she just needs to listen more to what Daniel Bryan is telling her to do and not what the fans want and she'll be a champ some day!

I think other than Natalya and Beth, she's the best in-ring diva on the roster. And she also sells better than anyone.

Anyone who says AJ can't wrestle just needs to watch any of his matches with Joe and Daniels.

She's passable at best and bad at worst.

It's not that I think AJ can't wrestle.
I wouldn't simplify it that way. I also think that aj cant talk,has no charisma and is the face of the most obnoxious cynical pandering since that whole wrestling matters campaign last year.
If I wanted to watch underfed people grapple and look like theyre going to break a bone while doing it,I'd open a wrestling company in darfur.

He is (He is) kind of sensitive.

Just watched the AJ/Naomi match based on the thread, and it was pretty good. But then again, I can't really judge it based on recent matches, as hardly any Divas match nowadays gets that kind of time for a match. Based on what I've seen, AJ is decent, and can put on an alright match. She is a great seller though. Kind of like Bourne or Ziggler in that department.

There will always be someone on the internet that thinks a certain wrestler isn't good.
AJ is good in my eyes. Her match with Naomi is one of the best divas matches of the past 10 years. I have noticed the rope thing before but I thinks it's because she's so small she finds it hard to bounce off the ropes, but what I appreciate is that she tries to keep up the illusion.
I can't judge the comments of the guy from LAW because I haven't heard them, but I have noticed in the past people assume things that they've read are true and don't pay much attention to the actual matches themselves. Like, they'll read AJ is bad so they'll already be ready to say "Oh she's bad" before watching her match. The amount of times I've noticed that in podcasts is just hilarious, part of the reason I can't stand listening to them.

Get off of that pandering shit! I HATE when people say that like it's an absolute fact. Anybody that follows her knows she's not pandering and is actually like how she's presented.

Get off of that pandering s***! I HATE when people say that like it's an absolute fact. Anybody that follows her knows she's not pandering and is actually like how she's presented. But couldn't how she presents herself on her WWE twitter be a part of how she's been marketed as a nerdy guys wet dream? Like if twitter was happening back in Ashley Massaro's day it's possible she'd be gushing over The Ramones to show her true punk cred.

The people who say she's pandering isn't saying she's "fake", but rather she is taking something and greatly exaggerating it specifically to get over with the audience that she's marketed towards. To me, she's clearly pandering when you see her in photos with comics or a DS or something connected to geekdom just to get the desired reaction. That's not to say that she doesn't read comics or plays DS, but she is clearly and blatantly using it to get a reaction.

Agreed with the pandering explanation. Pandering ain't necessarily a bad thing, ESPECIALLY if you are legitimately like that persona. Milk it for all it's worth.

I've only seen two matches of hers. One with Naomi which was one of the best matches that year, and one with Brie Bella which was awkward and pretty much terrible.
So I don't really know what to think of AJ. Was it ring rust or was Naomi carrying her completely? Didn't seem like it in their match though, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Then I guess they have a problem with Daniel Bryan pandering to vegans, Rosa Mendes pandering to Hispanics, or Undertaker pandering to goths. Probably have a problem with Cody Rhodes too, as he's deep in nerd culture and has shown it.
