Lana

[1.0] "Terrible, just terrible. Everything about her as a wrestler sucked. She had awful matches and couldn't cut a promo. She did help Rusev get over but it still isn't enough for me. She seems very weird to me in real life but even without that she still was the opposite of appealing to me. She was the center point of one of the worst storylines in WWE history and it just made her SO hard to watch at times."

[0.0] "I mean one of the worst wrestler in the wwe she dont have talent or ring skills either she is terrible at cutting promos and in mic and her storyline was so boring she disnt even get a title shot in her whole career and her matches was so bad and so broing i was never impressed by her and i dont liked her because i cant even stand her talking she was really hard to listen here and the most funny part is she talked trash on Liv in 2020 and she got dominated by liv morgan in her 2 matches and her 2 matches with Liv was so short thats why i said her storyline was terrible and ehen she unitid with Lana against Liv in 2020 it was really hard to watch because its so shame for me and Lana is shame for me and she will always shame for me"

[5.0] "As a manager, she was great. I never cared much for Rusev but she could sell me on him every now and then. As an in-ring performer, she was downright terrible and came across very annoying during that time too. Will meet in the middle for a 5."

[7.0] "Lana was one of the best promos WWE ever had, bar none. Packaged as the perfect mixture of lethal and lovely, she was everything WWE needed in a valet. As a wrestler, she had moments she shined, and was getting closer every day to being a viable champion (and honestly, her skill level would make for a worthy IC, US, or Speed champion should she return to the ring). It helped that she chose easy-to-use, but cool-to-see moves, like fancy kicks, spinebusters, and facebusters. Her selling was a notable weakpoint, at least in body movement, as her facial acting was stellar. Her packaging, attire, entrance theme(s) always made her feel like a big deal, but she just didn't improve at the pace expected, and honestly it was of no fault of her own, she was clearly getting better and better. I'd love to see more of her in the ring. And yeah, her AEW run was dumb fun as well."

[4.0] "She's the Stacy Keibler of her time--gorgeous, funny, great on the mic, extremely popular and over, but not good in the ring. She has memorable moments with Rusev, but I don't think she matches Stacy or Sable's popularity or even Kelly Kelly's good looks and in-ring performances."

[6.0] "Basically, CJ Perry (AKA Lana in WWE) was more of a valet than she was a wrestler. She was great when she worked the mic, especially when she was with her then-husband Miro (AKA Rusev in WWE). As a wrestler? Not so much."

[5.0] "Rating Lana/CJ Perry is kind of hard here. As a manager, she's really good and should stick with that because she's always an interesting act whenever she's in a good storyline whether it's with Miro or someone else. As a wrestler? Ummmmm, nope. Not even worth anything higher than a 1 or 2 point rating. Balancing out, I think 5 points is the best I can do for CJ."

[4.0] "If she never wrestled, and was only being rated as a Valet (much like JR is only rated as a commentator), then she'd probably rate higher, particularly for her work as Lana. But the fact is, she does wrestle, and she's not very good at it. Moreover, the CJ Perry manager character is lacking in anything to differentiate her."

[4.0] "Liked Lana when she was managing Rusev early on. Her character work and promo work was always good. After that she never found herself again. She and Ziggler did not fit and her work as a wrestler, while she continued to show improvement was below that of the rest of the roster. Her time in AEW shows promise and I hope it works better for her there than in WWE after the initial push."

[1.0] "Had a high point as Rusev's manager but as soon as that ended it all went downhill. Dreadful wrestler, awkward as anything and once she lost the Russian accent her promos became abysmal. Was particularly cringe in her attempts to be a babyface in her last year in the company."

[2.0] "She is bad. Too bad. Unlike many, she still had her space, and never showed anything. No advancement. No improvement. She just got worse with each game. And he always did the same thing. She was only good as a manager but as a fighter she was a failure."

[6.0] "As A manager a 10/10, as a wrestler a 2/10 so 6 points is the fair middle ground. Would love to see Miro return as rusev with lana back to being a manager"

[2.0] "Very limited worker, she got better, but not much better and after she dropped that character, her microphone and acting just started to SUCK. Would have been better off being a manager and a character."

[10.0] "I rate her as a manager because she had her best times as a manager and she hasn't wrestle much. She had an exceptional charisma. She was excellent at the microphone. She did her gimmicks well and she connected well with the crowd."

[5.0] "Good promo ability, strong character, fabulous look. Not good in the ring but did improve ever so slightly during her final months in the WWE."

[3.0] "Un in ring désastreux et un personnage inintéressant lorsque rusev n'était pas avec elle, j'avais juste peur qu'elle gagne un titre majeur haha"

[3.0] "Not a good wrestler, botches several moves almost every match. She'll eventually get better, but for the time being, the most she can get from me is a 3."

[5.0] "She was great manager. She is awful wrestler, but at least she is trying, gotta give her credit tho."

[6.0] "Lana is very underrated. She is certainly a mediocre wrestler, but her advantage is that she doesn't try to seem like something more. Focused on comedic moments, she acts as a kind of girl with no prospects, a girl to laugh at, and it works. I liked her line with Jax last year, as well as the moment with her win in battle royal, where even such a thing was done without violating the conventions of her character. In fact, watching Raw, I can note that the ability to spin within your own framework and always act logically is an underrated talent, and there aren't many people who do better. I would put Orton, Bliss, Fiend, Asuka, and AJ Styles among them. Perhaps Sheamus would have been added here, as a truly worthy employee, but I refuse to take the rewriting of history in any way for the sake of praising McIntyre, whom Sheamus supposedly envied all his career. Lana is good at her own pace and doesn't try to take a swing at more. When her story ended and Charlotte took her place - it got worse, despite the fact that almost every user will say that Flair is definitely better as a wrestler. But her matches are simply destroyed by the ratings. Everyone admits that this is very bad. But Charlotte continues to get high marks, because it is good by default. While Lana is humiliated because she is just in her place. Such characters are important and she really is one of the few who doesn't annoy and force you to change the channel. She is a conscientious employee and I am sorry that she is treated like this."

[3.0] "I? m giving Lana a 3 based solely on her ability as a valet. If I was scoring her based on workrate and actual wrestling ability she is an absolute 0. It does not help that the way she is told to get sympathy is crying and cowering especially when we have seen awesome babyface women like Becky Lynch get her nose busted and she still will stand tall like a defiant badass. God bless Lana for taking bumps and trying her best to learn the craft but in the interest of giving an honest assessment she is just not a good wrestler at all."

[1.0] "Look, Im trying to be as nice as possible because Im not about this type of stuff but I need to be brutally honest about Lana. I cut her slack in that she has worked hard to try and improve as a wrestler. However, the quality of her matches is very low and botches are often a common theme. A lot of her segments are littered with cringe and she has struggled to get over. Her mic skills need work and she has been placed in a lot of atrocious storylines. I feel kinda bad for her with the two main ones: The Nia Jax one where she was apparently being punished because of Miro. The Lashley storyline was so bad I would pay good money to have it erased from my brain. I still feel horrible to everyone involved in that. I do respect that shes been working hard to improve herself as a wrestler, but she only thrives due to Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunns looks-based vision for womens wrestling."

[0.0] "I don't understand why her rating is so high... she is so bad in the ring that calling her a wrestler is a sin... no matter how hard she tries and tries, she is not suitable for wrestle... when you know that she will put one foot in the ring you immediately imagine that her performance will be a disaster... she is a diva in 2021."

[2.0] "Wow she is trash wrestler. She's got nothing at all, she became really annoying and lost all of her "Ravishing Russian" charm. She's just a "2010s diva" type and that's all. Hopefully they won't push her anymore."

[4.0] "I've just dropped her rating from a 6 to 4 because briefly I rated her as a valet but now she's a wrestler & she's awful at it."

[2.0] "I ranked her as a wrestler cause that is her current active role, so if you ask me, she is a very inadequate wrestler and should take the time to train how it should be. Just a rookie that it is still very very green"

[2.0] "She? s not good, really, really not good. There isn? t much to say, really. I do this rating after seeing her documentary, it shows that she tries really hard to do good, she? s a nice person, but not a good wrestler. I hope for her, she will get better with time, but, the rating is not all bout her, she also got put into a position where she can? t do anything, and goes into play. I try to stay positive about her, especially after that documentary, but as for as a in-ring performer/wrestler, there? s much positive."

[4.0] "I think Lana's chief problem is that for whatever reason the WWE has over the years grown more and more allergic to managers and mouthpieces in general. Lana was pretty funny with Rusev as a "Boris and Natasha" type and in general she's a decent talker and manager who could have helped good midcarders with problems on the microphone to get over a bit, asinine booking aside. Granted, she's not Jimmy Hart, but a manager goes a long way towards masking that new great in-ring talent has as much charisma as a sock or that a big threatening mountain of muscles sounds incredibly shy when talking. In the modern WWE pretty much everybody is expected to wrestle, so Lana had to wrestle, and to be fair she seems to have really put her back into it but, alas, she's truly a terrible in-ring performer."

[5.0] "Not a good wrestler at all, i would prefer her as a valet or manager, some of her promo's with Bobby where funny, but other then that either she needs to go watch some ECW of how Valet's should dress or stay away from the arena."

[3.0] "How in the world is she rated generally higher than Naomi and other women like that? Ratings like that make me completely question the credibility of this site. Anyway, I applaud her effort to try to get better in the ring, but at this point I just don't think she needs to actually be in the ring. She should be a valet/manager, as that's more her speed. Always thought it was silly that she had to do that "Russian" accent despite everyone knowing that she is not Russian at all. Her storyline with Ziggler was terrible, as everybody knew she was with Rusev in real life. The Lashley storyline was initially engaging and controversial, but it quickly turned to an eyesore just making both Lashley and Rusev look stupid. Lana's best qualities are her looks and her ability to play characters, but a major disaster in the ring despite the training she has had. It doesn't seem like there will be any improvement in the ring either."

[1.0] "I think that she has lost all her momentum. How gorgeous she was as an evil Russian and how disgusting she was when she started performing in the ring. And I'm completely silent about storylines with Enzo, Lashley and Ziggler. Absolutely zero skills in the ring and a shameful career"

[3.0] "What happened to Lana? She had decent microphone skills when she managed Rusev from 2014 to 2015 but, now hearing her makes me cringe at how bad her acting skills are. Her in-ring skills are not bad but, not good either."

[3.0] "Lana was consistently underwhelming to me. She's a decent talker, but never seemed to fully play the manager role. In the ring, she was absolutely terrible."

[3.0] "I guess she was a good manager for Rusev? Hard to judge considering she really wasn't a massive mouthpiece for him. She's mostly hindered by shitty booking and the fact that they try to push her as a wrestler when it's painfully clear that she's terrible in the ring and can't even get a good match out of the best workers."

"She is a very bad Wrestler, she must improve a lot. Despite this, it is true that she is a good manager. WWE gave him a starting opportunity before learning to be a wrestler and since then little or nothing has improved."

[2.0] "Awful in the ring, average on the mic, what she's doing these days is just terrible though, she doesn't belong in wrestling but they for some reason always keep giving her so much screen time, it's stupid"

[6.0] "Shes always left me wanting more, to see more matches, more of her and she steals your eyes when managing Rusev or others. shes a great character, OK wrestler and it's a shame she wasted her entire character playing backup for Rusev and never going for a solo career."

[4.0] "Originally when Rusev was brought in with Lana they had a cool old school manager dynamic working that I enjoyed. Well that is completely out the window now in favor of Lana essentially being more like a typical girl from the diva's era who tries to take the "learn to wrestle on the job" approach."

[5.0] "Lana certainly looks like a million bucks, and was quite effective in her managerial role, even making the silly fake Russian accent (which she's gradually moved away from) work while managing Rusev. Her transition to active in-ring competition has been less than smooth, though; with many of her current peers coming to the WWE women's division with years of independent experience, Lana's beginner-level abilities look sorely lacking by comparison. Perhaps unsurprisingly she seems to have reverted back to largely a managerial role with occasional in-ring appearances, which may be the best fit for her."

[0.0] "There is a reason that Lana's run as a wrestler was so short and why WWE are very careful when she does wrestle. And that reason is Lana is a terrible wrestler. Awful doesn't even begin to describe her in-ring performances. Her only 'talent' is that she looks cosmetically appealing in minimal clothing."

[6.0] "I love Lana in the MMC. While she isn't the strongest wrestler, she has improved leaps and bounds, and her time in the MMC is letting her wrestle against a variety of other women that she clicks well with, and delivers good matches. It definitely helps her improve, while having fun, incosequential matches. As a character, she knows who she is. she is comfortable on the mic, has a very natural presence, and her acting background really shows by how natural of a presence she has. I do want to see her character away from being "Rusev's wife", and see her grow as her own character,"

[8.0] "She has improved so much since her first match in WWE. Great on the mic cutting promo's. Definitely gets into her character very well on WWE TV. Not to keen on the tension between her & Rusev as of late. This is the second time they have tried to do this with Lana & Rusev. Hopefully they work it out. Lana Crush!"

[4.0] "Lana was a good valet for Rusev as the monster heel. She isn't versatile though. Unfortunately the WWE have other ideas for her and she doesn't fit into the other roles, her wrestling skills just aren't above the manager level."

[4.0] "As a valet fir Rusev a 9 or an 8 but as a wrestler about a 3 at best. Though she has quite an amazing character."

[3.0] "Ok, now can somebody please explain me how lana gets a 7? I mean, she's an absolutely terrible wrestler and we all saw that last year in her little stint at Smackdown Live competing for the Women's Champion without doing absolutely nothing to deserve a title chance(she didn't even win a match for qualifiying herself as N. 1 Contender). As a talker I think she's so overrated, I don't remember a single lana promo worth of memory"

[5.0] "Shes is a very respectable manager, but she doesn't seem to be able to get the wrestling thing down. Breaking her up was Rusev was probably the worst thing they could have done for her character in particular."

[2.0] "A 2 because she is a good talker and manager. Her wrestling skill is non existent. Of course she got a single push thanks to her look and total divas. Now she is a completely dead weight on sd with tamina. She should still pair with rusev."

[0.0] "Now that she's wrestling, I'll have to grade her as a wrestler. She's had one match that aired and not much else to go on. Until then, she's a fail. Not much else more to say but since I need to hit the character limit I'll go on about how it's weird they're trying to legitimize the women's division, but then have the hot, leggy blonde have her first singles match be for the title."

[8.0] "I'm wainting to see the WWE debut of Lana ! She's seriously the most sexiest diva in the company actually and could be the figure like Torrie Wilson be. But the appareance are not enough to be a Diva ! She's actually working to wrestle correctly , and i think that she can do a good job ! So Lana, we're wainting !"

[1.0] "For some reason she just rubs me up the wrong way. Needs a lot more training as a wrestler, total contribution in the Women's match at Wrestlemania 32 kick-off was a to break up a pinfall attempt and to push Brie Bella off the top rope. Also loses points for being involved in that awful Rusev/Ziggler/ love triangle story line. Supposed to be a complete bitch behind the scenes, another prototypical Sable clone. A complete detriment to Women's Wrestling."

[6.0] "Lana's pretty good on the mic, she has a strong look that makes her stand out from her fellow Divas and she seems to have a passion for the managerial side of the business. She's still somewhat new, and I do know that she has trained in the past to get at it in the ring, not sure where that went, or is going. She's ok."
