WWE.com recently listed its Top 25 Most Impactful Women.
Here's the list with my thoughts.
25. Torrie Wilson. Deserves to be on this list, but should be ranked higher.
24. Bull Nakano. Vastly underrated, along with her unique look.
23. Ivory. I can't argue her being on the list. Probably should be higher, as she had a long run.
22. Kelly Kelly. If you factor in her ECW routines, I guess that would be impactful. But I'd put the first three ahead of her.
21. Jacqueline. Decent run, but not as impactful as several mentioned above.
20. Vickie Guerrero. Probably should be ranked higher, although she's been more impactful the last few years.
19. Molly Holly. Passion for the sport, and nothing bad is ever said about her.
18. Stacy Keibler. I'd put Torrie Wilson ahead of her, as Stacy didn't wrestle as much.
17. Beth Phoenix. Dominating, and the current version of Chyna. She will only move up on this list.
16. Luna Vachon. Unique and involved in many angles has her placed at the right spot.
15. Miss Elizabeth. Worse ranking on the entire list. She should be in the top three, and a case could be made for making her No. 1.
14. Melina. Seems like she's ranked too high, but of the current ones listed above, she's been around the longest.
13. Alundra Blaze. Right ranking spot here. The lasting image of her dropping the women's title into the garbage on Nitro defines impactful.
12. Mae Young. Longetivity, and should be ranked higher.
11. Wendi Richter. One of the top women wrestlers of my time, who I think should be ranked higher.
10. Michelle McCool. Did the Undertaker compile this list? While a great wrestler, she hasn't been around long enough to warrant this spot.
9. Sunny. Probably at the right spot when you see the names below. She was impactful.
8. Lita. Had an amazing run, and an awesome feud with Trish Stratus.
7. Mickie James. Glad to see her ranked this high, as she's probably the best current women's wrestler.
6. Sable. Definitely made an impact, and pushed the censors like few others.
5. Stephanie McMahon. I can't argue this one. Check the last name.
4. Sensational Sherri. Manager and wrestler helps her ranking here. She definitely had an impressive run.
3. Chyna. She changed women's wrestling with her power game and appearance. And she has out-of-ring appeal.
2. The Fabulous Moolah. Definitely top two.
1. Trish Stratus. Deserves a top-five ranking, but I wouldn't have her No. 1 here.
Final thoughts: My top three, keeping in mind that this is for "impact," would be Moolah (1), Miss Elizabeth (2) and then Trish Stratus (3). I'd round out my top five with Chyna (4) and Sable (5).
LATEST HEADLINES AND MY REACTS
WWE
Wrestling fan Jereme, according to f4wonline.com, said facing Triple H at a WrestleMania guarantees you a world championship 10 of the last 11 times, except for Shawn Michaels. REACT: While Sheamus has already had a world-title run, he'll get more.
TNA Wrestling
Scott Steiner cool with Ric Flair. REACT: Refreshing if accurate, as these two hated each other.
Morale is up, but there is criticism over "big-name stars" not having to work many if any house shows. REACT: Such is life.
Hulk Hogan reportedly enjoyed being portrayed as someone who was old and shouldn't be wrestling anymore. REACT: I enjoyed the angles as well. It seemed real and heartfelt.
Jeff Hardy report of working about 100 dates in 12 months. REACT: That's not "big-name star," as that means some house shows.
