If anything, she was pushed too hard, going from doing nothing of note to owning the top heel multiple times and taking the Divas title in the span of 6 weeks.They tried to push Eve pretty damn hard as the face of the divison; for whatever reason most of the crowd just doesn't care one way or another for her.
That's precisely the problem; does no one see how this kind of booking would leave someone in the cold? Imagine if they took Jack Swagger from catering and being on the losing end of squash matches and put him in the WWE Title picture- no transition, no build, no reason to care whatsoever. How many of you here would support him? How much of the audience would you expect to care one way or the other?
Kelly gets more of a reaction because she's actually been allowed to connect with the audience. Eve hasn't just been yo-yo pushed- her push has been like the frickin' Demon Drop. She does nothing, nothing at all, they turn around and put her at the top of the card and they (and people here) wonder why she can't get any heat. There's no way for you to even hope to succeed when misManagement constantly does chub all with you, then throws you into a feud, then sends you back to catering when *gasp* you can't get over. Outside of commercials and meet and greets, I can only think of some three times I've heard her voice, and only two of those could be halfway considered promos: She cuts one on the Miz, which as bad as it was, wasn't the worst a Diva could have done, and when she got pissed after losing her title over the backbiting in the division, something that looked like it was leading to an actual storyline in the forgotten "point and smile" division, but, no surprise, it was dropped for no reason. The third, of course, was to introduce the dance number. Yippee.
This is all of the mic time she's had as far as I can remember; a one-off promo, dialogue for an angle that didn't even get a week, and a dance number. This, during some three years of doing nothing, until they decide, for spits and giggles, to shoehorn her in the main event so they can laugh as she crashes and burns. Is there seriously any question as to why she can't get over? Seriously?
