       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.
