I remember when Brie was wrestling (before Nikki made her debut). She was actually pretty good. Came from nowhere and beat Maryse who was getting a bit of a push, and then beat Natalya.

Maria's RoH work has been better than any female WWE valet has managed in the last... God. At least five years.

I don't know about that, Missy.

Personally, I preferred AJ Lee's run in 2011-12 and the development of her character.

I also thought Stephanie completely owned the valet role at Wrestlemania, reminding fans why she was one of the top heels in 2000. Nothing I've seen from Maria has touched that.

I don't think Maria is bad or anything but I just haven't seen anything from her that has blown my mind or anything. She does the PDA thing and gets a bunch of CM Punk chants thrown her way...I don't know what I'm supposed to be impressed about? The fact she keeps Bennett relevant is more of a minus in my books. :lol:

AJ did some fantastic work as a psycho girlfriend in 11/12, I agree. I overlooked her in that regard. I do think of her more as a wrestler than a valet, though.

Stephanie's hardly a full time valet either, for that matter. She's an authority figure who, from time to time, stands in her husband or one of his allies' corner. She does it very well, but I would never consider Stephanie to be a generic valet. I also find Stephanie to be grating at the best of times, so it's hard for me to enjoy anything she does. She's only slightly less annoying on the mic than Vickie Guerrero.

I'm talking about the Funkadactyls, the Lanas, the Rosas and Evas and Maryses and Bellas. They're people who have, by and large, been used in the capacity as set dressing for an in ring worker.

The fact Maria has managed to make Bennett relevant in spite of him being rather vanilla is a pretty strong testament to her work IMO. I get the joke you're making though :lol:

Ahh okay, I can see that.

I personally wouldn't count either AJ or Steph out because they were talented enough to specialise in other areas but in terms of just being a valet I guess I can agree with that but it's a bit like being the world's tallest midget. :lol:

You also have to admit Lana is making a great case for herself!

Lana is smoking hot and does a good accent. We'll see whether she can continue to do good work when Rusev's act grows stale.

List submitted, based 100% on tits and ass (expect high votes for Chyna and Nicole Bass) I find women's wrestling completely uninteresting save for the odd hot chick which now are too few and far between.

I didn't vote for either. Here's why:

Chyna: She was always obsessed in mixing it up with the men in the business, not the divas, which is why she lost points. Did she ever win the womens title? I don't think she did. I know she won the IC title. I think at one stage she was even the #1 contender for the WWF title. She wasn't a diva IMO, she was a mid-carder which is not right.

Nicole Bass was a body-builder, not a trained professional wrestler.

I didnt' vote for Kong either, she didn't even have an official WWE match, only competed in the Royal Rumble!

Chyna did win the Womens Title, at WM 17 against Ivory. Her going against men shouldn't change anything. It isn't favorite Divas ffs, it's favorite Women Wrestlers.

She wasn't a trained wrestler, and yet you voted the Bellas? :?

WWE is definitely not the be all end all of womens wrestling. I'm not the most well read on the subject, but Sara Del Rey is generally considered one of the best Women Wrestlers going around, and she never showed up on WWE TV.

My mistake - she did win the title. The thing is it was at a time when I wasn't following wrestling so I can't fully comment on that one. If I saw her dominate the womens division I would've voted for her, but I only saw her from around 98-99 in the heart of the attitude era.

Nicole Bass I didn'y ever see her wrestle, however I did see the Divas wrestle.

Bellas didn't make my list. Maybe if they had stayed heels they'd be slightly interesting. Another 6 months of Lana and i think she's going to be number 1 on almost every list.

The reference to chyna and nicole bass was obviously (to most) tongue in cheek, due to them both being very ugly men in even uglier masculine women costumes.

Lana in a bra and panties/mud/spanking/whatever other gimmick they had along those lines match sounds like just the ticket.
