You're the Recruiter

Okay, here's the story. You've been hired as the talent recruiter for WWE, TNA, or SHIMMER (or all three if you like). But you have strict orders to focus solely on bolstering the women's roster. But this game has a few other rules too...

1) You can recruit no more than five (5) women per fed.
2) As WWE, you can recruit from anywhere, including TNA and SHIMMER.
3) As TNA, you can't recruit from WWE, but can from SHIMMER and anywhere else.
4) As SHIMMER, you can only recruit from fellow indies as well as around the world.
5) Tag teams count for two of a fed's picks.
6) If one fed recruits Ayumi Kurihara (for example), whoever is below them (if any) cannot also recruit her.

Please sort your five (or less) in order of who you think would make the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time.

Have fun :)

I like a challenge, so I'll take Terrible/Nauseating/Atrocious, which has the worst everything in pro wrestling, never mind women's division.

PS, LuckyStar, thanks for taking Hamada off me, I really don't enjoy her matches at all. Would you like to take The Ugly People from me too? ;)

1) LuFisto
2) MsChif
3) Eden Black
4 & 5) Rain & Jetta

Okay, let me clarify the rule about how once someone is recruited, that the fed below them can't recruit 'em also. This was intended more for scenarios where you might want to do five picks for each fed. I plan to recruit for all three (just for fun), so the rule would apply to me in that case. It's not aimed at preventing different people here on the boards from recruiting the same women. I think that would get incredibly hard after a few posts.

Look what they gave her to work with though...

And I'd have to be Von Erich high to take any of the BPs

Booooo, no tricking you into taking them :'(

I haveta be honest, while I want to dig Hamada, I just can't. Even her Mexican and Japanese stuff. It does nothing for me.

I love Hamada's kicks. :) Have to agree with Droo though, as I think she's a damn good wrestler. Seen her live at SHIMMER, and it was such a treat. And while it has occured to me that I'm way out of the loop with TNA these days, there are some elements of the Beautiful People. Angelina Love is good, and Velvet Sky has certainly improved. I could see WWE picking up Lacey Von Erich because she's so gorgeous, not to mention her family name one of these days, and she'll probably be on my list for them.

As WWE: I'm not only going to pretend I'm in charge of recruiting, I'm going to pretend I'm in charge of the whole women's wrestling "division" and thus can not only add wrestlers, but subtract them.

First I'm getting rid of everyone BUT: Melina, Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim, Michelle McCool, and Natalya. Part of me wants to keep Kelly Kelly because she's hot, but we're focusing on wrestling now.

Anyways that leaves me with 5 women, so adding 5 more we'll have plenty to build a solid base among the two "brands."

Adds:

1- Sara Del Rey
2- Cheerleader Melissa
3- Natsuki Taiyo
4- Madison Eagles
5- Faby Apache

Quality picks. Had I not turned japanese (I think so, anyway), SDR woulda been #1,and Cheerleader Saeed (that's what i call her) woulda been #2 for sure.

Also Apaches for the win. I need to look up Natsuki taiyo though.

I said above that I would recruit for all three companies, so here goes...

WWE - Following Droo's example, I would keep Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim, Melina, and Natalya.

1. Madison Eagles - Madison just has "it". She has a great look, good skills, and solid gimmick (not to mention mic skills). Why WWE hasn't moved on her already is beyond me, as I think she makes a great champion.

2. Tara/Victoria - Why she was depushed and ultimately left in the first place is beyond me. She could still do a lot for the women's division in WWE.

3. Mickie James - I value women with legit wrestling backgrounds, and Mickie deserves to come back too. WWE has elevated her to celebrity status, and we should bring her back.

4. Ayumi Kurihara - American dudes love Japanese chicks. It's a proven fact. And the fact that's so damn good in the ring only adds to her value. I see a super popular face in the making.

5. Cheerleader Melissa - Her time in TNA as Alissa Flash really helped Melissa evolve her look, which helps her get her foot in the door in WWE. She's also been dubbed a "Future Legend" for years (long before her TNA run), so it's about damn time she gets the chance to prove it.


TNA - I would keep the original Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky), Cookie, Daffney, Sarita (love me some Sarah Stock), and Winter.

1. Aja Kong - Amazing Kong has finally gone to WWE, so TNA needs to find a suitable replacement for her. What better person than the "other" Kong? Aja could serve as a mentor OR a monster. Take your pick.

2. Maryse - Since WWE dropped her, I could see TNA picking her up, as she would fit with what they like from their women. She has a good look and personality, and her ring skills could improve.

3. Ayako Hamada - She's not currently on the roster, so we need to bring her back. Hamada's got kicks! What's more, she deserves more than just a tag title run this time.

4. MsChif - It amazes me that nobody has moved on MsChif yet. While she doesn't talk much, and when she does it's more like growling, MsChif definitely has the look, skills, and personality to be a success here. I see an intimidating badass heel in her future. Plus we could reunite her with Daffney to help establish her at first.

5. Lita - By all accounts, Lita is still taking indy bookings. What's more, there's been rumors of a return to WWE. We can't have that, so we need to move on her now.


SHIMMER - The other two promotions have already taken five of our top wrestlers, so we're not dumping anyone right now.

1. Mariko Yoshida - With several of her students from Ibuki already on the roster, it makes total sense for the teacher to come over as well. Not to mention the fact that Yoshida would add a ton of experience to the SHIMMER locker room.

2. Shantelle Taylor - Better known as Taylor Wylde in TNA, Shantelle is no longer under contract from what I can tell, so a return to SHIMMER would be huge. The fans in Berwyn were big fans of hers from the beginning anyway.

3. Blue Nikita - She's one of the top women from Europe, besides Nikita/Winter/Katie Lea Burchill and Wesna Busic, and we'd love to see some Blue Nikita vs. Wesna matches under the lights of the Eagles Hall.

4. Kyoko Kimura - While she's no Madison Eagles, there's just something about Kyoko Kimura that just demands you keep your eyes glued to the ring. I think our fans will enjoy her matches quite a lot.

5. Jazz - In a move that fans have been asking for for several years now, I don't see why we shouldn't oblige them. At only 34 years old, Jazz could still have several more years left in her.
