More news!
- The UK Sun has an interview up with Ricky Hatton, discussing guest hosting Raw and the fact that Hulk Hogan is his favorite wrestler. You can read that interview here.
- Speaking of guest hosting Raw, The Baltimore Sun interviewed Stacy Keibler recently. In the interview she discussed why she cannot work for TNA, and that he management reached out to WWE to see if they would be interested in Keibler hosting Raw. They never got back to her. You can check out that interview here.
- Tajiri has opened up a new website, which you can see here. Just a warning, it's in Japanese.
- Northeast Wrestling will run on November 13th in Waterbury, CT and Saturday the 14th in Washingtonville, NY.

For more information on the weekend events, head over to northeastwrestling.com.
Well Stacy, you won that presitgious "Biggest Baltimore Celebrity" award. And it had nothing to do with wrestling fans flooding the site with votes, not at all. Don't feel bad about not hosting Raw. I'm sure you'll be busy, umm, doing whatever the hell is is you do. Like showing up to any party that is willing to shell out the cash to have the "honor" of your presence.
All jokes aside, this should tell you how useless this chick is. WWE will bring in has-been actors and many athletes many people haven't heard of, but they have no interest in her. You can't say it's because they are jealous of her success, because she has now just become another Maxim skank.
Going by recent photos of her, she's hit the wall in terms of looks as well. It's all downhill from here. Don't worry Stacy. I'm sure you have a couple more years of being one of the most overrated women on the planet. Then once the plastic surgery kicks in, all the horny guys that still pretend you are relevant will move on to the latest bimbo of the month.

That's kinda stupid, not having her host Raw in her home town. But Vince is a genius. Look at great storylines of the last 5 years.
Posted By: Guest#1299 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 05:14 PM
Seriously? WWE can find time for Jimmy Fallon and can't return a call to Stacey?
Let me tell you, WWE, that beautiful women with long legs sells to every demographic that would ever watch wrestling. Unfunny men who can't get a line straight, not so much.

WWE has invited every host so far. It's kind of sad that Stacy had to call them just to see if they were interested. When WWE doesn't think your big enough to host Raw, you know your career is dead.
It's all been downhill for Stacy since WCW closed. She was never half as hot in WWE as she was as "Ms.Hancock". She's looking pretty average nowadays. Better take the Playboy offer while it's still on the table. At this stage, it's about the one last hurrah she can have.

Stacy Keibler is a beautiful woman, but I don't know whether or not I approve of her guest hosting Monday Night Raw. I mean, she's not exactly Trish Stratus.
Posted By: Dwayne (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 06:03 PM
Thank god somebody said this. In terms of charisma, talent, intelligence, class,and yes, looks as well:
Trish Stratus>>>>>>>Stacy Keibler
And for those that didn't believe that before, look at any recent shot of Stacy. She's looking "blah" now. And then look at Trish, especially since she became a brunette. She's aging like a fine wine.
But I think I know why WWE wants nothing to do with Stacy. It's not because she's a has-been. Many of their hosts are has-beens, over never-weres. I don't know where you can find it online, but I remember an interview with her from not too long after she left WWE. She basically buried the company, calling them a traveling freak show, and saying that the only person in the company that made money was HHH. Vince probaly never forgot that, and she was never enough of a draw where he would just suddenly forgive that. I think Trish is the only woman that could get away with saying that, but she never would. WWE treats her like a queen, why would she fuck that up? I'd say when it comes to Keibler, WWE got the last laugh.

Yeah, why let Kiebler host? She's only one of the hottest Divas ever and actually knows a little something about the business. I suppose she wanted to host the same week WWE scheduled Pauly Shore for.
Posted By: Zingy (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 06:12 PM
That's fine WWE. If you don't want Stacy Keibler, she can come work for me.
Posted By: Guest#5726 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 06:29 PM
They probably turned her down, because they realised that the stupid Bella Twins (their gimmick is accompanying the guest hosts every week) would be shown up for how average looking they really are, next to a classy lady like Stacy Keibler.
She didn't burn bridges with WWE or anything did she?
Posted By: Guest#5751 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 08:12 PM
Good, Stacy deserves to get snubbed after she basically cast aside the WWE after her run on Dancing with the Stars. She thought she was gonna be some big star and all she's done since was have a guest spot on the George Lopez show, some mini-series on ABC Family, a couple other shows that got canceled and appear at every D-list party in Hollywood. Try and get a guest spot in 'V', chick.
Posted By: Guest#9249 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 07:06 PM
LOL Guess shows how pathetic she is. She says wrestling was like being with a circus and now you want to host the circus
Posted By: Guest#8074 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 07:18 PM
Not sure if its that surprising that the WWE wouldn't necessarily want Stacy Keibler. After all, didn't she kind of abandon the WWE after she was in Dancing with the Stars?

John Waters should host in Baltimore.
Posted By: King Haku (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 07:55 PM
Man fuck that. I want to see beautiful Stacy and those long legs again. She puts all of the current Divas to shame anyway. All of them are just the same to me (except for maybe Beth and Natalya).
Posted By: Guest#1280 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 08:09 PM
I don't blame WWE for not wanting Stacy. What does she really offer at this stage of the game? She can't wrestle, she can't act, she can't talk. She's basically just an older version of Kelly. Might as well just stick with the current eye candy you have.
Posted By: Guest#4500 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 08:17 PM
Stacy got turned down because I'm hosting the week their in Baltimore.
Posted By: Paul Roma (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 08:17 PM

Posted By: Guest#5726 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 06:29 PM
That's how she makes money nowadays. You got the money, she's got the time.
Posted By: Guest#1246 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 08:38 PM
Let me get this straight: McMahonagement would rather have a talentless C-level celebrity NO ONE has ever heard of absolutely BUTCHER an episode of RAW than let Stacy Keibler host?
They think Stacy Keibler, a former WWE DIVA who is actually SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR with their product, would actually do A WORSE JOB than ZiZi Top, that celeb who called Summer Slam "Summer Fest", or Al "X-Pac Heat" Sharpton?
No, it wouldn't be as good as the Bob Barker "The Price is RAW" episode or next week's MSG episode with Rowdy Roddy Piper, but McMahonagement could do (and has done... and will do SEVERAL times again) MUCH WORSE than Stacy Keibler.
Posted By: Guest#0896 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 08:52 PM
How funny that nearly every single chick that leaves WWE suddenly bashes the company. And then when their "next big career" dries up, they suddenly want back in. I'm with the people that call Stacy Keibler overrated. No talent skank, easily replacable.

Posted By: Guest#5751 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 08:12 PM
Stacy Keibler a classy lady? Since when? Her whole career was built off showing her ass and legs to everyone. Her ego is pretty fucking big for somebody that has crashed and burned in Hollywood. She's just another wannabe starlet, that couldn't make it on her own.
And yeah, she did burn her bridge with WWE. As some others have mentioned, she couldn't wait to distance herself from the company as soon as she got Dancing with the Stars. ABC gave her a contract, but once she opened her mouth and they realised what wrestling fans already knew, that she's a terrible actor, they pretty much stopped giving her roles.
Basically, the things that some people accuse Rock of doing, putting down wrestling and acting superior to it, she does. Without the success to get away with it.
Posted By: Guest#8585 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 08:58 PM
It's amazing that Stacy Keibler really thought she would make it in Hollywood as an actress. The girl sucks at everything outside of showing off her legs. This one won't end well.
Posted By: Guest#7238 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 09:04 PM
Oh no, how could they turn down Stacy!!! How am I ever going to get my fix of no talent blondes that week?
Posted By: Guest#8339 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 09:10 PM
Thank god they turned down Stacy. I'm so sick of these skinny blondes walking around, acting like they own the place.
Posted By: Michelle McCool (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 09:23 PM
If you recall, Stacy did not have nice things to say when she left WWE. I also don't think they were entirely thrilled with her doing Dancing with the Stars, as she had to skip some WWE obligations at the time. It's not a real surprise they're holding a grudge. Think about it, do they ever even feature her in any past footage? They air more footage of Chris Benoit than Stacy at this point.
Posted By: RDog (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 09:30 PM
She might have burnt a bridge or two, but it's certainly not on the same level as what Chyna did. She fucking hates Vince McMahon with vengeance and can't seem to stop talking about Triple H.
Posted By: Guest#0935 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 09:41 PM
Don't get me wrong, I like Stacy and I enjoyed her run in the WWF, but I don't like her enough to want to see her guest hosting Raw.
Posted By: Dwayne (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 09:41 PM
I agree with WWE. When Trish hosted (Though it was a good show) the crowd wasn't exactly eating out of her hands and she's considered the Queen of all divas by most fans. Stacy was never anything special. She's cute, didn't get unnecessary fake tits but other than that she's not very interesting.
Posted By: Guest#6577 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 09:50 PM
lmao Stacy classy? Better than all the divas? Please, yeah she's cute but suddenly she began acting as if WWE was some unpleasant phase in her life.
All she did was show off her ass and legs, yeah that's great and all but you can get more out of Google. She had no talent plain and simple.
She was a waste of space

Posted By: Guest#6577 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 09:50 PM
This is pretty much it in a nutshell. Trish was passable as a host, although it was weird having such a dead crowd. They didn't pop for anything that night. If Trish wasn't so drop dead gorgeous, the show would have been unwatchable.
Now picture having somebody that is not as beautiful as Trish(outside of her legs), not as talented as Trish, and not as charismatic as Trish. That's what Stacy Keibler would be like as a host.
I'm not even sure WWE fans would know her anymore. The guys that read Maxim would, but the average kid in attendance? I doubt it. WWE considers Trish one of the icons of the Attitude Era, sort of like the female Stone Cold or Rock. Stacy was just one of the many pieces of eye candy of her time. Trish hasn't been replaced yet, probaly never will be. Stacy was replaced as soon as they did the first diva search. Big diffrence. I don't see how anybody could really care either way if she hosted or not.
Posted By: Guest#6531 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 10:27 PM
after dancing with the stars she considered wrestling as beneath her it called karma bitch
Posted By: Guest#7272 (Guest) on November 11, 2009 at 11:04 PM
First off, the anti-Stacy contigent is dead-on. She was just another piece of eye-candy (ass-candy?) that was untalented and thought she was gonna be hot **** on DWTS. Nobody gave a crap after and she has nothing to do.
But the IWC needs to stop the "guest hosts are has-beens and never-weres". Now obviously you cant get a winner every week (Freddie, Jr.), but Big Ben, Shaq, Jeremy Piven, Bob Barker, Snoop, Floyd, these are all very relevant pop culture people. Even when they have someone like the Access Hollywood hosts and Al Sharpton, it's less for the ratings draw and more for aiding those people's charity work and bringing attention to it (similar to the SMNE thing for Jenny McCarthy's autism foundation). The guest host deal gets them positive mainstream publicity and helps them out on the PR side. And about 90% of the hosts are rather relevant people in entertainment or sports, so I think the IWC needs to stop the "has-beens" crap just because theyre not getting 51 weeks of RAW where Bischoff stacks the deck against the resideny babyface.
Posted By: Guest#4718 (Guest) on November 12, 2009 at 02:24 AM
l agree with most here...stacy chose to bash the WWE...now shes interested in hosting? forget it stacy...you made those statements..now be big enough to deal with the fallout.As far as "relevant pop culture people" go...bob barker has been retired almost three years now, and he was on tv waaaay too long.the thing barker was known for the last 20 years on tv was being a bigger pervert than jerry lawler. Jeremy Piven...l'll bet 90% of the people here never heard of him before he hosted raw.
Posted By: the one (Guest) on November 12, 2009 at 03:22 AM
Vince is just pissed that Stacy wouldn't blow him like the rest of his Divas do.
Posted By: Coach (Guest) on November 12, 2009 at 06:51 AM
Wow. A lot of hate here that's waaaaay out of proportion to what Stacy did or did not do. I can't imagine why a bunch of IWC types would have so much bile for an attractive woman. Nope, can't figure that at all...
Posted By: Canucklehead (Guest) on November 12, 2009 at 10:08 AM
Is the guest host position comparable to Murder She Wrote, The Love Boat or Fantasy Island?
As soon as you received a call to show up on one of those shows, you knew your career was over.
