On this day in history:
February 16th, 2007 | In anticipation of her issue of Playboy going on sale (and the eventual WrestleMania feud), Ashley Massaro unveiled her cover with the usual fanfare on an episode of SmackDown. In addition to that, a behind the scenes look at the shoot revealed its theme, which matched Ashley’s rocker style, making it pretty big departure from the more “glamorous” Diva Playboy shoots of the past.
What are your memories of this moment? Tell us in the comments!

Aw, Ashley looks so pretty when she smiles and giggles. I always found her really hot but also incredibly one down to earth cool chick bro :P
She resembles Angelina Love a LOT wow! Just way smaller stature.
I know I know, a lot of ppl dislike her.. She isn’t the best wrestler but deff one of the most gutsiest divas! Always down to get her ass kicked, plus like Melina said, she wrestled with a shattered ankle and completed the match. Props to u Ashley :)
One thing ill say, hated how they booked Ashley’s playboy run, she started dressing in Victoria secret and dropped her punk girl gear.. She kind of looked like a proatitute :(
Reason I say this, i could care less about wrestling gear but my little sister at the time was a HUGE Ashley fan, and Ashley going the 180 on ring gear to lingerie like gear and stripping her own top off ala Sable haha tht wasn’t cool but glad my lol sister missed that…. But Ashley wasn’t any worse than Candice Kelly or Trinity haha
Also in history Jillian Hall and Kristal Marshall start going at it on Smackdown 2006
Luna calls out Sable, tori admits her love for Sable and Sable owns her haha 1999
Sable and Luna can’t keep their hands of one another ambushing each other along with Mero and Goldust HELL OF A FUED!! 1998
2003 – Trish Returns! looses her fear and gets in a nasty bitch fight with Jazz!! Victoria try’s to run in but Trish kicked her in her manish forehead!! Haha take that! Go Trish!! :D
Michelle McCool continues to terrorize Maria.. Yet Maria keeps beating her in the matches!! Sweet!
Epic stuff man!

Don’t you ever compare Ashley to Trinity in terms of in-wring abilities…
(I love Ashley but I think Trinity is a waaaay experienced wrestler than her.)

I think what Ryan meant was that ashley wasn’t as risque as candice and trinity. They we re pretty oversexualized in the wwe. But Trinity and Candice were miles ahead of ashley even maria alittle bit. But anyway I loved ashley. I had a giant crush on her way bavk when and she always had that sexy punk rock attitude and gear. I miss her.

Ya haha I meant how the dressed.. Trinity Kelly and Candice were like total porn stars I mean it went months past Halloween and trinity kept appearing with the tape around her tits as gear. Ashley kept it clean yet hot with her rocker gear before going all playboy.
Candice Ashley Maria my faves for sure!!
Trinity was awesome in TNA and she had a great match with Beth in OVW.

Look at Ashley Massaro now. I can’t discern whether she’s aged horribly or whether she’s made some bad investments in some cosmetic procedures. If it is the latter case, I hope she kept her receipts. Poor girl.

Ya Ashley isn’t that appealing anymore, Jillian’s face looks jacked up now she looks like a tranny wow! :(
She was so beautiful back in 2005-2007
Candice.. She looks normal now
Maria Michelle McCool Gail Kim Mickie James get better with age!

Candice is still pretty foxy, but I did notice that her lips had inflated into a sofa by 2009.
And whilst I love Jillian, it’s laughable that she expects us all to believe the only surgery she’s had is a boob job. Please.

I liked Candice’s in-ring gear. it walked the line in between sexy and slutty but it was always sexy.
Ashley’s was just trashy ala “Trashley”

What’s funny is that hers was the worst selling playboy to have a wwe diva on the cover.

Sales mean nothing lol
Internet age was raging so porn was easy to aquire.. Christy Hemme’s Ashley’s Maria’s and Maryse’s playboy spread like rapid fire on the internet, yet trust me, NO ONE actually bought it haha
Thank you Verizon FiOS

@ryan its true no one buys PB anymore u can see woman lke that on the TV now lol
Ashley had it rough in the ring but that’s what happens when wwe just throw u into a match without training but to be honest ashley was like kk in that no amount of training could make her good you can just tell with some people

ok, Ashley wasn’t a great wrestler, but she not received training by the WWE and she was from the Diva Search to RAW main roster without entering in the developmental territory. Ashley had a presence in the ring and she was very charismatic and has a large number of fans. It’s a shame she didn’t receive a good training, because with her gimmick as rocker girl, she would be an great heel. I miss Ashley and I would love to see her again one day, either in the WWE or TNA.
I’m so sorry for my english, I’m brazilian

For a none wrestler Ashley could take crazy hits and falls!! That’s what I loved about her but yes because she didn’t receive proper training she got hurt so many times.. She broke so many bones. Lol
Love Ashley Massaro she gave my little sister her cap at a signing. Ill never forget that. I found that to be damn right great of Ashley :)
I have the most respect and love for Massaro and I used to have a huge crush on her in high school lol
