Does anyone remember that she made her debut as Edge and Vicky's wedding planner?

Since it seemed like she was buddies with Alicia and all, I vaguely remember someone had talked to Gail Kim about Alicia being underutilized back when Gail eliminated herself from that battle royal.
Gail said it was down to politics really. The Bellas, for better or for worse, played the game. Alicia doesn't and apparently never did so that's why she's used the way she is.
I think a whole lot of other factors tie in to that too (i.e. yes, it's partially because she's a black woman), but it's one of those things that I really just get tired of seeing all over the roster.

The basic problem with Alicia is she came right when WWE was really focusing on physical beauty as the sole trait for their divas champions(Kelly Kelly, McCool, Maryse) and the higher ups in the WWE have never viewed a black person, as a figure of beauty, instead them being tough(Jackie), Crazy (Alicia) or a combo of both (Naomi). Alicia Fox is stunningly beautiful, but she was never pushed that way in a time where that is what got you over; and she was far more competent in the ring than McCool, Maryse, Kelly, Either Bella, Melina, or Eve Torres.
Gail can call it politics, but this is the WWE, and as long as the view of a person who has narrow views of what he believes people will buy into is in charge, I don't expect too much to change.

She was hired from the same modeling magazine as Kelly Kelly.

Hot af and very talented. She's certainly underutilized

She was hired from the same modeling magazine as Kelly Kelly. Hired from, but not pushed the same, and was a better worker than Kelly2. Also Kelly was put on the Main Roster, 2 years before Alicia.

WWE tends to go in cycles about what women they care about.

Just another good wrestler WWE has wasted over the years. The list is long.
