MELTZER WON: "AJ Lee Is Not A Draw"

No.18922021 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio with Garrett Gonzales:
>“You know, AJ Lee’s business was gonna be front‑loaded. You know, It was going to be really big for the first one. I never thought it would sustain.”
>“She may be a popular woman wrestler based on different things, you know, but it’s going to be tough. She’s older, you know. The entire division has evolved incredibly in 10 years.”
>“She could stand out a decade ago… but with how evolved the division is now, you know, it’s tough. Becky helped carry her, but long‑term, you know, I don’t see her being a big draw.”
>“Becky Lynch really helped her through that a lot, you know — and I thought almost enough. But there were certain points where it was just kind of like, you know… you know, she’s got Becky Lynch there, but long‑term?”

>“Very often, you know, when you leave something and come back, and go back to doing what you did before — you don’t realize that the business is different, you know.”
>“My brother watched nothing for years… then, you know, he came back and was just like, ‘Oh my God, this wrestling is like a thousand times better than when we were kids!’”
>“I did not like that match personally because I thought her style of wrestling just did not fit in with today’s style of wrestling, you know.”
>“She may just go in there and, you know, have this mental attitude of like, you know, ‘I’m catching up and now I realize it,’ and be a giant success — but as far as in the ring goes… yeah, I was worried about that aspect.”
