Wrestling Wonders Women Pro 25

As written after the Wrestling Wonders Pro 50 (for the males), on Decemeber 27th 2011, the top 25 females of the profession now take the stage. WW didn't upload as too many rankings thrown out simultaneously would dilute and also we undestand that readers can only comprehend so much at one time, and the Women need to be appreciated also for their contributions to the sport.

Who proved they had the most over the course of the last year to be among the top 25?

Take a look...

NATALYA 
WWE

WWE’s pure wrestling female. Whilst losing a few places due to sacrificial lamb and putting talent over, the Divas champion’s best partner in wrestling crime couldn’t be allowed to deliver faultless performances on her own standing, which was disheartening. Hopefully 2012 will rectify this. Natalya is the only Woman in WWE that can truly mark its territory in the division and can also stand strong alongside Phoenix.

As champion at Royal Rumble, clearly wouldn’t defeat the odds when LayCool, as separate competitors where joined with a mystery opponent in a now Fatal 4 Way match for her title which was lost to Eve. Layla took the pinfall.

Among the supplemental draft in April, Natalya was drafted back to Smackdown, thus removed from the title picture. Took defeat to then champion Brie Bella in her return match.

In May, Nat was an on-screen mentor to AJ and Kaitlyn, also doubling as manager at ringside. All three occasionally fought against Tamina, Alicia Fox and Rosa Mendes through the mid-year.

On Smackdown’s August 5^th broadcast, Natalya flawed AJ in a match, then turning on her protégé similar to Beth/Kelly and joined with Beth Phoenix to remove all the Barbie tarts from WWE’s Womens division that cause dishonour to it.

Phoenix and Natalya defeated The Chickbusters (AJ and Kaitlyn) on the August 12^th. Falling to Eve and Kelly Kelly to build them as bigger entities, Natalya’s position was harmed in the process on Raw over the September period.

Accompanied Beth to ringside at Hell In A Cell, as Phoenix was victorious. Though was banned at Vengeance, as outside roles were not important. Backstage attacks on Kelly Kelly were blamed for this.

Needs to be switched to the Raw brand via the draft. Must be built with Phoenix instead of being sacrificial lamb to all unnecessary Diva’s. With a Beth V Natalya feud in WWE’s pipeline, both should be allowed a maximum of one year to build, crush and redefine the ailing division seeing as WWE’s only pure wrestling female is being under-classed disgracefully, and forced to job illogically.

13

SHIMMER

Defeated Jessie McKay and Ayumi Kurihara at Volumes 37 and 38 on March 26.

WWE

Formed Divas of Doom, and then the Sisters of Salvation with gal pal Natalya.

Phoenix was allowed a detrimental loss to Kelly at Summerslam.

September had Phoenix and Natalya battle Kelly and Eve on Raw while disappearing from the spectrum over to Smackdown battling AJ and Kaitlyn.

Night of Champions saw another challenge from Beth to Kelly for the title, though unsuccessful due to making Kelly seem a worthy champion, which Phoenix sold immensely.

December 18^th reinstalled Kelly Kelly at TLC which Phoenix flattened once again. Lost to Alicia Fox on Dec 19^th in which the bumbling Fox smashed Phoenix with minor and painful injury through incompetence.

Now WWE’s Premier Woman, needs to be given competent opponents to redefine female values and must have Natalya seem to be her equal to dominate the Women’s industry for at least a year.

Phoenix redefined the WWE division, though hasn’t had enough credible competition to play with. Though she has done enough with her impressive streak, aggression and lengthy run as champion to bump her position to the top five.

The following month at Slammiversary IX, claimed another success against Angelina Love, with title on the line, however afterwards Love and Winter attacked the champ.

June 23^rd‘s Impact, saw James rebuffed by Winter in a non-title Street Fight, with outside interference from Love. Leading on to August 7^th at Hardcore Justice, where James yielded the Knockout Championship to Winter, following multiple intervention from Love, snowed over with red mist from Winter.

The next broadcast on Impact, James defeated Madison Rayne attaining a rematch instead of being given one contractually, for the title. The September 1^st episode of Impact, witnessed James supplant Winter, regaining the Knockouts Championship.

At No Surrender, James switched the title back to Winter, rendering both competitors as transitional champions, in another disastrous booking. Impact’s September 22^nd show, dropped Brooke Tessmacher to gain another shot at the Knockouts Championship at Bound for Glory, in a four-way match with champion Winter, Rayne and Velvet Sky, who would eventually leave the pay-per-view as the new champion.

On November 17^th won a Gauntlet match against nine other females earning a title shot once more. At Final Resolution, Gail Kim, as champion, kept James at bay, retaining the Knockouts Championship, following a distraction from Madison Rayne.

Always in the title match, deserved, is booked irrationally by TNA and eventually the same match earning rights will become outdated, boring and cripple James as an excellent force in Women’s wrestling. Mustn’t be booked as a gimmick and as a stronghold of TNA Knockout’s credibly.

March 26^th saw Martinez unable to wrest title from Eagles, then successful in singles over Rachel Summerlyn at SHIMMER 37 and 38 then on March 27^th beat Christina Von Eerie at Volume 40.

Martinez began her third WXW Championship reign (for 206 days) on September 10.

Managing to become the Queen of the ring in a King and Queen tournament, with Julio Dinero,In October, with the combined Women Superstars Uncensored and National Wrestling Superstars promotions.

October 1^st gave more strength to her core in unchallenged victories.

Her heel turn on October 2nd after being a fan favourite turned the atmosphere with sheer delight. Among SHIMMER, with this, she began her feud with Athena. With Athena ended on a draw and loss by DQ in another trivial and tested exchange between both fluently.

Reigning champion for over a year kept wrestling strengthened for females. Can she be toppled next year? Martinez has intense qualities in ring, and will need something extra to tender her position at the top.

Could not be toppled with impressive wrestling and record as champion.
