What do people see in AJ? Well, prior to her GM run, she was a cute, spunky "nerd chick"-style character who was in a compelling storyline relationship with Daniel Bryan (and keep in mind, Bryan himself is one of the most over stars on the roster), got involved in the Bryan-Punk feud, and then the Bryan-Punk-Kane feud, and added a fresh dimension to it that Divas haven't been used for in a very long time. People enjoy her spunk, her fresh character, and the fact that she is not a "typical Diva" and was spicing up storylines.
Does that help any?
Champ: there's no veil at all. The guy is bashing today's product compared to the "golden years," and then when anyone even attempt to compare a figure from the past to a current figure (something for which he opened the door, and also something that was not even an attack on the legends of yesteryear), throws a temper-tantrum.
