1. Magnus Gunner (Last Ranking: 1)
-Oh, [BLEEP] me. Magnus Gunner is your new EXODUS Pro World Heavyweight champion. Strap in, people. This is gonna be a LOOOOOONG ride. But, as much as we all hate Magnus Gunner, "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" belonged to Christum Furor. From his bone chilling appearance at the beginning of the show, to his disgusting gathering of his Gods & Monsters troops at the end of the show, Magnus Gunner owned it. Even though it looks as Zack Lifer may have now separated himself from Gunner, Christum Furor picked up the World title, defeating three hungry competitors in Steve Lenton, Zero McHannon, and Chris Strike. Magnus Gunner would then go on, along with Ryuji Kamigawa and Kira T. Zeppeli, to destroy Fiona Rourke, Jonathan Collins, and the Honor Cup winner, Andreas Lasiewicz. If this continues. ALL WILL BE HELL.
2. Andreas Lasiewicz (Last Ranking: 8)
-I bet someone money that Andreas Lasiewicz was gonna win the Honor Cup? Who was it? Who did I bet? ....Ah, screw you guys. Andreas Lasiewicz leapfrogs into second on this week's rankings after putting on a historic performance to capture the 2014 Honor Cup. First, Andreas Lasiewicz would defeat International champion and one of his greatest foes in Zack Lifer to capture the International championship and a finals spot. Then he, along with some help, would help get rid of former GDW owner Dan Herrera from the building. Andreas would then enter the finals and defeat a very game Fiona Rourke in the show's main event, thus capturing the Honor Cup and a shot at the EXODUS Pro World Heavyweight championship. Unfortunately, the night would not end well for the "Morning Star" as Magnus Gunner and Ryuji and Kira would lay waste to him and friends Fiona Rourke and Jonathan Collins. Known for his short fuse, how will the "Morning Star" respond?
3. Fiona Rourke (Last Ranking: 7)
-Fiona Rourke had a rather up-and-down night herself as she goes up four spots in our rankings. In the opening match of the iPPV, Fiona (get used to never seeing her name and iPPV opener in the same sentence again) was able to defeat three other superstars in Jimmy Riley, Kira T. Zeppeli, and Savannah Taylor to not only win the San Diego Bay title and complete a Triple Crown (the first person ever in EXODUS history), but earn herself a spot in the finals. Unfortunately, Andreas Lasiewicz was able to keep the newly nicknamed "Stardust Seraph" down for a three count, giving Fiona second place in the Honor Cup. That wasn't the worst part of the night as she would also be involved in that heinous attack by Gods & Monsters. With the SDB strap around her waist, what will the "Triple Crown Seraph" (new nickname, YAY!) do next?
4. Zero McHannon (Last Ranking: 3)
-"Battle Without Honor or Humanity" could have been better for the former White Night. Zero McHannon, who pulled off one of the greatest World title victories when he defeated Adrien Cochrane and Heather Halliwell, headed into BWHOH with the World title in his possession. Zero would give the other three men in the match a hell of a fight, but he would not walk away with the EXODUS Pro World title. No, Magnus Gunner would end up taking the victory and the World title, leaving an absolutely crushed Zero in the ring. Now being the former World champion, Zero McHannon will have to make his way back to the top and it can all starts in two weeks time!
5. Jimmy Riley (Last Ranking: 5)
-Jimmy Riley defeated Blake Jones to win the San Diego Bay championship in his opening Block B match. He would then go on to retain the title against Cthulu in the next Block B match and would defeat Seymour Almasy to go a perfect 3-0 and win the entire block, guaranteeing him a spot in the semi-finals. Unfortunately, Jimmy Riley had to face three other people, and it ended up costing him as he would not only fail to advance to the finals, missing it out by a millisecond, but would have his title taken away from him by the winner of the fatal-four-way, Fiona Rourke. Jimmy Riley would show great sportsmanship after the match, congratulating Fiona. But, when asked backstage as to what was next for him, Jimmy Riley could only answer with "I don't know". What will happen in two weeks? Will the Risen Star find a new purpose?
6. Zack Lifer (Last Ranking: NR)
-Zack Lifer wanted nothing more than to be the man to hold the 2014 Honor Cup over his head. Lifer's road to the Honor Cup semi-finals could not have gone any better. He defeat Johnny Cannon and won the International title in an Honor Cup qualifier. He would then defeat Jaime Alejandro to retain his title and pick up a Block A victory, putting him in the driver's seat of the group. He would then defeat co-leader Anna Molly and would later clinch the block when Brett Sands would get himself disqualified. BWHOH sadly ended early for Zack Lifer as Andreas Lasiewicz would defeat him to not only take his International title, but to move on to the finals as well. The only positive that came out of this night for Zack Lifer was that it seems as if he finally grew a backbone and broke away from Gods & Monsters. Now, Zack Lifer has to rebound after such a tough loss and he can do so in two weeks!
7. Kira T. Zeppeli (Last Ranking: NR)
-To say Kira T. Zeppeli didn't earn his semi-final spot in the Honor Cup would be a lie. Sure, the guy pisses you off with his G&M alliance and shit, but he's talented. He defeated Fiona Rourke in the opening match of Block C and bested Sally Talfourd two weeks later. A loss to Savannah Taylor would unfortunately allow Fiona Rourke and Savannah Taylor entrance into the semis as well. The bad luck would continue for the despair feeder as in his semi-final fatal-four-way for the SDB championship and a spot in the finals, a person he defeated at the beginning of this whole thing, Fiona Rourke, would win the title and the qualifying spot. Kira's night wouldn't be done there as he and his G&M cohorts (minus a Zack Lifer), would destroy the two Honor Cup finalists and Jon Collins. With the Honor Cup in rearview, what is next for Kira T. Zeppeli?
8. Steve Lenton (Last Ranking: 2)
-The Big L takes a tumble down these rankings after his EXODUS Pro World title match. The Big L had a great hot streak going prior to the iPPV co-main event. He defeated Zero McHannon (who was the World champ at the time), then went on to defeat Chris Strike two weeks later to earn himself a spot in the World title match alongside Zero, Strike, and Gunner. Lenton would also defeat a very game Jaime Alejandro two weeks prior to Lenton's biggest match of his career. But, "The Big L" would fall just short of his dreams as he would only be a second away from breaking up the pin that ended up winning the match by Magnus Gunner. "The Big L" knows he's gotta shake it off and regroup and he'll likely be trying to do just that in two weeks.
9. Jaime Alejandro (Last Ranking: NR)
-Jaime Alejandro may have been one of the best talents in the Honor Cup to not make it to the semi-finals. After gaining entry to the Honor Cup by replacing fellow Shoot Project wrestler Dan Stein, Jaime would come close to capturing the International title against Zack Lifer. He would then face a cocky, but tough Brett Sands, only to be met with a baseball bat to the head. Jaime would then take on "The Big L" and would give the man a run for his money, but would fall short. When the time came for that no disqualification match between Jaime and Brett, both men. The match, while having some referee interferences (Sands getting hit and Jaime getting violated, picture-wise), was even more brutal than advertised. Both men were busted up, but Jaime walked away with the hard-fought victory. Now, what's next for the Strong Style Saint?
10. Adrien Cochrane (Last Ranking: NR)
-Adrien Cochrane returns to our top 10 list after a hiatus of sorts. Cochrane started off this cycle possibly worse than a former World champion should have, losing to almost a complete newcomer in Brett Sands. But, he would rebound by defeating people like Parker Wayde and Spirit Z in the following weeks to lead to this. A match against PDW's own Brandon Banks. The match would be for a contract for Banks, but after a little interruption thanks to Andreas Lasiewicz and Dan Herrera, Adrien Cochrane would nail his patented Adrien Cutter and would pin one of PDW's best. Now, the Dropkick King might have his sights set on something else and we can find out what in just two weeks time!
