1.
@TheBobbyFish)-Despite the fact that they were the first team
eliminated in the big 8 Man Elimination Match on 8/23 at ROH,
they still get in because (as they would probably agree and say
themselves) “a win is a win.” In the record books, much like a
DQ or a countout, reDRagon will be credited with a win from that
match and at the end of the day that just helped pad their 8 out
of 9 match win stat. It wasn’t their strongest showing in a
weekend, but no one else really did enough to push them away
from the top spot considering they were ranked #2 last week and
they hold perhaps the most prestigious tag team titles (the ROH
World Tag Team Titles) on all the indies. They have some big
rematches looming in the near future so with this being their
2nd #1 ranking this year, it will be a fun ride to see if they
can score a few more before the end of the year.
2.
@TheProductDS)-The former 7 time #1’s in the Tag Team Top 5
jumped back into the mix of things this week after a successful
NYWC Tag Team Title defense vs. Milk Chocolate on 8/22. They’ve
slowed down a bit after securing the CZW, FIP, NYWC, and WSU Tag
Team Titles, BUT that doesn’t mean that they haven’t been
competing at all…just less frequently over the last few weeks as
a team. They had a solid case for #1 this week, but got beaten
out by reDRagon…and for the record the #1 and #2 teams would be
a dream match for independent wrestling fans if somehow that
match were to happen (paging…Beyond Wrestling…Beyond
Wrestling…book it!). Over as fuck as always.
3.
Tag Team Champions didn’t get much support in the online voting
competition, but that being said, they proved their worth with a
successful title defense vs. Lucha Sisters on 8/22 at SHINE 21.
They’ve won 3 straight matches as a team and don’t show any
signs of stopping. One thing that could help a future ranking is
if they could possibly start teaming in some other places.
There’s no doubt if they can do that and achieve even more
success, a #1 ranking wouldn’t be out of the realm of
possibility.
4.
@cherrrybomb)-It’s the first time in the Tag Team Top 5 for this
pairing (Kimber Lee was once #1 with Annie Social) as they had a
very good win over the weekend at SHINE 21 vs. SNS Express.
While they didn’t quite crack the Top 5 in the fan vote (they
were just one vote away from the #5 spot) they still had a very
impressive showing in the poll as well. We hope to see this
pairing more in the future and as we said on Twitter…next up…a
title shot? One thing is for sure, this female tag team can
compete on the level of any of their male counterparts.
5.
(@Walking_Weapon) & Ethan Page/Ethan Gabriel Owens
@OfficialEGO)-This Canadian tag team ended up winning the online
vote by a very big margin after they collected 156 votes, which
helped them slip into the #5 spot this week. One can’t argue
with their inclusion this week despite just a 1-1 record. Their
victory over Shane Sabre & Kirk Warmack for the Fringe Wrestling
Tag Team Titles was their 3rd set of tag titles together as they
also lay claim to the IWL and AAW Tag Team Titles. With them
competing more and more at ROH, their star is definitely on the
rise in 2014.
