It's a Goog Day, yes it is!
As a pure wrestler, I'd say that AJ is inferior to Beth, Mickie, Natalya, and maybe Paige. As a complete package of in-ring talent, charisma and popularity, I'd have her at the top of that list, by a pretty significant margin.

Does Lita count because I thought Lita was real cool.

Lita's only notable promo was when she announced she was retiring, leading everyone else to wonder why the hell she wasn't that good on the mic before. She also introduced the whale tail to WWF fashion in 2000. Total package argument semantics aside, yes she was pretty cool - not to mention the best foil for Trish in that godforsaken era of women's wrestling.

Layla and Michelle McCool might not have been the best at wrestling (though they were better than they were given credit for), but their heeling was off the charts and they were so, so, so good at it :allears:

In my mind I think of Lita as a contemporary to Trish because their retirements were very close to one another. If you want to say that she's post-Trish, then yeah, nobody even comes close. Lita was massively popular on a level that none of the current roster could get to even if WWE was inclined to let them.

Also I want to echo Jerusalem; LayCool was a great, great act.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
Laycool and Nattie/Phoenix ("Pinup Strong") were good heel teams, with the problem of NO LEGIT FACE CHALLENGERS. The only good feud either had was with each other (including a good divas table match).

Randy rules so much when he's allowed to just be a total shitheel.

A lot of guys are "rear end in a top hat because he's a heel". Orton's actually "heel because he's an rear end in a top hat", which is somehow surprisingly rare.

It's almost like they've realised that they have a character with Cesaro-like strength in Jack Swagger except he's handily not foreign.

Lita and Trish both debuted and retired within months of each other. They're as contemporary as they could get without having identical times working for WWE.

It's DDT, they had their big Sumo Hall show last weekend and this was the usual crazy brawl that went all over the building. The bike is Sanshiro's special weapon.

MiSu & Nakazawa vs Takagi & Kasai

Going back to this, could someone gif Suzuki putting a dude (I don't know which one) in a sleeper hold while they're riding a bike? It starts around 19:30 in that video.

First time trying gfycat. The quality took quite a hit, but it's certainly convenient. Here it is (didn't want to link in the thread as it's 18 megs).

I always enjoyed Lita when she was hanging around with the Hardys, back when they did less drugs (or at least hid it better). She didn't come off as a tagalong valet, but was clearly there to wrestle, and that deserves respect.
