Grade Your ZXWWF Career Thus Far!

[ZX]

I just recently bought the 2007 Collector's Edition of Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Wrestling Report Cards and I thought it would be a cool idea to see how everyone would grade their own ZXWWF careers (thus far) in 4 categories: Promo/Entertainment Value (how do you think you appeal to our audience - we actually have one as I get fanmail from time to time believe it or not), Career Growth (if you're new don't worry about this one, unless you have experience in other feds you wanna share), Arsenal (Your variety of moves and ability to adapt to other opponents), and Overall grade.

Rate ONLY yourselves, you can comment on others' own grades though.

I'll go first...with ZX, himself

Promo/Entertainment Value: B- Why? ZX's greatest feud of his career in ZXWWF since it has come online has been with Shia Storm. Only just recently, he's stepped up his promo/mic skills up to humiliate DX and currently, the High Rollers. He leaves a lot of be questioned if he loses the masses that he leads in the X-Terminators and the Eves of Evolution at his side.

Career Growth: B+ Why? ZX has started his career as a team player with Mariah, T-Bone, and Emily at his side but broke off from T-Bone and Emily to pursue a singles career. He conquered a heavy losing streak before gaining his first Undisputed title win but lost it shortly afterwards. How can any of the veteran roster remember how he practically laid down for Jessica Krueger (Litablaze) to take the title from him after obtaining it a 2nd time only to find himself losing matches in singles again. It wasn't until ZX formed the X-Terminators mid-2007 that caused his losing streak to turn around. ZX practically owes his title reign to the numbers he has at his side. But one can't deny that he plays the strength in numbers game wiser than anyone else in ZXWWF.

Arsenal: C+ ZX has a technical and high-flyer-esque arsenal. He's pretty unorthodox but that allows him to adapt to a number of different situations. He can find his way out of holds but don't have many of his own to retaliate with other than his sharpshooter and recently added crossface maneuvers. High flying moves such as his diving elbow drop, diving senton, and corkscrew leg drop are all very risky, which forces him to spend more time on the ground wearing down his opponent before attempting these blows. He does have a few powerful moves, such as the Fire Thunder and standing chokeslam. While these moves don't hinder his speed but they are often useless against larger opponents.

I'll post Mariah's next.

Amanda:

Promo/Entertainment Value: A- Why? Amanda has been in several feuds which always escalated pretty bad. Like the one with Kirsten, Chyna and the one with the Golden Girls. Her promos are pretty entertaining and violent because of her weird sick fantasy. Pretty funny is also that she is really emotional and depresssive and always gets in situations that ends really bad for her.

Career Growth: B- Why? She has had a few titles like the Vixen Title and the Tag title, but most of the time she gets beaten up and humiliated in the ring in some way. But at least she has the XC Title at the moment although she only has it because her husband Gabe had let her win. It seems that she can't take a win without help or cheating. But her matches are pretty entertaining, for example the first blood match against Chyna where she ended up in hospital or the buried alive match against Nicole, where she also almost lost. Other highlights are her match against Marlena and the streetfight match against Trina Lash. But her performances are entertaining.

Arsenal: C+ Why? Her moves aren't really powerful and she is pretty weak, but she has some good ones like her stunna no 1 and her spear which are pretty brutal. She is also really good in cheating and with the use of different weapons. Her moves may not be the strióngest ones, but they look pretty brutal and spectacular. At the end of 07 she changed her moves a bit and now she uses some highflying moves that really look viewy. As I said, she's not really powerful, but pretty entertaining and brutal.

Yeah, that was the first wrestling mag I've bought since Chyna was in DX. Lesse, rating Justice this past year....

Goal Achievement: Hard to rate. Justice's goals are never spelled out plainly. From our point of view though, she's not doing well. She started the year as tag champ with Nicole. As of this writing, she has lost her title, bounced back and forth between singles and tag and just seemed more interested in amusing herself as opposed to actually getting anything done. Grade: C

Marketability: Off the charts. Stunningly gorgeous and you can better believe she knows it! Every look, every movement is designed to capture everyone's attention and lock it where she thinks it belongs, on her. Ratings soar just having her on camera. Her willingness to pose for just about any kind of publication (although is VERY careful about who she actually works with) endears her to male and female fans alike. She's not afraid to get "uggified" for a role (her few guest shots on popular tv shows and movies will attest to this). Add in the fact that Justice is one of the premiere female wrestlers in the business today and you've got a marketer's dream. Grade: A++

Repertoire: Arguably the most versatile performer today, Justice can hit you from any direction. High-risk, front, behind, below; it's all good as far as Justice is concerned. Preferring to rely mainly on high speed semi-acrobatic techniques, it really confuses her oppnents when she breaks out her ground submissions or the occasional power move. The only downside here is, there isn't much new. As energetic and entertaining (not to mention effective) her style is, she has fallen into the category of "been there, done that". You've proven to be innovative Justice, time to get creative again. Grade: A-

Career Growth: Another small blemish on her report card. Justice already seems to be kind of resting on her laurels. She's made a career out of doing what people tell her she shouldn't or not allowed to. Admittedly, there isn't a lot of places for her to go, but it's not the destintion, it's the journey. Grade: B

Overall Value: Pound for pound, Justice is probably the best wrestler today. She can have an excellent match with anyone in any style, can sell many magazines and other merchandise and has an attitude that gets attention. Her legacy has already been established. We do feel that a reinvention is in order. Or at the very least, a make-over to make things fresh and new for both herself and the fans. Grade: B+

[Jira and Candy Cane]

Oh this looks like fun.

Promo Entertainment value.- Well one thing is for sure, she has no love for the fans, especially a male dominated auidance. Even though she has no love for the fans sometimes the fans themselves are split between those that don't like her for her morals and tacts, but suprising there are a few that are of the like mind in the on the finge of society lifestyle that do like her, or they are just cheering louder against her oppenants. The time she is put in front of the camera (even though she hates it most of the time) she has been able to almost tell a story and continue the next part with her promos, somthing that is refreshing to see in todays superstars. We're waiting to see what she has next. B+

Aresenal- Candy Cane hails from the country which has produced many talented techincal wrestlers like Bret Hart, the late Owen Hart, Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, the late Chris Beniot. Candy Cane is not on this list. In fact in our reserch we haven't been able to find if she has had any formal training. We do know one thing is that Candy Cane is a pure brawler. isn't afraid to break any rules or her guitar over someones head, to get the results she wants even stating that she is at her best when there aren't any rules. C

Career Growth- Candy Cane started her career by entering the Rumble Roses in their premier tournament where her primary goal at the time was just to win the tournment for the prize money to help the orphanage where she grew up get out of bankruptcy. During that time she wasn't even considering a full career in wrestling as she wanted to pursue her band into making it big. Not until winning the tournment did she start to think seriously about becoming a full time wrestler where she went to ZXWWF. Only after a few short months of debuting in ZXWWF she has already seen her capture the Women's Tag Titles. We see a bright future for her. B+

Amberz

Promo/Entertainment Value: c- Well i have only done like one promo that wasn't realy that good. lolz But Im in two diffrent storylines right now.

Career Growth: C+ Won her debuet match at Wrestlemainia for her team. Currently feuding with Trinityand the vixen Champ Kristen.

Arsenal: B- Amber is a HighFlyer/ Brawler type. Her attacks are not that strong but she makes up for it with her speed. Her special "Ambercanrana" Can be used in many diffrent ways. A springboard version is probly her strongest move done up to this day. A diving version is used more ofthen becuase its the easyiest to preform. Another is a rope run type. While her opponet is sitting on the tope of the turnbuckle she runs across the ropes jumping onto her opponets shoulders then flipping backwards into a super huracanrana.
Her secound special "The Bitch Drop" is more used as a contour. She uses it afther a opponet charges at her with a clothesline. She ducks or somtimes uses the "Matrix" stlye duck and then pulls her opponets hair back into a reverse sitout facebuster.


lolz Tygress next.
