2014 POWER X-TRAVAGANZA (Part 6)

BEATING UP YOUR RIVALS DADDY IS WORTH AT LEAST A TEN SPOT JUMP*

The March to the top continues as we hit the Top 50, and see more and more of the “regularly booked” wrestlers.  That said, you can’t help but think there’s quite a few disappointments and “what would have beens” in this group.

Oh, and in case you missed it and are too lazy to click on the right side... here's the previous installments

#50: HOPE DAWSON

2014 Record: 3-16

Hope managed to go an entire year without a single PR nightmare, which must have been good enough for her, as she was released shortly after Anarchy.  She has that big win over Kimmi Hate at Sin & Sacrifice to feel good about, at least.

#49: PENNY BUCHANAN

Ranked 7^th in 2013

2014 Record: 3-6

One of 2013’s biggest surprises was one of 2014’s biggest disappointments.  Four times Penny got a chance to go after the Ultraviolence Championship, and she came up short each and every time, as well as the Femme For All.  The last half of the year was particularily brutal, as the Pain Train derailed into a four match losing streak.

#48: STEPHANIE SULLIVAN

Ranked 29^th in 2013

2014 Record: 0-5

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Have You Ever Won?

No sir, No sir, not a single one.

Every time she stepped in the ring they kicked her ass

But her schedule was pure murder, so she kinda gets a pass.

#47: MARLA LEE

Ranked 84^th in 2013

2014 Record: 1-1-1

Oh, what could have been.  After one of the most dominating Future Shock performances in the show’s history, Marla figured to make a dominating year in the UV division, but actually proved so goddamn chaotic that she actually forced a NO CONTEST in a UV Title match!  Then, unfortunately, she made the mistake of going after a primordial force of pure destruction  in SVW, got injured, and sat the rest of the year out.

#46: MERCEDES VARGAS

2014 Record: 3-11-1

Mercedes started promising, winning her first two matches, but then fell into a brutal rivalry against the Social Elite, which did not go well at all for her.  Like… zero wins in six matches not well.  At least her forced induction into the group only lasted like a month, but her time in FFW lasted not much longer as she fell out of the company after losing to Leah O’Quinn in November.

#45: METEORA

Ranked 56^th in 2013

2014 Record: 3-5

Well on the bright side, the Rudos didn’t get us permabanned from any foreign countries this year, which is a step up from last year.  Overall, it was as Rudo-y a year as it is.  A few wins, and a LOT of shenanigans.

#44: CAMILLA PAZZINI

Ranked 33^rd in 2013

2014 Record: 0-4

Chunks continued her downward spiral from late  2013, but it didn’t help that she was repeatedly facing some of the best talent in the company during it.  Luckily, Camilla realized she needed to take a breath and get a fresh start, and stepped away before things got even worse.

#43: TIFA HEAFY

Ranked 59^th in 2013

2014 Record: 6-1

Tifa started the year on a tear, knocking off her first six matches of the year (and a seven match win streak overall) before being stopped by Neveah Summers in a Television #1 Contenders match.  Oddly, she released herself from FFW and jumped to SVW after that, and although she’s returning to form Heafy United 2.0 with Elissa, its still sad to think what might have been had she stuck around.

#42: SOPHIE RICHARDS

Ranked 51^st in 2013

2014 Record: 3-3

Wendy Briese called Sophie the most underutilized talent in the company just yesterday, and its tough to argue with her.  Sophie more than held her own in tough losses to Wendy Briese and Crystal Hilton, as well as picked up a massive win over Valerie Lamb, but, despite an appearance in the Femme For All, she just hasn’t gotten the traction she needs- or deserves.

#41: STARDUST

Ranked 57^th in 2013

2014 Record: 3-5

FFW TRIVIA: While the Rudos are a decent Tag Team, and certainly stand out in the Unity Division with their antics, they’re an abysmal Trios team, unable to work with others.  They lost both their Trios matches last year (teaming with Tara Thunder and Ignis), and are 0-4 all times when having to share their sandbox.
