AJ is a great mixture of good on the mic,good at the outside the ring stuff and good in the ring. I love the "crazy hot woman" gimmick she was doing for awhile. And I have only seen one bad match from her. That was against one of the Bellas. The Bellas ,in my eyes, have almost no wrestling talent.
TIE
Yes I know she doesn't use that name anymore. So far I have only seen here on various Wrestling is FUN! shows. And she was the stand out to me. Working a mixture of American ladies style plus lucha libre. Her flexibility and just general athleticism impressed me. I hope the rumors about why she has changed her name and isn't working for the WIF fed anymore aren't true. But she is one I can easily see getting one day called up to WWE or TNA. Plus think how over with kids she would be doing the intergalactic luchadore gimmick would be.
4.Mickie James AKA Alexis Laree
The first time I saw Mickie she was wrestling as Alexis Laree in WEW. My late grandmother had bought me a WEW dvd set. I am sure she got it because she knew I love wrestling and it was 8 hours of wrestling for $5. Well out of those 8 hours the only matches worth watching all had Alexis in them. Mickie then came over to the WWE and exploded. Her feud with Trish is one of the highlights of that era of WWE. In the ring Mickie is very well rounded. And when she is a heel she is great on the mic. As a face her mic work isn't as good. But still she is a great talent. Maybe one day she will come back to WWE. But if the rumors about why her contract wasn't renewed are true I don't see her coming back.
I first saw Ivory in GLOW and she my favorite. Then after GLOW folded I forgot about her. In 1999 she started in the WWF. I knew she looked familiar but I really had no idea why. It wasn't until a year later I found out she was from GLOW. I loved how when she first showed up in WWF she was one of the few Divas that was actually a wrestler first. It seemed to me that during that year all the other Divas were models/fitness trainers/etc that were trained to be wrestlers. Ivory was a wrestler first. And what a wrestler she was. She is one of the few female wrestlers that I could see facing off against the males and looking legit in it. Since she left WWE she hasn't done that much. But I sometimes dig out my old "Ivory comp" tape and watch it.
I came to the Ms Chif party way late. In 2008 I found a bunch of Gateway Championship Wrestling Ms Chif matches for download. I grabbed them and was blown away. Earlier I mentioned how flexible Saturyne is. But Ms Chif is like one of those Gumby dolls. Since then I have wondered why TNA or WWE never picked her up. Then I found out thanks to the PBS documentary "The Secret Life of Scientists and Engineers" she works in a lab as a genetics scientist.
Since I gave up on WCW after Starrcade 1997 I never saw any of Molly in WCW. But once she showed up in WWF and had her first match I was majorly impressed. Not only is she a very nice looking woman but she is a great wrestler. Starting off as the younger cousin of Crash and Hardcore Holly,Molly excelled at playing the wide eyed innocent country girl. But when she went from blonde to brunette and became a heel is when she really proved to me she is the best female wrestler I have ever seen. Many many times she was stuck in there with barely trained models. And she would do everything she could to make sure the match was good. I am still pissed about one of her last angles in the WWE. Where the announcers and some of the other wrestlers were calling her fat. Molly is far from fat. And I hate how the US culture has tried to convince people that if you are a woman and above a size 3 you are fat. Molly is a healthy looking woman. She retired from the ring for various reasons. And after watching her self produced shoot interview I became a even bigger fan. She talked about how she retired so she could help out her family and she had a health scare. Since her retirement she has traveled to many third world countries and helped build homes and schools. She worked for a drug counseling center. I would love to see her come back to wrestling, but if she doesn't at least I got plenty of tapes and DVDs of her matches.
