Alright everyone, while we wait (patiently...) for the start of Ep. 5, here are the Top 5 in each weight division post Episode 4. ENJOY!:
STANDINGS POST EP. 4HEAVYWEIGHT:CHAMPION MELISSA DETTWILLER
While destroying Michelle McCool wasnt exactly the toughest thing the Buff Dolled Beauty has ever accomplished, she is the title holder until someone TAKES it from her. Even without her alliance to Leggy Stacy, who will do her part to tilt the floor in the Buffed Ones favour (Cdn. spelling,) that will be one tall order.
#1 APRIL HUNTER (PREVIOUS #1)
Yeah, like shes going to lose her standing (Cdn. sarcasm) after going down (oh, get your minds out of the gutter!!!) in a #1 Contendership WT 3xThreat Match that she likely would have one if not for some interference from some powerful, unidentified intruder that will now occupy her time.
#2 LINDSAY MULINAZZI (PREVIOUS #5)
I know, she just got it handed to her by the Gothic Stalker and doesnt look like much right now and, if inactive for long, shes to drop off again. But her broken, battered, (beautiful) body just made a statement on the equally Sexy Debi Laszewski, who shot right up to #3 in the last standings after beating Lindsay. Well eventually see what Lindsay can do against Monica Martin on an even playing field.
#3 MARIKA JOHANSSON (PREVIOUS #8)
Sure she only destroyed a LW in Ep. 4 but, like I said in my column, the Statement Maker has made her statement. She fought Zhanna because no one else, HWs included, would step up to the GPS member and no other HW did anything worthy enough to vault past her other than those listed above, in this scribes not-so-humble opinion.
#4 MONICA MARTIN (PREVIOUS UNRANKED)
So now we know who the Gothic Stalker is well, ok, Im sure most of us had already figured it out. She has the mind games in spades, as well as all the physical advantages in sending her message to Lindsay. But, shes definitely made a high impact and this gimmick could go kilometers and kilometers (Cdn. distances) in the HW Division. Could she be a future HW or WC or will some of the other top girls show her vulnerability once it gets down to brass tax?
#5 COLETTE NELSON (PREVIOUS #7)
Ok, you can easily make a case for Krisztina Sereny, Elena Seiple,Carolyn Evans and lovely Tamar here but Im picking the most recent HW champion because shes my girl and these are MY standings. Hey, at least Im admitting it. Colette does definitely need to get right back in the win column. Maybe she needs to inherit Marikas Statement Maker moniker to vault back to the top of the division.
MIDDLEWEIGHT:WORLD CHAMPION JENNY LYNN
Now that Daigz has finally gotten over how she could be the Champion at the EFWs pre-eminence, could he actually be warming up to Jenny? Hey, she is definitely easy on the eyes and she has beaten Min and Davana so far, even if the opponents did control the tempo of the match. She may get knocked around a lot, Colour (Cdn. spelling) Commentator Tara Caballero excluded, but, as pretty as she is, as Jim Ross would say, Shes tougher than a $2 steak.
CHAMPION MINDI OBRIEN
Shes the EFWs Crown Jewel and future, and not-too-distant future WC, as far as Daigz is concerned. But theres no off nights in the most competitive division when all the ranked girls are Hall of Famers or Legends-In-The-Making. I mean, if Maria can roll-up Beth Phoenix on RAW in the name of Playboy then anything can happen.
#1 CORI NADINE (PREVIOUS #2)
Even if she won by a sort-of fluke, by virtue of becoming #1 contender to the WT, theres logically no other option than moving Cori into this position without thinking that Daigz in biased and unfair and Daigz couldnt fathom anybody thinking that.
#2 CINDY PHILLIPS (PREVIOUS #7)
While some may consider vaulting Cindy Perfection over Amber to be sacrilege, how many girls can say theyre 2-0 vs Jennifer Chamberlin, including a win in a vicious Perfect I Quit match? Theres nothing but stardom in this girls future. Shes the physical prowess to beat ANYBODY, including (gasp) Mindi OBrien. (Hows that for a down-the-road WT feud at some point?) For now, though, it looks like shell have her hands more-than-full with Britt Miller, whose beautiful ass she carried in their bodybuilding days, and her flunky Jean Jitomir.
#3 AMBER EVANS (PREVIOUS #4)
Amber claimed a very important victory over GPS rival Louise Glover. Still, as unbelievable as Ambers combined record is in the FWF/EFW, how do you slot her in any higher here? Of course, another important win will launch this bombshell to the upper echelon of the entire federation.
#4 MONICA BRANT (PREVIOUS #1)
Couldnt have the Untouchable One off the list now could we? Actually, its even hard for me to believe I could have her here, and no offence, shes where she deserves to be at the moment. A match with any of the girls on this list would be a dream match, much like the predictable Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair match at the upcoming WM24. Itll be interesting to see how the writers devise another run for her. Of course, unlike the need to turn Michaels heel against Flair, this will be more doable by turning Monica heel, starting with a post-match attack on Jenny Lynn after she successfully defends against Cori on Ep. #5, just like the INSIDER is calling.
#5 DAVANA MEDINA (PREVIOUS #3)
Geez, having Davana this far down the list will just about send Eddie into the throws of a conniption fit. While she is impressive and capable, she needs to do more than make an example out of sexy Jennifer Jewel. Lets see her do that to someone who matters.
LIGHTWEIGHT:BIANCA BEAUCHAMP CHAMPION
Catty Biancas been impressive and she cemented her position by defeating Dana Hamm convincingly (boo). Now that all the top faces in the division have been reduced to mush, the question is who will step up to face her. It almost seems that one of the heels would have to front that challenge.
#1 FAWNIA MONDAY (PREVIOUS #2 TIE)
The Nutcase slots in here not only because of her impressive victories but also because of her affinity to Leggy Stacy. But Ide rather see her wrassle than have her insanely long segments to talk about why shes as screwed up as she is. I know enough girls in real life who love to spew their ridiculous sob stories.
#2 CANDICE MICHELLE (PREVIOUS #6)
Now that Candice got her RESPECT against Deven Jones, its on to bigger and better things, I guess. She dangerous (the EFW Candice, that is) but shes also too big for her britches (the RAW Candice, that is.) Maybe Jennifer Chamberlin can shut her up.
#3 MIN YUNG KIM (PREVIOUS #2 TIE)
Min is just downright vicious has the ability to threaten to anyone on the roster, lightweight or otherwise. She should probably be even higher here but her real priority win be winning the Hardcore Title.
#4 ZHANNA ROTAR (PREVIOUS #3)
How can you leave a girl off the list that just so tough that she wont stay down? Instead of doing something that would have achieved more hype, such as the slapping the taste out of Candices yap, she decided to take a high-risk challenge against Marika and even scored a couple of pin falls. Even though she took a beating, shes won over the fans, in so doing making her the potential face who could rise in the division to challenge Marikas stable mate, Bianca.
#5 (TIE) JEAN JITOMIR (PREVIOUS #10)
She may be hairbrained and she may have taken the fall after things BROKE DOWN IN MOTOWN in her and Britts tag match against Sharon Bruneau and Shelley Beattie (God bless her soul) but shes also beaten some tough girls when no one gave her a chance. Rocky traveling to Russia to face Ivan Drago in Rocky IV has got nothing on Jean traveling to the Baltics to dispose of Natalia Whateverhernamis.
#5 (TIE) LOUISE GLOVER (PREVIOUS #1)
Since Daigz is feeling generous, hes leaving the GPS leader on the list for now, but shes got work to do. She failed against Amber Evans for 2 reasons: 1) She kept trying for the BEAR TRAP when it wasnt there; 2) she has to prove to Daigz that she really is as good as advertised. I dont think she is but, of course, no one listens to INSIDERS anyways. J
Excellent insight from The Insider - as always! And almost two whole weeks before I can get my 2 cents in. I swear, Daigz, next time you give me your Top Five and I'll populate the next five of each division.
