– UK fitness model and TV host Carly Thornton, 30 years old, will be getting a tryout with WWE at the SmackDown tapings in Liverpool this November. She told The Basildon Recorder:
“If I get taken on by WWE, I will be off to Miami to do the training, and then I will go from there. It would be absolutely fantastic if I was offered a contract. I do like wrestling, I love all action sports. I have no experience of actual wrestling, but I’ve done boxing and mixed martial arts. I also went to drama school, so I am an entertainer. I have tried out for Gladiators in the past.”
– WWE.com posted the following today: WWE has come to terms on the release of The Miz and R-Truth as of today, Sept. 19, 2011. WWE wishes Miz and R-Truth the best in all of their future endeavors. Of course, this is all a storyline and is similar to what they did with Kevin Nash.

WWE Divas upset with Trish Stratus over WrestleMania spot
It was reported yesterday that there is backstage heat on John Morrison and Melina as a result of their behind the scenes treatment of Trish Stratus. It was claimed that either he or Melina, his girlfriend, felt Stratus took her spot at Wrestlemania XXVII. Morrison rejected various ideas Stratus had for the match and was said to be very difficult to work with. During the live performance, Morrison appeared visibly cold to Status, not making eye contact with her and dodging her following its conclusion. Morrison’s treatment of Stratus reportedly hurt her feelings. Word quickly spread amongst the locker room, garnering heat for both himself and Melina among some circles.
According to a friend of Melina’s, the RAW Diva is legitimately upset with Stratus. Melina has privately said that her source of contention with Stratus is not because she herself was snubbed from WrestleMania due to her, but because many of the Divas were. She’s upset that many of them were snubbed from the grand event when they’re on the road throughout the year, unlike her. Melina also said that she’s not the only girl upset with Stratus “taking their spot.”
Melina wrote a message on Twitter Tuesday defending her Diva peers, and that she will fight for them.
“I was eliminated from TE…Look how far I’ve come. I’m not the best but God knows I try my best! Thru all the h8 I’m still standing strong!”
“I don’t care what ANY1 says, WWE Divas CAN wrestle. We prove it when we get time. I believe in them. I will fight 4 them until U see what I C.”
“Thank you everyone. We have a strong group of women in the WWE. A roster that I’m proud to & be a part of.”
Regarding the validity of the story, former WWE talent Sean Waltman (a/k/a X-Pac), who was on hand for WrestleMania festivities in Atlanta, wrote yesterday on Twitter that a participant of the Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match did not behave in a professional manner. He wrote to Stratus, “It was wonderful seeing you this weekend. You are a true professional, unlike someone else in your match and I don’t mean Snookie.”
He then added that he was very surprised and disappointed by the person’s unprofessionalism.
WWE Diva Maryse tweets homophobic remark
Maryse said a homophobic remark late last night on Twitter, writing, “Ur sooo gay…….”
It appears the WWE Diva blundered sending a private message as it was directed to no one in particular on her timeline. The tweet was deleted a short while later.
WWE has come under fire from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in recent weeks, which took issue with ‘homophobic taunts’ John Cena directed towards Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on the February 28 episode of Monday Night RAW, as well as a homophobic slur Michael Cole tweeted to Josh Mathews on March 26. Cena’s unsavory verbiage prompted WWE to issue an apology and form a partnership with the organization on an anti-bullying campaign. WWE addressed Cole’s conduct by alerting GLAAD of the situation and announcing that he would partake in a training session.

Stacy Keibler speaks out (Video), Y2J/DWTS recap, More
– A source sent this report in: Chris Jericho danced again tonight on Dancing with the Stars. The theme of the evening was personal stories. The stars could choose a song that meant something to them. Chris chose The Beatles’ “Let It Be”. In the pre-taped piece, he told the story of his mother’s accident as he finished wrestling school that confined her to a wheelchair until her death in 2005. He prepared to give up wrestling but she insisted he continue to pursue his dream. He then said his real name is Chris Irvine and for the first time in 20 years in his professional life he would be performing as himself and not a character. The announcer introduced him for the dance as Chris Irvine. He danced a rumba with his partner Cheryl Burke and received a score of 21. The judges commented on some of the lack of technical skill but complimented the emotional connection and Chris moved one of the judges to tears.
– Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler says in the following video how she will appear on the new season of WWE Tough Enough and has a bit to say about The Rock’s appearance at WrestleMania XXVII…

Report: Snooki causes major WWE issues – drunk!
Source: PopTheCrowd.com
THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A **SPOILER** FOR THIS MONDAY’S RAW TELECAST:
As noted yesterday here on the website, WWE shot a major angle Wednesday at Miami Mike’s Sports Zone in East Hanover, New Jersey involving Nicole “Snooki” Polazzi, Trish Stratus and LayCool for this Monday’s RAW. The segment features LayCool searching the bar for Snooki and Stratus. The Jersey Shore star gets into a fight with a “guido” and then LayCool finds her, resulting in a bar-room brawl. Layla and Michelle McCool also went through a table at one point. Fit Finlay and David Kapoor (better known as Ranjin Singh) directed the segment.
In an update on this, filming was delayed from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. because Snooki didn’t leave her hotel room until 1:00 p.m. They shot until close to 8:00 p.m.
Snooki was said to have been drinking heavily throughout the day and was rude to people on set. She called the bartender a ‘weirdo’ and also said she was going to be a full-time WWE Diva once Jersey Shore is finished. She also said she was leaving to go bowling after the segment was finished taping and would return later for more drinks.

CM Punk pissed at NFL Star & Post-RAW news
– John Cena and Randy Orton def. WWE Champion The Miz and CM Punk with Michael Cole as special guest referee in a post-Monday Night Raw bonus match in Buffalo, New York. After the match, Cena mentioned they flew 15 hours to be at Raw tonight. He confirmed the sold out attendance as 16,700.
– CM Punk and Buffalo Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman engaged in a war of words yesterday on Twitter in regards to the NFL star encountering some WWE Divas during the Raw brand’s stay in Costa Rica. When reached for comment, The Straight Edge Superstar explained the matter to the Chicago Sun-Times.
“All I did was observe him walking around poolside, back and fourth, around in circles. I had no clue who he was, just knew that this guy was obviously trying to get noticed. When that didn’t work, he sent his publicist after the girls, which is the most lacking of testicles thing ever. That’s how we found out who he was.
“When THAT didn’t work I watched him run after them as they tried to leave. Dude clowned himself and all I did was report the facts and laugh about it. On the road, the WWE is a family. The divas are my sisters, and like any big brother, I don’t want creeps around my little sisters.”
