1.) Pierre Vachon - IYFW Champion (1)
There is certainly no other IYFW performer who stands a chance of wrenching this top spot - or perhaps even the IYFW Championship - from the man they have named "The Beast". With no clear number one contender to the belt and with Vachon vanquishing all comers one has to wonder just WHO can stand against him? And WHO will he face on May 18th in Amsterdam, NY?
2.) "The Pillar" Roman Dominguez and "Born to Win" Drake Evans (2 and 3)
Hard to NOT put these guys in the same slot this month. A feud that began to decide a new top contender has devolved into a rivalry that seems to have transcended the belt entirely. From the moment the bell rang, these two gave fans in attendance at the BACC an intense, hard hitting match that unfortunately ended in a double count out. This feud is also on course to (maybe?) culminate at the "Memories, Moments and Mayhem" show... Should be fun!
3.) Bobby Ocean (--)
Bobby O put on a thrilling performance against Vachon on St.Patrick's Day and it's nice to see him ranked in the top ten once more. In spite of all of his efforts a few weeks back, Ocean still finds himself without that first big singles title win and one has to wonder how long that will be true. As "The Hardest Working Man in Independent Wrestling™" the future seems bright for "The Shaft" both within IYFW and outside. When we interviewed him for Episode 8 of our BLOGCAST, we asked him who he might face on May 18th he told us his match would be "very stiff". Hmmm. Given the superstar announcements made, I think I know who that opponent might be... Could be a one of Ocean's biggest matches, and challenges to date! We shall see!
4.) Liam McFerrin - IYFW New Breed Champion (6)
What a night for BIG IRISH! McFerrin has been slowly climbing up the proverbial ladder as well as these actual rankings since I started them up... Now he finds himself as the New Breed Champion. If only he didn't have to unceremoniously dethrone The Mighty One along the way...
5.) Vigo (4)
Vigo picked up a nice win at the Massacre alongside Nocturne and Rickity Rockett but still finds himself too far from the main event for my taste. Before the Massacre kicked off, I caught Vigo outside the building and he told me he was "getting his house in order". I have to assume, and quietly hope, that his house cleaning is behind him before the May event hits and would like to see Everyone's Favorite Fatkid have a solid second half of 2012!
6.) Ian Daniels (9)
The Anarchist won the battle *AND* the war against tyranny, tea bags, and the Union Jack a few weeks back when he defeated GoodLord Willing once and for all(?) in a riveting European (Step) Ladder Match. Daniels makes a big jump up the rankings by virtue of that big win and by effectively ending the feud. What does the future hold for "Ballston Spa's Choice"? Stay tuned!
7.) CJ Scott (--)
Oh, snap. One half of the former Savage Wolves has finally cracked the top ten due to his earning a valid IYFW contract as well as his victory over his flesh and blood, Damon Ravage. Scott finds himself in a unique position: having become what he despised, betraying his own family for the promise of a few bucks... How can CJ look at himself in the mirror? How can he reconcile what he has done? We hope to have him on the BLOGCAST soon to answer just that!
8.) Jamar "Magic" Justice - IYFW Tag Team Champion (5)
The Magic Man takes a modest dip in the rankings thanks to The Uprisings loss to Blood Money... as well as having stolen our chairs several times during intermission.
9.) Fronz Roddy (7)
Oh, Fronz. How did this happen? This ranking just hurts.
10.) Michael Anthony (--)
Shakeweight-A-Mania has arrived in IYFW and is taking the area by storm! By joining Blood Money, Michael Anthony has assured himself a place on the card at nearly every show: if they aren't booked, Scarsdale can just BUY the booking. Their victory at the Massacre may have been tarnished with controversy yet it's still a win and will unquestionably lead to amtsgmtitle match, likely at the May 18th event.

They need all hands on deck to promote, talk about, and push this show on all fronts!
