THE POWER X-TRAVAGANZA, PART III (#90-81)

The Power X-Travaganza countdown just keeps on rolling, picking up steam like a freight train.  As such, the names are becoming more and more recognizable, the wrestlers more impactful for the year.  


MAIA LOPEZ
2013 Record: 0-5
Maia somehow managed to finish fourth in Future Shock VIII.  Once she joined the main roster, Maia couldn't win.  Not against Arianna or Penny, and certainly not in the race to win Mark Horton's affection.  Not too many people were sad to see this stalker go when she got cut. 


NATALYA DEMIDOV
2013 Record: 0-2
Poor Natalya just can't catch a break.  She got snookered in the Thunderdome by those masked freaks.  She got snookered by Laura Steele into a DQ, and she got flat out played by Marla in the rematch.  Hopefully the Assassin and Season XI runner up can catch a break in 2014. 


RAVEN WICKED 
2013 Record: 1-1
Raven's only 2013 FFW Event was Extreme Envy, in which she made the finals of the one-night tournament by beating Rebbecca Valentine.  Since then, she's been more happy in making sporadic (but always chaotic) appearances in SVW.  Just so long as she never lets the Mime wrestle again...


NEON RILEY 
2013 Record: 0-3
Neon was *supposed* to be a big factor in FFW, and did well in a close loss to Jo McFarlane.  After that, things went downhill for her, and she grew increasingly less competitive before finally being given the mercy of a release. 


EMI YAMAMOTO
2013 Record: 0-1
Thanks to a scheduling conflict, Emi only ended up getting one match in 2013, the TV Contenders ladder match in which she acquitted herself rather well.  2014 should be a promising year for the perky young Japanese star. 


VALENTINA LOZANO
2013 Record: 0-3
Well, she may not have won a match yet, but she has managed to successfully piss off FFW Championship contender Valerie Lamb, so at least she's getting noticed.  I could give a damn what she calls the top belt in the company, but this is a woman who's going to need a very strict dose of reality if she hopes to be more successful. 


MARLA LEE 
2013 Record: 1-0
The Season XI Champion just had her first official FFW match, a masterful and rather sick win over Natalya Demidov, something that's become somewhat of a trademark.  The only question is what can she do against the no nonsense Aly Gardner?  If it's the same, she cold hold gold after her second match. 


ARIANNA MANNING
2013 Record: 2-1
Let's be honest, nobody actually likes Arianna, including the bookers, which is why she hasn't been seen since her grudge match with Desirae Kain came to a head.  If she makes a return to the ring, hopefully it'll be against someone who'll punch her puffy little chipmunk face in. 


MICHELLE TAYLOR
2013 Record: 0-10
You have to hand it to Michelle- she took a licking and yet kept on ticking.  It's why she's this high- even though she never won (and it was never close), she managed to stick around, and be at least some sort of a draw.  But like all freebie wins, she's overstayed her welcome.  At least Destiny Loveheart will continue the official fed doormat tradition. 


SHANE SANDERS 
2013 Record: 1-2
After a disastrous and humiliating 2012, Shane returned to FFW in 2013 and surprised everyone with a stunning win over Misty Whitmore at Byte This IV.  But her next two matches were losses to Crystal Hilton and Katherine Stryfe, and Shane elected to leave while she still had some credibility left this time. 

NEXT: A bunch of women no longer with us... but were fun while they were!
