You know we get all teary-eyed when we see beloved former Divas reunite (example), so it should be no surprise that we’ve got our nostalgia hat on and are YouTubing old Divas matches as we speak type.
Four former WrestleMania-headlining Divas were reunited today at an autograph signing event in California.
Playboy covergirls Candice Michelle, Maria Kanellis and Torrie Wilson, as well as five-time WWE champion Melina, posed for this picture which Maria posted on Twitter.
Also on hand was TNA’s Traci Brooks, not pictured.
In case you need a good starting point on YouTube for old Divas matches involving the foursome, we recommend this.

Well after seeing Marias shoot on youtube last year she made it pretty clear that she didn’t like Melina but i wouldn’t say hate.

That was a year ago and I think, they are old enough to leave such things behind them as the time goes.

I wish they were all still in WWE.
They look so happy to be with each other (I mean who wouldn’t wanna hang with wwe former divas)

Miss them all.

Hate is a strong word and everyone seems to downplay both Maria and Melina’s maturity… or at least their ability to be civil. All four women are looking gorgeous, by the way. Torrie Wilson just doesn’t seem to age.

Ditto:
Used in accounts and lists to indicate that an item is repeated (often indicated by ditto marks under the word or figure to be repeated).
Used to indicate that something already said is applicable a second time.

The best term that fits to this for Ditto is “Likewise”.
It’s used very often. Even when people say I love you, others say “Ditto” instead of saying me too or I love you too. :p

I love this picture! I wish the division could go back to how it was…

Even with huge losses such as Gail Kim and Melina the Diva’s division isn’t short of talent, it’s creative being unimaginative idiots who don’t give a shit about the division.

I’m not blaming it on the Divas. When Melina, Torrie, Candice, etc. were there, the creative team actually cared for them. I think the talent has, and always will be there… its just the creative team that’s making them look horrible.
Air-Bourne Reply:

I agree. I’m not gonna complain that much about the division though, because when Kharma comes back creative will actually invest time and effort into matches and storylines. Lets just hope she doesn’t part ways with the company after she has giving birth.

It’s not possible! Melina’s a vapid you know what who was cruel to everyone and ruined everyone’s lives! /sarcasm

I scored it somewhere on dailymotion. Not a bad interview by any means, but if you want some really juicy post-Diva reflections, check out Ivory’s shoot video. :)

Oh! Where can I find Ivory’s shoot interview? :) very interestd in that.

Try googling it. I only managed to find excerpts on YouTube. She has a few memorable things to say of Lita, Chyna and Triple H to name a few. Definitely one of the most charismatic women the WWE ever had, even if they never quite knew it.
Jhonmarco Reply:
December 18th, 2011 at
I’ll try & find it tomorrow & thanks :) & I never really payed attention to her earlier work but I LOVED her in RTC, wonderful heel.

John Ivory in her earlier days didnt like Debra or Sable lol
She had 9month long beef with Jacqueline and Jackie would stiff the F*** out of her n vice versa lol
Chek out their work n dude check out the video with Ivory Pre Armaggedon Raw segment with BB Jackie Miss Kitty n Chyna…Ivory’s expression towards The Kat is hillarious!! lol
Ivory doesnt hold back man..she doesnt like Lita Tori Chyna Sable or the Kat..specially not Brock Lesnar Michael Cole n Triple H lol she always owned Cole like the Rock did
Raekon Reply:
December 18th, 2011 at
She disliked Sable, Debra and the Kat because they were women that were there for the TV Exposure only while she and the other girls were wrestling their butt off.
Most of all since Vince gave Sable everything she wanted and degraded the whole division to exposed boobs and butts because of them.
I actually never saw her saying anything bad about lita, chyna or jackie though.
The only thing I know is that Jaqueline was the one that would hit you as hard as she could in the ring if she didn’t liked you and that’s what happened to Ivory, even Ivory never did anything to her.
Immature on Jaquelines part. I hope she isn’t the same nowadays cause if she is, then it’s not a wonder why her contract “died” with TNA.

December 18th, 2011 at
Ryan, thanks for all that info :)
Rakeon, actually she was just stiff on anyone. Just her style, there are some wrestlers who are just stiff for no reason. This was said by all women who worked with Jacqueline.

@Raekon The comments Ivory made about Lita were that she was sloppy and unpredictable in the ring and it didn’t make her comfortable. She said Lita wrestled like Gumby and she felt it was hard to work with her because you always had to adapt to her style and pick up her slack, instead of it being a collaborative effort. She also said Lita never wanted to learn and was fine with the way she performed.

@Jhonmarco – Well maybe other women have said that about Ivory, but I remember saying reading an article, and Ivory said she actually spoke to Jazz about how stiff and rough Jackie was onto her, and even asked Jazz if she experienced any of that, and Jazz replied with a “No.”
So I wouldn’t say everyone women got treated that way by Jackie, I only remember Ivory ever saying that.

Playboy Covergirl AND Women’s Champion Candice Michelle! ;)
They all look great, except for the bad angle/bad lighting on Melina.

Comments that Maria made in various interviews, after she was released, about her working relationship with Melina. I don’t know why anyone is surprised. If these two could co-exist in the ring, despite their differences, posing for a picture together is nothing.

Maria had a shoot interview with Kayfabe Commentaries (a ‘YouShoot’) where they played a ‘game’ with a ‘ho-bag’, where Maria got given about 25 different names, of which Melina was one of about 3 names placed inside the ho-bag. I believe Maria also made quite a few disparaging comments about Melina during the interview. None of this had anything to do with Melina’s ‘rumoured’ promiscuity, and was mainly about Melina being very bitchy backstage (at least to Maria).
But as a lot of ex-WWE employees have said, the backstage environment of WWE can sometimes be very toxic/stressful, and make people act a lot more antagonistic than they otherwise would. So hopefully outside of the WWE environment, Melina and Maria have made amends, which at least is somewhat indicated by the photo (although they might just be trying to be diplomatic).

Everyone at some point had real life beef with Melina
Torrie mentioned it a few times, Candice back to back blogging with each other with insults, Mickie James real life beef years ago. And Maria too. Hell even Brooke Tessmacher did too with Melina lol…the woman was a bitch some years ago but all these women got older wiser n more mature n outgrew those catty moments lol..i love em all man =)
Melina rocks too i dont care for her but shes pretty great in the ring n lovable. Last known Melina beef was her n Morrison acting like douches towards Trish Stratus last year lol
But hey it happens..fake or not its great to see them all together
Like i always saw Keep That Drama Off of Me =D

All of them added to the division at some point and all of them did the best they could to improve and get better in the ring than they were before.
