I just read online that my fellow "Tough Enough" finalist Nidia got "enhancement surgery," and that's why she was taken off TV. Of course I can't confirm this, but it doesn't seem too outlandish to me. I'm very happy for you Nidia, although it's too bad now when we hang out you'll make me look as flat chested as I truly am. While I will miss the ( Read more... )

How many times can I pull this disappearing act until no one cares when I’ve gone, and fewer when I’ve returned? I apologize yet again for my absence and abstinence. There is no autumn in Florida, palm trees don’t yellow, orange, or brown. I can’t wait to go back to Washington for Thanksgiving so I can finally see that it truly is October. I’m ( Read more... )

I feel so terrible for constantly neglecting my journal. If some of you busy folks can find it within yourselves to update almost every day, or even almost every week, why can’t I? I guess because I assume you all don’t care much about the in’s and out’s of my mundane days. Or at the very least, they don’t make enough of an impact to compel me to ( Read more... )

You all live such incredible and active lives...I wish I could say the same for myself. I'm trying to save money to go to a school in Orlando, and learn how to do movie make-up and effects. I know it's a strange career path but it's something that has always intrigued me and seems much more conducive to leading a "normal" life without so much ( Read more... )

I apologize yet again for the long hiatus between journal updates. But professional wrestling has become an increasingly depressing topic for me in the previous weeks and months. I truly do feel terrible for doing so little in the last year with the opportunity I was so fortunate to receive from the WWE from Tough Enough. Especially when I see ( Read more... )

Firstly, I would like to congratulate the Smackdown roster for putting on a fantastic pay-per-view last night. While I think the Smackdown brand should steer clear of women’s wrestling as very few of the women there would even consider themselves wrestlers, but despite that the show was incredible. I’m surprised the Haas/Benjamin and Misterio/ ( Read more... )

I noticed that the Smackdown crew is heading out on a tour of Japan. As someone who spent a few months wrestling in Japan, I learned quite a bit about Japanese culture and daily life. I figured this forum gives me a great opportunity to pass along a bit of what I learned, mainly things I wish I knew before heading over there ( Read more... )

I truly abhor the summer here in Florida, it is one of the few things that has made me yearn for Washington. If only all the tourists that came to visit in these months took notice to how many cars with Florida license plates can be see heading to the places they just left. I spend my days now in bed, curtains drawn, and lights off. I want to leave ( Read more... )

I saw something that really spoke volumes about the state of women's wrestling in the WWE tonight on Heat. During a mixed tag match with Goldust and Trish versus Steven Richards and Victoria, a short lived but very audible "We want puppies!" chant broke out in the Madison Square Garden crowd. This chant of course was not one heard by Wendi Richter ( Read more... )

From watching quite a bit of WWE programming as of late, I've noticed one odd trend, the abnormally large number of Smackdown brand wrestlers who use a fireman's carry based finisher. Brock Lesnar has the F5, John Cena has the FU (which I know was a play on the F5 but how many fans even remember the Lesnar/Cena feud with the breakneck speed in ( Read more... )
