Here’s some Notes from The PWI Female 50 Rankings, published on Rajah.com…

– According to the magazine, April Hunter recently un-retired after announcing her retirement from in-ring competition at the start of the year. PWI factors in body of work (see Malia Hosaka, Lexie Fyfe), hence Hunter’s relatively high ranking.

– Jacqueline is the only wrestler in history to be listed in both the PWI 500 as well as the PWI Female 50.

– Over a quarter of the rankings are composed of women’s wrestlers from Canada. Gail Kim is the highest ranked at No. 3, and Portia Perez rounds out the list at No. 50. Other Canadians in the Top 50 include Taylor Wilde, Natalya (Neidhart), Allison Danger, Traci Brooks, Sarah Stock, Kelly Couture, Jaime D (Sirelda), Milena Roucka (WWE developmental wrestler), LuFisto, Danyah, and Jennifer Blake.

– Of the the 50 women listed, 22 have wrestled for the SHIMMER promotion. Those names include Awesome Kong, Beth Phoenix, MsChif, Sara Del Ray, Roxxi Laveaux, Mercedes Martinez, Taylor Wilde, Daizee Haze, Natalya (Neidhart), Allison Danger, Sarah Stock, Cheerleader Melissa (a.k.a. Raisha Saeed), Amber O’Neal, Lexie Fyfe, Cindy Rogers, Malia Hosaka, Christie Ricci, Lufisto, Jennifer Blake, Danyah, Daffney, and Portia Perez.

– Notable women left off the list: 6-time Ohio Valley Wrestling Women’s Champion Serena Deeb (and current champion), Josie (has held the OVW women’s belt three times in 2008 and recently wrestled on Impact), Maryse (who’s been wrestling in WWE since the spring and in developmental prior), Brie and Nicole Bella (who were called up to WWE within a year, whereas Milena Roucka is still in developmental after two - and counting), Rain (a.k.a. Ms. Payton Banks), Lacey, Shelly Martinez (who’s wrestled at least as much as Rhaka Khan), and Ashley Lane.
