So who are the Top 20 Women's wrestlers?

It's a bunch of women from the Joshi scene, plus probably Sara Del Rey & Mildred Burke. Maybe Cheerleader Melissa, it's been too long since I watched SHIMMER. But it's names like Hokuto, Kong, Nakano, Lioness Asuka, Nagayo, Yokota, Sekimoto, Ueda, Sato, Kudo. Io Shirai for modern workers has a far better case than Charlotte Flair.

If you never saw it at the time, there's a tweet in the Joshi thread with a link to an archive of the All Japan Women Classics shows & it's great way to get familiar with these greats.

The worst part eas him comparing her to Ric in saying like him she could work any style anywhere which means he literally has never seen Ric wrestle either.

She can't even work the house style that's specifically built around her correctly, let alone any other kind

I like that split-second pause where Charlotte realizes that Carmella is nowhere close to catching her but decides to go through with the pre-scripted spot anyway.

It's pretty impressive how the WWE house style makes people either incapable or afraid of doing any improvisation whatsoever. A normal wrestler in a normal company would know to do literally anything else in that situation.

Oh yeah, Ric's an all-timer, maybe even the GOAT as a performer, but it's 100% not because of his chameleonic ability to mimic any style in the ring.

wrestlers aren't wrestlers if they can't adapt and adjust according to the crowd and the flow of the match. most PC graduates can't be bad workers because they aren't workers in the first place. they're athletes that are taught a rigid series of spots that they rehearse for a month in the performance center. athleticism is the least important part of pro wrestling and the PC values it above anything else

Ric's greatest ability as a wrestler was making his opponent look like a legitimate challenger. Charlotte's is I guess stiffing her opponent unnecessarily and making weird grunts when she starts getting tired :shrug:

One of my favourite things to follow in wrestling is like the careers of people that clearly aren't big athletes who debut; because its often a lot more rewarding to follow the wrestler that has to loving work really hard to learn everything they can to get better at wrestling over the people that are world class athletes and can use that to cover up their flaws. Often its the former that end up as the better wrestlers since the latter assume that they'll always have their athleticism so don't learn things and then when they lose it; they lost most of what makes them good.

that tweet is like an AEW employee saying Russo should be Raw general manager or something.
