1.
the official voters BUT, there was one constant. Only one
official voter did not have KUSHIDA at #1 on his ballot, but
that voter had him at #2, so consistency was key this week for
the NEW IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion as he not only got his
first singles ranking�but his first #1 ranking! After defeating
Kota Ibushi for the title, � of the IWGP Junior Tag Team
Champions was now a double champion, but one further victory on
7/6 sealed the deal as he went 2-0 on the weekend and had
arguably the biggest win of the entire weekend. Congrats to the
new champ! Tied for #8 in the online poll.
2.
for the SCW Florida Heavyweight Champion! In fact, among the
official voters, he was the only other talent outside of KUSHIDA
to garner a #1 vote. His win over Aaron Epic was impressive, but
it was his 6 wins over the last 2 weeks at BELIEVE that got him
to where he is now. He�s been absolutely on fire the last 2
weeks and if he can keep this momentum, his first #1 ranking
can�t be far off. Wins matter and that�s what Rhett Giddins has
been doing over and over again.
3.
Power Rankings has made himself at home the last 2 weeks. After
winning the IWA Mid-South World Title Tournament last week and
getting ranked, he defeated Brian Dewey at HWA on 7/5. Clearly,
the official voters aren�t the only ones impressed with the big
man as the fan vote once again showed heavy support for this
beast of a man. #4 in the online poll with 96 votes.
4.
5.
Top 10 this week after an impressive victory over Jamin
Olivencia that earned him the OVW Heavyweight Title once again.
It�s actually been quite a while since he�s been ranked in the
Top 10, but his 2 victories at OVW last week were enough to push
him over the top once again. With this victory and the loss by
Melvin Maximus, many voters and OVW fans are hoping to see him
lock horns once again with Maximus. Time will tell if that
battle of the bulls will go down in the future.
6.
Jock Samson, the big man was snubbed from the Top 10 last week,
but this week was a different story. With a weekend record of
2-1 in 6 Man Tag Action combined with his 3-0 record last week,
several of the voters felt he had done enough to crack the Top
10 once again. It was a week with a lot of competition and this
Viking managed to sneak in with the aid of his partners, Frank
Wyatt and Jake Parnell. He is � of the SNPW Tag Team Champions,
currently and with this ranking the question looms�is singles
gold on the horizon?
7.
returns this week to the Top 10 after an impressive 2-0 week.
The Rockstar Pro Champion and � of the D1W Tag Team Champions
had a stellar week as he defeated Nate Wings on 7/2 and then
followed that up with a successful title defense vs. Jake Crist
and Alex Colon on 7/5. While he hasn�t quite been able to reach
the #1 spot, if you look at his body of work, it�s tough to
argue with his moniker and this week, the fans showed some
support as well. #7 in the online poll.
8.
this week�s Top 10, it wasn�t so much just what he did this week
that got him as much as it was his body of work over the past 2
weeks. With a record of 3-0, a D1W Heavyweight Title win and
defense of said title, it was hard to deny Pondo this week or in
the words of his trademark stop sign��Can�t Stop Pondo.� His
victory over Tracy Smothers on 7/5 was just icing on the
proverbial birthday cake for the champ after celebrating his
birthday all over the Midwest and East Coast last week. Tied for
#8 in the online poll.
9.
wrestling ability, quality of matches, and things of that
nature, this internationally renowned talent would be at or near
the top of the list every single week. Unfortunately for him and
oddly, this is his first time in the Top 10 this year. Granted,
he�s been in the Tag Team Top 5, but again, this is his first
singles ranking. It was the perfect week for him to slip in
after a 2-0 week at New Japan for � of the IWGP Junior Tag Team
Champions and while his week couldn�t quite compete with his
partner�s week, it was still more than enough to slip him in
this week.
10.
testament to the importance of the fan poll this week. There
were SEVERAL different wrestlers that were all right around #10
this week based on votes from the official voters, but it was
the dominance that Young showed in the online vote that pushed
him into the Top 10. It was a solid 2-0 week for the SWE
Heavyweight Champion, but an argument could be made for several
other wrestlers for spot #1 this week, but again, it was his fan
support that helped him make his case for a well-deserved
ranking. #1 in the online poll and People�s Champ this week with
472 votes.
