Infinity Power Rankings: Infinity #5 (18th November 2013)


Every fortnight after the Infinity Monday show and PPV’s 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.




#1 Adrian Flynn (Non-Mover)
Infinity’s World Champion retained his alpha status in the City after he and “The Master of Execution” Chris Michaels, the Singularis Champion, defeated the duo of Taylor Westfall and Murray Muir in a fantastic Harmony rules tag match. The night wasn’t a complete success for Adrian, who for the most part was on the wrong end of a beating from the ruthless foes that spared no expense in sending a message to the Infinity Wrestling Federation. After the match had finished Chris Michaels hit Adrian with the aptly put Legendary Kick, a stiff warning to the champ that the road that lay ahead is thwart with peril and danger.

2# Chris Michaels (+1)
After winning the risk or reward based Singularis Championship at Immortalis Chris Michaels finally started climbing the power rankings. After lingering at the bottom half of the rankings Chris has seen his stock rise greatly after Infinity #5. He and Adrian scored a victory over Murray Muir and Taylor Westfall, and it was the ‘Master of Execution’ who scored the pinfall over Westfall. Even though Chris is surrounded with concussion troubles he watched Adrian take a beating from their opponents for much of the bout but not only was he the determining factor in victory he delivered a Legendary Kick to Adrian after the contest had finished. A warning that the World Champion is going to have to watch anybody and everybody.

3# Joey Harding / James Jameson (+1)
Fortune favours the brave. That statement would be true in most cases for a champion, but not for James Jameson. Victorious in his match over Blair Holmes by count-out, a familiar sight with Jameson in Infinity, one half of the Harmony Champions, the man who carried the belt on this particular edition of Infinity watched as Blair said ‘sorry’ to his own partner John Charismatic, before walking out on Jameson and his match. This is now two matches in a row that Jameson has won via his opponents not turning up. Nevertheless the stock of the Harmony champ rises as he soars into an all-time high in the power rankings. The Agency and partner J-Cas will be proud!

4# The Copycat Kid (+3)
Very few in the city believed Neal Powers could be defeated, and on the all-important night that could have sealed Neal’s legacy as the first Purity Champion to win five consecutive matches with the big red shield, it took a mammoth effort from Infinity’s COO, The Copycat Kid, to dethrone Neal. After winning an Infinity Polling Police poll to name Infinity’s head referee, TCK’s pick, the incompetent Telis Reye presided over the match and turned his back when Neal was about to secure victory, which proved vital for TCK who used this advantage to pin the shoulders of the Blood Family’s leader for three short, and crucial seconds. TCK’s victory rounds off the top four champions elite and now people must be thinking: What is going to take to stop TCK?

5# Neal Powers (-3)
 “The Influence” retained his Purity Championship, and topping off his victory for the big red shield all the way back at Infinity #2 against Matt Rydell, Neal has won all four matches in Infinity Wrestling, with Immortalis proving to be no different. However his big moment arrived at Infinity #5, against his biggest challenger yet in TCK. To the surprise of the city the Blood Family’s head honcho, who debuted Sin and Havok to prevent TCK from winning by any cost found himself on the losing side for the very first time. All he needed to do to cash in the Purity title for a match with Adrian Flynn and the World Championship was to stop the Copycat but the addition of Telis Reye, Infinity’s new head referee and the man beloved by the city, Jamo, decided this contest. Neal drops three places, but in one last act on Infinity, he took the Purity Championship with him, a message to TCK that this is far from over.

6# Murray Muir (-1)
Can Murray Muir catch a break against Adrian Flynn? The rebellious Muir threw all he could at Flynn at Infinity #5 but could not keep the World Champion down. Teaming with Taylor Westfall the duo found themselves on the losing end, and for Murray this acts as a second straight defeat after being Copycatted by TCK at Immortalis. Murray falls one place in the rankings, an all-time low for the man from Halifax, Canada.

7# Matt Rydell (+2)
The city’s most popular man was once again in action, this time against a special guest. As his opponent revealed himself to be Spike Daniels, a formidable wrestler who made his trade on the Bebo Wrestling scene, Rydell was victorious after hitting the New Dawn onto a never-looked-better Spike. After the match, just like at Immortalis, Rydell vanished into darkness. #FuckRydell rises two places in this week’s rankings.

8# Jamo (-2)
If Jamo’s last actions on Infinity #5 were his only actions on the show, he’d have risen in the table. Aiding TCK in his victory over Neal Powers, the ‘Grimm Reaper’ started the night by losing to a returning Lucian Shannon in a Mirrors Match. Jamo has yet to be pinned or submitted in Infinity Wrestling but this defeat against Lucian is a sign perhaps the Hardcore Icon can be beat. Jamo falls two places in the table but left an everlasting impression on the show.

9# Lucian Shannon (New Entry)
Back from the dead. City folk had written off Lucian Shannon after Infinity #3, his last appearance in Infinity Wrestling, a submission defeat against Jamo in Harmony action. Not only did Lucian get revenge for his past defeat, he now has the honours of saying he was the first man to score a victory over Jamo in Infinity’s first ever Mirrors Match. Jamo’s first ever loss on the BZN. Lucian is now only one place behind the monster he beat and now sets his sights higher in Infinity.

10# Craig Anderson (New Entry)
Craig got his first victory in Infinity Wrestling via count-out against the no-showing duo of Jordan Casanova and Joey Tierney. Anderson was by no means happy by the manner of his victory and promised that he would find a partner capable of dethroning the Harmony Champions in the future. After his match TCK proposed that Craig should dream big and aim to employ the services of the likes of A.C. Mack and Roderick Blackmore in his quest against the Patron Saints. His first win means he occupies the last spot in the rankings.

Falling out of the Power Rankings!

A.C. Mack (previous, 8th)
After a remarkable victory over Roderick Blackmore, the man that revealed the World Championship drops out of the power rankings due to not appearing on the broadcast. Mack’s ‘Black Band’ clothing label was given a first glance and is there potential that he could team with Craig Anderson? We’ve seen crazier things happen, haven’t we?

Taylor Westfall (previous, 10th)
The professional wrestling icon and Scottish hero teamed with Murray Muir for the first ever time but after two straight defeats, the first against Adrian Flynn at Immortalis for the World Championship, then with Murray against Chris Michaels and Flynn, Taylor’s fortunes in the power rankings have come to an end. Quite literally the only way for Taylor is up.
