RESPECT VALUE

RESPECT VALUE

This is a very malleable and somewhat ambiguous term.  Basically it is an unofficial and completely unquantifiable measurement of how much a fighter is liked and/or respected.  Boiled down to its most basic essence, it has mostly to do with how much equipment a fighter wears while fighting, but is also affected by other factors.  Panty girls get the most basic respect, as they are fighting with no additional protection.  A panty girl could have a certain amount of respect even if she loses most of her fights, especially if she is willing to fight other girls who are not jobbers, or wear more equipment.  (Jeannie, Alyssa, and Clarice for instance get a certain amount of props from fight fans for being panty girls who will pretty much fight anyone, regardless of how tough they are or how much equipment they wear.)   Some fighters who do wear equipment may still get a lot of respect if they are in fact good fighters and rack up a lot of wins (particularly violent ones)
