A good old fashioned AJ war is brewing. I FEEL SO ALIVE!!! I have no opinion of AJ one way or another, but apparently my Skinny Flat Ass comment got someone riled up. I feel honored to have contributed to this war.

Personally, AJ isn't my cup of tea either. It's funny, when she first came out I enjoyed her because she was different than the rest of the Divas division. She could actually wrestle (which aside from Nattie on the main roster, who else really was there?) and she had a different look. They played up her geek-suave or what have you when she rocked her plaid stuff, and she had the whole "Lita is my idol" thing going, with Lita being my favorite of all time.
But I grew tired of her real fast when she became the female version of John Cena. All the diva stories revolved around her, she always had the belt, and no one could possibly be made to look like a consistently credible opponent. Then she started rocking the denim shorts, which now that I think of it adds even more to the Female-Cenaness. She was annoying as hell during Bryan/Punk angle, and then as GM. It got super creepy when she and Punk started dating, due to him literally JUST being with her idol. I'm at the point where I just do not want her on my tv anymore. She's played out.
Not taking anything away from her wrestling career, she certainly has had alot of success. But I think she's also of victim of it and of the time that she came up. If she was coming up now, with the current crowd of NXT divas that can actually hold their own with AJ, then I think myself and many others might have a different view on her. She probably would not be so one-sidedly dominant if this was the case. She would definitely have a much better repertoire of better opponents and matches. Perhaps people around her feel bitter about her because of these reasons.
All of that being said, more power to her if she wants to tell her story. Lots of wrestlers have had great success with books recently. This is definitely a good time for her to put one out with the iron being hot. Whether she will spill the beans or try to keep things civil is the real question...

It ought to be a short story. Chapter 1: indies Chapter 2: NXT Chapter 3: Bryan's storyline GF, "Crazy girl", GM, Cena's awkward love interest, heel turn, Ziggler's awkward love interest Chapter 4: Tiitle Runs The end. If it's about her career...that is it. Hardly compelling reading there. People will read it hoping for road stories, gossip, anecdotes and rants not an account of her career. Hogan had the most epic career of any wrestler and I found his book dull. Goldusts was poor too for someone with 20 odd years in the business.

We don't even know that she'll be writing the book, that's the funny thing. We've got 4 pages out of a book pitch which might just be a theory at the moment.

I feel like I'm opening a can of worms by posting this but I really don't see what's creepy about her and Punk. She fell for a guy a lot like her who she worked with closely. With how some say it, you'd think AJ went full Single White Female.

Making her into the GM was dumb. It made no sense for her to be mini-Stephanie. Her involvement in the Punk/Bryan feud was awesome. It allowed both guys to show some depth beyond merely wanting to win a match. Kane would have greatly benefitted from some sort of storyline with AJ, but they never really went with it. The reason she was pushed more prominently than the other Divas is because AJ is the complete package. She's got the looks, ability and mic skills. At the time, who else did they have? Beth and Nattie, both good wrestlers but no personality to speak of. Eve Torres wasn't bad, but nowhere near AJ's league. Layla is...well....Layla. Fine looking woman, but crap on the mic. Tamina found her niche as a silent bodyguard/muscle. Kaitlyn was given a good storyline with AJ, and do I even need to comment on Rosa Mendes?
As for the denim shorts, seriously, this is a point of contention? Really? Good grief. That makes her the female Cena? Wow.
Her relationship with Punk is her business and shouldn't at all be a reason to like/dislike her.

Uggh, this is what I get for wanting a high quality gif. I end up with 5mb monstrosities that won't load for anyone else. (To be fair, it was 25mb til I trimmed it and dropped every other frame...) EDIT: Here, I made it smaller and split it in half.

If it's everyone else I'll delete the posts. It's just gifs of when AJ met Lita at a book signing as a kid. The clip's not hard to find worst case.

It's going to be a collaborative book with Kaitlyn, where it's nothing but Buffy, Lita, Veronica Mars, and The Simpsons fanfic. In every story there will be mention of a suit of armor.

Dude, lol I have no idea what you're on about. It became about you when YOU said YOU couldn't see the gifs that I posted. I asked if anyone else could see them or if it's just on your end. There's no hard feelings either way, I'm just trying to get them working.
