IYFW OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL TOP TEN RANKINGS for October 2011

1.) Pierre "The Beast" Vachon [2]
Fire. Fists. Fury. That's what Pierre Vachon is all about. He won the IYFW Championship after a ref bump, after tapping out himself, and after hurling a FIREBALL in the face of Big Vigo. In one night, IYFW solidified him as THE most dangerous man in the promotion. They're building up his mandible claw and the fact that he is a loose cannon. I like it.

2.) Vigo [1]
The case can (and will be made) that he was robbed of his title last week by the Number 1 ranked wrestler. The dude fought and clawed to be champion and it all came down to a ball of flame to the mug, and a mouth full of fingers. They should play up a bit of a "recovery" time, leaving him off the next show or two, and continue to build Vachon as a monster so that his return would have added heat behind it...

3.) Drake Evans [4]
Drake's big win over SuperBeast may be the first step towards rebuilding Drake Evans as a true IYFW championship contender. As I've covered at length, the man hasn't caught a break all year and he is DUE. It will be interesting to see the Burton/Evans dynamic going forward, that's for sure. If they DO remove Vigo from the picture for a bit to sell it, Evans would be a natural contender to the strap in the coming series of shows.

4.) Fronz Roddy [8]
He is the IYFW New Breed Champion. A man who has held the IYFW Champinship longer than anyone else, ever. The very first and ONLY man to hold EVERY title in the promotion. Where can he go from here? Wherever he wants to.

5.) Roman Dominguez [4]
Following one of the most unexpected matches in his career, I wonder where things could go for Dominguez from here? Does he stay on the periphery of the New Breed scene, in a second-tier feud maybe? Or does he instead turn his attention to the unstable IYFW Championship Title scene, becoming the dangerous assassin of that circle of performers? We've seen him MORE than hang against the Drake's and the Ocean's and the Roddy's... Why not put him in THAT grouping, and stick with him?

6.) Adam Badger [6]
This kid continues to impress. Holding one half of the tag straps in IYFW as well as a singles title in Slam All-Star Wrestling, Adam Badger is a young man who's potential seems unlimited. He once again scored the win in the recent tag title defense over Shiloh Robinson and Ricky Rockett a week ago and is the thunder to "Megastar" Michael Monroe's flash. He has grabbed a hold of this "CENSORED" gimmick since April and has really run with it, adding layers and layers to it with each outing. I'd love to see them have he and Monroe cut a promo and Badger takes it too far, once more, and have the Uprising come out to shut him up. I would love to see Badger make a run in a singles role but would equally hate to lose his talent in the tag ranks.

7.) Ian Daniels [9]
Daniels did not WIN his 4-way match at CAULDRON OF HATE but was clearly the star of the match. Taking into account his memorable run(s) in the IN YOUR FACE RUMBLE and we have a man who's stock is clearly on the rise. He got THE best reaction I have ever seen him receive from those in attendance at the BACC on October 1st and has a devoted following at all the shows.

8.) Liam McFerrin [10]
Coming off of a huge singles win over Fronz Roddy in August, McFerrin followed it up with a tag victory over the seasoned pairing of WAR and Scott Scarsdale. not to take anything away from tag partner, Michael McKinger, but Liam is much more exciting to watch and seems to be on the upswing.

9.) The Northern Studd [--]
*sigh* I feel dirty just by WRITING this. But there's no way I can overlook his HUGE win over former IYFW Champion, Guillaume de Sade, at CAULDRON OF HATE. I want to. I should. But I can't. He cleanly beat the guy who never lost his IYFW Championship... He was STRIPPED of it. And the guy that wasn't cool enough to hang with Fronz Roddy BEAT him in his match back. I'll say it again... The Studd is one solid wrestler... But he is NO Fronz Roddy. Enjoy your spot on the list, Dudd. It will be fleeting.

10.) Rocco Perelli [--]
Rocco deserves a spot on here for both his win in October's 4-way over Daniels, Foxx Vinyer, and Rob Coleman... And for being THE dick of the show. He incited the crowd like a champ at last Saturday's show and walked out after - literally - stealing a win. That's a guy that should be steady rocking the undercard at their shows on the regular.
