TNA's Top Ten rankings for July

TNA announced their latest top ten ratings for the month of July, and I have to admit that it looks pretty solid, top to bottom.  The last two, top ten’s that they did had at least a few area’s to improve upon, but I can’t really find too much to complain about in July.  So lets go ahead and have a look at where everybody stands.

10) “The Freak” Rob Terry    9)  “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero     8.) Kurt Angle     7) Hernandez    

6) A.J. Styles     5) Jay Lethal     4) Samoa Joe     3) Mr Anderson     2) Jeff Hardy     1) Abyss

     The good thing about this months ranking, is that they broke the three way tie that they had from last month, and made Abyss the number one contender.  This will make most people happy, as we are all glad to see the return of “The Monster” as opposed to Abyss “The Hulkamaniac”.   The rest of the top five is exactly what you would expect, with Jay Lethal and Samoa Joe both moving up, due to their respective winning streaks.  A.J. Styles at number six, isn’t a surprise, since he has been moving down steadily, due to his recent problems and a bit of a losing streak.  The only real surprise is Hernandez entering the top ten at number seven.  I guess that the last few spots were pretty much already determined, so they had to put somebody in there.  But honestly, despite his win in the cage match, I would have given that spot to Matt Morgan.  I guess the reasoning here is that the person in the seventh position is going to be Kurt Angle’s next opponent, so give the match to Hernandez, since we have already seen Angle defeat Morgan.  Angle leapfrogs over “The Pope” after their match, making Angle number 8 and Dinero number 9.  But don’t expect “The Pope” to stay near the bottom for very long.  He and Angle with both be racing to the top in the next few months.  And the other minor surprise is “The Freak” Rob Terry cracking the top ten again, in the bottom position.  It still amazes me that somebody who holds a Heavyweight Championship in TNA, barely makes the top ten, and last month wasn’t even in it.  For the love of all that is holy in Wrestling, can somebody please beat this stiff, and take away that Title.  Maybe then it will actually be worth something.

     So, there you have it , the top ten for July, and a few thoughts on how it panned out.  I think they are actually starting to get better at making this list, and listening to the fans.  Lets hope they can keep it up.
