Is there a sport that you don't "follow" Struggle? I'm guessing any sport where there aren't any rustled fans for you to troll. Does that exist?

Serious? I haven't kept up with how much time was left. I hope Nikki loses on Monday night rather than surpassing A.J's record.

They should put politics aside for this one. I hope.

Charlotte winning the title at N.O.C would be less rewarding than her winning the title at RAW, costing :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: the claim to having the longest reign.

Plus, :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: getting the longest reign = No one will care
or
Her losing the title, Team PCB celebrating Charlotte's victory, the shot of :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: in disbelief with the titantron in the background with time left on the BellaTron = Some people will care

All that is probably too much for WWE to do.
 
The Jericho/HBK/Batista 08 feud was perhaps the most multi-layered feud that I can recall. From HBK 'retiring' Flair at Wrestlemania to Batista wanting revenge on Shawn for Flair to Jericho calling out Shawn as a hypocrite for faking a injury to beat Batista at Backlash. It then escalate to a blood fued and eventually a world title ladder match. Alot of awesome matches and promos throughout the duration of the feud.

Also, serious Jericho persona lifted Chris back to the main event picture after a long time, if Jericho was like this in 01-02 his title reign would of been taking more seriously instead of being a third wheel to HHH/Steph.

What other feuds had such layers as the HBK/Batista/Jericho triangle?

Compare workloads too:

Nikki Bella:
Wrestling, including the house shows
Promotion Work
Filming Total Divas
Meet and Greets
Make A Wish

AJ Lee:
Didn't work house shows
Didn't do promo work
Didn't do meet and greets
No filming of Total Divas (Because E didn't want her)

But yeah, Nikki Bella gets the easy ride because of who she's dating...

I'd say that it ended up being even as far as workload went.

Bellas and AJ started training in around 2007. AJ worked the independents for 2 years and then got in the WWE developemntal. Bellas started in developmental but didn't do much wrstling.

Bellas come up and are used mostly as managers and eye candy, some wrestling. AJ comes up does some wrestling and managing (Bryan). Both are then transitioned into full time, wrestling every night wrestlers. Bellas leave for a year, AJ stays.

AJ works hard, and then slacks off for the last 6 months or so. Bella is now busting her ass.

Had Nikki busted her ass years ago like she is now, she would have been champ instead of people like Kaitlyn. But in the end, AJ got over, Nikki still hasn't, when you're over and you don't even need to wrestle to get a reaction, they'll try to keep you healthy and less active.

At the same time though, it's one thing to be more talented, but be a complete bitch to deal with, than not as talented, and doesn't say no to anything you ask of them. I've said it a few times, I'd rather have someone who isn't that good, but busts their ass over someone who is much better, but half-asses everything.

Over their careers, they probably have done a similar workload. However, when you look at the 18 months leading up to this WrestleMania. You say AJ half assing everything, taking months off, going off script to take shots at people, not working house shows, not doing promotion work or anything like that.

In fact, that match at WrestleMania is just a perfect representation of how AJ's contribution actually was.

when someone is done emotionally, just checked out, the effort will follow. I think being married to CM Punk had a lot to do with that.

Before she'd do plenty of interviews (including people like Sam Roberts), signings, make a wish, etc. she was one of the more accessible people in the WWE.

when the most important person in her life felt exploited by the same company, it'll affect how she views that job and what risks she is willing to take, especially when she plans on retiring soon.

that said, AJ was disliked before she even came up, I recall Rosa Mendes shitting on her and Kaityln's looks on twitter when they were just coming off of nxt - talking about acne and things of that sort. I imagine that'll affect motivation as well.
