Woman

[8.0] "You can't deny Nancy Benoit's place in professional wrestling history and it's a damn shame she isn't celebrated the way she should be. Nancy got her start in the business selling programs for Eddie Graham's CWF in Florida and modeling for wrestling magazines. But her true breakout came when she teamed with Kevin Sullivan as "The Fallen Angel" in his Army of Darkness. Together, they traveled the territories and drew massive heat, especially in the Bible Belt, pushing boundaries with a gimmick that was ahead of its time. After a brief stint in WCW managing Doom and Ric Flair, Nancy found her stride in ECW, where she became the character that would define her legacy: Woman. Over the next three years, she managed a who's who of talent, including Kerry Von Erich, Sandman, 2 Cold Scorpio, and again, Kevin Sullivan. Eventually, she returned to WCW where she would meet and inevitably fall in love with Chris Benoit. We all know what happened from there. But that ending shouldn't erase what came before. Nancy was one of the first true valets who brought not just sex appeal, but presence, intelligence, and mystique to the role. She wasn't just eye candy, she was a force. She knew the business inside and out, and she played her role to perfection in an era where women were rarely given the spotlight or the credit. It's a tragedy that her name is now mostly associated with her death, not her contributions. Nancy deserves to be remembered for what she gave to the industry not just as a victim of one of wrestling's darkest days. The Benoit tragedy is exactly that, a tragedy. Three lives were lost that never should've been. And it's heartbreaking that it took something so horrific for the wrestling world to finally start looking in the mirror and making long-overdue changes. Nancy Benoit was a pioneer. And it's about time the industry started treating her like one."

[2.0] "Please keep in mind I'm only speaking on how I viewed her work as a manager in WCW. I didn't see anything she did before that and I'm not speaking ill of the deceased. I really didn't like her as a valet of the Four Horsemen. She never really contributed anything. All she did during their matches was continually shout the name of the person in the ring. "RIIIIIIIIIIC" "AAAAAARRRNNNN" Several times throughout the match. Her screaming is like Bill Alphonso's whistle. If I rewatch something with their involvement I either don't watch it at all or watch on mute."

[8.0] "Woman was an excellent manager and on-screen personality. She showed some versality in the different gimmicks she played too and had real presence. Very uniquely beautiful too and was sexy with really even trying. Such a shame what happened to her and her son and even Chris Beniot. Probably the biggest tragedy in the history of wrestling. A shame she isn't remembered for what all she brought to the table when she was in wrestling."

[8.0] "Nancy had pretty much everything you'd want in a great valet - not only looked great, but had a lot of charisma and personality, and wasn't afraid to get involved in matches and even take a bump or two. I think she did work a bit better as a heel than a face; in the latter role a lot of her involvement was somewhat reduced to shrieking in support of her charge - as a heel her dark, smoldering quality came through more in garnering attention and supporting her character. I won't dwell on how her and her son's lives ended, other than to say it is truly tragic."

[4.0] "Kind of like the Melina of the 90's. With her constant screeching which she did in place of getting involved. Was at her best as the valet for Flair."

[7.0] "I never saw her as Fallen Angel. I first saw this lovely woman as Robin Greene, Rick Steiner's obsession who slowly turned evil before our eyes, joining Kevin Sullivan and becoming his real-life wife. While she later displayed bad judgment with her affair with Chris Benoit, one can hardly blame her as much as the situation Sullivan put her in while booking his own divorce. Her run with the Four Horsemen is what I'll remember her for, as well as managing Doom, Butch Reed and Ron Simmons. She was a beautiful woman and it's a shame her life was ended permaturely."

[10.0] "Fallen Angel was utterly captivating. The Robin Greene slow morph into Woman was masterfully done and one of the highlights of the Jim Herd era of WCW, I was locked in and LOVED the turn against the Steiner brothers and the introduction of Doom. She was almost perfect as Ric Flair's valet, but soon she was no longer on my radar. I missed her ECW run, but if I live long enough to watch it - I will edit in my thoughts of her tenure there. Her return to WCW was quite enjoyable! She fit in great with The Four Horsemen and helped take eyes off the fact that Elizabeth couldn't appear the slightest bit evil or menacing. A hidden gem in wrestling is watching the sexual tension between herself and Gene Okerlund. She rrreeeaallyyy poured it on and I still laugh at it all. Unfortunately some real low life scumf#ck took her and her son's life. She was great! 9.5 rounded up."

"'Always remember, and never forget: only good girls are made of sugar and spice' Special aura, a damn good promo."

[9.0] "Unfortunately Woman will never get the recognition she deserves. A truly great valet who had a great sense for the business."

[7.0] "Not gonna lie. I had no idea Woman was Chris Benoit? s wife that he murdered until just now. Truly sad. She was one hell of a manager, even though her incessant ring side screaming got on my nerves."

[9.0] "Woman was absolutely great, she had so much personality and charisma. Her murder means Nancy does not get anywhere near enough credit for her work that she deserves or talked about as much as she should be. She was amazing in an era when women were often nothing more than eye candy."

[9.0] "By far the best female manager! No one compares to her when I watched the documentary, I didn't even know how much she was a fan of her work, which I admire) Unfortunately, due to the actions of Chris Benoit, she was also removed from WWE history ! It's not fair, she was a victim of the situation ... and because of her passion and love for work, she deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame! Please get her work recognized! I'm saddened to ignore her"

[8.0] "Possibly the best valet ever. She could express utter contempt without ever saying a word, when she was with the sandman she was absolutely awesome. Its a shame that she married that psycho (whose name is not worthy to appear here)"

[10.0] "She could play the psycho valet better than anyone. He work with Kevin Sullivan was pure gold. Throw in she was easy on the eyes and if she would of come around 10 years later the sky would of been the limit for her. Too bad her piece of shit husband did what he did, may he burn in hell."

[8.0] "A good wrestler and a good manager, I always appreciated what Woman brought the table. Shame she is not remembered more for her abilities."
