       1.
       has a #1 to add to his collection of accolades. It was an INSANE
       week for the NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion. He travelled up to
       Canada and came away with a record of 9-0…in ONE week. This is
       certainly not his first ranking, but it is his first time at #1.
       He’s having a fantastic year, picking up victories where ever he
       goes, most often at NWA Smoky Mountain. When we updated the IPR
       100 last week, Chase was sitting at #35. A #1 ranking will
       certainly help his standing. #3 in the online poll with 44
       votes.
       2.
       has a lot of advantages, ESPECIALLY when you go 2-0 with two
       successful title defenses in one weekend. The Unbreakable World
       Champion went into Cincinnati and Dearborn as champ and left as
       champ after laying waste to Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly.
       It was his 3rd successful title defense in the last 2 weeks and
       was just enough to slot him at #2 this week, despite heavy
       competition. While he is still AIW Absolute and ½ of the AAW Tag
       Champs, his title collecting days may be over, but his ROH World
       Title run is just beginning. Tied for #6 in the online poll.
       3.
       Champion rarely goes more than a week or two without being
       ranked in the Top 10 this year. Last week he was #5 and this
       week he moves up two spots to #3. First he picked up a victory
       on 7/17 and then scored a win on Dragon Gate’s biggest stage as
       he teamed with Masato Yoshino to defeat Matt Sydal and CIMA in a
       Dream Match. The only thing holding him back from a historic 8th
       #1 right now is his lack of singles victories the last few
       weeks. With his success rate lately, one would think that will
       come in the very near future.
       4.
       absolutely nothing to halt his own momentum, but with very, very
       strong competition this week, he dropped a few spots. He did,
       however, score another strong victory as he defeated Shane
       Mercer to retain his IWA Mid-South World Title on 7/17. Mercer
       was able to throw the big man around, but in the end it was Kong
       who came out on top. The dominant monster has been having a
       fantastic June and July and it looks like nothing, not even the
       power of a challenger like Mercer, is going to stand in his way
       from another #1 ranking. #5 in the online poll with 22 votes.
       5.
       knows nothing but winning. Once again he did just that as he
       defeated JD Amazing on 7/19 to add another title to his
       collection as he won the vacant USCW Heavyweight Title. Despite
       his winning ways, he continues to slip a bit in the Top 10, but
       that was true of several people this week due to all of the big
       shows and competition all over the Top 10. He’s still chasing
       that elusive #1, but if he keeps winning, it’s going to be
       impossible for him to miss out on it. Most voters feel that if
       he can knock off a big name in the near future, that could be
       what it takes to lock him in at #1.
       6.
       and USCW Cruiserweight Champion scored not one but two wins on
       7/19 as he teamed with Brittany (from TNA) and defeated Joey
       Mayberry & Ashleigh Lynn Ford and then defeated DJ Chino to
       retain his USCW Cruiserweight Title later in the night. He jumps
       up 4 spots after yet another solid week, whether some of his
       detractors like it or not. Much like Rhett Giddins, a couple
       more big wins and you may be seeing him at the very top of the
       Top 10. Tied for #10 in the online poll.
       7.
       part of the voters, but at the end of the day, he still had a
       successful weekend as he defeated Steve Corino in his final
       match at ROH on 7/19 and then knocked off Tyson Dux at Smash
       Wrestling on 7/20. His only loss was vs. Silas Young at ROH in a
       No DQ match on 7/18. He finishes ranked #7 after having been
       ranked 5 times at #1 (a record at that time) last year. Thanks
       Steen Thanks, indeed. Tied for #10 in the online poll.
       8.
       online poll, the official voters came to his defense as they
       understood the prestige of the MCW Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup.
       This year he was the winner after defeating Shaun Cannon and
       then defeating Bolt Brady, Bo Nekoda, Bu Ku Dao, Papadon, and
       Shane Strickland in the Finals. This is his first ranking and if
       the 2014 Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup was any indication, it
       won’t be his last.
       9.
       Episode of Cops” returns to the Indy Power Rankings after a leg
       injury sidelined her from active competition. On May 12th, 2014,
       she was ranked #3. This week, she’s back in the pack, which
       considering where she came from is damn impressive. On 7/17 she
       defeated Mistress Burgandi in a hard-hitting war at IWA
       Mid-South and then retained her UIW Women’s Title on 7/19 with a
       victory vs. Pandora. With her back in the ring again, expect to
       start seeing her name pop up more and more as we head towards
       the end of the year. Tied for #8 in the online poll.
       10.
       competition this week! OK, bad pun. In all seriousness, first he
       picked up a HUGE win in the Lou Thesz Cup Battle Royal on 7/18
       at IPW and then he followed that up with another impressive
       victory. He absolutely DOMINATED the online voting competition
       from start to finish to become this week’s People’s Champ with
       151 votes. At the start of the day he just wanted to prove he
       belonged, but by the end, he proved that he can be a major
       player given the right circumstances. We hope to see more of him
       in the near future.
       Honorable Mention-Brian Cage-FSP Champion defeated Chris Masters
       on 7/18 to retain the title and came just a vote or two away
       from cracking the Top 10.
