The question I have been asking myself over the past few months still stands - what on earth entitles her to be pushed to this extent? I don't like the fact she seems to have had the break that others have worked hard for in the past few years through their hard work (Beth, Natalya etc), when she's only been with the company (on the main roster) for less than a year. I don't like her character, and I don't like this ridiculous superiority complex she has now. Sorry, I watched a couple of segments and just found her unbearable, so I fast forwarded them. Contrast her with the character played by Stephanie McMahon, and you will see a huge difference. Well she worked hard enough to get the attention of Cena and Punk who chose to work with her off camera (and on in Punk's case) which it seems none of the other diva have done and if your two biggest stars want to work with her she might be worth investing in. Seems to me then it's more like it's not what you know, it's who you know.

I thought she was dull and inoffensive. For a pretty bland character who doesn't bring much to the table I think she was used pretty well.

However even if she didn't know squat and was only there because of who liked her backstage, how is that different than any other company at any time in wrestling's existence?

I wasn't paying all that close of attention but why was she normal? Just bizarre to me, after all of the crazy shenanigans.

Maybe she was never crazy, just manipulative.

Maybe she was never crazy, just manipulative. They should at least point that out though. Hopefully they will in the future because last night it was just kinda awkward that they kept going on about how crazy she is, yet she was acting completely normal without any explanation as to why.

Her madness was sort of hinted at when she was staring into empty space when Punk was yelling at her at the end of Raw. But, apart from that, she was sane probably because they wanted a neutral GM for the week.

Others called her crazy, but I'm sure she denied it. It's implied then that they made the wrong assumption.
This role wouldn't be suited to Beth or Nattie. They are talented wrestlers but they just don't fit well in WWE. If a relatively new talent shows up and shows WWE managment some potential, then I applaud them for pushing her.
She was on screen for about 2 minutes. You didn't avoid much
It's because they are different characters.

She looked super sexy in her business suit.

CM Punk is wrong... theyre not losers... theyre both winners... which is why..." etc It's never bothered me until last night, I dont know why. But yea, it really stuck out for me last night.

What? I just watched it again and it was a normal pause between sentences. Hardly anything to complain about. The only real time she paused for more than 2 seconds was to build up to saying the wrestlers' names to get a pop.

Maybe im imagining it, I have no idea. I just know that, for the first time, I was completely annoyed by AJ last night, and couldnt wait for her segments to end.

Your problem might be her actual delivery of her lines rather than the pausing. I don't know.

That's true, most are. But that doesn't make her not suck. By that virtue, everyone sucks pretty much. Not Kurt Angle.

I didn't like it; as I've said before in this thread. I didn't like her delivery, I don't like her acting, her voice or her exaggerated mannerisms. But, that is just my opinion and I get that lots of people will like it, and that's fine. Good for them for enjoying RAW a little bit more than I have.
What I really don't like (and forgive me if I'm missing the point here, just how I'm interpretating this thread at times) is that if you don't like it, apparently you have sour grapes or an inferiority complex or are just an idiot for not seeing the 'greatness'.
I didn't like it, other people didn't like it. Some people didn't like it. No one is 'right'. I think some people are forgetting that.
