Top 20 Female/Joshi Wrestlers of 2021 (Part 4)

Description: We're a long way away from the "Women's Revolution" and in some ways the treatment of female wrestling talent in the West has reverted back to the "Diva Era". In contrast, Joshi Wrestling at companies like STARDOM, has not only been able to stay afloat but grow during the pandemic. Not to be outdone though; the women's divisions of WWE, AEW, Impact & ROH still put up and good fight and overall made it a competitive year for women in Pro Wrestling. 18. Jade Cargill-Jade hasn't done a lot since coming in to AEW. Outside of the tag team match with Shaq against Cody & Brandi Rhodes, you'd be hard pressed to really remember anything she's done previous to last Summer. She had a short feud with Red Velvet and Leyla Hirsch, but her biggest wins came in the tournament for the TBS Championship, scoring victories on Thunder Rosa & Ruby Soho. AEW seems to have a lot of faith in Cargill and if you've ever seen her, you know she has some attributes that are very attractive in the Pro Wrestling business. She's tall, she's muscular, she's strong as hell, she's gorgeous, she's sexy, she can cut a promo and she just exudes confidence and charisma. Since she’s won the title, she’s been kind of running through the bottom of the division but only time will tell what the ultimate goal for this reign is.

17. Hikaru Shida-While Shida hasn’t won any titles last year, she did make history by getting her 50th win and being the fastest woman to that many victories in AEW. She was disappointed in her championship reign, feeling that she could have done more but even after it ended, she stayed in the mix. Riho was their first Joshi champion and the first champion of the women's division overall, but you can tell AEW really wants Shida to be their first success from Japan. Riho is kind of a part-timer, but Shida moved to the United States, and you can see in how they use her in their marketing and their promotional material that they put a lot of stock into her progress.

16. Nikki A.S.H.-Nikki Cross' transition into Nikki A.S.H. was kind of disaster but if it's not a lie and Nicola Glencross herself came up with the idea than I have to give her kudos for that. Although it didn't work, Vince McMahon rarely listens to pitches for other people's ideas but the fact he not only allowed her to give him an idea, but it led to her winning Money in the Bank, her first Championship and then the tag titles with Rhea is nothing short of amazing.

15. Raquel González/Rodriguez-Raquel was transitioned to the top of the women's division in NXT fairly slowly and I think that's because originally, she just wasn't polished, she wasn't as good when she was first signed. When I saw her in the Mae Young Classic for the first time, she looked kind of clumsy and uncomfortable working with smaller girls at her size. Being from Texas she also had a generic cowgirl gimmick too, which probably wasn't going to work in the long run. Over time she became a spoiler, a destroyer; she was walking through her competition, and the NXT fanbase became drawn to her. The “take no prisoner's” attitude, the muscular build, her stiff and brutal work style became something to look forward to.

On April 7th, 2021 at Stand & Deliver, she would defeat Io Shirai to win her first championship in the company, in one of her best matches since she debuted. Her title reign started off great; scoring victories over women like Ember Moon and her former bestie, Dakota Kai, but this was during the time where NXT began to shift into NXT 2.0 and at Halloween Havoc, she would drop the belt to Mandy Rose.

14. Io Shirai-The former "Ace of Stardom" didn't have as smooth of a run in NXT as her former stablemate in Triple Tails, Kana (Asuka in WWE)...or her one-time rival, Kairi Hojo (Kairi Sane in WWE). Between the dominance of Shayna Baszler over the NXT Women's Championship and then the return of Charlotte Flair to the brand, she was kind of being utilized below her talent level and her status as someone you could really build a division around. Although she defeated Charlotte and became the champion and she had the biggest match of her career against Sasha Banks @ The Great American Bash in 2020, it seemed like they didn't realize how valuable she was until it was too late.

In 2021, she defeated the likes of Toni Storm, Mercedes Martinez, Rhea Ripley & Candice LaRae in retention of her title; some of the best female wrestlers in the world, but after losing her championship to Raquel Gonzalez her last "hurrah" as a member of NXT's roster would come in the form of her tag title win with Zoey Stark.

If her career in WWE never goes any further, she still accomplished a lot. Even though she wasn't treated like the asset she is, and the company still hasn't figured out how to present Joshi talent, if she has to return home to Japan..she will do it with some decoration and some new accolades to her name.

13. Becky Lynch-Although she was the WWE Raw Women's Champion in 2021, Becky isn't closer to the top of this list because she wasn't available for most of the year, she was raising her newborn baby girl, Roux. While she was at home working on motherhood, she still remained one of the most over people in the company and a thorn in the side of Charlotte Flair. As Charlotte took her place at the head of Raw's women's division and tried to actually put their young prospects from NXT over for a change, her feuds fell flat and failed put any momentum behind those women. The more and more it looked like we could have Becky back; at any moment, Charlotte's matches began getting drowned out by the background noise of "We want Becky" chants. At Summerslam 2021, Becky finally showed her face. Bianca Belair's opponent, Sasha Banks was unavailable, so Becky took her place in the Smackdown Women's Title match, that she won in a squash after sucker punching the unprepared Belair.

The then SmackDown Women's Champion traded titles with the then Raw Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair after she was drafted to Raw with SmackDown's title still around her waist. The two would clash at Survivor Series that year in a match that Becky won, and she continues her dominance to this day. "Big Time Becks" as she's now called hasn't had any major rivalries yet, but I think the Royal Rumble will be the gateway to some big matches.

Server Side Swift with Vapor: Full Book Now Available!

Great news everyone: Our complete Server Side Swift with Vapor book is now available!

And best yet, you can still grab it at the special release price — for a limited time.

If you’re a beginner to web development, but have worked with Swift for some time, you’ll find it’s easy to create robust, fully featured web apps and web APIs with Vapor 3, and this book will teach you how to do it.

This release adds the last four chapters to round out the book:

Chapter 22: Google Authentication

Chapter 23: Database/API Versioning & Migration

Chapter 25: Middleware

Chapter 26: Deploying with Heroku

What’s Inside Server Side Swift with Vapor?

Here’s the full set of chapters you’ll get in this edition of the book:

Chapter 1: Introduction: Get a quick overview of the history of the Vapor project and how the book is structured.

Chapter 2: Hello Vapor: Beginning a project using a new technology can be daunting. Vapor makes it easy to get started. It even provides handy scripts to make sure that your computer is configured correctly. In this chapter, you’ll start by installing the Vapor Toolbox, then use it to build and run your first project. You’ll finish by learning about routing, accepting data and returning JSON.

Get started with Vapor — no previous web development experience required!

Chapter 3: HTTP Basics: Before you begin your journey with Vapor, you’ll first review the fundamentals of how the web and HTTP operate, including its methods and most common response codes. You’ll also learn how Vapor differs from other Swift frameworks, its benefits, and how it can augment your web development experience.

Chapter 4: Async: In this chapter, you’ll learn about asynchronous and non-blocking architectures. You’ll cover Vapor’s approach to these architectures and how to use them. Finally, the chapter will provide a foundational overview of SwiftNIO, a core technology used by Vapor.

Chapter 5: Fluent and Persisting Models: In Chapter 2, “Hello, Vapor!”, you learned the basics of creating a Vapor app, including how to create routes. Chapter 5 explains how to use Fluent to save data in Vapor apps. You’ll also learn how to deploy your app using Vapor Cloud.

Learn how to deploy your projects up to Vapor Cloud!

Chapter 6: Configuring a Database: Databases allow you to persist data in your apps. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to configure your Vapor app to integrate with the database of your choice. Finally, you’ll deploy your app to Vapor Cloud and learn how to set up the database there.

Chapter 7: CRUD Database Operations: Chapter 5, “Fluent and Persisting Models”, explained the concept of models and how to store them in a database using Fluent. Chapter 7 concentrates on how to interact with models in the database. You’ll learn about CRUD operations and how they relate to REST APIs. You’ll also see how to leverage Fluent to perform complex queries on your models. Finally, like all chapters in this section, you’ll deploy your code to Vapor Cloud.

Chapter 8: Controllers: In previous chapters, you wrote all the route handlers in one file. This isn’t sustainable for large projects as the file quickly becomes too big and cluttered. This chapter introduces the concept of controllers to help manage your routes and models, using both basic controllers and RESTful controllers. Finally, you’ll deploy your code to Vapor Cloud.

Chapter 9: Parent Child Relationships: Chapter 5, “Fluent and Persisting Models”, introduced the concept of models. This chapter will show you how to set up a parent child relationship between two models. You’ll learn the purpose of these relationships, how to model them in Vapor and how to use them with routes. You’ll complete the tutorial by deploying your code to Vapor Cloud.

Easily send test requests and try out your Vapor projects with RESTed!

Chapter 10: Sibling Relationships: In Chapter 9, “Parent Child Relationships”, you learned how to use Fluent to build parent child relationships between models. Chapter 10 will show you how to implement the other type of relationship: sibling relationships. You’ll learn how to model them in Vapor and how to use them in routes. Finally, you’ll deploy your code to Vapor Cloud.

Chapter 11: Testing: In this chapter, you’ll learn how to write tests for your Vapor applications. You’ll learn why testing is important and how it works with Swift Package Manager. Then, you’ll learn how to write tests for the TIL application from the previous chapters. Finally, you’ll see why testing matters on Linux and how to test your code on Linux using Docker.

Chapter 12: Creating a Simple iPhone App I: In the previous chapters, you created an API and interacted with it using RESTed. However, users expect something a bit nicer to use TIL! The next two chapters show you how to build a simple iOS app that interacts with the API. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to create different models and get models from the database.

Build a simple iPhone app to interact with your Vapor backend!

Chapter 13: Creating a Simple iPhone App II: In this chapter, you’ll expand the app to include viewing details about a single acronym. You’ll also learn how to perform the final CRUD operations: edit and delete. Finally, you’ll learn how to add acronyms to categories.

Chapter 14: Templating with Leaf: In a previous section of the book, you learned how to create an API using Vapor and Fluent. This section explains how to use Leaf to create dynamic websites in Vapor applications. Just like the previous section, you’ll deploy the website to Vapor Cloud.

Chapter 15: Beautifying Pages: In this chapter, you’ll learn how to use the Bootstrap framework to add styling to your pages. You’ll also learn how to embed templates so you only have to make changes in one place. Next, you’ll also see how to serve files with Vapor. Finally, like every chapter in this section, you’ll deploy the new website to Vapor Cloud.

Learn how to style your pages with the Bootstrap framework!

Chapter 16: Making a Simple Web App I: In the previous chapters, you learned how to display data in a website and how to make the pages look nice with Bootstrap. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to create different models and how to edit acronyms.

Chapter 17: Making a Simple Web App II: In this chapter, you’ll learn how to allow users to add categories to acronyms in a user-friendly way. Finally, you’ll deploy your completed web application to Vapor Cloud.

Chapter 18: API Authentication, Part I: In this chapter, you’ll learn how to protect your API with authentication. You’ll learn how to implement both HTTP basic authentication and token authentication in your API.

Chapter 19: API Authentication, Part II: Once you’ve implemented API authentication, neither your tests nor the iOS application work any longer. In this chapter, you’ll learn the techniques needed to account for the new authentication requirements, and you’ll also deploy the new code to Vapor Cloud.

Chapter 20: Cookies and Sessions: In this chapter, you’ll see how to implement authentication for the TIL website. You’ll see how authentication works on the web and how Vapor’s Authentication module provides all the necessary support. You’ll then see how to protect different routes on the website. Next, you’ll learn how to use cookies and sessions to your advantage. Finally, you’ll deploy your code to Vapor Cloud.

Chapter 21: Validation: In this chapter, you’ll learn how to use Vapor’s Validation library to verify some of the information users send the application. You’ll create a registration page on the website for users to sign up. You’ll validate the data from this form and display an error message if the data isn’t correct. Finally, you’ll deploy the code to Vapor Cloud.

Learn how to use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate your users!

Chapter 22: Google Authentication: Sometimes users don’t want to create extra accounts for an application and would prefer to use their existing accounts. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to use OAuth 2.0 to delegate authentication to Google, so users can log in with their Google accounts instead.

Chapter 23: Database/API Versioning & Migration: Once you’re in production, you can’t just delete your database and start over. Instead, you can use Vapor’s Migration protocol to cautiously introduce your modifications while still having a revert option should things not go as expected.

Chapter 24: Caching: Whether you’re creating a JSON API, building an iOS app, or even designing the circuitry of a CPU, you’ll eventually need a cache. In this chapter, you’ll learn the philosophy behind and uses of caching to make your app feel snappier and more responsive.

Learn how to create middleware for Vapor to view and modify requests!

Chapter 25: Middleware: In the course of building your application, you’ll often find it necessary to integrate your own steps into the request pipeline, via middleware. This allows you to do things like log incoming requests, catch errors and display messages, rate-limit traffic to particular routes and more.

Chapter 26: Deploying with Heroku: Heroku is a popular hosting solution that simplifies deployment of web and cloud applications. It supports a number of popular languages and database options. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to deploy a Vapor web app with a Postgres database on Heroku.

Chapter 27: WebSockets: WebSockets, like HTTP, define a protocol used for communication between two devices. Unlike HTTP, the WebSocket protocol is designed for realtime communication. Vapor provides a succinct API to create a WebSocket server or client. In this chapter, you’ll build a simple server/client application that allows users to share their current location with others, who can then view this on a map in realtime.

Best online storage providers - part 3

13. Norton

Norton is a big name in online security thanks to their antivirus and other products, and they’ve branched out into cloud storage too. There’s no free storage and no free trial period, but for $4.17 a month ($49.99 a year) you get 25GB and you can use it with up to 5 machines, Windows or Mac.

With their security background it won’t come as a surprise that they offer strong encryption. Important files are backed up automatically, and you can easily add more storage as you need it. It’s also straightforward to transfer files between computers, and retrieve backed up files from any machine via a secure, password-protected web page. Previous backups are held for 90 days, so if you need to revert to an older version in that time, they’re available. Files are automatically compressed at backup to save space.

14. SafeCopy

SafeCopy offers a lot of storage at a reasonable price. You get 3GB for free, after which it’s $4.17 a month ($50 a year) for up to 200GB. There’s a 30-day free trial, and you can use it from an unlimited number of machines (Windows and Mac). Files are protected with 448-military grade encryption, and most of the heavy lifting is done by SafeCopy’s own servers, so the CPU overhead is low. There’s unlimited versioning, you can backup multiple folders (unlike Dropbox, for example) and you can restore files from anywhere. If you delete a file on your computer, it remains on SafeCopy, unless you manually delete it too – so it’s a great way to avoid mistakes. It’s also easy to share files with friends and family. SafeCopy comes with support for 15 languages.

15. Livedrive

Livedrive provide unlimited storage for $8 a month or $48 a year. There’s a 14-day free trial, but no free storage allowance, and you can use it on only one machine. Windows and Mac are supported.

Livedrive is one of the fastest-growing cloud storage services. Their Briefcase option is a step up from the basic backup; it’s easy to set up and there are apps to enable you to see your files on any iOS, Android or Windows 8 device. You can sync files across different computers so you can work on them seamlessly from device to device, sharing documents and accessing them from the web. Space is generous, with a 2TB allocation as standard. Pro Suite gives you further functionality and an impressive 5TB of space.

Livedrive is also aimed at resellers who provide backup, cloud storage and sync products to their customers. There’s a flat fee per month for this, with no per-customer billing.

16. OpenDrive

OpenDrive offer unlimited space on unlimited machines from $9.95 per month or $99 per year, supporting Windows or Mac systems. You get 5GB of free storage. As well as desktop versions, there’s an Android app you can download to back up and share files quickly and easily from a tablet.

There’s round-the-clock live support for business users, and plenty of tools to make sharing files with other people easy. You can manage space and bandwidth, as well as the number of users, changing them whenever you need to. Files and folders of any size can be shared, and media files played directly from the cloud.

‘Hotlinking’ enables you to link to cloud-based files in emails and documents, and it’s easy to add people to shared folders. This does, of course, come at the expense of some data security.

17. altdrive

Altdrive offers no free storage and you can only use it on one machine, but there is a 30-day trial and it works with Mac, Windows and Linux (as well as the Solaris operating system). You can buy unlimited storage for $4.45 per month, or $44.50 a year.

Altdrive supports very large files – up to 4GB – making it an option for businesses that routinely deal with such documents. There’s a strong emphasis on security, which is one of the reasons it does not offer syncing or sharing of files (which are offered by platforms like Dropbox); they state that ‘we cannot recommend them for sensitive files because they have ongoing unresolved security issues.’

There’s somewhat of an emphasis on tech-savvy users, and they offer some services that others don’t – such as geolocating of stolen machines. File versioning is supported, and you can backup on demand or to a schedule.

18. Zoolz

Zoolz are a slightly more restrictive and expensive option than most of the other top solutions on the market. There is no free storage, you can use only one machine, and it’s Windows only. It’s $14.17 per month or $169.99 per year for unlimited GB.

Zoolz specialise in long-term storage, stating that they will keep your data in the cloud for a lifetime – and that other companies do not have this long-term outlook. Before documents are sent to their servers they are encrypted with 256-bit military-grade AES encryption. There are plenty of features such as scheduling and setting upload speed limits, and there’s a hybrid option if you want a second backup on a local server.

Although you can restore individual files or everything, should you need to, the process incurs a delay of 3-5 hours – something Zoolz state is to do with their long-term approach, without explaining why. This, along with the higher-than-usual cost, may put off some prospective customers.

19. ADrive

ADrive is a pretty flexible option, supporting Windows, Mac and Linux systems. You can use unlimited machines, and there’s a 50GB free starter option. After that, prices start at $6.95 per month or $69.95 a year.

You can access files from anywhere, and share or edit them online. There are good search tools, and folder upload for simplicity. Premium and business packages offer online collaboration, file history recovery, public file expiration and SSL encryption. However, premium/business packages also offer ‘No 3rd Party Advertisements’, which suggests the basic package will include ads – not something many people will want to sign up for. You can access your files from anywhere with an internet connection, though, and there are also Android and iOS apps to download, as well as desktop software.
