1.
little room for argument this week. While some made a few
arguments about his strength of competitions, no one argued
about how dominant he has been. This week was no exception for
the IWA Mid-South World Champion. First, he won a Gauntlet Match
at FWF vs. Charles Matthews, Drax O�Brien, and Lazer Lowman on
7/8 (which was 3 on 1 by the way) and then he won the 2014 James
Wilson Memorial Tournament at RCW by beating Hardcore Harry, and
then Nick Cutler, Scotty Young, and Tripp Cassidy in a 4 Way on
7/11. In the last few months, he has been the very definition of
DOMINANCE. The �most intimidating big man in wrestling�
continues to crush his opponents. Next up: Shane Mercer at IWA
Mid-South on 7/17. #3 in the online poll with 54 votes.
2.
Cage has not lived up to his nickname this year? He has been
absolutely �Money� as the AAW Heritage Champion has been racking
up wins all over the place. This week was no exception. He
challenged Blake Steel for the Zero-1 USA Title but only came
away with a DQ victory, but then defeated Tyler Priegel at SCW
on 7/11, and then wrapped up his week with a career victory as
he knocked off Chris Sabin at DREAMWAVE. He then challenged
Christian Rose for DREAMWAVE�s next big show. Can �Money� add
some more gold to his vault?
3.
is proving himself with true staying power. While he may have
dropped one spot from last week and the week before due to heavy
competition from other players, he had another solid week and
continues to get ranked. On 7/11 he defeated Earl Cooter at FIP
and then followed that up with a successful title defense vs.
Jonny Vandal on 7/12 at BELIEVE 76. If you look at wrestling in
terms of pure stats (i.e. wins and losses) than it�s hard to say
anyone has been much better than Giddins in the month of July so
far.
4.
Death Matches� proved this week he doesn�t have to use weapons
or bleed profusely in order to win matches. His first ranking is
a good one as he defeated Jacob Black at IWA Mid-South on 7/10,
then knocked off Charles Albenasi at FIP on 7/11, before
finishing the weekend with a victory over Blake Balakis on 7/12.
Impressive to say the least. As impressive as a guy his size
doing a Canadian Destroyer? Hard to say. Look for more
appearances from him in the future as his star continues to
rise. #4 in the online poll with 28 votes.
5.
2014 the world has been his oyster. With multiple title wins and
tournament victories, the current DGUSA Open the Freedom Gate
Champion has been on a tear all year long. He returns to the Top
10 after a 3-0 week at Dragon Gate in Japan where he won several
tag team matches in various forms. The only thing holding him
back from a #3, #2, or even #1 ranking this week was his lack of
singles victories. He doesn�t lack them in 2014 but he�s not had
one in a few weeks. Perhaps the week coming up will be the week
when he achieves that goal once again? For now, Ricochet returns
home to the Top 10 with more big things on the horizon. #10 in
the online poll.
6.
�Title Collector� this year, it�s Matt Cross. At this point it
would be easier to ask the question as to what title he DOESN�T
hold rather than asking what titles he does hold. He is the CWF,
Smash Wrestling, and now GSW Breakthrough Champion after
defeating Tommy End on 12/7 for the vacant title. Obviously with
this type of success, this is not his first time in the Top 10,
but what he has yet to accomplish is a #1 ranking. Could that be
the next accolade he adds to his already full mantle?
7.
just throws a question mark at the end of his name, it�s hard to
argue with his success. The FIP World Champion had one of the
bigger wins of the weekend (some would say the biggest title
defense, even) when he knocked off Rich Swann and Roderick
Strong in a 3 Way to retain the title on 7/11. While he has
certainly been good, he hasn�t made as many Top 10 appearances
this year as one might expect. With arguably the biggest win of
the weekend, perhaps that�s just the momentum he needs to start
climbing the Top 10 ladder in the upcoming weeks.
8.
week in the ring wasn�t enough, the SWE Heavyweight Champion set
a new record in the online voting competition. He is now a 3
Time People�s Champion after collecting 1,576 votes and crushing
the old record of 1,004 votes, held by Josh Bodom. Jimmy Nutts
gave him a scare for most of the day as he broke the record as
well, but at the end of the night, it was Eddy Young that once
again reigned supreme. His popularity as well as his win-loss
record have been quite impressive the last couple of months.
9.
owner or as a wrestler, but at the end of the day, when this
week was over with, he was the NEW Rockstar Pro Champion. The
title went from Aaron Williams to Alex Colon on 7/9 to Rhino on
7/11, before finally making its home with DJ Hyde on 7/11. It
was a weird week for a title that only had 2 previous owners. DJ
Hyde, surprisingly, is making his first appearance in the Top
10. He�s had a mention here or there, but it was this title win
that finally put him over the top.
10.
the wrestling community, but the official voters have been given
the marching orders to stay as fair and unbiased as possible. It
was impossible to deny the FIP Florida Heritage Champion anymore
after picking up his 5th and 6th victories in the last 3 weeks.
His record of 9 wins out of his last 10 (the only non-win was a
draw vs. Rhett Giddins) is as about as good as anyone on this
list. So love it or hate it, the decision was made without any
personal biases and based solely on his in-ring wins and losses
recently.
