Only Roman spear I can remember liking was the one in that Survivor Series match where he actually did nearly kill Shane McMahon. Which may be one more spear than Edge has done but I think inconsistent is very generous. He also murdered Rey Mysterio and did a great one to Big Show on the ramp. I think Ambrose sold it pretty good too. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. ... Copied to Clipboard!

AJ was probably the worst woman's wrestler of all time that wasn't regarded as one. Character work and in the ring
I think she could have been good if someone gave her a direction that suited her strengths instead of "sure you can wrestle like CM Punk cause you like him even though your strikes look like garbage and you're 90 lbs" and "sure you can pretend to be a crazy person cause you like Harley Quinn even though you're not convincing at all in the role" Give her a submission based moveset (her octopus lock was pretty good) and make her play a cocky heel (which is what she did anyway while throwing in random crazy looks in there CAUSE SHE'S CRAZY) and she would've been pretty okay. --- No problem!

So like are you giving AJ Lee props in the same way you could give The Kat props for being a top 3 women's wrestler in 1999 WWE here? I mean I'm pretty sure I disagree anyway with just the two names you've given + Kaitlyn but I can't decisively say Kaitlyn was much better. Maryse? Natalya?

I would argue that Alicia Fox even in her tragically limited role was better and Kaitlyn as well. Kharma as well, though I guess you might not count her.
Though I would take literally anyone from the Knockouts roster at the time (Gail Kim, Mickie, Tara, ODB, Taryn Tarrell, Madison Rayne, Angelina Love at the very least) over the whole lot of them. Velvet Sky and Brooke Tessmacher were probably worse than Paige and Nikki, but still better than AJ. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/chXIw06 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Of that match listing...
Alicia Fox Emma Layla (entirely on character work-- Michelle McCool held her down man) Nikki Natalya Were definitely better. There are a few that I'm on the fence of. And then of Rock's list Beth and Eve also if they counted (though Eve is another great example of a woman not playing to her strengths-- if she just cut the high risk maneuvers out of her moveset entirely she would have been pretty decent) And then Paige who is on none of the lists. That she's possibly top half of that group of like 12 women is pretty scary though --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I once watched a match where Velvet was supposed to come into the ring to break up a pin and she got caught up on the second rope and tried to cover it by acting like she was doing the ass thing
Meanwhile, the ref literally had to stop at the 2 count for several seconds before whoever just broke off the pin and went and fought with Velvet, skipping what I assume was a good three or four steps. EDIT: Another time she was I assume supposed to tag in by slapping somebody on the back, but she missed and tumbled over the top rope and had to roll back outside and do it again --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

I will say I think AJ did a few things well
1. She could talk okay. Had good flow. And cadence when she wasn't trying to be OH CRAZY. 2. As I said the submissions were decent looking when she did them 3. I liked her selling a lot. Watching AJ get rag dolled all over the place was very fun The problem is she sabotaged herself out of 1 and 2 by not having a good idea of what she was good at and just doing what she was a fan of. While in theory a good AJ match could occur she'd be throwing out these clumsy backhands and the opponent would have to sell them-- Ric Flair could get a good match out of a broom but he couldn't get a good one out of AJ Lee for this reason. And while she in theory could cut a good promo she wouldn't because her character was utterly unbelievable or she was dropping cringey "pipe bombs" or whatever else. She was a fangirl first a wrestler second. And yeah it made her really painful to watch. Honestly if her selling was not good it would be really hard to put her above much in that battle royal or whatever other than like Cameron. And it still is, really. I can't honestly say she's better than Rosa Mendes and be fully confident in it because I think AJ Lee's ability to tank a segment was much greater-- but I can't honestly say Rosa Mendes is better either cause at least AJ Lee was good at some things. --- No problem!
