Once a year, LadySports Online takes a look at the many up-and-coming young women in the sport, takes their measure, and judges who has
the potential for greatness in the years to come. And we are especially impressed with this year's pride of lionesses...
ANGELINA
Age: 23
Hometown: San Antonio, Texas
They don't grow 'em shy in Texas. Case in point is this Lone Star lovely, who has achieved tremendous success
this past year as not one, but TWO different wrestlers! As Angelina, she quickly established herself in her
home state as a force to be reckoned with. And, donning a mask, she ventured down to Mexico and the LLF as
Pink, where she took the Luchadora world by storm! Now working on both sides of the border as Angelina, this
is an instance of a young talent becoming a true international star.

APRIL
Age: 18
Hometown: Bacup, Lancashire, UK
This British battler literally exploded on the scene in recent months, displaying a level of ability, coupled
with a steadfast determination to win (by any means necessary), that immediately reminded many of Pippa L'Vinn.
And the fact that April has unflinchingly challenged the likes of Roxi, Shelby Beach, and L'Vinn herself...
and given all three veterans some seriously tough fights... indicates that April has a very promising
future for herself in the UK ring.

ANGEL DUST
Age: Unknown
Hometown: Lordstown, Ohio
Standing a mere 5'1” and, frankly, looking as if she'd have difficulty hitting triple digits on the scale even
if she were soaking wet, Angel Dust would seem to be an unlikely candidate for pro wrestler. And yet, this
diminutive dynamo has made the most of her small size, displaying a dazzling speed and acrobatic ability in
the ring that often leaves opponents too dazed to know what's happening! Overcoming one's seeming limitations
to achieve success is a hallmark of greatness, and Angel Dust has proven herself to be nothing if not successful.

JELENA
Age: 18
Hometown: Venice, Florida
There are times when one finds someone who is so enthusiastic about their wrestling, you just can't help but
share in their excitement. Jelena is one of those someone's. Young, bright and determined, she never ceases
to work to improve herself in the ring. Never flashy, she's the kind of wrestler who steps in the ring and
pushes herself hard to get the job done. And it's that kind of effort that promises true success for her ahead.

SARAH LYNN
Age: 18
Hometown: Helen, West Virginia
In our dictionary, open up the page to the definition of “Tough”, and you'll see a picture of this West
Virginia wonder. She isn't simply adept at blending complex grappling maneuvers with good old fashioned
brawling in the ring (ask the always-formidable Scarlett Rose or Kacee Carlisle how many bruises they took
away from their fights with Sarah)... just think about how she came back from her horrific auto accident
earlier this year, and is already back tearing up rings, to realize that this girl is T-O-U-G-H.
And for the long haul in wrestling, tough counts for a hell of a lot.

GENNI RIGHT
Age: 24
Hometown: Birmingham, Alabama
In a sense, Genni has picked the hardest row to hoe in wrestling. A strict adherent of what Old
Schoolers used to call 'Scientific Wrestling', Ms. Right firmly believes that anything worth doing is
worth doing by the book. That seems almost quaint in an era when even the supposed 'Good Girls' in
wrestling often resort to questionable tactics, but she has refused to be deterred. Of course, it helps
that she's an immensely talented grappler, so she can back up her convictions with action.
And while some might see her attitudes as being a throwback to a long ago age, we like to think she's a
harbinger of how things might be again in women's wrestling.

SU YUNG
Age: 19
Hometown: Parts Unknown
From Asia comes this young battler and, like some exotic flower, her beauty masks a deadly poison.
Su Yung blends a superb measure of martial arts, gymnastics, and traditional ring grappling, bolstering
it with blinding speed and a canny will to win. The end result makes for an impressively daunting
opponent for anyone who steps into the ring with her.
