Infinity Power Rankings: Infinity #3 (2nd September 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.

#1 Neal Powers (+2)

“The Influence” won the Purity Championship at Infinity #2 defeating Matt Rydell and at Infinity #3 became the first wrestler to successfully defend a championship belt after defeating Matt Young in the main event. The Blood Family rises two places to top spot and next up for Powers is Craig Anderson in the main event of Infinity #4.

2# Murray Muir (+2)

Muir rises in the ranks up two second spot after an excellent promo and a solid performance as he and Jack Anderson defeated the debuting wrestlers Jett Underwood and Rick Bowman. The only thing left to know are Muir's plans for Immortalis.

3# Adrian Flynn (-2)

Due to the technicality of one of the number one contenders for the Infinity Championship not competing, Flynn drops two spots in the power rankings but will look to reclaim top spot at Infinity #4, but with Flynn not in a match, how will things transpire for the high school teacher?

4# 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, and thirdly this past Infinity Jamo scored another victory when he made Lucian Shannon tap out in a tag team match where the “Hardcore Icon” teamed with rival Starkiss. With a third straight win, Jamo rises yet another place in the rankings! Can anyone derail Jamo’s epic momentum? Starkiss has this opportunity at Infinity #4 when the two have a rematch from Infinity #2.

5# Chris Michaels (+3)

After a debut defeat against Adrian Flynn, “The Master of Execution” obtained victory for a second time in a row during Infinity on September 2^nd Monday when he team with James Jameson defeating Over Rated. Michaels scored the victory over Charismatic after hitting the Legendary Kick to the Charismatic Coliseum owner.

6# Matt Rydell (+1)

As the lone promo writer in his tag team match Rydell secured victory for his volatile and unworkable team with Jordan Casanova, defeating Jason Smith and Typhon Kaos via DQ. The night didn’t go great for Rydell though, with the win coming at the expense of Rydell’s physical wellbeing following a brutal attack from Casanova and Brian Von-Malice.

7# James Jameson (New Entry)

Suffering two defeats in his first two bouts in Infinity, James Jameson finally rose to the occasion as he and wildcard pairing Chris Michaels defeated Over Rated in a fantastic tag team bout worthy of the Harmony division! Jameson climbs to his highest ranking in the power rankings so far.

8# Team Over Rated (-6 JC, +1 Holmes)

As the only official tag team in Infinity (the status of Jameson and Casanova as a team at the time of writing is still not ‘official), Over Rated suffered a clean loss this past Infinity after Charismatic was pinned after being finished with the Legendary Kick of Chris Michaels. Blair rises one place after an impressive promo to unite Over Rated on the power rankings, and they will look to soar up the rankings after Immortalis where they will battle for the Harmony Championship!

9# Taylor Westfall (-3)

Like with Immortalis opponent Adrian Flynn, Taylor Westfall did not make an appearance on Infinity #3 which means he drops down the rankings due to non-involvement. With Matt Rydell standing in his way at Infinity #4, can Westfall climb the table before his epic main event with Flynn for the Infinity Championship?

10# Starkiss (New Entry)

The kiss-loving wrestler makes his debut on the power rankings after he and Jamo were victorious over Joey Tierney and Lucian Shannon. At the finish of the match Starkiss had to watch Jamo apply the Cloverleaf submission on Lucian, a bitter pill to swallow. Starkiss left the Infinity fans confused after he refused to shake Jamo’s hand but blew a kiss his way instead. Can Starkiss be the first to defeat “The Grimm Reaper” at Infinity #4?

Falling out of the Power Rankings!

Jason Smith & Joey Tierney (previous, joint 10^th)

After a draw on their debut in a Tables match both were positioned at the number ten spot for the second power rankings, however due to both men losing in their tag team matches they both fall out of the top ten. Tierney was unfortunate after Lucian Shannon failed to promo but made amends after staving off an attack on the night by Smith. The two will have a rematch on Infinity #4 in IWF’s first ever No Disqualification match!

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 5^th 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 2^nd 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, 4^th)

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, 9^th)

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, 10^th)

“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 2^nd 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 1^st 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 1^st 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.
