SHOW RANKINGS: Future Shock Fight Night 2 8.27.13

An action packed, intense, and I dare say surprising Fight Night is in the books, and Seattle did not disappoint.  Let's see how the girls of Shock Future (as Ms. Kyoun would put it) matched up! 

1. CASEY ATHERTON- Another defense by the skin of her teeth, and I think this one was even closer than the Jodie one.  Casey's got the magic working for her, and it's kept the title on her.

2. JODIE GRAY- In what is one of the biggest shocks of 2013, Jodie Gray overcame six other women to win the second annual Future Shock Cup, and secure herself a place in the next season of champions.  Guess she's rediscovered that confidence.

3. JO MCFARLANE- So.  Fucking.  Close.   Jo left nothing out there in the ring Tuesday night, but sometimes, even that isn't enough.  But after years of mediocrity, Jo has once and for all proven that she can hang with a champion in a title match.  It will be a matter of weeks, not months or years, before she gets another crack. 

4. SERAFINA DECARO- Serafina not only slayed her long time nemesis in Trinity... she drove her clear out of the company!  But she's gotta be disappointed after getting the Future Shock Cup vultured by Gray. 

5. STEPHANIE DALLINS- The way Steph was going, had she not found the exposed metal turnbuckle thanks to Jodie, she might have dominated the final match.  But a sour break for the Angry Lady.  She'll want a second crack at that one, I'm sure. 

6. SUNNY KYOUN- Whatever Sunny had the night she won the battle royal to get to the finals, it didn't show up Tuesday night.  She was off-kilter most of the match, and there was never really a moment where you thought Sunny was going to win this.  It's gotta be disappointing- everything was set up for her going into the night. 

7. GABRIELLE CRIMSON- Finally (and we mean FINALLY) Gabrielle Crimson has officially wrestled a match in FFW, and it was a good one, downing April Evans.  The only question now is if the bumps she received against April will slow her down in her quest to beat Alysson's time against Michelle Taylor. 

8. REBECKA HATE- You can't spin this any other way- Rebecka Hate had a bad night.  Yeah, she did win her qualification match, but considering that getting her hands on Laura Steele was something she wanted for months now, going through because a teapot was shoved into her skull wasn't how she was hoping things would end.  Neither was nearly succumbing to a sleeper from DeCaro, only for Gray to shove her hand down her throat immediately after.  Hope Jodie uses Purell! 

9. LAURA STEELE- The mere fact that she's not lying dead in a pool of her own blood this morning knocks her up a notch, because while she didn't win, she ended the match against Becky on her terms.  Which might actually end up costing her in the long run- she can't escape from Becka forever. 

10. APRIL EVANS- Yup.  Still winless without Penny Buchanan at her side.  April needs to learn to walk (i.e. WIN), before she can run (i.e. get a title shot).  Needless to say, she won't be getting 'next'. 

11. TRINITY- Despite a brutal sneak attack to start the match, Serafina dispatched her in less than five minutes.  Given what we've seen from Trinity previously, clearly something's wrong.  An extended break might be just what she needs.
