April Hunter: Today’s Best Female Wrestlers!
PWD’s number-one Diva returns with a column that comes to grip with retirement rumors and much, much more.
Q: “April, having watched one of my new April Hunter dvds (The Prize), I am
wondering….knowing there are a large number of bad workers in the ring, who do you consider a good worker? Who have you enjoyed working against/with in matches?”
A: Oh, there are definitely some good girls to watch! If you’re looking to get your fem ass kicking fix, look at some of these ladies…
Experienced girls: Nikki Roxx/Roxxi Laveaux (my ex tag team partner and one of the few girls to make it through Killer Kowalski’s, she’s one of the best), Sara Del Ray (awesome & powerful), Wesna (Germany), Lacey (she brought out the best in me), Tianna Ringer (Canadian firecracker, retired, but maybe she’ll come back), Christie Ricci (Southern belle and one of the few girls as big as I), Sweet Saraya (England), MisChief…(I’m actually surprised she hasn’t been signed…she’s got a really great character as well as being a decent wrestler.)
Up and Comers: Jennifer Blake (Ont,Canada), Annie Social (Philly, PA), Jazzy Bi/Alpha Female(Germany), Blue Nikita (Germany).
**These are the girls that train hard, look good, work as much as possible, have no problem getting in the ring before the show to go over things and will try to take any bump. There aren’t too many new girls I can say that about.
Japan: Ayako Hamada, Leo-Na, Mima Shimoda, Momoe Nakanishi, Akino, Fugita…there are many, but those are the the ones I worked with that I loved.
Mexico:The Apache girls…any of them. And Sarah Stock/Dark Angel.
WWE: (incidentally, 98% the girls I mentioned above are much better than most of the WWE female roster.)
-Candace Michelle is still my current fave model-turned-wrestler. She looked like she was really trying and learning before she got hurt.
-’Takers girl, Michelle McCool, looks like she’s coming along pretty
well lately, too.
-Beth Phoenix. Aside from her gimmick, she’s quite a good wrestler
and one of the few I could have a match with and call it all in the
ring, not planning anything out. I’m very glad to see her on TV.
-Kara/Cherry. She’s a decent wrestler that they don’t use in that way
and is another I’m glad to see on TV. She’s also worked hard to get there.
I probably missed a few, but these are the girls that I thought were
the best. There are a few I never got to work, like Jaqueline, Rain/Ms Banx, Cheerleader Melissa, etc that I always thought might be good as well.
Just my opinions. You can see many of these girls kicking ass (or getting ass kicked!) on my newest DVD, April Hunter, International.
