Rankings Notes:
About the Rankings:
The top 10 ranking system has been adhered to both loosely and in some areas very strictly as a means for a professional wrestling league to rank talent, determine potential championship contenders, and to set up many new, different and exciting types of bouts. These rankings are determined by the NWA Anarchy Board of Directors which includes NWA official Bill Behrens, NWA Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer, and a few anonymous, experienced, inactive and respected wrestlers via a formula that involves won/loss records (obviously the most important factor), strength of opponents, and methods of victory (for example, more credence will be given to pinfall or submission victories over, countouts, DQ's and draws. Therefore if two athletes are neck and neck in the rankings, the competitor who's had more victories via pinfall or submission will win out.)As a general rule, if an individual or team defeat or defeats someone ranked higher than them they will move into their spot, and the defeated person or persons will move down one or more spots unless it's a championship bout where several other factors can come into play, or in a tag team match involving singles ranked competitors where consideration is given to the victory, but the rankings weight can vary. And finally, NWA Anarchy Owner and Matchmaker: Jerry Palmer and the NWA Board of Directors represented by delegate Bill Behrens do have the final say on any championship matches, and have full authority to grant title matches that aren't indicative of ranking status. This can occur when the officials feel a line has been crossed in a personal situation, and there is proper justification for putting the title on the line.
A few items of note:
Heavyweight Rankings:
- "The Seven Figure Deal" Ace Rockwell takes a HUUUUGE jump 3 spots up to #2 with his countout victory over #1 ranked competitor and TV Champion "The Sleeper Cell" Shaun Tempers, and even though he was defeated by Tempers in controversial fashion in the subsequent rematch, the inactivity of his closely ranked peers like Fields, Judas and Kimo kept Rockwell locked in the #2 spot going into August.
- "Merciless" Don Matthews spot in the rankings was short lived, through little fault of his own. It just seems his luck often dictates that personal grudges inconvienantly come knocking every time he starts gaining statistical ground. Just as he seemed to get his issue with Jeff Lewis resolved after over a year long rivalry, a lifestyle clash with the uncouth newcomers The Hate Junkies (Stryknine and Danny Only) seem to have Matthews and running buddy Jessco Blue on a collision course for another war.
- Iceberg, while jumping two spots in the rankings, more due to his overall record as a respected legend in the NWA arena and other peoples mishaps than recent victories as he's had his sights on nothing but revenge lately, may also be taking a trip out of the top 10 and into the DL soon. We're still awaiting any official word on his condition but it was clear that Tank really did a number on him on July 18th.
- The previously unranked "Great American Scream Machine" Brodie Ray Chase made big strides in jumping into the top 10 pool with a pinfall win over juggernaut Orion Bishop. Since Chase was unranked, this also knocked Bishop down 2 spots.
- "The Technician" Todd Sexton is hanging on by a thread in the top 10. He's had a string of victories, but all over unranked heavyweight contenders, though some have been ranked in the Young Lion's division and that's kept him from losing his slot all together.
- Slim J holds tight at #7 but by winning the Reid Clark Rumble, he's managed to secure himself a shot at NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion: Jeremy Vain on August 1st. Longtime fans remember their first encounter 7 years ago at NWA Wildside's Freedom Fight 2002 that put both men on the map as can't miss stars. Now their careers have come full circle with this exciting bout waiting in the wings, and needless to say a Slim J title victory shakes up the entire pool top to bottom.Vain picked up his first big title defense on 7-18-09 by pinning Young Lion's Champion Malachi after the VDT in a hard fought bout, also proving despite his known cowardice, Vain can get the job done in the ring when he wants to.
Tags:
- The New Wave (Derrick Driver and Steven Walters) cling tightly to the top spot as 2 time reigning NWA Anarchy tag team champions and a tag team phenomenon all across the southeastern region and soon, it could be the whole nation. They recently defeated former NWA World Tag Team Champions The Naturals in Charlotte, NC to win the Queen City Tag Team Tournament outlasting a field of teams that included current NWA World Tag Team Champions: The Skullkrushers, Team Macktion, Brad & CW Anderson, Ricky Steamboat, Jr and more and they've been seemingly unstoppable on the road, defending their NWA Anarchy tag team championships all across the southeast. Many executives in the major global wrestling organizations have deemed tag team wrestling dead and buried, but the incomprable and death defying tag team specialists, The New Wave, are proof positive that the above sentiment is anything but true.
- And look who finds themselves back in the #1 contender slots again? Talent & Money (JT Talent & Drew Pendleton III). This brash and arrogant tandem are now on a mission to prove that they can be tag team champions without the help of anyone else. (We all remember the infamous "payoff" of Brodie Chase & Seth Delay to help secure T&M the gold their first go around). Why does it always seem that when the smoke clears it's Talent & Money vs. The New Wave. These two teams both came to prominence around the same time and have had their share of wars against each other. Are we seeing the makings of an all time classic rivalry?
- And when the dust settles from that war, what about the developing rivalry between The Wild Bunch & The Entourage. The new team of "Hollywood Hacksaw" Andrew Alexander & "The Marquee" Mike Mosely have steamrolled through every team in their way up until they met up with The Wild Bunch who've seemed to have their number in the limited encouters we've seen, which is most likely what inspired the vicious post match attack on The Bunch adding injury to their insult, having just come up short in their #1 contenders match vs. Talent & Money.
Young Lion's:
- This division's current champion Malachi has been a quality athlete with class and dignity who represents the division with pride, always defending his title and always doing so in a sportsmanlike manner, and has even had the guts to get invovled in Heavyweight division affairs. There are plenty of great athletes on his heels but for now it looks like Malachi has a safe grasp on the Young Lion's Championship.
On The Bench:
- "The People's Champ" Shadow Jackson is still on the disabled list, but we are told is making a remarkable recovery simply with extensive training and rehab. We couldn't pry a potential return date out of his physicians though.
- "The Son Of Satan" Azrael is in a bad way wherever he's decided to hole up and recover. Anarchy medical staff diagnosed him initially with severe lacerations to the mouth, near asphyxiation, internal bleeding, and several potentially broken bones, though the Rev stated he had his own "doctors" who'd tend to Azrael from there and later stated on TV that we may "never see him return". Of course
- Alan Funk, who suffered a bicep tear about a month ago is still out of commission, and from the extent of the injury, looks like surgery will be keeping him out of action for several months.
