Please go and watch her last match against Natalya on Superstars, it wasnt a classic or anyting like that mind you but she is getting very good and not only as a character but also in the ring too, she is no longer a woman who can only slap or kick. She put a very good match and the way she played the crowd was excellent, a really good heel IMO.
I don't know why people want Summer's push. She is horrible wrestler (all her matches are just ok, even on NXT. If you believe that she is good put here her good matches. The best is with Kaitlyn). She has no charisma (The crowd is always dead for her). She is terrible manager (She managed a lot of guys and everyone flopped). She has no mic skills (Well, look her promos, no one gives a fuck about her).
The one thing about Summer Rae, is I will never forgive WWE for force pairing her with Fandango to replace his original valet. I think this devalued his character big time. I took the gimmick more seriously when he was paired with an unknown, who you know, could actually Dance? Plus she was hot as hell.
Yeh Summer Rae has always been good, she's just been criminally underused, a bit like Emma on the main roster. If they split the women with the brand split, there would probably be a fair few talented women on each side. Think RAW: Charlotte, Sasha, Dana, Nattie, SMACKDOWN: Becky, Paige, Emma, Summer Rae. Then you still have Naomi, Alicia and Nikki to place too.
Summer has always been a solid wrestler, she just has little to no chance to develop her character and has been consistently used as a valet, which she is pretty good at as she's a good talker, but she's rarely ever been given a chance to shine since NXT.
I think the problem with summer right now is that there is simply a lot of ring rust.
Its been years since she was used in any meaningful way in the ring, last time was mainly in NXT.
Survivor Series 2014 was a very low point in Sumemr Rae's career, it was genuinelly one of the the worst performances I've seen from any woman in the amount of years I've watched wrestling (now taken by Shelley Martinez)
Good to see she used that as motivation. She has to convince upper brass now.
Was a fan of her ever since seeing her small feud with Paige on NXT. She has alot to offer and hopefully if brand split spawns another title her opportunities grow. She deserves something by now.
I feel bad for Summer Rae. If she isn't so much a fan of the wrestling business then she would have just left after being given meaningless roles for 3 years on the main roster. Nowadays no one can take her character seriously anymore, and she's constantly on people's list of most possible releases. Though I would argue that she doesn't really have the "it" factor to really come to her own and succeed(as someone had said she's like a poorman's version of Stacy Keibler), she definitely could have been up to a more prominent role.
Summer has always been underused since being on the MR, the worst part is any role she was given whether it was as a valet/dancer/manager it literally showcased her lesser skills (especially that screeching) meanwhile all her in-ring abilities were neglected. Am happy to see her appearing more consistently on Superstar or Main Event with the occasional Raw/SD appearance just hope they stop with the dumb valet roles and keep her as a wrestler.
I've said all this before so i'll just hit the sparknotes.
Summer has always been decent if not pretty great as a whole.
She was basically "The Boss" before Sasha. She had the pretty much the same gimmick just less urban.
She literally and figuratively passed the boss torch on to Sasha in a storyline, back when ppl were calling Sasha boring and and saying she had no charisma or personality.
Summer has ALWAYS been good in ring and one of the best "characters" on the roster. She's ALWAYS on.
Diddnt' she job to Paige on Main Event? Yeah she going great man! :lol. Whether or not Summer Rae started the boss gimmick man. That's original thing. No one can go ok im the boss in this situation? Oh I see Summer originated being the boss? lol. Summer botch Rae? I guess if Paige diddn't debut in 2013 on the main roster. You woulden't be hearing about Sasha "The Boss" Banks, or Summer "The Boss" Rae. Becky, Emma e.t.c. Probably be in the FCW, NXT, or some small indy terriotory. True fact. But of course Paige gets shit on no matter what, imo she deserves way more recognition. But you know smarks well do what smarks are gonna do.
I hope this time she would be used better.(Y)
With her great agile legs is a sin that she don't have a superkick(which half of the roster has, but Summer deserves it more), and a leggy submission move in her moveset...
And with her witch face and smile she should be a main heel.
Summer Rae is decent in ring, but not in the top 5 in this division.
She is one of these girls who eat a pin once in a while on the main show (not squash she can show her skills).
Nothing wrong with that.
