1.
female in the #1 spot in Christina Von Eerie�this week, we get
our first UK talent in the #1 spot in 2014 (Rockstar Spud did it
in 2013)! Despite being ranked multiple times in 2014, Sabre has
yet to grab the elusive #1 spot. This week, most of the official
voters had to give a nod of the hat to him after he won the UK
Super 8 Tournament after beating Marty Schurll, Dave Mastiff,
and Will Ospreay. There were a few detractors though, as he did
lose a tag team match to the London Riots, but the strength of
his tournament victory was enough to put him over the top when
no one was particularly DOMINANT as has been the case with a few
other weeks. One of the UK�s top talents no doubt deserves this
top ranking! #6 in the online poll.
2.
his name in the Top 10, it�s pretty bizarre, but after his
success over the weekend, he�s back again! The 8 time former #1,
current DGUSA Open the Freedom Gate Champion, and HOG Champion
retained the HOG title vs. Smiley on 9/19 and then followed that
up with a 6 Man Elimination Match win at XWA vs. some of the top
talent on the East Coast. This ranking combined with his many
other rankings in the past year, just solidify his spot at #1 in
the IPR 100 for 2014. The year�s not over yet, however, so the
question remains�can he hang on to the #1 spot when the year
ends? Time will tell.
3.
dangerously close to #2 and even #3 this week, but for whatever
a reason a couple of the official voters snubbed him and cost
him what could have been his first #1. That being said, he
easily won the fan poll in a dominating performance where he
collected 95 votes and more than doubled anyone else this week.
The CHIKARA Rey De Voladores Tournament winner absolutely earned
this very high ranking and we hope to see more from the Chile
Lucha Libre World Champion in 2014.

4.
titles, go look at the poll, because they are NUMEROUS. He has
also won 9 of his last 10 matches. With wins vs. Tony Atlas,
Brian Fury, and then a 3 Way victory vs. Saru saru and Damien
Darko, it was impossible to deny him this week. He�s been making
appearances in the Top 10 sporadically throughout 2014 and this
is just another solid ranking for the title collector. If his
domination can continue, he�ll be making a major impact in the
IPR 100 this year. #2 in the online poll with 41 votes.
5.
single victory over the weekend, the former ROH World Television
Champion was not forgotten this week. He is the NEW XWA Champion
after defeating former champion David Starr & Antonio Atama in a
3 Way on 9/20. 2014 has absolutely been what could be considered
his breakout year after recovering from injury. It�s only a
matter of time before he collects some more titles to finish off
the year.
6.
him having the success he�s having after beating cancer. He is a
true inspiration and this week, he rode that wave of momentum to
a victory in the Alpha-1 King of Hearts Tournament on 9/21 by
beating All Ego and Justin Sane to come away with the win. This
isn�t the first time he�s been on our radar, but he definitely
kicked in the door to the Top 10 this week with that very
important win. We can only hope for more good things from him
going forward.
7.
the doctor ordered to get � of Monster Mafia into the Top 10
this week. Granted, a couple of his wins were in tag team
matches, but don�t forget he won the BKPW Tag Team Titles and
then retained the Fringe Tag Team Titles to finish off the
weekend. For all the talent he has, he hasn�t been ranked enough
to equal it. Hopefully this is the week that he turns the corner
and goes on a long run.
8.
quantity and quality to get himself right back into the Top 10
this week. While all of his wins this week (and last) were in
some form of tag team match, you can�t discount his success
after winning 9 of his last 10 matches at New Japan. Impressive
stuff from one of the top wrestlers in the entire world. In 2015
when everyone in New Japan is eligible for the Indy Power
Rankings (not just wrestlers who have either toured North
America or Europe this year) it will be interesting to see if he
can grab another #1. In the meantime, that�s two straight weeks
at #8 for Kojima.
9.
Elite Champion defeated Rudy Switchblade on 9/18 to retain that
very title. While that may not seem like a HUGE victory like
some of the ones he�s had in 2014 previously, it�s his
consistency that pushed him into the Top 10 this week (with some
support from the official voters of course). This was a week of
parity and Reed �By God� Bentley definitely benefited from it.
10.
ranking for the PWAS Detroit Cruiser core Champion but it�s
starting to become a habit. After knocking off Joseph Schwartz
in a huge rematch over the weekend, he proved his worth to the
official voters once again. He has been tearing it up and
getting his name out there throughout 2014 and this week was no
exception. We�ll expect to see more of him in the upcoming weeks
and months. #8 in the online poll.
Honorable Mention. LuFisto (@LuFisto)-After being ranked #10
last week, the WSU Champion BARELY misses out this week after
defeating Amazing Kong at Smash Wrestling on 9/21.
