Welcome to Hit or Miss?! We’ll be examining the week’s news bits and deeming them hits or misses. For instance, did a Diva develop some backstage heat? That’s a miss. What about a Knockout match receiving the highest ratings of the show? That’s a hit. I’ll rate each story by stars (out of 5) – more stars for a hit, less for a miss. Got it? Let’s dive in..
Story #1: Ashley is a Rebel
Ashley Massaro has been outed 
as a frequent no-show at her recent public appearances. One promoter felt obligated to blast her carelessness online:
On behalf of myself and my company I would like to apologize to all the fans that anticipated seeing Ashley. As you all know, she pulled another one of her now classic no shows. If some of you weren’t aware Ashley was to appear late saturday night in Atlantic City with her agent and 3 other Playboy playmates. Her agent and the 3 playmates all showed and stayed in the Crowne Plaza, being inconvenienced because they had to sacrifice for the quote on quote wrestling star. As I’m writing this Ashley has still not returned a phone call to myself or her agent stating why she decided to not get on the plane Friday night. I urge fans and other promoters to not support her in the future and make her realize that it is a privilege to be hired to come to conventions not a right she has coming to her.
Looks like this is more than a one-time thing. Does Ashley just enjoy playing hooky? (See the original post.)
Rating:
Hit or Miss?: 1 star makes it a MISS. To be honest, the only reason this story got any stars at all was the amusement derived from it. The fact that she’s hardly a Diva Dirt favorite makes the news that much sweeter. If this is a recurring thing (which is sounds like), then there’s no excuse. Ashley is simply unprofessional and possibly immature in her actions, and hopefully she’ll soon be out of luck and unable to cash in on the mediocre name she made for herself in her short WWE tenure. Stop hiring her, folks.
Story #2: The Halloween Costume Contest returns (hide your children!).
This week, the matches for next week’s Cyber Sunday 
PPV were announced. Amongst the matches, two Diva events were listed:
• Choose which teams will go one-on-one in a Pick the Tag Team Match. Choose from one of the following matches:
– Tag Team Champs Cody Rhodes/Ted DiBiase vs. CM Punk/Kofi Kingston
– John Morrison/The Miz vs. Cryme Tyme
– Jamie Noble/Mickie James vs. William Regal/Layla
To vote for Jamie Noble & Mickie James vs. William Regal & Layla, TEXT 3 to 44993.• Beth Phoenix, Divas Champion Michelle McCool, Brie Bella, Candice Michelle, Eve, Jillian, Katie Lea Burchill, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Lena Yada, Maria, Maryse, Natalya, Tiffany, Victoria & Mickie James will compete in a Halloween Costume Contest. They’ll show off their creativity and fans will vote for the best costume.
So, in all likelihood there could be two Diva events in one night. That is, if you’re willing to part with a buck a pop to vote for Mickie and Layla’s match. (See the original post.)
Rating:
Hit or Miss?: 3 stars makes it a HIT. It’s always nice to see Diva involvement on a PPV, but it’s highly likely that Mickie and Layla’s match won’t be voted in. Therefore, all we’ll have is a costume contest. And, if last year’s contest is to be any indicator, it will be pretty lame. There’s always a chance that there could be entertaining and creative costumes, but I’d be willing to bet my life’s savings (take all $20 of it, I don’t care) on the fact that the majority of them will be cliche and trashy shit like Catwoman or “sexy” angels. Talk about overdone!
has announced many of its roster, the most surprising of which being Ashley Massaro, whom we all know was released from the WWE some time ago.. Hm.. I wonder how the *current* Divas who are MIA on this game feel about this? 
solely dedicated to its Knockouts. It featured interviews with each Knockouts, as well as behind-the-scenes looks at photoshoots and stories of their respective paths to TNA. Diva Dirt reviewed the DVD, and it didn’t exactly pass with flying colors.. The main complaint was that TNA seemed to be more concerned with elevating their Knockouts above the Divas – it came across as arrogant and cocky. That, paired with empty and less-than-inspired chapters on each Knockout made us wonder if the DVD was even necessary.
