"She is different therefore she deserves it".
Again, you miss the point. Roxxi deserves the push because she is a talented all-around athlete who is both willing to put on hardcore shows and is still second only to ODB in overness even after months of crappy booking. So yes, she's on par with Gail Kim in athleticism and overness, but is NOT Gail Kim, therefore she deserves it. Hence, the title picture is freshened up. By your logic there should only be one champion because it doesn't matter if someone else is different and yet just as talented. "Pfft, the title picture doesn't need to be kept fresh and exciting!" Were you perhaps booking John Cena last year?
Yes, Roxxi is on the same level as Kurt Angle, Sting, and Samoa Joe.
I never said that, but when you consider that she has main evented iMPACT!s and that such segments are typically the highest rated portions of TNA, surpassing the segments of those three...
Nikki is not a wrestling legend, no. She is, however, an extremely gifted all-around athlete, willing to go through with any kind of match to entertain the crowds, and she's at the top of the ladder in terms of overness. If all that doesn't define a quality wrestler in your eyes, I don't know what does.
So being able to do more moves makes you a better wrestler? I had no idea....
That's... exactly what makes you a better wrestler? In terms of athletic ability anyway. Having a more diverse moveset, encompassing both high flying and power moves, is the very definition of a gifted, all-around athlete. If you mean "makes you a better ENTERTAINER", then factor in her prowess in hardcore matches and her excellent mic skills. She's not The Rock, but she's head and shoulders above the likes of Batista. She's a fantastic wrestler and entertainer, which you'd know if you watched TNA and/or SHIMMER.
Shelton Benjamin is a great athlete because he does clearly athletic things. Ive never seen Roxxi jump flat footed to the top rope.
Probably because you don't actually watch TNA or SHIMMER. Has she ever done that exact thing, jump flat footed to the top rope? I've not seen all her matches, but not to my knowledge. Also, Michael Jordan can't come close to getting the world record in the hundred meter sprint, but that doesn't mean he isn't a gifted athlete either. There are different kinds of athletes. Nikki encompasses the power game and the high flying game, making her a gifted athlete in all aspects of professional wrestling. You'd know this if you actually watched her in action.
Well according to you, more moves = better. Michelle McCool, Nattie, Beth, Mickie, Melina, and Victoria all can do as many moves as Roxxi.
I don't know how this became Nikki Vs. All the Divas, but ok. Those women are great athletes, yes, but all of them (save for perhaps Melina) are too far on one end of the spectrum - either the high flying game or the power game. None of them can snap off hurricanranas and springboard moves one second, then get up, bring up their opponents and power them down in any number of ways like it's nothing. Nikki can do that, because she's a fantastic all-around athlete. Again, you'd know this if you actually watched.
You know who else is a dedicated employee? Funaki. Lets have him beat The Undertaker and HHH.
Yes, because Funaki is an all-around athlete who lights up crowds. Dedication was not my only supporting argument, so don't make it out like that's all Nikki has going for her.
Jake Roberts actually invented a move. Last I checked, Roxxi didnt invent the leg drop. She may have modified it, but hey, John Cena came up with a finisher, he is deserving then too right?
If you want to get technical, Jake Roberts didn't actually invent a move - he screwed up a knee lift and his opponent was smart/kind enough to sell the resulting mess.
And... a leg drop? I mean... seriously Kaedon, a LEG DROP? THAT'S what you think Nikki innovated? Just... sweet christ, you really have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, do you? A Guillotine Drop is not a leg drop!

It starts at 1:40.
Time on the indies has nothing to do with athleticism. See Mick Foley.
So you're denying that Nikki is a gifted all-around athlete?
Ahh yes, STAY OUT OF MY SECTION, HOW DARE YOU HAVE AN OPINION THAT DOESNT AGREE WITH ME!!
1. This is not my section and I never said anything to imply that it is, here or anywhere.
2. You express opinions that aren't worth anything because you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, and you just proved it yourself. I guess you thought the Guillotine Drop was a leg drop because of the Guillotine Leg Drop, but that just proves that you've done NO research, you HAVEN'T seen more than one match involving Nikki (if even that), you have NO IDEA what you're talking about, and you're just sitting there trying to pick a fight, or something. A Guillotine Drop is named as such because it involves applying a standing guillotine choke. You'd know this if you watched, but you don't, and you've proven that. You've got no foundation for any of your arguments involving Nicole Raczynski and you have absolutely
no idea what you're talking about.
3. Grow up.
