She can more than hold her own on the mic - but they never seem to give her or any of the ladies a decent storyline that is not about the chase for the title. She is not a Charlotte, Becky, Asuka, Naomi, Sasha, Mickie, nor Ember Moon when it comes to ring work. But she is better than an awful lot of the ladies on both rosters. She knows how to throw a forearm or a kick and make it look real. And you forget that her selling is better than all but a handful of the women's roster.
Your problem with her is more of a problem with the booking. She's been given garbage roles like being a valet to Khali and Hornswoggle, or the infamous farting gimmick. But she's also been used to try to help get a lot of newcomers over - and that hurts her credibility. She's taken more than her share of losses in tag matches where the goal of the match is to protect her tag partner, and get others over. At some point, losses matter, but I'd argue that she has built up enough credibility that she's been able to overcome a lot of this, and she still has value in doing this. Based on the booking, it didn't make sense for her to be challenging Becky for the title, but nobody really expected that anyway. We know she is being used to help build up Lacey Evans, so she will look more like a legit contender.
When you say she's super overrated, the most overrated female wrestler on the roster, it makes me think she's like Rey Misterio. She's been around a long time, and the crowd usually enjoys her matches even though we don't expect her to win anymore.
There's no doubt that she will be a HOF'er shortly after she retires.
