Matt Taven has single-handedly made the word “Melvin” part of the lexicon in ROH. We’re still not exactly sure what a Melvin is, but it’s definitely not a compliment. We asked the leader of The Kingdom who the five biggest Melvins in ROH are, and here’s what the self-proclaimed real world champion came up with, written in his own words:

5. FLIP GORDON

Flip is only on this list for one real reason: He turned his girlfriend into Wilson the volleyball from “Cast Away” at Final Battle. Matt Taven will never slag a guy for planting a kiss on a beautiful lady, but doing it while you’re covered in blood … gross. Needless to say, if Flip thinks that he’s earned a shot at Matt Taven’s world title, then that Melvin is dumber than he looks.

4. NICK ALDIS

Matt Taven hasn’t spent much time around Mr. Aldis, but from what I’ve seen I don’t like. Matt Taven doesn’t like that he named himself after a Nicolas Cage movie; I don’t like his pompous outfits; but I especially don’t like him walking into Ring of Honor proclaiming to be a world champion. This past week this Melvin even referred to himself as the real world’s champion. The only way this big doofus can stake claim to that is by getting in the ring with The King!

3. IAN RICCABONI

Where does Matt Taven even begin with this Melvin? I hate everything about Ian Riccaboner. From his obnoxious smile to those awful music reference, “Ick” is much like the Melvins in the crowd -- delusional!

For almost a full year, Ian Riccamelvin was blinded by his own bias and refused to acknowledge the conspiracy against The Kingdom, only to months later finally come around to seeing there’s been a conspiracy the whole time and justice for The Kingdom was needed.

Even after killing one conspiracy though, Riccaboner still acts like a Melvin and sides with ROH management in thinking that Jay Lethal is the top guy. He might have to get those lenses checked because this Melvin was ringside when Matt Taven became the real Ring of Honor World Champion! I guess seeing is believing unless you are Ian Melvaboni.

2. MARTY SCURLL

Matt Taven has said it before and I’ll say it again: If Marty was truly a villain, he’d be me. Marty is that typical Melvin that gets every opportunity in the world and still whines for more. Marty has been given two world title shots on marquee stages and failed both times. So why does this Melvin think that he deserves a shot at my world title?

Marty can pander to the morons in the crowd while professing he’s a villain all he wants, but he’s not fooling Matt Taven. Especially now that he’s created Melvin Enterprises, if he wants a shot at Matt Taven’s world title or world six-man title he’s going to have to do more than just show up.

1. JAY LETHAL

Imagine walking around having to tell people over and over again that you’re something you’re not. Knowing deep down inside that you don’t deserve the label that’s been placed upon you. This is the life of that Melvin Jay Lethal.

Jay calls himself “The Franchise” and claims to abide by the “honor” principle that ROH was built on. He also takes pride in being a student of the game and studying not just his opponents but himself as well. Now with all that being said, Jay Lethal should have walked up to Matt Taven and handed over the world title as soon as he saw the replay of the title match in Fairfax, Virginia, where MATT TAVEN WON THE WORLD TITLE!

Since Jay Lethal hasn’t lived up to the moral compass he claims to possess, he’s a fraud and has made that belt that he carries around meaningless.
