This week on an all new Roundtable, the Diva Dirt team will be discussing WWE, TNA and a lot more! Join us as usual, on Thursday. But in the meantime, have your say on your topics:
Please try to keep them short and sweet — just one sentence, so we can read out as many comments as possible.
WWE Topic: “Former Divas Champion, Maryse is on the injured list. As the top heel of the Raw side, how will Raw cope without her and will it suffer?”
TNA Topic: “TNA has announced a deal with Playboy, with Traci Brooks the first Knockout to grace the cover. A cheap attempt at publicity? And to what length does this contradict TNA’s stance on the WWE Divas?”
We are also going to do a segment where we answer your questions about anything and everything, from wrestling to random stuff! If you have a question for Melanie, Erin, Steven or Tiffany, just leave it in a comment and make sure you state who your question is for! Whether it be an opinion on a certain Diva or if you just want to know what their favourite sandwich filling is!
Remember: Keep your comments brief, one sentence is best. I’m being serious about this, last week we got huge paragraphs from some of you and bear in mind, I have to read this out and it gets tongue-twistery. I know it’s hard to say what you want to say in a line or two, but it’s important to keep your comments brief so we can read them out.
Please copy and paste and the form below into the comments box, to best help us! Feel free to leave any field blank if you don’t want to answer:

Comment on WWE topic: Not Sure If Raw Will Cope But I Hope They Turn Gail Heel
Comment on TNA topic: I Think It’s Fine For The Knockouts To Do Playboy, B’Cos All Of The Fans Have Seen That The Knockouts Can Actually Wrestle & Is Not In TNA Just As Eye Candy *Cough* Jenna Morrasca *Cough*.
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany (delete as applicable): For Melanie. Now That Maryse Is On The Injury List, Do You Think She Will Be Injury Prone Just Like Candice B’cos This Is The Second Time Maryse Has Had Problems With Her Knee?
Your name (required): Daniel
Comment on WWE topic: I don’t think Raw will suffer, Beth has just come back and unlike Maryse she can wrestle.
Comment on TNA topic: We should know this by now but TNA will do anything to get publicty from taking shots at WWE to doing Playboy
Your name (required): Paul
Comment on WWE topic: I think a Gail/Mickie/Beth feud could be the best thing now, it would be something new, special.
Comment on TNA topic: It only shows how hypocritical they are, one minute they hate on WWE for something, then they copy it.
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany : What do you all think about the possibility of a Gail/Mickie/Beth feud? And the possibility of a Mickie/Michelle feud?
Your name (required): Pedro Pedroso

Comment on WWE topic: I think that it was probably a good thing for RAW that Maryse got injured, I don’t want to sound evil or somethin, but now Beth and Gail have the opportunity to become a contender, and I couldn’t watch another Mickie/Maryse match…
Comment on TNA topic: I really couldn’t care less, I just think that Diva-bashing from TNA is now officialy out of the question…
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany (delete as applicable): Question for Everyone that wants to answer : Alex Riley from FCW got two dark matches already on WWE (one on ECW, the other Im not sure…) and Beverly (formerly known as Wesley Holiday) accompanied him on both matches….is she getting on WWE before Angela?! What do you think about that???
EDIT : I change my question to this:
Question To Steven!!
I’d like to know…
1 – Who do you think that should be introduced to ROH next (from SHIMMER)?! [I'd like to see Ariel there, simply because she's portuguese like me...and I like her in the ring!, or maybe Allison Danger?!]
2 – What do you think about Sassy Stephie??! In my opinion, she lacks a lot of charisma and in-ring skills…
[If you could answer both, it'd be awesome...]
Your name (required): Steve
Comment on WWE topic: Hopefully a three way feud with Beth/Mickie/Kim will come to fruition.
Comment on TNA topic: Despite the hypocrisy from TNA by signing the deal, this is a very smart move from TNA. Getting a member of their roster in the biggest selling “lads mag” will gain them a ton of exposure. I just hope Traci isn’t thrown into the title scene.
Question for Steven: What one worker defines each division as a whole? One for WWE’s, TNA’s and Shimmers.
Your name (required): William
Comment on WWE topic: Wrestling wise they’ll cope without her, but character wise they’ll struggle, Maryse is the only diva on Raw with any personality
Comment on TNA topic: Well, everything else they do is something WWE has already done before, so…
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany (delete as applicable): Do you think Gail Kim will get over as a heel this time if that is where they end up going? They tried it years ago and nobody cared.
Your name: Ed
Comment on WWE topic: Raw will not have to cope. It will get better. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Maryse is a lousy wrestler. If she’s replaced as the top heel Diva by Gail Kim or Beth Phoenix it will take the Raw divas division a huge step up.
Comment on TNA topic: It’s hypocritical of TNA to do the same thing they’ve bashed the divas for, but we shouldn’t have expected them to turn down a chance for publicity like this. As long as the women who pose for Playboy are just the Traci’s & SoCal Val’s (the eye candy Knockouts) and the real wrestlers focus on being the serious competitors the Knockouts division is branded as then it shouldn’t be a huge issue.
Your name (required): jack
Comment on WWE topic: by the looks of last night, they will cope.
Comment on TNA topic: hypocritcal, really.
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany (delete as applicable): out of all the recently RELEASED (not retired) wrestlers (ie Ashley, Kristal, Candice, Christy etc) from the last few years, who would you rather see back and why?
Your name (required): Charlie Everhart
Comment on WWE topic: I think WWE will cope they will turn Beth back into the title contender they should NEVER have let her not be and start several feuds that can last until the end of the year, at least, if not well into next summer.
Comment on TNA topic: Truthfully this makes me lose a little respect for TNA and their Knockouts, I have thought since the beginning of the Knockouts Division in 2007 that separating themselves from WWE Divas has been the best, but taking this contract makes me think they’re trying to make them look more like Divas then ever.
Question for Melanie: What do you think of the TNA knockouts picking up the Playboy contract?
Your name (required):Chris
Comment on WWE topic:Of course Raw can live without maryse.Plus,I can barely stay in place knowing that mickie might turn heel,and I might actually like her again.
Comment on TNA topic:I think TNA has started to realize that the Divas have stepped up their game,and this is almost a last resort for TNA to stay on top,which they haven’t been in a long time.
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany:1.)What program do you guys use to create the graphics for your website?
2.)Which diva attire is your favorite?
Your Name (required) Eric
Comment WWE Topic: I think Raw can cope without Mayrse,Her knee injury limited her moveset their 4 we coudnt see the 2008 mayrse.Besides Mickie/Gail/Beth fued can add some new flares to raw.
TNA Topic:TNA is just looking 4 some more credit,picking up what wwe dropped off.
Question 4ffor Erin:Hey Erin,Do you think that there is a possiblity that maybe Serena Debb will Debut on SD as a face and insert her self into the Melina/Michelle fued or do you think Eve will be Michelle’s next Victim
Your name (required): Matias(or just Mat if you can’t pronounce)
Comment on WWE topic: I think that with Gail ‘turning heel’ and the Beth/Mickie/Gail or Mickie/Michelle tease they can.
Comment on TNA topic: I think what they are aiming for is recognition, but this completely contradicts their say on the WWE Divas
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany (delete as applicable): How do you guys think Maryse and Jillian will return? With a storyline or jobbers?
Your name (required): Sean
Comment on TNA topic: I don’t think the Playboy deal is a contradiction to TNA’s stance.
The fact remains, TNA’s “Knockouts” come from wrestling backgrounds, with the obvious exception of Lauren and Christy Hemme. As long as TNA continues to give talented performers an opportunity, and not hire models and hope they become talented, I see no problem with it. I hope new viewers will tune in due to the added publicity, and see that the women can actually hold there own, and perform on a level far better then most they have seen before, and give a new found respect toward women performers, something which was more or less tarnished during WWE’s deal with Playboy.
Your name (required): Cyndi Rezetti
Comment on WWE topic: I actually love Maryse and hopes her time off and healing process helps her get back to the late 08 Maryse i love love love Mickie’s reaction i hope she becomes this self-indulgent wrestler with im better then u ego i really love Gail as a face but hopefully they don’t just make her heel and put her on the back burner like they did 3 yrs ago and i love Beth i have such a girl crush on her
Comment on TNA topic: i know we all like to think TNA has the best women’s roster and they do but come on they do photoshoot like the divas so its the natural thing to do playboy do honestly think that they wouldnt hire the sexier female wrestlers i just hope Tracy does’nt go for the KO title she’s a ok wrestler but not title worthy
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany (delete as applicable): everyone who in TNA or WWE do u think has the best theme? on WWE hands down i think Maryse cause it matches her personality but i love Tara’s and Alissa’s themes and Sarita’s theme reminds me of the Rob Thomas and Santana song “Smooth”
Your name (required): Kevin
Comment on WWE topic: Yes i think it will be refreshing to see good competition for the Diva’s title. Not Maria and Kelly Kelly. So I’m hoping for Gail/Beth vs Mickie without Maryse
Comment on TNA topic: I’ve always hated TNA bashing the Divas. The Knockouts are turning into divas which I think makes TNA worst because they have always bashed divas.
Question for Melanie/Steven/Erin/Tiffany (delete as applicable): Since there is now only 1 tag title in WWE could you see the womens tag title being brought back and if so who would make a good team
