Depends on how define oblivion. I wouldn't say she's going to be a transcendent crossovers star like The Rock or anything, but maybe be the host for some online gaming podcast, be a columnist or ign and continue to sell merch to the fan base she's established? Possibly do.

AJ has more appeal outside of wrestling than almost any other past diva. Has the right blend of looks, accessibility, and nerdiness that dudes from the gaming and comic book demographic would be into.
I could see her successful doing "Let's Plays".

I don't fukk with those shyts at all, but my understanding is that the successful ones make bank.

Just because she said it was her decision, doesn't mean it's true. Do you guys really think AJ's going to come out and say, "Oh yeah, it was my husband's decision. He tells me what to do because I follow him around like a groupie ring rat."?! :ld:

I just curious what makes her a ring rat ?

Even though it wasn't unexpected, and quite frankly, has been anticipated ever since her now-husband left the company over a year ago, the sudden nature of it still managed to catch me off guard, if only for a little bit. Now I can understand why Naomi got the win on RAW, and is now getting this push to face Nikki for the title.

This will hurt a little, quite a lot in fact, but I'm so absolutely happy and proud for AJ and what she has accomplished in her career and in her life.

She went from sleeping in cars, walking long miles to school and back, and taking multiple jobs just to make enough money to be broke, to now all of this.

Her brother started her love for wrestling, and her ambition and drive guided her to continue on and keep pushing forward, helped her meet her idols and saving up all the money she could, to literally starving herself just so she could have enough to make a tryout for WWE. And on a whim and a prayer, it worked.

From a shocking setback in being eliminated on NXT to being Natalya's jobber monkey for several months, from being booked as the village bicycle to even having (fake) crap dumped all over her, she persevered, kept on rolling, and did with a smile and with attitude.

In just a few short years she went from emotionally-abused girlfriend to calculating devious Crazy Chick, to snarky sneaky smartass, to even the friggin' General Manager of the Flagship show of WWE, to at least, being crowned a champion, the (as of this typing) longest reigning champion, to boot. And an added bonus is that she also met her husband there, and despite all backstage drama and mindless speculation, she has found the love of her life (vice versa for Punk.) Now with her gone from the squared circle, she can officially 100% of her time supporting her husband as he branches into his new career, while maybe also wanting to start a family of their own in the near future.

From being homeless to now preparing to be a full-time wife, possible mother and now a hopeful best-selling author, I think everything worked itself out perfectly for AJ, dontcha think?

Thank you, April. Congratulations on a stellar, unbelievable career, and I have no doubt that we will one day see you skipping proudly into your hallowed and deserved spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.

:salute: #ThankYouAJ


damn you're pathetic :scust:

Come on...just no.

Chyna was a big star and had mainstream success. She was a regular guest star on 3rd Rock from the Sun, did Hollywood red carpets, was a regular on the Tonight Show.

Trish Stratus was a big star in Canada, and had an Entertainment Canada (their equivalent of Entertainment Tonight) special on her for a week after she retired.

AJ is not even in the same league. Even Candice Michelle had more mainstream popularity.

She may have some potential if she can get some acting lessons and her husband can swing industry connects for her but if those two couldn't make it...

lol I even got to add to this---because my notification went off and I was thinking about it. Lita was also bigger if you're talking outside popularity. She was a guest star on Dark Angel as a villain in the finale of the series. Back when that was a popular show with Jessica Alba. And she was in Rolling Stone Hot 100, covered TV Guide, guest on MTV Awards, talk show circuit, Live with Regis and Kelly, was advertised next to Steve Austin, lol just a quick google on this those AE divas were worlds ahead in terms of mainstream success. And Chyna was the biggest of them all, ask a non wrestling fan if they know who

Lita
Trish
Chyna is...they will only know Chyna and will never have heard of the others.

She not even touching the "big 3" for women from the 'E.

Never really felt her, thought she just rode the coat tails of dudes that were hot for the moment then sucked their popularity out and made it hers due to her rabid simp fans that seemed to have created a movement based around their :scust: taste, so its :manny:
