As part of the big SummerSlam promotion, the WWE Divas got the spotlight on MSN.com with Michelle McCool, Mickie James and Gail Kim dishing on aspects of their career. Plus there’s even HQ promo pictures of most of the Divas [sorry Bella fans]!
Let’s start with perhaps the most interesting news, our readers have long been wanting Mickie to turn heel. So what say she on the matter?
If it came to that, I would totally embrace that opportunity. I am very much a perfectionist so if I were to turn heel, I’d want to be the nastiest girls out there, where the people hated me. It’d be a really hard task for me because I am a fan favorite and there has been a lot of hard work on my part to earn their respect. So, even if they hated me, I think they’d still love me.
Contestant number two is former Women’s Champion, Gail Kim who dishes on leaving TNA and rejoining WWE:
MSN: What made you want to return to the WWE?
Kim: It’s the No. 1 company in the world and I had worked for them previously. So I felt like I had a little something to prove when I came back, that I’m a different wrestler now and that I’ve grown so much. Also, I wanted to work with people I had wrestled with in the past, like Mickie James, Beth Phoenix and Melina.MSN: Is it a different vibe between WWE and TNA?
Kim: Definitely. TNA is smaller. WWE is a bigger production and you get many more fans. It’s so exciting to perform in front of so many people. It is what we thrive off of.
And finally, contestant number three Michelle McCool discusses the history she’s made:
I am constantly setting goals for myself. I wanted to become a Diva. I wanted to work WrestleMania. And I wanted to be champion. And I have accomplished all of those things. I don’t think it has hit me that in 50, 100 years from now, my name will be listed among those that held the titles. No one can take that away from me.
Michelle also adds that the Divas always pack bikinis in case Vince decides he needs a release.
Anyway, check out the HQ promo pics below including one I don’t think we’ve seen of Melina before [gawjus!]:
The Good: Most of them look good; Alicia, Beth, Eve, Gail, Katie, Layla, Maria and Maryse. I’m totally loving that shot of Melina, I certaintly haven’t seen it before. My favourite picture of the bunch is Michelle’s, I’ve always loved that promo of her — she looks sort of like Jordana Brewster.
The Bad: Jillian, Kelly and Tiffany look ‘eh’. Natalya & Rosa seem to be suffering from a bad camera angle. But Mickie’s pose looks really uncomfortable, stiff and her face looks slightly constipated.

Great pics of the Divas, but the Tiffany pic looks strange, it’s like her head and body aren’t attached or something. I love the pic of Beth, her hair really suits her when styled that way. It’s funny how people say there are “too many blondes” in WWE, as it doesn’t look that way to me when you see them all lined up that way.

I think eve looks the prettiest, yet again. She’s gorgeous. And officially my new favourite diva now that Ashley is no longer there

I think Gail and Mayrse look really pretty! ^__^

Gail forgot to add, “And they offered me a lot more money.”

“Michelle also adds that the Divas always pack bikinis in case Vince decides he needs a release.”
WTH is that supposed to mean? Like, did anybody else get a super creepy vibe from that statement or is my mind just in the gutter?

Lmfao, that was my commentary =P Apparently the strikethrough didn’t work, fixed it now!
August 24, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Mickie looks so good in this attire. She looks like a true wrestler in it, theres something superhero-esque about it. She only wore a few times…
I hate her new clothes!
August 24, 2009 at 9:48 pm
to be honest beth stand out the most to me, she looks sooooooo beautiful <3
i mark for the glamazon

imo man these pics look super fake, like their in a video game or something. Its prob just me tho.
August 24, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Lmfao that is hilarious that statement makes vince look creepy
August 24, 2009 at 10:03 pm
I do agree that these pictures look very video game-esque and lmao Melanie, geez!! I was like, damn, I know Vince is bad on screen, but really now? And how’s he going to feel about Michelle leaking that info? lol, oh God, I think I need sleep…
August 24, 2009 at 10:29 pm
is it just me or do ALL those pics look kinda fake-ish lol
August 24, 2009 at 10:36 pm
The photos were clearly tweaked around a bit, but when aren’t Diva photos tweaked around? Lol, really.
August 24, 2009 at 10:50 pm
The photos all look really fake! When did Beth look like that?! I wonder why they’d want to make her look weaker?! Is that considered sexier??
Tiffany’s picture is pretty messed up, if she looked like that, man I’d so be straight!
But I’ve got to admit, some look fabulous, that Michelle picture is PERFECT, same with Melinas picture, these two really stand out!
August 24, 2009 at 11:26 pm
I want mickie to turn heel so badd….seriously…The pics did look fake though but Mickie,Melina,Katie & Beth looked awseome
August 25, 2009 at 3:50 am
Is it just me or does Layla usually rock the most clothe and still look beyond awesome? And onto another topic that completely floored me: Maria looks great! I mean, ignoring the semi-fish lips bit, this shot was really beautiful.

lol,Gail forgot to add “and WWE offered me more money” because that was the only reason she left TNA.I don’t like how Gail protrayed TNA,yes,TNA is smaller then WWE,we all know that but it sounds like Gail thinks TNA was holding her back and they were not,TNA made her the 1ST EVER TNA knockout champion,that means many years from now when the knockout title history expands,fans will look back and see Gail as the 1st ever champion and it sounds like gail doesn’t appreciate that

I think these photos arent airbrushed because u can see imperfections. I think Melina looks awful, not liking the facial expression at all.
