Show Rankings- VELOCITY May 2, 2013

After a great night of action in Richmond that saw some surprises- and a new FFW Title crowned its first champion, we head back to the rankings board.  Only one more show until Relentless, and things are heating up... but who was the hottest? 


1. CASEY ATHERTON- For the second match in a row, Casey pulls out all the stops andd   comes away with a good, clean win.  And now she has a true, honest to god title, to boot.  What a huge coup for a girl once known strictly for her delusions of grandeur.

2. UNDINE- Was absolutely brilliant in the Six-Femme Tag Match, and won the day.  She does that again, we have a new Ultraviolence Champion. 

3. PENNY BUCHANAN- Penny was her usual, solid self.  She's now on a four match win streak. 

4. KARA HARRINGTON- Like Undine, Kara was in a form we haven't seen from her in a while.  Should set her up as the favorite heading into face Gardner at Relentless.

5. JODIE GRAY- By hook or by crook, Jodie comes out the winner against Gigante.  Gives her momentum going into a difficult two match stretch against Kinsey and Wendy. 

6. GIGANTE- Was robbed against Jodie, but Giggy is taking it in stride.  Not a good thing actually- this is where she needs to tap into her inner rage demons. 

7. IGNIS- The seven consecutive suplexes was a nice crowd-pleaser, but it was a clear mistake, as Iggy ran out of gas.  She should have known better, and it probably cost her the chance to hold a third title. 

8. MISTY WHITMORE- Of the women on the losing side in the six-femme, Misty seemed to fight the hardest, but just couldn't get the job done.  Oh, and happy birthday, since she turns 20 today.

9. KINSEY ROBINSON- A strong performance downing the former tag champ to push herself back above .500.  Facing Jodie next will be a true challenge. 

10. JESSIKA HEXSTAR- Wasn't nearly as effective as Club CK VIP in the six femme, but she had her moments.  

11. KATE STEELE- Had the unfortunate distinction of being the one pinned in the Six Femme, but it was really a case of wrong place at the wrong time.  Still, she needs to step it up if she wants the UV title. 

12. ALYSSON GARDNER- Gardner hasn't lost a match since February 15... of last year.  Although that's mainly because she was absent from FFW for about a year.  Still, a solid win against Crystal Hate keeps pushing her up the ladder.

13. CRYSTAL HATE- Tough break for Crystal, who came close, but no cigar against Aly.  The losing streak's now hit 8, but there's a feeling that Hate's one good break away from getting back over the hump. 

14. NICOLE WHITMORE- The blonde bombshell didn't embarass herself, but its clear she's still working off the rust from being out so long, and two sporadic matches against Enigma and Ashley haven't done much to bring her back.  She'll come around. 

15. MELANIE AVILO- Tough match for Mel, who was in the ring with perhaps the two best-known Future Shock alumni FFW has.  She was right in there at the end, though, but that counter... ouch. 

16. ARIANNA MANNING- It's ironic that Arianna is so willing to bite Desirae's hand, because she just hasn't been the same outside of Pink, INc.  Last night was yet another example of that. 

17. MAIA LOPEZ- Somehow managed to pull out a reasonable effort against Penny, but let's be honest- this woman is a mess.  Even in a top-notch company like FFW, zero wins in six matches isn't exactly a sign that you're cutting it.
