd, and outside of Scurll, he might be the most-over member of the group. Flip Gordon recently joined them after rejecting an offer to join Lifeblood. The group has already won numerous titles from the ROH Tag Titles to the NWA Tag Team titles to the ROH Six-Man Tag Team belts. They might have only been formed this year, but they're hugely popular.
