It drove me nuts, and I have no bias or agenda towards either performer. It was just drawn-out, and I was just barking at the screen, it was filler in the offensive sense. Besides, those 'dramatic'-pauses AJ takes just took the wind out of it.
That's even before I get to idea of the slap, and how AJ, even if she couldn't suspend, slap or fire Vickie, could have easily just stick Vickie in a Diva's match against a very competent opponent.

In that segment, AJ Lee came off as bad as Claire Lynch

I don't get the point of it, shes been GM for like 6 weeks.
She should have just abused her power and booked all of them in handicap matches.
The board of directors constantly sticking their nose in ruins everything to, it means a GM has to have an iron grip which means no madness in kayfabe.

Here's my question.
Why didn't she fire Vickie? Being slapped twice in a row, insulted, I would have had her thrown out of the building into a ditch.

Probably because the Board of Directors would have viewed that as a abuse of power and further reprimanded her. There seems to be a double standard with GMs where Face GMs can't make physical contact with Superstars/Divas, but Heel GMs can.

And having Chris Jericho fired as a stipulation for a match isn't an abuse of power?

It was like Vickie grounded her and took her video games away!

I just don't understand the purpose of it. Is this meant to push AJ as a face...because she screamed and took up TV time? Like, it's obviously not building towards AJ/Vickie are Vickie doesn't really wrestle so thats not it...
Either way I'm just done with Skippy Lee as GM. It's only saving grace was for once we weren't getting the Evil GM personality but I'd probably take a convincing one of those over this awkward filler we have now. Even the crowd don't know how to react anymore, her skippy used to get cheers now it just seems silent.

I seriously was like WHAT THE HELL? After the segment and began feeling quite Bi Polar when it comes to my feelings towards AJ. I kind of like her facial expressions but her voice is heelish, like LAYCOOL bitchy heelish IMO.

I thought it was bad too. I understand the idea that she is losing control of the show, but it went on for way too long.

I completely agree with everyone here, instead of acting "Crazy" like her character is, she came across as a spoilt, immature brat who throws a fit everytime she can't get her own way, to me she's not as good as Vickie was, I do like Vickie as a heel because I despise her so much if that makes sense.
AJ was out of control in her GM run, I mean she put JTG in a match with Ryback and all he was doing was airing his grivences at not being used, she takes offense to everything and cost Chris Jericho his job, and to top it all off when the Board Of Directors wise up and take her power away she throws her toys out of the pram?! (note: I will be a heel commentator for food)

I don't think I've ever cringed so much in my history of watching wwe, she comes across more spoilt child than crazy to me That's the point. Dating back to when she was with Bryanson, every time she's had a breakdown it's because she didn't get her way, and her lashing out is a tantrum. Even she acknowledged (in kayfabe) that she acts immature. This time, she wasn't allowed to strike out at anybody or anything, so like most children who are back into a corner, she bitched about it.

Seems to me that the Board of Directors has removed GM's for FAR, FAR less.

What pissed me off most was her being ignorant and not knowing who Matt Striker was.

That segment showed how much better of an on-screen talent Vickie is than AJ. From her mic skills to facial expressions to body movement, Vickie ran circles around AJ.
