Ash By Elegance

[7.0] "The rating doesn't seem fair to me. She is quite solid all around and can do a bit of everything. She's athletic, strong, good seller, fine promo. She's clearly improved her fundamentals and pacing, her character work is good. She's in my favorite TNA stable so maybe I'm biased."

[3.0] "TNA has failed to put Dana over as a dominant, hard-edged heel. It's clear that she has moderately impressive dynamism to contribute to the in-ring department, but her sense of fluidity in-ring is on a Nia Jax level, & she's not even hindered by being Jax's size. Her sense of humor & the way it applies to her character is absolutely insufferable, & she doesn't come across like a badass heel as much as a mischievous rapscallion; patented failures like Ash vs. Havok & Ash vs. Brinley Reece were extremely frustrating to have to sit through."

[1.0] "Absolutely horrendous. I remember there being a small period in 2019 where it felt like Dana Brooke was turning the corner into a potentially decent wrestler but that all seemingly evaporated pretty quickly. And on top of that, she is one of the worst talkers I can ever remember seeing in wrestling. She is one of those people that you can 100% see trying to remember lines and nothing she says ever feels authentic."

[2.0] "She has a good look and that's probably all. She was horrible at everything and the best work she did was probably with Reginald and the 24/7 title. That stuff was fine I guess but nothing too special."

[6.0] "Ash By Elegance started with a lot of potential and was brought to the main roster far too early. Every push she had was short lived and had zero backing in the WWE. She was great as Charlottes stooge and was showing in ring growth, but that didn't last. Every time she had a chance to shine the rug was pulled. In TNA she was given time to develop a campy character and in time I grew to love it. She wasn't the greatest wrestler, but she worked hard. What she lacked in the ring she made up for in character. Not everyone has to be a technician with 5 star matches, but if you can entertain and work your ass off, there's a place for you. I hope she doesn't retire fully and this is just a small step back."

[10.0] "She has improved leaps and bounds since being released from WWE and going to TNA. She has had very good matches and has made the Elegance Brand into something that is can't miss every week on TV. She even won the TNA Knockouts World Championship in a WWE ring which is something no other TNA wrestler can say. So that's really cool. Having the personal concierge with her has also improved her run so much."

[8.0] "I always considered the old Dana Brooke to be incredibly overrated - gave it her all as Charlotte's heater despite a lot of fan backlash, improved leaps and bounds in the ring, unfortunately left WWE but managed to reinvent herself in TNA and start smashing it over there. Really impressed with how her career's gone and it's great to see her in NXT now and then"

[6.0] "This rating is significantly up than what I would have given her WWE work, she got good-ish near the end with the Titus Worldwide comedy stuff, and she was good as Emma's muscle, but Ash by Elegance is twice the performer Dana Brooke ever was. Still nothing special in-ring but she's got the experience and power to hold her own, especially as a tag and trios worker, and she's got enough physical acting down in that kind of catty, prissy diva character to be entertaining whenever she's on. TNA has done wonders for her."

[1.0] "An uninteresting character no matter what she's wearing or what name she's using. She has no charisma, terrible promos, and is athletic enough but nothing she does makes you care about her matches. Bless her heart, she's had so much cosmetic surgery that when she debuted in TNA in the crowd not many fans, live in attendance or at home, knew who she was right away. And oh look trained by Sara Amato..."

"[7.0] I loved how she's taking initiative in the ring and she's adding more to her arsenal. Also really like she has her whole thing going with the Elegance brand she's really making it work. It's like her character has reached a new level. I didn't really like her in WWE I thought her matches with Sarah Logan and Piper Niven were some of her best moments though. She also gets so much nastiness and vitriol when whole time she's simply trying to get better in every aspect she can."

[7.0] "She has steadily carved out a place for herself with persistence and a clear desire to improve. Though her early years were marked by uneven in-ring performances (altho I was a fan of Titus Worldwide), she's evolved into a more confident and polished performer. Her recent reinvention adds intrigue and shows she's committed to staying relevant in a competitive scene. She may not be a top-tier talent yet, but she's earned respect for the grind"

[2.0] "Nothing special at all, her in ring, character and mic work were beyond poor. She was with the WWE for around 10 years and during that time she did nothing memorable and now she is with TNA she's one of the low points of TNA's recent revival which is a shame for the promotion."

[5.0] "She's nowhere near good enough to be a star in a major promotion, in fact I think the fact she lasted so long in the WWE is a big accomplishment in itself, she's reinvented herself on the independent scene & TNA, but realistically it's a very close copy of Timeless Toni Storm. I respect that she didn't give up and put herself to getting better and I think in all aspects of wrestling she has gotten better, but still not a very good level. I'd like her and Heather by Elegance to win the knockouts tag team titles but I think the world title is a step too far."

[7.0] "Her low rating is very disappointing. This year, since she left WWE, she has shown incredible potential that she had and was not able to show. Her character "Ash by Elegance" is incredible in terms of arrogance and glamour. She has given better level matches and has grown exponentially as a wrestler. She deserves my respect."

[3.0] "In modern Western women's wrestling, you often get a wrestler who is not great in ring but put her in with someone really top tier then you will get something good out of her. Ash By Elegance/Dana Brooke is not one of those wrestlers. Any straight up singles match she has can and will stink the joint out. I don't think she deserves a zero, she is perfectly decent at the character work even if it is usually a little trite. The problem is that no matter what she does in promos or segments you always have the nagging fear in the back of your mind that this might lead to you having to watch her wrestle. In a way it is remarkable to think you can train and be in a job for near a decade and never become even vaguely good at it."

[0.0] "She's probably the worst female wrestler who had ever perform in WWE. Bad personna, horrible acting, frustrating in the ring, lack of charisma and impact. Never knew why they kept her that long in the company. She never did progress in all these years, she was yelling when she was manager and never did a great job and she did botches at EACH match, even the less important. I even found her a pain during Dark Matches and a nuisance. Her team with Mandy Rose was the pinnacle of the worst we can do."

[1.0] "I really don't like her and her fans. When she was booed by the fans, she would go to twitter and express his displeasure, while this is wrestling and she should know these things. Also, her fans supported him even though she had no special talent..."

[4.0] "I don't know what happened with her. When she debuted in NXT against Asuka she seemed like she had some potential. Great look, decent on the mic, couple of nice moves. One would've thought that a few more years working with the likes of Asuka, Becky, Sasha, etc and we would've really had something with her but somewhere along the line WWE lost confidence in her and she just never seemed to improve. Maybe it's their fault for pulling her out of developmental so soon, maybe it's just not for her."

[6.0] "I like Ash by Elegance as a character and think she is better in ring than the IWC give her credit. Her match with Brookside on Impact was classic TV diva-style heel work and her basics are more than passable for TV. I think she gets a rough deal online, probably a lot due to her responding to criticism on Twitter quite a lot - but she's is definitely more than usable and has a great presence and look."

[2.0] "People can say she's athletic and a former bodybuilder, which is great and all... but it clearly isn't working for her in professional wrestling. She's just not good, she has 9 years of "experience" within the business but still doesn't understand basic fundamentals. I'm not hating on her as a person, because she does seem really nice and a lot of the pure hatred she gets from people online is pretty nuts. But if we're just talking about her as a professional wrestler, then yeah she's not good. WWE did at least try with her, but again she just doesn't really understand the business or just simply doesn't have what it takes to be a professional wrestler. Nothing wrong with that, a lot of us here don't have what it takes to be a professional wrestler neither, but this is 100% rating her as a wrestler in this business and she's just not good."

[7.0] "She has never been given the chance she deserves. There is so much we haven't seen from Ashley Sebera. Dana Brooke had all the potential in the world to go big time but nevermind that. Ash by Elegance is going to take TNA by storm and do big things! Hard to Kill was huge seeing her cross the line into the new era of TNA and I have no doubt that there will be big matches and much more to talk about when it comes to Ash by Elegance"

[7.0] "Dana isn't bad as people make her out to be, This girl can work in the ring and actually has pretty looking move set. The company's refusal to book her seriously is what generates this forced hate towards her."

[1.0] "She struggles at the basic fundamentals of wrestling and can't sell. However, her offence is not 100% awful so she gets a point but she has never been a good worker."

[0.0] "She is not for wrestling at all, She can't wrestle, fans do not communicate with her at all, She is extremely boring and that is not good for tv at all, I think these are all the reasons why I give this woman 0."

[0.0] "Probably the worst woman wrestler in WWE today. She is bad in everything, horrible in the ring, can't work a proper match with a storytelling. even worse at promos especially as a face. Doesn't get any reaction from the crowd."

[4.0] "I've seen worse than Dana Brooke on the Divas Era. At least she is athletic enough to put on a fast pace match, but not good enough to deliver a memorable performance. Yeah, she works hard, she has a great physique, but she is not that good of a worker, doesn't have a gimmick and is a charisma vacuum."

[5.0] "I only give this rating because WWE hasn't used her correctly. I remember her days as Ashley Sebera on the female bodybuilding circuit and remember being impressed by her physique. When WWE signed her, I was thrilled because I thought she could be the next Sable along with actually caring which was a quality the actual Sable seemed to lack. Sadly, ever since her debut, WWE has held back what she could actually do if used well. I keep hoping that those days are approaching. Until then, I put her right in the middle"

[2.0] "Dana Brooke is just not good in the ring or on the mic, and isn't charismatic at all. Like Alexa and Carmella, she was called up too early, but they are at least good on the mic."

[4.0] "Dana Brooks is alright in the ring and on the mic but does not compete with some of her peers in that respect. As a fan you want to get behind her because of her passion and work ethic and she has improved greatly. Good lower mid card woman but I doubt she ever is a true star in WWE."

[2.0] "I mean she is just bad on the ring and on the mic and has nothing to make her stand out. The defontion of the kind of worker that should not be on a nationl stage"

[8.0] "Dana deserves more than a 6 without a doubt. She is good, uses difficult moves and has improved enormously since 2018. He did an amazing job when he was tagged by Mandy Rose and unfortunately he was forgotten after that. I hope that now she can overcome herself more without that ridiculous title they just disabled."

[4.0] "I must say that I have nothing against her, but as a fighter I have never liked her. Although it is true, she could have a good way in the WWE but it is not that they have not put on their part."

[2.0] "The only thing about her that ever impressed me is how she managed to somehow avoid getting released."

[4.0] "I feel bad for Dana because she's someone who's put in a lot of work over the last 8 years to try to become a good wrestler, and she's clearly not someone who wusses out or is lazy with her training given her extensive match record. That said, I don't think she's ever been good and a lot of her best matches are her bumping and selling for more competent acts while she works as a basic cocky heel, which she does fine enough in. WWE have tried to give her some experience in that field but she's hit a wall in terms of progression and seems to be content being in the undercard, which suits her a lot better than trying to be more of a main eventish kind of deal. She's not....very good but manages to function as a decent undercard worker that can do short matches and whatnot. She's not good on the mic through by far. Not good, but I wouldn't say she was dreadful either."

[2.0] "She's athletic I will give her that. However, she's bland in her promos and on the mic, doesn't have much charisma, either as a face or a heel and isn't good in the ring. She's someone that should be learning in NXT and continuing building her character. WWE called her up too soon and then kept her there. She should have been sent down to work on things because as an athlete she's good. But nothing else is there. Her 24/7 program has been entertaining to some degree though so maybe a point for that but she's one of the weaker superstars on the WWE roster."

[2.0] "Lol. What else can I say. Just lol. She's a nonentity in WWE. She's bad in the ring and basically has no character. She's athletic but can't apply it to anything. She's another product of the Divas era."

[4.0] "She has a cool move or two that she uses regularly and maybe one or two cool moves she uses infrequently. Her character is so plain though."

[6.0] "Good in the ring and looks phenomenal these days but lacks a direction in character and can not cut a convincing babyface promo to save her life."

[2.0] "Dana could have turned out to become a decent wrestler, who could have been a solid hand in the midcard. However, in her 5+ years on the roster, she has barely improved in ring, isnt a good promo and her character is dead. Now she's just a jobber and will almost certainly never get out of that hole."

[6.0] "I am a huge advocate for Dana Brooke, but I can still admit she isn't the best. She's very athletic, but that's all she really has. She isn't bad at anything, but she doesn't stand out either. Contrary to popular belief, she has improved over her career. Her movements are more crisp and her selling has improved. Overall though, she's decent at everything but doesn't stand out at all. I would have loved to see her reunite with Charlotte, but that ship seems to have sailed."

[4.0] "I think if Dana got the chance to show it my opinion of her could improve but she never got a substantial enough push for me to judge. With what she gave us, she is certainly athletic and her Titus Worldwide run was perhaps the most fun and notable thing she did along with her alliance with Emma on NXT. She's also not shy about taking huge bumps, which I appreciate and could honestly be a good selling point for her. However, her athleticism is yet to result in any notable good matches. I'd say she's a tag team division main stay if she (and the titles) remain in WWE for a lot longer, and perhaps there she can find a bit of success, but as a singles competitor I don't see her doing much."

[4.0] "She is not bad, but she is just boring. I don't remeber any particularly good match she was a part of."

[4.0] "I think she was at her best when she was more Emma's manager in NXT. Other than that really bland and nothing special."

[3.0] "Dana Brooke has a great personality and a lot of charisma, as well as being a pretty good talker, but she's pretty awful in the ring, and hasn't really improved at all since she has been on the main roster. I have been most entertained by her when she was paired with Emma on NXT and when she was with Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neil in Titus Worldwide. She showed a lot of character during those times. I know she added a Batista Bomb and Swanton Bomb to her moveset, but she still loves around like she's just learning how to wrestle, and that mini push she had at the early part of the year a little after Covid hit didn't make sense."

[6.0] "Dana Brooke has improved a lot since she first joined the main roster. Though she is still figuring out who she is as a wrestler, her move set and mic skills have evolved. Especially loved her role in 2020's MitB match."

[6.0] "She was very good in the role as the protege of Emma (Tenille Dashwood) in EnD. You could feel their chemistry and Dana improved a lot with the help of Emma. When they broke EnD up and made Dana the protege of Charlotte, it didn't work as well and Dana had some weak showings. Since then Dana's usually (or not usually used) on the under-midcard. She's charismatic, in-ring okay nowadays."

[4.0] "Currently, word going around is that Dana is putting in a tremendous amount of work. She spends most of her off time at the Performance Center and is really working to get noticed. I certainly respect that. But even that considered, she's low on the totem pole currently. Never seemed to flow well between the ropes & her character just feels like "random girl #12". I think she could have used a few more years in developmental & in NXT."

[6.0] "As of today, Dana Brooke is 31 years old, which is the age that most wrestlers start to realize their potential through their work inside and outside of the ring. To her credit, Brooke is a fantastic athlete, has a great look, and is a great seller for her opponents in the ring. But, she has yet to break that glass ceiling in the Women's Division because she still lacks experience and needs more seasoning. However, for the last three years, she has been paying her dues by training regularly at the Performance Center, showing up early, setting up the ring, and working on her craft in the ring. I am rooting for Dana's efforts to pay off at Money In The Bank so she can hopefully show off her improvement."

[6.0] "Although Dana could use a lot of work, I think a lot of her flaws could be concealed by using a more power based moveset, or going back to train at the PC for another six months. She has a good look, sells well and at this point has more marketability than a lot of her contemporaries."

[5.0] "Dana has improved a lot over the past year. Her in-ring work is still not quite up to par but she definitely has athletic ability so it looks like she might get somewhere soon."
