POWER X- April 2013

The Power X’s inspirational thought of the week-

“You asked for it, you got it, Toyota.”- Arthur Andrews (as played by William Hickey)  “Forget Paris”

Yes, folks!   It’s back!   After two months of riots in the streets and children weeping in their beds, the Power X has finally made its return by popular demand!  We’re keeping it a bit on the simplified side, because of time constraints (as in, I’m not spending two days to write a damn column again.).  So it’s just going to be the rankings from here on in.  And we’re only going to be doing it in the wake of major PPVs, so you’ll only be seeing it every two months.

As such, the rules are changed.

-      All wrestlers who competed for FFW during the last PPV cycle are eligible, and every eligible wrestler is ranked.  However, we’ll just be focusing on the Top 40.  Think of me as Casey Kaseum.  But less sexy, more witty, and not dead.

For the first incarnation of the new Power X… sixty four women qualified.  The twenty four women who were ranked too low are listed as such.

#64- SOPHIA BLACK
#63- CRYSTAL HATE
#62- MELODY WILLIAMS
#61- PARIS XIONIS
#60- SHELBI LYNN CARTER
#59- ENIGMA
#58- ALLISON WILLIAMS
#57- MAIA LOPEZ
#56- REBBECCA VALENTINE
#55- ALEXIS
#54- DANIELLE ARISU
#53- ARIANNA MANNING
#52- MARISSA KANE
#51- HANNA ELLIOT
#50- ASHLEY WHITMORE
#49- SOPHIE RICHARDS
#48- DESIRAE KAIN
#47- RAVEN WICKED
#46- CLAIRE BLACK
#45- CHRISTELLE GILLET
#44- KINSEY ROBINSON
#43- NICOLE WHITMORE
#42- TRINITY
#41- JO MCFARLANE

And now.. the top 40.

40		ABBY FITZPATRICK	Abby hasn’t been seen too much, her last match being a Future Shock Championship tournament loss to Casey Atherton.  But word is she will be participating in the upcoming Breaking Point from Indianapolis.
39		RAQUEL FAIR	Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing the Scarborough Fair in an FFW ring anytime soon, as their loss to Anger Management was a loser leaves town match…
38		MICKEY SCARBOROUGH	…however, I’m proud to announce that CGE will continue to manage their music career, as well as them joining Christian Kincaid’s school to help teach new tag teams the ropes.
37		CANDI	After coming into FFW on a definite hot streak, Candi has hit a bit of a cold spell, losing her last five consecutive matches.
36		JESSIKA HEXSTAR	It’s actually kind of worrying me just how many friends my psychotic cousin’s managed to win over in the last two months.  A lot more than matches she’s won, that’s for sure.
35		MILEENA SAVAGE	Mileena came into FFW on a tear, beating Claire Black in her debut, but we haven’t seen her, since she finished second in the extreme battle royal.
34		STACEY ALLEN	Why is the Undefeated One so low?  Because she hasn’t proven herself anything better than the Power Trip’s lickspittle since returning.  Dubious title wins over in SVW are not going to change that.
33		PENNY BUCHANAN	After losing the rubber match to Payton, Penny seems to have found her niche- the Unity Division, where she’s forming quite the formidable tag team with April Evans.
32		MISS DEMEANOR	I wouldn’t be considering MD a threat to any titles in the near future, but it’s clear that’s not exactly high on her priority list.  She wants Power Trip scalps, and she nearly got herself a few at Chaos Theory
31		STEPHANIE SULLIVAN	Steph can bitch and moan all she wants, but I stand by what I’ve said.  Every true submissionist wrestler in FFW breathed a sigh of relief when Serafina forced her to tap out to keep her from the No Surrender Championship.
30		APRIL EVANS	There’s actually a chance that April may be the quickest double champion in FFW history.  She’s still in the mix for the Future Shock Championship, and the way Anger management is going…
29		PAYTON ST. PIERRE	As could be expected, PayPay didn’t exactly take her loss in the Chase for The Crown graciously.  I have a feeling Kinsey’s going to want a bit of payback after that tantrum.
28		CASEY ATHERTON	It’s been a rough few months for Casey, apparently being kicked out of the Adonis household, and losing her Tag Titles.  She’s still in the mix for the Future Shock belt though.
27		KARA HARRINGTON	Who’s have thought that the psycho queen’s undoing would be a couple of teenagers.  Not Kara, judging by her reaction after tasting a flaming table.
26		GIGANTE	You’d be hard pressed to find a woman who made a more impressive debut to FFW.  Gigante kept us waiting, but it was worth it when she won the Extreme Envy Battle Royal and cemented herself a contender in the UV division.
25		SAMARA STEELE	Samara’s won three in a row, including an emotional win over Marissa Kane at Chaos Theory.
24		CRYSTAL HILTON	Who knows if she’ll even be coming back to wrestling after that disastrous Hardcore War?  Sad fact is, Crystal hasn’t won a match since Anarchy.
23		KATE STEELE	You’d think that after shocking Club CK VIP at Chaos Theory, Kate would have no problem with Hexstar at Relentless… but wrestlings a queer sport.  Especially where zealots are involved.
22		KELLY MCGUFFIN	You can say all you want about Kelly’s attitude at Chaos Theory, but with her sights now firmly set on the TV Title, Jennifer Williams is about to be in the fight of her life.
21		HAYLEY DARK *UNITY CHAMPION*	One of the best feel good stories of February was Bounce and Pounce rising back to the Unity belts nearly a year to the day after being unfairly stripped of them.
20		UNDINE	Even though Club CK VIP came out on the wrong end against Pure Adrenaline at Chaos Theory, Diney isn’t done with Kate yet.  Both will be challenging Emma for the UV Title very soon.
19		MADDISON KNIGHT	Despite a lackluster showing at Extreme Envy, Maddison Knight has been surprisingly good since her return.  Like… winning a PPV Main Event good.  How scary is that?
18		AIMEE EASTER	4-0 with a Pick Your Poison Contract under her belt.  That’s not helping those  who want to punch her in the face every time she opens her mouth.
17		MISTY WHITMORE	Don’t look now, but Misty’s gotten off to a 4-1-1 start in 2013. She’s going to be in contention  for something major soon, and that will be a true test of her worth.
16		JODIE GRAY	Jodie’s finding out the hard way that winning streaks are only awesome as long as they’re still going on. 10 matches without a loss, and nothing to show for it.   Pity.
15		IGNIS *UNITY CHAMPION*	Speaking of Winning Streaks- Ignis now has a six matcher going on.  And unlike Jodie, this one’s gotten her a bit of gold in the tag ranks, and quite possibly in singles as well.
14		LIGHTNING	Lightning’s stock took a hit when she lost her TV title to Jenny Williams, but it rebounded slightly when she won that match to knock Colleen out.  Not as much as if she had won it without help, though.
13		CAROLINE DALLINS	Damn!  It looks like the Wendy/Caroline dream match isn’t meant to be.  When one comes back, the other goes out with an injury.  Caroline will be missed- she’s far and away the best wrestler FFW has ever seen to never win a title.
12		CAMILLA PAZZINI	It took a couple months for Chunks to get back in the ring after her injury, but when she did, she was as big a wrecking ball as she’s always been.  If Val were smart, she’d have Chunks in her corner at Relentless for some security.
11		JENNIFER WILLIAMS *TELEVISION CHAMPION*	And now you’re going to find out why that Hardcore War was a bad idea.  There’s no way in hell Jenny will be 100% when Kelly comes calling.  Not after being destroyed in the middle of a burning ring like that.
10		EILEEN AMARO	The Chase for the Crown is an accomplishment in it’s own right, especially doing it all in one night.  But Eileen wants more, and she’s showing a sense of swagger and confidence I haven’t seen in her before.
9		SERAFINA REYNOLDS *NO SURRENDER CHAMPION*	Here’s an idea… put Serafina and Jenny- two women notorious for only showing up in big matches- against each other.  With nothing on the line.  We may actually get a black hole in an arena, folks.
8		SCARLETT KINCAID	Say what you will about her actions after the match, but she was instrumental in helping defeat the Power Trip.  She deserves a chance to explain herself before we all jump down her throat.  At least that’s what Wendy’s been telling me.  Over and over and over.
7		STARLA MCCLOUD	Starla seems to have everything going for her right now- she’s got Casey out of the house, no more Team Adonis, she’s the #1 contender… so why do I have this feeling that shit’s about to hit the fan for her?
6		RORI MACKENZIE	Hate her all you want, but Chaos Theory meant a turning of the corner for Rori.  Eighteen months previous, she couldn’t get it done against Scarlett.  She did against the Williams, in absolutely devastating fashion.
5		EMMA MACNAMARA *ULTRAVIOLENCE CHAMPION*	When Cara Stone got ran out of FFW, I thought that Emma’s life got a ton easier without that rematch on the table.  But the UV division is heating up in all facets now, and Emma’s getting a long line of challengers.  She’ll be busy for a while now… if she survives.
4		KATHERINE STRYFE *EVOLUTION CHAMPION*	Kat’s days as Evolution Champion may be numbered with a red hot Eileen on her heels, but for now, she can enjoy her four match winning streak.  After the horrible start she had to 2012, Kat’s making her start to 2013 anything but.
3		TARA THUNDER	Serafina would have been in for a fight no matter who won, but you have to think that Cupcake went “oh shit” watching just how intense Tara was as she defeated Caroline Dallins.
2		VALERIE LAMB	Does she have the odds stacked against her at Relentless?  You bet.  Is she one of the few people on the roster capable of overcoming them?  Ditto.  Val’s time is now.
1		ISABELLA PAZZINI *FFW CHAMPION*	Isabella’s looked vulnerable before, but never as much as she did when Valerie Belmont dispatched her in the ten femme chaos match.  Relentless is going to be a very messy occasion for Bella.  Don’t think for a second it’s going to be the handicapped match everyone thinks it will be.
