See, this is why I complain about them getting rid of Fandangirl for Summer Rae.
It literally doesn't matter one iota what Fandango does. ALL THE FOCUS is on her, and frankly Fandango's awesome enough that he deserves better.
The rest of that list...the Bellas are still crap, even if the list is only the one that's slightly less crap. Other than that, good solid list.

Well that sucks for those superstars, as being on the "superstars to watch" list usually means they won't be doing a whole lot for the next year.

I'd just made this point in another thread as well - you have to figure that when she wears an outfit like she did on Monday, she knows that more people will end up talking about her than a fairly basic match. |

I love how they said Bray Wyatt targeted top tier superstars, mentioning Kane, Punk and Bryan.
Somewhere, the Miz and Kofi are sobbing.

I love Summer Rae, I do - but I can't help but agree. By pairing her with Fandango they're given her a good start and spotlight, but they've totally taken away from Fandango himself. I wish they would have paired her with someone more established, obviously without the dancing gimmick for her. |

I have to laugh at the people in this thread blaming Summer Rae for getting over.

I have to laugh at the people in this thread blaming Summer Rae for getting over. That's not really what they're doing at all. They're saying the WWE seems to put more focus on her, than they do on Fandango during his matches, when she's the one that's suppose to be enhancing him, as his valet. And the WWE's been doing this since way before the Summer Rae chants started. |

I have to laugh at the people in this thread blaming Summer Rae for getting over. WWE was reportedly miffed with Maryse for exactly this in 2010 when she was with DiBiase. Why aren't they mad at Rae who is pretty saliently taking attention away from a guy who needs it? WWE has clearly picked a favorite and Summer is milking it. I can't blame her and I do like her. Curtis deserves better though. |

I doubt Summer Rae was the one that chose what she was wearing.

I doubt Summer Rae was the one that chose what she was wearing. Superstars choose their attire, for the most part. So I tend to assume Summer Rae would be the same - she'd have to get approval, of course. Granted it's just an assumption. My point was that unlike Maryse, Summer is actively drawing attention to herself even though the storyline doesn't call for it. I don't want to get into motives any further but it's pretty hard to ignore. She's all the announcers talk about. She gets the chants. It's not Fandango's fault because he's gotten good heat and has had good matches when given the chance. As to the gimmick having an expiration date, it's been just over a year and exactly one notable feud during that time. |

Superstars choose their attire, for the most part. Not really. WWE has a staffed and on-hand tailoring department for creating their outfits; the wrestlers often have *some* say in what they wear (e.g. Kofi getting them to put Skeletor and Battle Cat on his tights), but their suggestions are just that: Suggestions. The "costumes" are entirely up to the people in charge and the marketing department. Almost any change in attire (Cena wearing a particular sports team's jersey, for instance) has to be approved ahead of time. |
