AJ Lee is someone I would love to see in Japan. I think that her game would be elevated so much, that she could wind up on the same level as a Madusa. Her potential is that great. What is really holding her back is the garbage that we know as the Divas. Outside of Paige, Emma, and a fading Nattie Niedhart, what's left? She would do herself wonders, and maybe boost herself up a few levels into "legend" status with a couple of tours of Japan with an outfit like JPW or OZ Academy.
As for Daddy Little Girl: If this was Shane and not Stephanie, you might have an argument. Shane was at least a good performer. It was, in the opinions of many, his last name that held him back (When he was a ref, he was Shane Stone). Problem is that Stephanie has done zilch as a wrestler on her own merits. In fact, I will go so far as saying her match with Bree Bella was the highlight of her career. Most of the rest was as an Authority figure or jilted bride of some type.
This is a wrestling tournament. Not a managers, actors or jilted brides tourney. That being said, AJ should win. I just hope to God that when AJ's contract with WWE is over, she contacts Command Bolshoi over at JWP. It would send her career to the heavens.
