#5 Dalton Castle
I believe Wikipedia hit the nail on the head when they described Dalton Castle's gimmick as a cross between Gorgeous George, Adrian Street, Ric Flair, and Goldust. Castle, however, typically embraces the crowd's favoritism as one of the top babyface performers on the Ring of Honor roster.
Early on in Castles career, many, including this writer, never really pictured him as a potential top-tier performer. But, as he evolved as a complete performer, Dalton honed his craft to the absolute highest level. In fact, Dalton reached the pinnacle of his industry in December of 2017, when he defeated Cody Rhodes at the 2017 ROH Final Battle pay-per-view, which resulted in Castle capturing the Ring of Honor World Championship.
Dalton would hold that title for nearly 200 days, until he finally lost the Championship to Jay Lethal on June 30, 2018, at a television taping in Fairfax, Virginia.
