1.
the Super Juniors Tournament on 6/8, was there really any other
option at #1? A lot of great options for the Top 10, sure, but
higher than Ricochet in the Top 10? Not likely. In fact, the
fans even agreed with the official voters, which is a rarity.
His week started off low when the DGUSA Open the Freedom Gate
Champion lost to Jushin Thunder Liger on 6/3, but he bounced
back with wins vs. Mascara Dorada on 6/4, Matt Jackson on 6/5,
and BUSHI on 6/6 before finally beating Tysuke Taguchi in the
Semi Finals and KUSHIDA in the Finals to win the New Japan Best
of the Super Juniors Tournament. He was 7-2 in the tournament,
overall. He received 237 online votes to become People’s Champ
this week as well.
2.
out on the #1 ranking again, but still impressed voters as he
defeated Chris Hero on 6/6 and Kevin Steen on 6/7 at House of
Hardcore IV & V. He beat two of the biggest names in indy
wrestling in one weekend, which was easily enough to get him
back into the Top 10 at #2. Great week for a Phenomenal athlete
who has been tearing it up since his return to the indies.
3.
on 6/6 and Tommaso Ciampa on 6/7 to retain the title. He is 13-4
in singles competition in 2014 and 15-8 overall. While he has
been ranked #1 one time this year, you have to assume he’s going
to have some more chances at that #1 ranking in the very near
future with his HUGE match vs. Michael Elgin coming up at ROH
Best in the World in Nashville.
4.
and ½ of the AAW Tag Champs defeated Jimmy Jacobs at ROH on 6/6,
went to a draw with Michael Bennett on 6/7, and then defeated
ACH at Smash Wrestling on 6/8 to jump right back into the mix of
things. He was the #1 in the IPR 100 in 2014 and he’s currently
sitting at #2 this year. He’s currently chasing Ricochet for
that #1 spot. If he can cash in and FINALLY win the ROH World
Title, it’s going to be a battle right up until the end of 2014.
5.
to see in the SINGLES Top 10, especially as high as he is, but
it was a fantastic week for ½ of the Young Bucks. ½ of the PWG
World Tag Team Champions and IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions
defeated Tiger Mask on 6/3, El Desperado on 6/4, Kenny Omega on
6/5, and Rocky Romero on 6/6 to go 4-3 in the NJPW Best of the
Super Juniors and then teamed with Matt Jackson, Bad Luck Fale,
& Yujiro Takahashi to defeat CHAOS to go 5-0 this week. That is
a flawless week for a hell of a talent who is known more for his
tag team excellence.
6.
with Bucky Collins to beat Christian Rose & Nick Brubaker by DQ
on 6/6, Johnny Gargano on 6/7 at DREAMWAVE, and then CJ Esparza
on 6/8 to go 3-0 on the weekend. “Money” Matt Cage is another
guy who’s been hovering around the top of this year’s IPR 100
and this ranking can only help his cause. After 3 straight wins,
he’s got some momentum again. Let’s see if he can get back into
the #1 spot again before the end of summer. #9 in the online
poll.
7.
up a spot as he tagged with Tripp Cassidy to defeat last week’s
#4 Hy Zaya and BJ Whitmer at IWA Mid-South on 6/5. While his
weekend wasn’t as fantastic as some of the members of the Top 10
this week, it was his continued excellence that carried over
from last week that has once again given him an appearance in
the Indy Power Rankings. 2014 has been an exceptional year for
him so far. #6 in the online poll.
8.
to the Top 10 as he defeated former Jake Glacier to retain the
title at the 6/4 OVW TV Tapings, defeated Roberto De Luna at OVW
on 6/6, and then teamed with Jamin Olivencia to defeat Adam
Revolver and Marcus Anthony on 6/7. He has won 6 straight
matches (one of which was the title win) since regaining the
title. He’s currently sitting at #3 in the IPR 100, which is
quite amazing for someone who competes primarily in one
promotion. It’s his almost perfect win-loss record in 2014 that
has gotten him this far.
9.
of the FIP and CZW World Tag Team Champions defeated Ryan Reigns
at VOW on 6/7. Much like Reed Bentley before him, it wasn’t one
of the best weeks as a stand-alone, but this is more carry over
from what he’s been able to accomplish the last few weeks as he
has been almost unbeatable. If the last couple of months have
been any indication, he’s going to continue to make people “Look
at it” for the rest of 2014.
10.
Lee on 6/7 to win the PWI Ultra J title to become a double
champion and to finally break into the Top 10 after several
flirtations with getting ranked. He’s had an impressive 2014 so
far as well and by all accounts, he is a true rising star in the
Carolinas. If he can keep this success going, perhaps he’ll join
Caleb Konley as a Carolina-based star to hit #1 in the Top 10.
#10 in the online poll.
Honorable Mention. Rob Conway (@TheRobConway)- NEW NWA World
Heavyweight Champion for a 2nd time after defeating last week’s
#1 Satoshi Kojima for the title at the Cauliflower Alley show on
6/2.
