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!
