MAKING A CASE FOR SANTANA GARRETT
When you look at Santana Garrett this year, you may notice that this woman has met the same criteria PWI has put in place, but they still place her #4 this year. Whether you agree or not, she has been completely successful after her TNA departure and it shows. With more championships under her belt, Santana has become more of a female Ultimo Dragon than anyone else.
When you add the fact that she has defended the SHINE Championship, the NWA Championship and other championships in the southeast region, Santana has solidified herself as the best in the world when it comes to wrestling. Her battles with Io Shirai (Whom she recently beat to capture the Wonder of Stardom Championship, the second women’s wrestler from North America to do so), La Rosa Negra, Barbi Hayden, Amber Gallows, Mandy Leon, Su Yung and plenty of others are highly recognized and she does it each time she steps in the ring.
When it comes to championships won, quality of opposition, technical proficiency, win-loss records, and momentum, Santana has it down and is the more successful women’s wrestler in the world. While I’m a supporter of Santana’s in-ring work, I have said in an article about Santana two months ago, “If a young talent comes along and goes off saying that this individual is the best, that might come of as a bit cocky. Santana Garrett is never that cocky but is lucky to have plenty of people in her corner. A student of WWE Hall of Famers Scott Hall and Larry Zbyszko, Santana has the ability to be the best there is today, championships or not.”
But in my mind Santana is the true Best In The World, and has held more championships than anyone in the world right about now.
