Infinity Power Rankings: Infinity #2 (19th August 2013)

Every fortnight after the Infinity Monday show the power rankings of the top ten stars in Infinity will be posted here. The power rankings are based on a wrestler’s promo for the week, contributions to Infinity City, and of course the result of their match and the significance of the match they’re in.

The second power rankings are based on the results from the 2nd Infinity Mondays broadcast that took place on  August 19th 2013.



#1 Adrian Flynn (+1)
A second week of Infinity sees a new number one on the power rankings. This fortnight’s top spot goes to Adrian Flynn after making his way to the Infinity Championship final at Immortalis. On his way to the final Flynn beat Chris Michaels, and this week defeated Murray Muir. The high school teacher will now face Taylor Westfall for the championship on pay-per-view.

2# John Charismatic (+3)
Despite not being in TCK’s good books John Charismatic was the backbone of Team Over Rated in their disqualification victory over Jordan Casanova and James Jameson. A second successive victory propels JC into second place.

3# Neal Powers (New Entry)
Powers was gifted championship opportunity after having his Infinity City creation, Jon Harrington, the new Infinity Ring Announcer, voted into the federation. With Infinity’s first champion Matt Rydell defending his title for the first time “The Influence” capitalised on his opportunity for gold with victory in his debut match. Neal captured the Purity title, albeit after spitting a broken blood capsule in Matt Rydell’s face, setting up the finish. Neal’s first defence is against Matt Young on Infinity #3.

4# Murray Muir (-1)
Despite losing against Adrian Flynn in the world championship semi-finals, Muir produced an excellent promo and pushed his foe all the way to the limit. After the match Muir reasserted why he has no redeeming qualities as a human being by spitting on his hands before shaking Adrian Flynn’s hand.

5# Jamo (+1)
First “The Grimm Reaper” got a submission victory over Typhon “Kid Wicked” Kaos, and then this past Monday he made his second victim, debutant Starkiss, tap-out in a Singularis Championship qualifier to retain the use of his Cloverleaf Pain Submission. Jamo is proving to be a force to be reckoned with, so moves up to 5th this week. Next week in the Harmony, tag team week Jamo will now team with Starkiss, so expect sparks to fly between the duo as Jamo seeks qualification for a second championship!

6# Taylor Westfall (+1)
You’d think a finalist in the Infinity Championship tournament would be higher in the power rankings, right? After Jack Anderson’s attack left him earning an easy count-out victory in the quarter finals, this past Monday, Westfall defeated Lucian Shannon in a hard fought win. The problem is Lucian failed to promo for the event meaning Westfall is in the final without opposition. If both Anderson and Shannon had promo’d for their respective matches Westfall would be higher. Nevertheless though, a second successive victory raises Westfall one place up to sixth. In the coming weeks before Immortalis we’re sure “The Side Effect” would like to prove that he is world championship material as he prepares to face Adrian Flynn for the Infinity Championship.

7# Matt Rydell (-6)
After “Bad Boy” Brandon Kheller doubted Rydell’s victory on the second victory, Infinity’s first champion lost the belt after only two weeks against Neal Powers, proving the Bad Boy right. Rydell produced an admirable and entertaining promo but defeat in the main event means he slides down an astonishing six places. On September 2nd Rydell teams with one of his nemeses, Jordan Casanova, in Harmony action against Jason Smith and Kaos. Can Rydell’s heated past with Casanova result in a rise in the power rankings, or will he continue to slump?

8# Chris Michaels (Non-Mover)
 “The Master of Execution” obtained victory for the first time in Infinity this Monday when he defeated Matt Young and Craig Anderson in a ladder match, but this week he doesn’t rise in the rankings despite earning a Singularis Championship match at Immortalis.

9# Blair Holmes (New Entry)
John Charismatic’s tag-team partner is a new entry this week after he and JC worked like a well-oiled unit in their DQ victory over Jordan Casanova and James Jameson. Over Rated on course for a pinfall of submission victory until Brian Von-Malice caused the disqualification. Blair’s first victory puts him in the top ten for the first time.

10# Jason Smith & Joey Tierney (New Entry)
Both men made their debuts at this week’s Infinity in a Tables but neither was able to secure an outright victory after both fell through the same table, at the same time! TCK announced that the match would end in a draw and both would advance onto Immortalis and would enter the Singularis Championship match. Smith produced a fantastic story and Tierney a well-imagined shoot promo which earn them a joint spot on our power rankings.

Falling out of the Power Rankings!

Lucian Shannon (previous, 4th)
The Shiner suffered defeat at the hands of Taylor Westfall, and missed out on a place in the Infinity Championship match. Lucian fought hard but his decline in the rankings is due to him not submitting a promo against Taylor Westfall.

James Jameson (previous, 9th)
Two defeats in a row send the television star spiralling out of the top ten this week. It’s not all doom and gloom for Jameson, the defeat this week was caused by disqualification and finds himself teaming with Chris Michaels on the next Infinity, the only way for the ratings draw is up, right?

Matt Young (previous, 10th)
“The One and Only” has produced very good promos against both Murray Muir and Chris Michaels, but has just fallen short against both. Young has impressed Infinity management with solid promos, showing immediate signs of improvement, and on September 2nd 2013 he faces Neal Powers in the main event for the Purity Championship!

Infinity Power Rankings: Infinity Mondays #1 (5th August 2013)

Every fortnight after the Infinity Monday show the power rankings of the top ten stars in Infinity will be posted here. The power rankings are based on a wrestler’s promo for the week, contributions to Infinity City, and of course the result of their match and the significance of the match they’re in.

The first power rankings are based on the results from the 1st Infinity Monday broadcast that took place on August 5th 2013.




#1 Matt Rydell
Top spot goes to the new Purity Champion, Matt Rydell, who bested James Jameson and Jordan Casanova to become Infinity’s 1st champion. After tapping out in the match, Rydell was spared defeat after the official was distracted by Casanova’s manager Brian Von-Malice. Eventually Rydell proved why he is an ultimate opportunist by scoring the pinfall over Casanova, and now is the first to hold the big red shield of Infinity.

2# Adrian Flynn
In TCK’s match of the week Adrian Flynn vectored in an amazing match against Chris Michaels to claim a place in the semi-finals of the world title tournament. Many wrestlers and fans favoured Michaels in the bout but Flynn silenced critics after producing the best promo for the show.

3# Murray Muir
Murray sits high on the power rankings after an excellent promo and a victory over Matt Young in the world title tournament. Muir’s arrogant, self-absorbed attitude has been noticed, and according to a new poll on the Infinity website, he is the outright favourite to win the championship tournament. Now Murray faces Adrian Flynn in the semi-final, so there is a lot of pressure on Murray to continue his excellent form.

4# Lucian Shannon
In an interesting match with Craig Anderson, with many believing that the match could have swung either way, Lucian prevailed in a tight contest and now finds himself in the semi-final of the world title tournament and is only one match away from the final and a place headlining the first PPV, Immortalis.

5# John Charismatic
Team Over Rated proved that there is harmony in their ranks after Blair Holmes laid down for JC to get a simple victory. It wasn’t all good for JC on the show, he isn’t over with the fans and is testing the patience of COO, The Copycat Kid.

6# Jamo
“The Grimm Reaper” secured a submission victory over Typhon “Kid Wicked” Kaos on the 1st Infinity and extended his legacy as a wrestling in professional wrestling.

7# Taylor Westfall
Westfall begins his stint in the power rankings at lucky number seven due to the manner of his victory over Jack Anderson. After Anderson no-showed the event, for reasons unknown to Infinity management, Westfall didn’t wrestle but due to progressing into the semi-finals, albeit by technicality, Westfall and his V Club begin life in Infinity with a victory.

8# Chris Michaels
Despite a losing effort against Adrian Flynn, “The Master of Execution” had match of the night against Flynn and produced one of the best promos of the week. He’d be higher if it wasn’t for losing, which is why Michaels lingers near the bottom of the charts.

9# James Jameson
In the main event James Jameson proved why he is a ratings draw despite being unsuccessful in capturing the Purity Championship. As “Mr. Media” wasn’t pinned or submitted in the main event he just about makes the cut for the first power ten.

10# Matt Young
With little expectation on Matt Young to progress in the World Heavyweight Championship tournament he put up a valiant  fight against Murray Muir and pushed the bad-boy to his limits, resorting to Muir using a FuckYou branded knuckleduster to overcome “The Flying Angel.” Young just makes the cut this week for the performance in his promo and making a definite impression that he’s not here to play second fiddle to anybody.
