Scarlett Bordeaux's list of favourite wrestlers just shows how much of a student of wrestling she is.

Citing Lita as one of your favourite wrestlers may be obvious for most female wrestlers - and there's no shade thrown on Lita with that comment, the Hall of Famer was simply that groundbreaking and influential that her contribution to wrestling cannot be overstated no matter how much she's mentioned. Lita was a true pioneer of women's wrestling.

The other names on the list, though, aren't quite the ones you hear rhymed off by most other wrestlers or aspiring wrestlers.

The former Ring of Honor star clearly knows her stuff and her list of influences only confirms that she's more than just the "Smoke Show" - Bordeaux is a complete student of the game.

The Chicago-born star cites influences from Bull Nakano, Hamada, and the very well respected Gail Kim - as well as the hard-hitting Awesome Kong and WWE's Maryse. The comparisons with the latter in terms of character are very clear for all to see - but perhaps only once you hear both names said in the same sentence!
