Next an amendment on my part. I completely forgot to include Charlotte in Ric Flair’s poll and while she may or may not have won, I want to make sure we include women in here too, so here’s a quick bonus round (that poll’s winner will be up next, going to do a couple in quick succession) especially as Charlotte is currently on hiatus so WOOOOOOOOOO THE QUEEN IS HERE IT’S THE MOST DECORATED WOMAN IN ALL OF WRESTLING, THE DYNASTY, ONE-QUARTER OF THE HORSEWOMEN OF WRESTLING, IT’S…

She’s a 4. Got the look and posture of a star, clearly one of the best workers of the current generation, but I don’t enjoy her storylines very much - they need to either lean much heavier on the “chosen one” thing and shove it down everyone’s throats properly to make her the biggest heal in the business, or take her in a completely different direction. Just inserting her into any title storyline without an authority figure working with her gives her go-away heat, not heel heat.
Oh, and the figure 8 really bugs me as a finisher. It looks less painful than a figure 4.
Charlotte is a 4 from me. I can’t give her a 5 yet because she’s only 6 years into her professional career, but my word she’s acheived a lot in that time. Yes she’s been booked like Poochie Reigns at times, but she backs it up by putting on consistently brilliant matches, the biggest firsts, moments, storylines. I know there is a healthy dose of nepotism slapped in there, but she always comes across like she truly earned her position (it wasn’t her dream originally, after all) and she’s SUCH A GOOD HEEL HOW SHE IS EVER BOOKED AS ANYTHING ELSE IS BEYOND ME.
Her series with Sasha was great, but her series with Becky as she elevated herself to “The Man” with Charlotte as her foil was one of the best and most engaging pieces of wrestling storytelling in a very long time. Her stuff with Rhea and Io just a few months ago proved she is not only still top-level but that she can elevate the younger/lesser-known talent onto that level too. She’s not my girl Becky, but she’s right up there with her.
reminds me of njpw shinsuke as she phones it in a bit on the shows that don’t matter but good god will she deliver on the important ones. might go as far to say as she’s the best big match performer in the entire company
seems like a gbol too. becky has said that back when she was being ignored, charlotte was always pushing for creative to include her in angles and stuff, think naomi has said similar
Probably the 2nd best worker of the horsewomen behind Sasha, but due to various things (including lets be honest who her Dad is) has been pushed on top at all times. Thing is it doesn’t feel too bad because she quite often puts together very solid matches anywhere on the card.
That said nothing special on the mic, does have a good amount of charisma though the fact she’s not really become a household name like some top women have over the years - wouldn’t quite put her at a Trish or Lita level despite her work, is testament to just a little something missing.
