Now I don't want to absolve her of phoning it in because performers should constantly give their 200% for when employed by a company but man.... IDK sometimes I wonder if AJ has been phoning it in lately, not just because of the whole thing with Punk, but because of the fact that the women that could have been interesting opponents for her were killed before they even started.
Ever thought it was a possibility? Especially after her Slammys Promo where she pretty much gave a not so subtle dig towards the divas she's been stuck with.
Paige: Forced to play a character she wasn't used to playing, was hardly ever allowed to talk during her title reign, and stuck with opponents like Cameron, Aksana etc.
Someone apparently thought that a girl that carries herself like a badass, has a dark alternative look, and wrestles/moves like a heel should be playing A shy, smiley, buttkissing girl(A role that would fit Bayley moreso) then yet her "heel" but making her a multi personality having Nickolodeon lesbian with cowardly tendencies. Puhleeze
That HAD to have been done on purpose due to Dunn burying her in meetings to Vince. Now she's relegated to Superstars when the women that can't wrestle for sh!!t are on TV weekly. Same with the others mentioned here in this post
Emma: A girl that got over playing a quirky and fun loving girl that can be serious when she had to be. What happens on the main roster? She gets pigeonheld into being a Santino clone that hardly talks and barely wrestles then she's killed quickly when Vince and Dunn get bored.
Summer Rae: A girl that was good at playing a Stuck up Alpha bitch that used real heel tactics against her opponents in matches and carried herself like she didn't give a damn what anyone thought. She was like Regina George mixed with Hilary Banks. She first becomes Fandumbo's arm candy then turns into a face for like a cup of coffee and then goes back heel. Now I'll admit, her ring skills aren't her main strengths, it's her talking ability yet she's been booked into directionless oblivion.
Natalya: Been forced to be everything but herself and when she find something that works the rug gets pulled from Underneath her and she's booked into oblivion again.
What's also sad is that when someone like AJ gets to finally work with these girls, the feuds are creatively stifled and the matches are micromanaged. Paige/AJ, Paige/Natalya etc can go on house shows and kill it every time whether it's regular or 2/3 Falls matches if you believe the correspondents yet they can't quite get it together on shows like Raw or even the PPVs.
Seriously someone needs to tell Vince that female centric entertainment doesn't begin and end with f-cking BayWatch(which is still more entertaining than they're divas division) and in 2014, people like seeing women be strong, courageous and/or badass.
Gonna have a female-centric spinoff show, ok fine but push the ones on the show with real talent AND make the show less Daytime TV-esque. Ultimate Fighter's recent season focused on the women and even when the women were being catty, it made viewers want to take them seriously.
If I was AJ and saw this tomfoolery happening constantly then I wouldn't want to be around either, even if I was champ and the top draw. Especially If it's all done because two senile, out-of-touch, discriminatory, creatively bankrupt ass holes are behind it all just to accommodate their preferences for the two cover girl wannabes that can't talk or work to save their frickin lives.
