Canadian Ninjas: Who has more upside?

[Dat Dude]

The Canadian Ninjas: two talented ladies in their own respects, who both got a ton of potential that this board knows all about. But between Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews, who do you think will go farther career-wise? Who's more likely to be signed by TNA, WWE, or promotions in Japan full-time? And who will develop into the better performer?

I think Nicole has more of an upside than Portia, specifically in the ring. A lot of that has to do with her being bigger and more athletic. Portia's a better heel though currently. I think Nicole will be the clear better wrestler by the time they are in their thirties.

Um, I honestly don't know if either will go to the E or TNA (though it'd be awesome if they both joined the E Hero/Claudio style), and out of the two, I think Portia would probably be the one to go full time in Japan.

If WWE will sign AJ I think Portia has a shot. She is just cute as a button

[Steveweiser]

Although Portia is the better character and heel, I think she's undersized for what the WWE wants, and she'll probably be better off like Colt Cabana and El Generico, and naming her own price on the indies and in Japan. Nicole is currently limited by her university course and real life job, but I think soon enough she'll expand more, and especially with Death Rey and Paige there vouching for her, within three years, Nicole will be in the WWE.

Nicole. She has the look that wwe wants.

["I'm Batman..."]

Nicole for WWE, but I'd take Portia.

Portia's mic work alone makes her perfect for WWE which needs people who can talk for TV. But Nicole is more athletic as a wrestler. Both have strengths. As a team they are a great mix of everything.

[Steveweiser]

They're both working as babyfaces in their "home" feds (Portia in ACW, Nicole in ECCW), so that'll help their versatility when it comes to getting signed.

[Celgress]

Nicole Matthews, imho.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

Never got the love for Portia but I am a big fan of Nicole. They do work well together as a tag team though.

[Crusty Ruffles]

Portia is the Colt Cabana to Nicole's CM Punk.

But I love them both.

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

Portia's physical appeal is apparently not universal, but I'm not sure anyone would say that objectively, she's not the better-looking of the pair. Sad as it is, the WWE would care about that.

Plus, she's the better actor.

[Steveweiser]

Portia's deceivingly cute. Nicole is stunning. Big difference in WWE's eyes.

[Emmet Russell]

I adore both. Portia a bit more than Nicole. Nicole is a better overall wrestler, there is really no denying that fact. Portia can be rather sloppy at times but she makes up for it with amazing personality and heel characteristics.

In my opinion, Nicole would be better off in TNA where she would likely get a better chance to wrestle. Portia would be a great fit for the WWE in the same vein as a lady like Maryse. Maryse was all character and that got her through.

[The OP]

If I was booking RAW, I would try to get heat on AJ by having her staff some of the other corporate positions with her girlfriends, starting with Portia.
