Coming soon will be the IWF Power Rankings where we will list who the panel (of one) thinks are rising and falling in the ranks of the IWF (The Top 25). You'll know why we (I) think so as well. These in no way reflect the views of anyone in charge...just my humble opinion...so please...don't freak out.

Renee knocked off Alex Jones and is quite possibly one of the hottest wrestlers on the planet today (statistically that is), winning the Roulette and fulfilling his destiny in becoming the IWF Imperial Champion at Night of the Immortals. Now he has a tough task, Sunday at Bloody Assizes in the form of Hall of Famer, Spike Kane. A win over Mohamed Al-Thani proved to be a nice tune up for the champion.
#2

-
Alexis won the Iron Maiden match, then defeated Ana Valentine in controversial fashion to win the Diamonds Title. She's also turned over a new leaf following her betrayal of Rob Diamond at Night of the Immortals. Teaming with her fiance Mike Laszlo, the two scored a win over #1 Contender Spike Kane and Ruby Champion Firenze Everett.
#3
-
-
"The Ace" comes in at Number 3 after a nice performance in which he retained his title against Jack Gaither at Night of the Immortals. This weekend at Bloody Assizes, we see if Nighthawk can take his shot at The Ace and the Man of Steel Title back after Conway declined him of that opportunity.
#4
-
-
Mike won the Joker In The Pack match at Night of the Immortals and can take his shot (With a week's notice) anytime he sees fit in the next calendar year. A fate that ended his own Imperial Title reign earlier this year. He teamed with Alexis to get a victory over Spike Kane and Firenze Everett this past week on Sacrifice. With a new attitude, and the Joker in the Pack briefcase, is it only a matter of time before we're calling him "Champion" again?
#5
-
-
Being the Number One Contender would normally get you in my four spot, but the loss (though not his fault) to Mike and Alexis this past Monday hurts the cause of the Spiked One this time around. Easy way to move up? Win the Imperial Title for a second time at Bloody Assizes.
#6
-
-
The former Imperial Champion has found himself fighting with Nighthawk over the last couple weeks and has proven he's still as sharp as ever with a victory over Kyle Mason, and a victory over the thorn in his side, Nighthawk, in a 2 out of 3 Falls match this past week on Sacrifice. What's next for the Black Dragon?
#7
-
-
This young lady is proving over and over again that she belongs here in the IWF. She advanced over Kayla Richards in the Heiress to the Throne tournament, and she defeated the Ruby Champion Firenze Everett. With the roll she's on, she will be hard to stop.
#8
-
-
Alexander Atwater comes in at #8 due to his respectful showings the last few weeks. The man advanced over Nighthawk who went toe to toe with Alex Jones and hung in a week later. Then showed his superiority in this contest, defeating fellow Heir To The Throne participants, Jack Gaither, Andrew Jacobsen, and El Guernica in a Fatal Four Way Match this past week on Sacrifice. He's a wrecking ball, swining violently in the Heir To The Throne Tournament, and could win it all.
#9
-
-
Amber Richards took on a game Crystal Hilton and advanced over her in the Heiress to the Throne tourney. She probably could have been higher on the list, but she only had the one match.
#10
-
-
Fiona McFly cracks the tope ten with a win over Paige Garcia to advance in the Heiress to the Throne tournament. She could be a dark horse to win the tourney and take on the Diamonds Champion.
#11
-
-
The "Mistress of Mischief" looks to save her "daughter" from the rest of the world. To do so, she'll have to win the Heiress to the Throne Tournament, and took the first step by defeating Sara Garcia, and advancing in said tournament.
#12
-
-
The Southern Boy beat Kyle Mason to advance in the Heir to the Throne Tournament. A couple weeks later, he didn't get the win in the Fatal Four Way full of Heir to the Throne Competitors, but he did have a nice showing and lands in this spot for his efforts, and defeating a stronger opponent then the man below him.
#13
-
-
El Guernica and Jack Gaither were almost interchangeable for me here. Both advanced in the Heir to the Throne, but both failed to win that Fatal Four Way with all Heir to the Throne competitors. However, I based this pick on "Strength of Schedule" and for me, Kyle Mason is a bigger win than Marco Keller.
#14

Mercedes may not know who the Diamonds Champion is, here's a hint, she's beaten you on a number of times. She does however, advance in the Heiress to the Throne, and that's what this month is all about. She defeated Fiona Williams, and now looks to win that so-called elusive "Big One". She has the ability, and it all comes down to execution.
#15
-
-
Mohammed Al-Thani comes in at 15 after dominating "African American" Rob Diamond to qualify for the Heir To The Throne. He then came up short against the Imperial Champion, Renee Pleasant, though had a decent showing otherwise.
#16
-
-
He qualified for the Heir to the Throne with a victory over Todd Williams, but then took the loss in the Fatal Four Way, Heir to the Throne, showcase. He looks to get on track and win the Heir to the Throne, making his name the most relevant it's been since his time in NCW.
#17
-
-
The former Imperial Champion qualified for the Heir to the Throne with a demolition of Marco Keller who couldn't take advantage of his shot to redeem himself in the Heir to the Throne. Malaki has already won the right to call himself a Gladiator and Champion...can he add "Heir to the Throne"?
#18
-
-
Mirsada started her career the way many do with a win over Domi Natrix. She qualified for the Heiress to the Throne with that victory. Now it's time to see what this young lady can do against REAL competition.
#19
-
-
Nighthawk won his match against Kyle Mason at Night of the Immortals, but since then, things haven't been going well for the "Wrestling Machine". He's been disrespected and then beaten by Alex Jones and he didn't get into the Heir to the Throne. He also lost his Man of Steel #1 Contender status just because The Ace said so and his wife is the Commisioner. He can change all of that in his Gauntlet Match at Bloody Assizes where he looks to get back his MOS #1 Contendership status.
#20
-
-
She lost the Diamonds Title to Alexis Caffrey and hasn't been in the ring since. She has however made her target be known in the form of Jessica Reed. The wrestling world has been waiting for these two to collide and when it happens...it will be great.
#21
-
-
"God" defeated Spike Kane in the Death Cage in what may have been the Match of the Year. We haven't seen from him since as the hell those two endured would be enough to keep a normal man out for good. Believe me, when Angel returns...he will do so with the wrath of "God"!
#22
-
-
We haven't seen much of Owens as of late since defeating Mike Madness at Night of the Immortals to retain the Invictus Title. That's why he's so far down on the list. He gets a spot now simply due to the fact he's champion. How long can he hold it with the inactivity is the real question.
#23
-
-
The Olympians are the Tag Team Champions and they retained those titles against The Fucking Rednecks at Night of the Immortals. A lack of teams willing to face them has caused some inactivity, and just like Aaron Owens, they get a spot based on the titles they hold. Inactivity will cost them, let's hope they get a challenge sooner rather than later.
#24
-
-
She defeated Fiona McFly at Night of the Immortals, but similar to Nighthawk, things just haven't gone her way. She lost to Eliza, then teamed with Spike Kane, but ended up losing the match, tapping out to Alexis Caffrey's Entanglement, after suffering a possible injury during the match that could keep her out for quite some time. We wish the Diamond a speedy recovery and hope she comes back better than before.

The former half a Ruby Champion gave it her all in her fight with Amber Richards. In the end, it wasn't enough and it was Amber advancing in the Heiress to the Throne. That won't stop the Rose Goddess from continuing her ascent in the Diamonds' Ranks.
