“Why now?”
Shantelle Taylor was asking me why now, of all times, I had finally decided to pursue my dream of being a ring announcer. I thought about it for a minute and then told her, “Because now I have the opportunity.” But I’m not completely sure that was the entire answer. Truth is I still don’t know exactly “why now”. I mean, why didn’t I try this years ago? I’ve always wanted to get involved in professional wrestling…so what was holding me back? Really, why now?
I guess one day I just woke up and realized “Hey, I’m 37, if not now…when? I’m not getting any younger. Am I going to let this dream just disappear forever?”
DivaMania has announced its first stop, exclusively to Diva Dirt.
By now you may have heard that there will be a line-up change. The tour was originally due to feature the trio of Jillian Hall, Maria Kanellis and Taryn ‘Tiffany’ Terrell. However, as she has just announced her pregnancy, Jillian has opted to pull out of the tour.
Former WWE Diva Search winner, Ashley Massaro will now replace Jillian.
Plus, former WWE Diva and current TNA Knockout, Winter aka Katie Lea will be the special guest on the first tour stop.
Get all the details on the first date:
Former WWE Diva, Maria Kanellis has responded to criticism that she isn’t passionate about professional wrestling.
Writing on her Facebook page, Kanellis wrote:
I want to make a comment about the wrestling world because a lot of people are saying that I’m not passionate about wrestling because I am not still trying to wrestle. I was completely in love with wrestling and would have done it for the rest of my life if it had a retirement/family plan and fulfilled me creatively.

Diva Dirt has had the chance to sit down with some of the most popular and most talented females in the wrestling industry over the past couple of years. Producing high quality, lengthy audio interviews with your favourite women of wrestling has been our forte and we’ve delivered some pretty darn great ones!
As both Allison Danger and Kristin Astara are taking a well deserved break this week from their audio shows, we thought we’d take a look back at some of our best audio interviews! Perhaps you haven’t heard them before or are just new to Diva Dirt? Even if you have heard them, it’s always fun to listen again.
Here’s Volume 1 of our best interviews…
Conducted in April 2010, we had the opportunity to chat with Kong in one of her first post-TNA interviews. This interview took place just a week before the former Knockouts Champion made her return to Ring of Honor in May against Sara Del Rey. As feared as a competitor she may be, we can attest that Kong is one of the most genuinely friendly and polite people in the industry, as you’ll be able to tell from our chat!
In fact, we had such a good time with Kong that we invited her back a few weeks later for the Women of Wrestling Podcast too.
