Much love to my FANS, my FAMILY, the DIVAS, and my FRIENDS! There is a bright new future when one door closes another opens! Bring on the Doors! Spanks and Kisses"

   Wow that's something I'd never expected to see, especially with the romance with Matt Hardy recently starting. I guess Vince might be focussing more on wrestling abilities for the diva's again.

   ^^ if 32 is right I have to say ABOUT TIME because we all know what people think of WWE's divas i.e. 2 minute matches w/o nothing special - and that is from what I hear so dont blame me

   I'm not gonna miss her strictly for her wrestling. I'm gonna miss her for her charisma. Why not make her a backstage interviewer like the good ol' days? Besides, in the world of wrestling today, it's not always about wrestling ability. You have to have some charisma too to get over with the crowd.

    Yeah, but MVD, it's not like a lot of the TNA Knockouts can wrestle well either. Probably a handful each for TNA and WWE women who can actually wrestle. But Maria had something...

    I never liked her. Why was she on Play Boy's magazine cover... Maybe she got fairly good body, but her face is below the average...

    Peter, what's it like to live life without testicles? Did the other kids make fun of you growing up? My deepest sympathies.
