Chapter 10: Women’s Division
Rob sat in his newly allocated office space as he mulled over the records of the women’s division. The more he read, the more he understood the situation regarding the women’s division.
LWC had 13 female wrestlers contracted under them. In that, five of them were trainees, who had just joined the company in the last year. While they had good potential, they weren’t ready to be inside the ring yet. So, naturally using them in his program wasn’t a viable option.
That left 8 readily available wrestlers for him to work with. So, Rob focused his attention on those eight first. He divided them into various types to gain an understanding of what he had to work with.
There were two submission specialists on the list namely Evelyn Carter and Diana Wharton. Those two had solid in-ring skills with a good reputation among the fans. In fact, Diana Wharton was the current LWC Women’s Champion. This alone was enough to prove her skills.
Diana Wharton had all the makings of becoming a ring general. She had ample experience and a good presence of mind. She was also able to dictate the pace of a match when needed and had a very high evaluation among LWC officials.
She also had an athletically toned physic that wasn’t too buff. It made her an ideal material to put the title on. Her cheery face had conquered a large number of fans in Longham City and she was one of the most popular members of the roster.
However, her mic work was only average.
It wasn’t entirely her fault. The standards for promo in this world aren’t very high and only a few were able to have the natural charisma required to get over in this world. In fact, this aspect of pro wrestling has been largely ignored in this world.
In Rob’s evaluation, Diana had all the makings of a great babyface. With a little bit of polishing and a targeted storyline, he had the confidence to make Diana the new face of the women’s division in LWC.
On the other hand, Evelyn Carter was a bit worse in Rob’s opinion. While her looks were average, her face wasn’t the right kind to make her a good babyface. In fact, Rob was wondering if she could make a great heel.
With her fierce appearance, Evelyn Carter could be the kind of heel that took no shit and whooped everyone’s ass. Her temperament would also suit such a character.
But to develop her to such a level, would take time. He needed to craft a character that gradually became overbearing and dominating for it to work. So, Rob put her on the long-term development list.
