Pro Wrestling Illustrated – Top 50 of 2011… Are you kidding?

Pro Wrestling Illustrated – Top 50 of 2011… Are you kidding?
I have been bursting at the seams trying to figure out how this list is decided. Not to say that every WWE Diva doesn’t really know much about wrestling, but let us be honest, most of them don’t. WWE Divas are mostly models trained to ‘attempt’ to wrestle and to us viewers of the wrestling universe, is difficult to watch, we are not idiots generally speaking. Sure, they are good ‘eye candy’ but we can get that sweet-tooth fixed by watching Manswers.
This isn’t my only problem with the top 50 list….lets dissect the PWI top 50 women wrestlers of 2011;
1. Madison Eagles – 1st off, she does belong in the top 10, but number 1? She is the Shimmer champion but the only top names she has defeated are Sassy Stephie and Cheerleader Melissa.
2. Mercedes Martinez – Should be number 1! Defeated everyone in the business and always has at least 1 title, currently WXW Women’s champion.
3. Mickie James – Overrated; though she seems to maintain a certain fan base. She can wrestle but should she be in the top 3? …we don’t think so.
4. Natalya – This one they had right. Not your normal WWE Diva, obviously.
5. Madison Rayne – She is a good wrestler and deserves to be in the top 50, but not the top 10.
6. Cheerleader Melissa – Melissa belongs in the top 10, she is a future legend.
7. Beth Phoenix – We agree this woman has unlimited potential, but she hasn’t done much of anything for a while, so how the heck can you put her in the top 10?
8. Tara – Tara deserves recognition, just not this much.
9. MsChif – Should be in the top 3! She has held titles for years at a time, recently. She is an INDY future hall of famer.
10. Sara Del Rey – Tough girl, deserves her spot.
11. Eve Torres – WTH? She can hardly wrestle, doesn’t belong in the top 50.
12. Angelina Love – Very talented, and may deserve her spot, though TNA has been using her as some kind of sidekick, way to go TNA creatives.
13. Layla – Quoting The Miz here….”Really?…. Really?…. Reaaallly?”
14. Sarita – Under-used, deserves more exposure… but deserves a top 20 spot.
15. Kelly Kelly – Do we even call this one a wrestler?
16. Serena Deeb – Would be a good fit in TNA, not sure about her spot, but she definitely belongs amongst the top 50 elite
17. Velvet Sky- She has earned this spot.
18. Ayako Hamada – She was shafted out of TNA, if she had a good platform/promotion she would be an easy top 10.
19. LuFisto – Tough girl, and fits in her spot.
20. Winter – Doesn’t belong in the top 50… not yet.
21. Brie Bella – Isn’t she a valet? Almost forgot, WWE gave her a title to hold for a while. Ugh.
22. Angel Orsini – Should be in the top 10! High caliber wrestling every time she enters the ring.
23. Melina – She has some skills but now is deemed irrelevant after WWE dropped her.
24. Daizee Haze – Love to watch her wrestle, fun to watch, just hasn’t won that ‘break-out’ title yet.
25. Nikki Roxx – Great competitor, but is never completely taken serious.
26. Gail Kim – She hasn’t done anything and doesn’t belong in the top 50. WWE may have ruined her career, she should have stayed in TNA.
27. Jazz – Deserves her spot.
28. Maryse – This is not a popularity contest, what is she doing here?
29. Christina Von Eerie – OK with this.
30. Portia Perez – OK with this too.
31. Rosita – Not OK at all with this. She shouldn’t be in here.
32. ODB – We like her style, she fits in the top 50
33. Nicole Matthews – Belongs
34. Rachel Summerlyn – Belongs
35. Jessicka Havok – Allysin Kay should fit in here as well.
36. Brittany Force – Big fan, deserves her spot.
37. Kellie Skater- OK
38. Tina San Antonio – OK
39. Melanie Cruise – love it
40. Cherry Bomb – I guess
41. Sassy Stephie – I think she was shafted, deserves a better spot
42. Tasha Simone – Yes, underrated even.
43. Alicia Fox – Maybe in the top 100.
44. Amber O’Neal – Deserves top 50 status.
45. Allison Danger – Deserves top 50 status.
46. Kacee Carlisle – Belongs in the top 25.
47. Brittany Savage – Yes, she has been good for Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU)
48. A.J. – Boring!!!
49. Melissa Coates – Works for us.
50. Jessica James – OK
Though so many are missing… is this to fill in the WWE wrestlers so WWE fans can see where their favorite ‘eye candy’ fits in. Where is Kimberly? You know, WXW Women’s Champion for the better part of the last 2 years. Where is Niya Barela, C4 champion? Saraya or Britani Knight? How about Mickie Knuckles or Jessie Smothers? Chrissy Johnson?
Let us not be fooled by the PWI popularity contest, Mae Young wrestles better now then Eve Torres!
