Tamina

[7.0] "Pioneer of the women's industry, and deserved a lot more than she ended up with. Great at what she did but unfortunately just never got the chance to kick on from it. Lot of longevity in her and it was great to finally see her win some titles towards the end, and she was never overly athletic or technic, but she was still a fairly decent wrestler in her day. I think a run in the bloodline could have pushed her to something great"

[0.0] "The biggest misunderstanding currently signed with WWE. Pathetic on the mic, nothing special in the ring, no character at all, gets no reaction. If she ever wins a title, I'm gonna cry. Maybe her pairing with Lana gives her something, but I seriously doubt that she is even possible to save"

[6.0] "Tamina has quietly built a career defined by resilience, longevity, and a deep commitment to the WWE women's division. While she has rarely been at the forefront of major storylines, her role as a powerhouse enforcer has remained consistent throughout the years. From her early days alongside the Usos to various partnerships and stints in tag team competition, Tamina has always filled a valuable role as the muscle--someone who can make her opponents look strong while holding her own in physical matchups. She may not be the most agile or technically refined wrestler, but what Tamina brings is presence. When she enters the ring, she carries herself with toughness and intensity, and that has helped elevate others around her. In more recent years, her brief but heartfelt run with Natalya as WWE Women's Tag Team Champions gave fans a glimpse of what Tamina could offer when given a meaningful role and time to connect. Her contributions might not be flashy, but they've been steady. Tamina has become a respected veteran presence who has helped shape and support the evolution of women's wrestling, often without getting the credit she deserves. Her impact may be understated, but it's absolutely there for those who look beyond the headlines"

[4.0] "She had so much potential for me. But she could not use it. After 2012 and 2013 I felt like a huge downgrade. Of course she had couple of injuries but she has 15 years ring experience and nothing for honorable mentions. Probably she ended her career but I wanted see her in differrent companies"

[5.0] "I feel so bad for Tamina, she has wrestled for so long yet has never had a prominent singles career."

[6.0] "Yall are so harsh with her rating. Its insane. If this was any man youd praise him for the 13 years old career. Tamina wrestled for 13 years, thats a milestone on its own. Plus she never pushed to win anything, she kept her mouth shut and put everyone they wanted her to put over, over. Plus she had her moments, annual EC title match, AJ pairing, team BAD (and blonde), welcoming committee and my favorite winning the tag titles with Nattie and the Dana double wedding 24/7 title feud and team. She might have not been on the promo side but not everyone is. Id rather celebrate, than criticize her work."

[2.0] "Painfully bad. No other way about it. A mic work and presence that aren't even so bad they're good, they are just terrible. An excruciatingly poor in-ring performance, no exceptions. There are a lot of words that one could use to describe her, but all of them amount to acknowledging she's one of the worst out there."

[0.0] "The drizzling shits. But, when you look at her career... she did 4 matches for WXW and then was signed up by WWE. 90% of the folks signed up to FCW around this time were awful, so I think the fact she didn't have great trainers probably didn't help. You watch her now, and it's just so clear that everybody else is on a different level to her. She's boring, awful in-ring, awful on the mic, doesn't even have a drop of aura, she's just... there."

[0.0] "She was never interesting. terrible on the mic and kept botching move after move. she should have been a bodyguard for smaller women wrestlers. She is a fantastic person , but she never really stood out in the divas and women era. her gimmick is lame."

[3.0] "Tamina is one of the most boring wrestlers to ever step foot in a real wrestling ring due to her limited moveset. She's basically a safer Nia Jax except without the push. Her mic skills over the years did seem to improve but she's been in the WWE for almost 15 years and never got over. The fact she's still around just speaks nepotism."

[0.0] "I will never understand why she is still in the company and how she was able to be so present compared to her lack of talent in the ring and on the microphone. No charisma, bad wrestler, uninteresting character, no intensity even though she's supposed to be a powerhouse. The hype that led to her tag team reign with Natalya remains one of the biggest mysteries of the universe to me."

[1.0] "The definition of nepo baby. Vince McMahon lied to cops to keep Jimmy Snuka out of jail, so of course he'd be willing to keep his daughter employed forever. It's honestly kind of astounding how someone who's been wrestling consistently in the WWE system for nearly 15 years can still be so bad. She didn't even settle into just coasting on being OK like Natalya. Tamina wishes she could ever be "just OK". She either A. Simply hasn't tried to improve at all since debuting or B. Has such a low ceiling that there simply isn't any realistic improvement to be had. At the time of this writing, out of her top *thirty* rated matched on this site, exactly *one* has been a singles match. And that was in 2012. Everything else is Rumbles, Chambers, MITB, tag, fatal four-ways, etc. In other words, matches where other, actually good wrestlers have matches around her. Tamina's only upside is her natural size, which is basically negated by how graceless she is in the ring. And the promos, good lord. I hear she's a terrific person in real life so I feel bad ragging on her so bad but like, goddamn, how can you not?"

[2.0] "Horrible wrestler, she's the Nia Jax that doesn't injury people. Never showed anything good in the ring or any other qualities in her character, basically non-existent mic skills and charisma, completely boring."

[7.0] "We all have our reasons to hype behind a wrestler and Tamina is one of them; she has been in the forefront of the women's division longer than any woman besides Natalya in today's division; however, she doesn't get the attention or crowd retention since her start. Yes, you can say her ring work isn't the best nor are her gimmicks as a wrestler and anything she was given fell flat, but it was when she and Natalya won the titles that she was given those months to shine the best she ever did in her whole WWE career and it shows. However, the thing that gives her the edge off the original 5 rating I was going to give her was that throughout the years she has been considered the "Locker room mother" giving everyone advice to the new generation of wrestlers and overall anyone in the same locker room as her. Hope she gets one last chance to prove herself but its not likely."

[1.0] "Dreadful sorry. Slightly better than Nia Jax in that she didn't seem to be close to injuring someone any second but a very slow and clunky worker."

[0.0] "Terrible wrestling, she has been in the fed for so long because of his family, his father and siblings. Not even a good match in her book"

[5.0] "Tamina had a lot of potential to break the mold of the diva in the divas era of WWE. She was better than a lot of her fellow competitors which has lead the her being able to stick around during the womens revolution. Injuries have definitely hurt her career and at times she has failed to keep up with the younger stars."

[3.0] "Man, is there anyone less memorable than her in terms of wrestling for so long yet doing so little? I mean I respect the fact she's had a job for what seems like forever and that she got a lot of success for someone starting in the business at such a age, but at some point you have to realise that she's really been the same flat worker forever. Just years of boring material with next to nothing interesting about her."

[3.0] "Tamina, unlike Nia Jax, isn't dangerous in the ring, but she isn't good either as her moveset is very basic and she has no charisma or mic skills whatsoever."

"I feel that she has an average moveset with her kicks being her strong point. She's strong, and in women's wrestling, that often leads to less botching, and Tamina is of the safest females in WWE. As far as appeal and charisma, she's one of the worst in the business. She never gets a pop, and I feel that she's one of the least popular wrestlers in all of WWE. She's regarded as the women's locker room leader, which explains how she's remained employed by the WWE for so long."

[3.0] "Usually the worst worker in any match she is in unless it was during the diva era of Nia Jax was involved. Nothing special or exciting, but not awful either."

[5.0] "She was already very good but age really is very difficult to overcome. In 2012 I thought Tamina's brutality was genius. It was beautiful to see. Unfortunately after 2015 she stopped making good matches and went downhill a lot."

[0.0] "The only talent that Tamina has concerning the wrestling business is the capacity of being employed for 10+ years without being relevant once. She has no good match, no good promo, no good segment but she is still here."

[5.0] "She's just there at this point. She has good matches once in a while but generally speaking she's slow and usually gassed up by the end of her matches."

"She is just gaining weight and nothing no proper moves and she always looks exhausted after 1 or 2 minutes of a fight"

[0.0] "been in WWE for 10+ years and hasn't done anything significant, she's just there. she's trash in the ring, hasn't evolved at all. her last name is the only reason she's still here."

[3.0] "Tamina should switch to part-time wrestling because being a permanent part of the roster doesn't help her or the roster. She has absolutely no charisma. And in the ring she is very weak, and even her signature moves are bad - Superkick hits very low and Superfly Splash looks weak."

[6.0] "It's probably past time to retire, just like Natalya, I believe they would both be much more useful behind the scenes helping new talent. My rate is 5.5, but as there is no such possibility, yeah... a 6 is fine."

[1.0] "She's been my least favorite woman on the roster for years. I just can't find a single reason to like her other then some ironic enjoyment of just being a shite wrestler that shows up sometimes."

[10.0] "I don't think Tamina deserves such a rating. She knew how to make good matches in her career and was always underestimated! I hope she gets the chance to win another real title in her career other than the 24/7 Championship, because she can do it! I think she has improved! She was in good team and duo with Nia Jax or Natalya, or with Naomi and Sasha Banks as Team Bad."

[2.0] "She provided a good moment when she won her first title but that's about it. She's not great in the ring though what little signature moves she has, like a superkick and splash, she does well. Her promos are cringy as well. She's better as a dominant heel and bodyguard type role but is pretty limited for anything else. She may well be respected backstage and well liked, that doesn't make her good though. I will give her an extra point for providing some entertainment with the 24/7 title program recently. She's shown some comedic timing. Overall though, it's not good."

[6.0] "not that bad as i have seen worse wrestlers out side of wwe and is the daughter of jimmy superfly snuka"

[1.0] "Tamina is one of the worst wrestlers WWE has on its current roster. I don't understand why WWE kept him for so long. She botch a lot, no charisma and bad on the mic."

[1.0] "She's really awful. Don't even deserve to be on TV. She's botch queen. Only getting tv time because of being Samoan family member."

[2.0] "Her in ring ability is very rapidly regressing, and she was never that good to begin with, either. She's already 44 years old, so she's only going to get worse."

[4.0] "Tamina is usually only in 2 minute diva-level matches but we never see much from her considering she is apparently a 12 year vet. I think WWE could do more with her though."

[1.0] "Has Tamina ever done anything at all' I am astonished she is still in WWE considering the amount of people who have been cut in her time."

[1.0] "Despite is incredibly hard has a worst mic than Natalya and is terrible in ring, I never saw her in a good fight and her hold carrerer highlight was beaing on a mea 2nd on the card match at WM36, and the hole shit with Tegan Nox she seem overpased with how bad Tamyna is, and I will insist on what a bad promo dealer she is"

[2.0] "I really don't care if she's a "veteran of the business" she's awful man, my god. Please please retire"

[2.0] "She's just not very good. Despite being a good size, she doesn't carry herself as a threat and that's just before she gets in the ring where she looks like she has no idea what's going on. I think there is a place for her that plays to those limitations but they often put her in positions that aren't favorable to her."

[2.0] "Ranges from terrible to average. 10 years in the industry hasn't had a women's title and no good matches. She can't do superkick or splash well which are supposed to be her finishing moves. She seems too slow and lethargic to do powerhouse moves with any vigor. Her partnership with Nia Jax was the worst thing I've ever seen since Jax and Baszler."

[1.0] "For someone who has been wrestling for years she is dreadful. He moves look like crap she is so slow it takes her 10 minutes to get to the top rope to do a bad looking splash."

[3.0] "It's tough rating Tamina for me. I can tell that she is really trying and she seems to be a nice person outside of the ring. But honestly, I can't name a match of her's that I'd want to watch again. As a performer, she just doesn't do it for me. It's nice that she does the Superfly Splash in tribute to her father, but she otherwise looks sloppy in the ring and has little to no charisma. Her promo skills are rough as well, especially the painfully awkward Ellsworth line. She hardly stands out on her own and needs at least one other person to make her seem relevant. While I appreciate her background, I'm not a fan of her as a wrestler."

[4.0] "She's better than Nia Jax, but isn't good. She's kinda slow. Has solid superkick and spear but her splash. Lol."

[1.0] "She has a good intimidating look but is too awkward in the ring for it to amount to anything. Another legacy name that relies entirely on their family to have any identity."

[0.0] "Honestly awful, she has less charisma than a sponge and has been wrestling for 11 years and has no fundamentalists at all. Only around because of her heritage yet she is so bad she can't use it to her advantage."

[10.0] "I am gonna be honest and just admit that I'm biased. Tamina was the first women's wrestler I saw on TV when i came back to wrestling in 2018. She's been my favourite ever since. I know she's not amazing in-ring, but she's far from terrible. I sincerely hope this tag run with Natalya ends with them getting the tag titles. She deserves it for her 10+ years of service alone."

[3.0] "If you look at her rating year-by-year, you can tell that Tamina has just been on a downward spiral ever since joining WWE over a decade ago. When she premiered, she had an interesting look during a time when divas still ruled the roost. Add that with her being the daughter of a legend, and it felt like she would be a massive breakout star. But fast forward all these years & all you can say now is that she was a major flop. Never amounted to much in the ring & failed even harder any time she had to pick up a mic. At this point it feels like she's kept her job just because of her family lineage."

[3.0] "When it's all said and done, I wonder if there's anything about Tamina's career that will be remembered by anyone if I'm honest."

[2.0] "Total charisma vacuum with a basic, dependable moveset. OK look, but doesn't look like she knows what's happening in front of her at any given time on camera."
