Get this week’s Diva news rounded up… with commentary! This week we discuss TNA Knockout drama, Lita’s WWE snub, WrestleMania weather, Candice’s injury, the SmackDown! Diva contest and much more!
• Maria: “I’m Still a Baby†– Maria spoke to the Winnipeg Sun, touching on a (uncomfortable) array of topics, jumping from an encounter with her father to discussing how Playboy has pursued her since she was a teenager. In a possible sign of coercion, (In the WWE? No way!) Maria claimed that “They approached me again and I turned them down again, but WWE came to me two weeks later and said it would be good for me to do it.†Yay for feminism!

Erin – Sounds about right to me. I love how the annual Playboy storyline centers on the “It’s my choice!†mantra, and behind the scenes, they couldn’t contradict themselves more. Does “good for you†translate to “it’ll make you slightly relevant for a few weeks� Because someone needs to tell them that Playboy’s past its sell date and it’s not really worth the effort anymore.
Melanie – The amount of press Maria has been doing lately is kind of mind-numbing. WWE has really pushed for Maria’s Playboy media-wise, as opposed to Ashley last year. Maybe because no one has a clue what Ashley says half the time? Either way, I can’t wait for this debacle to be over so Maria can sit her ass back down.
