We need more female wrestlers...

AnubisPosted on 07/07/04 at 01:02:22

I see a host of female wrestler profiles out there, yet there are minimal female wrestler exports.  Is anyone working on making profiles for more female wrestlers?
AnubisPosted on 07/16/04 at 22:52:06

Bump.
xsouporheroxPosted on 07/16/04 at 23:09:42

There aren't that many good and or well known female wrestlers.
darkmimePosted on 07/17/04 at 21:50:20

It would be nice if their was a plugin to make seperate male and female rosters.

I mentioned my Lou Thesz/Viscera mystery match in another thread, but before that I had a Abdullah the Butcher v Tori.

Not exactly an exciting match! (Well, ok so Tori won, but that's not the point  :o)
AnubisPosted on 07/18/04 at 04:36:44

Not in America, but that's because WWE controls things around here and they don't know their asses from holes in the ground when it comes to proper booking.  They have a history of not using women properly.  Hell, just check out Trish Stratus's push and Molly Holly's shaved head for perfect examples.

In Japan, most of the Japanese women are better in-ring workers than most American men.  Women like Manami Toyota or Mima Shimoda (who thankfully do have exports) can literally embarass guys like the Rock, Triple H, and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the ring.
xsouporheroxPosted on 07/18/04 at 06:47:45

I doubt they could embarras HHH or Austin, but it depends on what you mean by that. Even joshi is on a big decline right now though.

Trish can work. She gets better every time she's out there and she is no slouch in the ring.

And at least America has Cheerleader Melissa.

Actually, Molly Holly and Victoria are not bad wrestlers either. Gail Kim has potential. Nidia, on the other hand should be sent back to OVW. Lita should also be sent to OVW to get back into pre-neckbreak shape.

Actually, I mean with pure work rate.  HHH, Austin, and Rock couldn't hold a candle to them as far as ring ability goes.  Those chicks can blow them out of the water.

Maybe, but she's still one of the worst female workers in WWE.  Molly Holly, Victoria, Lita, Gail Kim, and several others are far above her.  Heck, only Jackie Gayda and Nidia are worse, honestly.
xsouporheroxPosted on 07/18/04 at 23:17:30

Trish is about ten times the worker that Lita is now. Trish is honestly in the top three active female works in WWE now, behind Molly and Victoria.

And what is your definition of pure work rate exactly?
91Posted on 07/19/04 at 00:40:53

Lita? She's as sloppy as they come. I agreed with Matt Hardys recent column in that she's got a lot to offer (for one, she's mad over and for another, I have a thing for redheads) but she's pretty poor in the ring and has previously based her ringwork on the fact she was the only female on the roster who could do a moonsault, and now that's not even true anymore.

Trish might not be a workrate queen (she's not bad I guess, always improving her work) but she blows Lita out of the water.

Incidentally I just saw you used the exact same water analogy, Anubis. I guess great minds really do think alike in some ways. :P
Snabbit888Posted on 07/19/04 at 01:11:50

There's something wrong with Lita's timing.  Everything she does looks a step and a half behind all the other women she wrestles.

Don't forget Stacy Keibler! That girl can't wrestle out of a wet paper bag even if there was a big hole in  the bottom
xsouporheroxPosted on 07/21/04 at 07:29:10

Yeah, I'll be happy if Stacy, Nidia, Torrie, Sable, Dawn Marie, and Miss Jackie all never wrestle another match.

I don't know about Nidia, she's still better than Jackie Gayda, but that's not saying much! Nidia's problem is that she is green and was straddled on Smackdown, I mean come on, SmackDown is not a really good place to hone your skills in a woman's division when the top "talents" there are Torrie Wilson and Sable! Make no wonder Nidia is green.
xsouporheroxPosted on 07/21/04 at 17:56:21

Nidia's problem is have huge balloons stuck up her shirt.
Owen Hart RIPPosted on 07/21/04 at 18:58:22

LOL! True, and besides it's not like Nidia had small boobs to begin with! Why the hell did she need to look like a skanky porn star?
AnubisPosted on 07/21/04 at 23:49:26

Well, she IS skanky.  She used to be somewhat good looking.  Then again, same goes for Stephanie McMahon, and she's one majorly ugly ho now.

Well her character is that of a skanky trailer park trash slapper, so I guess it's character enhancement. ;)

lol
Gaijin Dan MastrianiPosted on 08/05/04 at 01:47:47

Eh. The camera hates Nidia. I had a chance to meet her at Vengence, and she's much better looking in person.
Shadow_MaxxPosted on 09/12/04 at 23:27:43

most american promotions don't take women's wrestling seriously, which is a shame, because if they had a few female wrestlers who, you know, could wrestle an actual match, they could probably pick up a few more viewers.

i think the main problem is exposure. i mean, yeah, there are female wrestlers in the wwe, what most americans are exposed to, but i can't see anyone actually using them in tnm. or, heaven forbid, winning a title. the only female wrestler i can even name off the top of my head i wouldn't mind using is megumi kudo, but a) she's a garbage wrestler and b) i hardly know anything about her, save seeing her retirement match.

ah well. better luck in 20 years or so.
americamamushiPosted on 09/13/04 at 00:32:37

I've run joshi circtuits before.  Only used a select few non-japanese women's wrestlers though, like Molly Holly and female luchadores
CarlzillaPosted on 09/14/04 at 17:54:33

I don't know if I would consider Megumi Kudo a garbage wrestler...sure she did a few garbage matches...but she's also a decent worker.

Now Shark or Chingusa Nagayo...those are female garbage wrestlers...
Rick GarrardPosted on 09/16/04 at 03:49:26

so was Dump Matsumoto... and her group of thugs that used to repeatedly beat on and make the Jumping Bomb Angels bleed from those nifty aluminum cans that were so conveniently placed under the AJW rings.
rey619Posted on 09/22/04 at 12:18:50

Here's a suggestion to the one who started this thread .. I was thinking of maybe importing some female fantasy wrestlers (check out TNM UK), and replacing the names, statistics and the finishers with some of the Indy Women. You can find this information at www.obsessedwithwrestling.com
The moveset and stats won't be accurate, but at least you will get some variaton. It's not like most of us know these Women anyway.
JoeDesertratPosted on 08/29/05 at 06:50:39

You can create your own women wrestlers. I gave up on the male wrestlers when the ratings stratified too much (and pro wrestling, in the US at least, started on its decline) and I have much more fun with the three women's circuits I run. I currently have 174 women wrestlers spread over the 3 circuits plus free agents.
Think about it. There are thousands of actresses, models, porn stars whatever for which you can create in ring personas. Not to mention all the tv and movie characters they've played.
You can also clone male wrestlers to female wrestlers in the game. Just change the name, sex, height and weight and anything else needed to create your female wrestlers.
Just looking at the first couple of pages of wrestlers in TNM gives me a few ideas. For example, try Adriana Adonis. Change Alex's to Alexandra's, Al's to Alice's, Steve's to Stephanie's. The Sandwoman. Tammy Dreamer.
Your imagination is the limit.

If anyone's interested I'd be happy to send exports of my wrestlers.
