1.) Vigo
It is only natural to see the man who wears the gold atop this list, especially in it's inaugural form. Vigo proved himself better than seven other men at June's Coronation Cup event and would go on to overcome stacked odds in favor of Scott Scarsdale and his money machine again at Summertime Bruise. He now faces his greatest challenge, the gravest threat to his reign as IYFW Champion.
2.) Pierre Vachon
The Beast earned this spot on the ranking, the number one contendership, and his place in my black, black heart at Summertime Bruise. Earlier in the night he knocked Drake Evans clean out with a vicious Mandible Claw. The most intense brawler in IYF wrestling, Pierre Vachon will finally get his chance at "Cauldron of Hate" in October.
3.) Bobby Ocean
The man known as "The Shaft" got the shaft at the end of the In Your Face Rumble, the final competitor to be eliminated by Pierre Vachon ... So close to tasting sweet victory. There is no question that Bobby Ocean is one of the most popular attractions in IYF wrestling, no denying it, and it's only a matter of time before he claims his moment at the top of the mountain.
4.) Roman Dominguez
The reigning IYFW New Breed Champion finds himself in a class all his own. At this point, that title belt is an extension of him. He dismissed Shiloh Robinson at Coronation Cup... Bested Evans and Ocean alongside Pierre Vachon... and had the smartest plan going into the Rumble that saw him make it to the Final 5. Very intrigued to see who he is pitted against next.
5.) Drake Evans
This man just can't catch a break... He took fifty shots to the nuts from de Sade in April and still couldn't win the IYFW title... Handcuffed to the ring post during the Cup's first 4-way, he was eliminated from the title race then by default... A victim of Pierre Vachon's late entry in the RUMBLE, Evans has again found himself distanced from the belt. This is a role and a style that Drake conveys so well and it will be fun to see him finally get that IYFW Championship back.
6.) Adam Badger
One half of the IYFW Tag Team Champions, Badger had a nice run in the Rumble match. Also... The mask.
7.) Scott Scarsdale
I'm sorry, I know he should be higher up than this by virtue of his recent run at the top. But I can't bring myself to do it. Can't be above 5. Having a hard time reconciling his place above our next man. I think he plays his role well, but just isn't an interesting wrestler to me..
8.) Fronz Roddy
Back to back losses tarnish this wrestlers standing. Naturally, we can chalk the first loss up to the foolishness of his ex-tag partner... and the other is entirely the fault of a woman. We here at the offices of wrestlefudge expect great things from Fronz Roddy in Season 5.
9.) Ian Daniels
One man, three masks, four eliminations. Ballston Spa Screwjob aside, the performance of Ian Daniels during the main event of Summertime Bruise was unique and hysterical for those in attendance.
10.) Liam McFerrin
Guess what, Irish? You're rounding out this Top Ten simply because you most recently had your hand raised over The Mighty One. Good for you.
On the bubble: WAR, Ricky Williams, CJ Scott
Bottom of the barrel: Justin Fox
