If this is all Roucka has to offer after two-and-a-half years then it's no wonder so many women have been called up ahead of her

Wow Roucka became generic. In OVW she had developed a nice character with Mike Kruel

Those commentators sounded bored out of their skulls.

This match made three minutes seem like an eternity.
Why the hell did I keep hearing that Roucka was a good wrestler?

Who said she's a good wrestler?
She's hot and all, but no. She's valet material all the way.

Leg drop finisher, hmm, not even a good one at that (check out Lexie Fyfe's for a girl who does it like a pro. Roucka also seems to mimic Candice Michelle as a heel a lot, which can't be good. They've made her pretty generic.
As for Wesley Holiday, she just seems like someone fresh out of wrestling school doing her first couple of indy shows, which she pretty much is at FCW. At least she seems to have some kind of gimmick. So I wouldn't be too harsh on her.

Eh no worse than Layla.
Thank god WWE doesn't book women based on talent but T&A.
Roucka should do fine. Maybe when they bring her up they'll elevate Jillian to actually win singles matches.

So THAT'S where Josh Matthews is at.
He REALLY needs a spot on TV. His voice works, he's knowledgeable, and he can tell a great story.

I kept hearing all over the place - even the Shimmer forums that normally hate the divas - that Roucka could actually wrestle. I would agree that she's valet material. I wish the WWE would get that. There was nothing wrong with using women like Sunny, Sable and Marlena in the way they initially did. They advanced in story lines, helped get the male wrestlers over with the fans, interfered in the matches with the odd brick-in-the-purse shot, and were pretty damn great at it. |

Except for the last ten years, every new wrestler that comes in with a valet fails to get over, sinks to the bottom of the lineup and is then quietly released. While the women, to varying degrees, have all the success. Current example of this are the Burchills. Granted, Katie Lea's spot ain't all that great right now, but at least she's getting booked on a regular basis |
