MOVEMENTS & EXPLANATIONS

^CHollis Giroux shocked Kansas City when he rolled up Ace Hawkins to win the State title on May 11. Perhaps the most-unexpected MWR champion yet, editors anticipate Giroux taking on top-ranked competition in the near future.

^#1Ricky Cruz and ^#4Derek Stone are the big shakeups this period.

Cruz is on a winning streak that warrants the top spot. Along the way, he picked up the MMWA Championship from Barackus.

Stone beat ^#7Jon Webb and Shannon Reed for the WLW and KCXW titles, respectively, in the same two-month period!

Note the large ratings gap between the top eight and everyone else. The “elite eight” are the guys to beat, for sure. Everyone else is so tightly rated, anyone could emerge from the pack next period.
