Impact Wrestling Power Rankings: March 1st, 2021

 I am just as pleasantly surprised as you are that I made it to Week 2 of this new endeavor. For the first time, we will be looking at a non-PPV week. Instead, the changes in this week's rankings are based on the latest episode of Impact. Let's get started. 

Men:

1. Moose (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 1): Last week, I wrote that Moose was the self-proclaimed TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Now, not only is Moose recognized as an official World Champion, but he successfully defended the title against Jake Something. 

2. Rich Swann (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 2): It was announced on Impact that Swann would be defending his Impact World title against Moose at Sacrifice on March 13th. These two men have been on fire recently, and I'm excited for this match. 

3. TJP (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 3): I can't tell what match I would rather see: TJP vs. Black Tauros or TJP vs. Ace Austin. 

4. Ace Austin (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 4): The only two men standing in between Austin and a shot at the X-Division Championship are Chris Bey and Black Taurus. 

5. Brian Myers (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 4): After backing out of a singles match against Eddie Edwards, Myers watched the Boston native defeat Hernandez. We will see Myers and Edwards clash next week on Impact. 

Knockouts:

1. Deonna Purrazzo (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 1): Though she didn't wrestle this week, the former NXT star is still the Knockouts Champion. 

2. Tenille Dashwood (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 2): Dashwood and Kaleb with a K were unsuccessful in trying to recruit Havok to their side. 

3. Jordynne Grace (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 3): I feel like I should take Grace out of the singles rankings soon, as it looks like she is currently focused on the Knockouts Tag Team titles.

4. Havok (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 4): With her tag team with Neveah up in the air, we could see Havok generate some steam as a singles competitor in the next few weeks. 

5. Alisha Edwards (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 4): Edwards was nowhere to be seen this week.

Tag Teams:

1. The Good Brothers (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 1): Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows defeated XXXL in the show's only proper tag match. 

2. Fire 'N Flava (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 2): We now know the next challengers for Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz: Jordynne Grace & Jazz. 

3. Decay (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 3): Thanks to his being on the winning side of a six-man tag, Black Tauros has a chance to become #1 Contender for the X-Division Championship. 

3. FinJuice (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 3): While David Finlay & Juice Robinson didn't wrestle on last week's show, they did show up in a backstage segment. 

5. Jordynne Grace & Jazz (Last Week: NR, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 5): The powerful duo knocked off Susan & Kimber Lee to become #1 Contenders for the Knockouts Tag Team titles. 

Thanks for reading everyone.

The 2019 ROH 25

Welcome to the inaugural ROH 25. It's a simple concept: identifying the 25 best wrestlers in a certain promotion for a year (in this case, Ring of Honor). Now, best is obviously a subjective term. For our purposes, we are taking into account the following factors: in-ring work, placement on the card, influence on the promotion, achievements, notable matches and feuds, visibility on the program, and overall importance to the promotion. Some of these factors are also subjective, but hopefully we can agree on most of them. Ring of Honor did not have the best 2019. Their live event attendance was abysmal, they got a lot of negative media attention, and their performance at Madison Square Garden was mixed at best. But, we're here to focus on the positives here. Let's look at the inaugural ROH 25. Angelina Love (Notable Accomplishment: Women of Honor Champion) This one may seem a little questionable, but keep in mind that Love was the Women of Honor division's top h...

Wrestling Power Rankings 4/28/18

So, as it turns out, I'm much more behind on wrestling than I thought. I'm currently watching Night 1 of Dontaku and have not even thought about Backlash yet. Catching up by Sunday is now beginning to feel like a pipe dream. But hey, a guy can dream right? Let's get started. Raw:  10. Elias (Last Week: NR, Weeks in Rankings: 1, Peak: 10)- Elias takes Roode's spot by beating him on Raw. 9. Bobby Lashley (Last Week: 9, Weeks in Rankings: 3, Peak: 9) 8. Nia Jax (Last Week: 8, Weeks in Rankings: 3, Peak: 8) 7. Roman Reigns 7 (Last Week: 6, Weeks in Rankings: 54, Peak: 1)- I thought for sure Reigns would win the Universal Championship at GRR. 6. Ronda Rousey 2 (Last Week: 7, Weeks in Rankings: 8, Peak: 6) 5. Finn Balor 2 (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 40, Peak: 2) 4. Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt 3/1 (Last Week: 5, Weeks in Rankings: 8/3, Peak: 4) 3. Seth Rollins 11 (Last Week: 3, Weeks in Rankings: 54, Peak: 1)- The ...

Impact Wrestling Power Rankings: March 8th, 2021

 We are now less than a week away from Impact's next big show, and it's shaping up to be a good one. Already booked for the show are some big matches, including a headliner between the company's two World Champions. Survivor Series, eat your heart out. Here's how the company is looking heading into the go-home episode of Impact. Men: 1. Moose (Last Week: 1, Weeks in Rankings: 3, Peak: 1): Neither Moose nor Rich Swann had a match on this week's show, but we should see them next week before Sacrifice.  2. Rich Swann (Last Week: 2, Weeks in Rankings: 2, Peak: 2): Swann got a vignette hyping him up and his accomplishments thus far.  3. Ace Austin (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 3, Peak: 3): I was a big fan of the opening three-way match that featured Austin, Black Taurus, and Chris Bey. Austin picked up the win and is now the #1 Contender for the X-Division Championship.  4. TJP (Last Week: 4, Weeks in Rankings: 3, Peak: 3): TJP slips a spot after a second straight we...
