He must not have been able to get all up in her guts, just got past the gates.

do we really need a draft when both world champs wrestle on both show and the world tag champs are involved in THREE separate fueds on each show?

I honestly couldn't care less about Trish Stratus or her opinion anymore.

Trish didn't have much to say
Posted By: Kent Baker (Guest) on March 17, 2009 at 07:09 PM
Did she have to?

Wendi Richter has tuned down the WWE's invitation to be a part of the Divas Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV.
Talk about holding a grudge. I mean comon it was almost 25 years ago. A little one shot deal appearence never hurt anyone. Ask RVD.

You ever think maybe she had something else to do that day, and going to Houston to be out in the ring for three minutes in a business she's no longer involved with isn't on her list of priorities?
Posted By: Guest#1314 (Guest) on March 17, 2009 at 07:39 PM
Good, a draft. Maybe we'll see something different like HHH on Raw or Cena on Smackdown. Maybe they'll really stretch it and put Miz & Morrizon on all three brands.

Meethinks there needs to be separate tag team titles for each brand and a secondary title on ecw (tv title). It would make ecw a little more competitive and interesting considering it is lacking substance.

Que a bunch of dorks whining about how Bret Hart also can't let go of Montreal... Come on, you know you want to...

Trish's comment was one of those Myspace "headline" things, where she was probably limited on space.
Although, as someone else here said, there really isn't a reason she needs to go any further.
Posted By: Guest#8434 (Guest) on March 17, 2009 at 08:36 PM
First Debra isn't coming to the 25 Diva battle royal, then Lita, now Ritcher. They are running out of past divas.

And no one has ever cared about what you care or don't care about.

I clicked thru cuz I thought they meant ANDY Richter... thought it possible as he does factor into one of my more disturbing wrestling memories (rumble '00, if you don't know whatI'm talking about, its best you don't go looking *shudder*)
Posted By: the dude (Guest) on March 17, 2009 at 09:06 PM
Its kinda cute that Trish is now referring to herself in the third person
Posted By: the capn (Guest) on March 17, 2009 at 09:09 PM
Just like Bret Hart can't let go of Montreal.
BRET SCREWED BRET!

That would explain the odd "referring to oneself in the third person" sound of the comment.
Posted By: Guest#6933 (Guest) on March 17, 2009 at 09:37 PM
Y'know -- if she has her head on straight, Chyna would be a huge surprise.
If not, how about Madusa? Oh yeah, fat chance there. Stacey Kiebler? Jazz? Nidia? Jackie Haas? Ivory? The Kat? Luna?
C'mon -- there's got to be someone willing to job to Gail Kim.

Every diva that turns it down brings us one step closer to Bull Nakano killing 24 bitches dead.

Yes, exactly. Think about it this way - if your boss treated you like shit and humiliated you, then called 25 years later, would you go back? What for? Wendi sure as hell hasn't cared about wrestling in a long long time and I say good for her. She isn't destitute or anything and isn't willing to sell out her values for someone who spit in her face.
Suck it Vince, you reap what you sew, ya prick.

"Suck it Vince, you reap what you sew, ya prick."
Actually I believe it's spelled "you rape what you so." Look, it's science. Don't argue with it.

I guess vince could not get cindy lauper and captain lou to show up. why else would wendy not come?

more like Vinnie mac promised Wendy a $25 payoff and to be fucked over again

I'm sick and tired of listening to all these old stars from the 80s hold grudges against Vince McMahon.
Posted By: Dwayne (Guest) on March 18, 2009 at 12:52 AM
Normally I hate the WWE and everything they do. But you have to give the props, they actually tried to get something cool for the fans.
I don't give a fuck if Wendi still has a grudge, I want to see her in the same ring as Alundra Madusa Blaze, and Chyna and Trish. I want to see Lita and Molly Holly in there with Keibler and Torrie Wilson and the Kat.
Sunny vs Debra vs Sable.
Wrestling hasn't had any cool mark out moments in a long time.
I was alive and watched wrestling in the 80's. I remember Rock n Wrestling, and fucking Wendi Richter was the shit.
But she can't get over it? Fucking cunt.
She's a huge fat ass now anyway.

So we keep running out of divas for the battle royal and we're left with....The Jumping Bomb Angels destroying all....i'm for it!!!
Posted By: Steve (Guest) on March 18, 2009 at 02:23 AM
I think it'd be great if they got Luna Vachon for the Battle Royal at 'Mania.
Posted By: Devin (Guest) on March 18, 2009 at 07:31 AM
I'm starting to worry about the 25 Diva Battle Royal. So many names have apparently turned the WWE down that I wonder if they can even come up with 25!

Trish talks in 3rd person like the Rock now?
awesome.

I would like to offer my face to Trish Stratus' boobs. They are sorely missed in the spank bank.

Not really. It's actually "You rape what you saw."
Posted By: Guest#7059 (Guest) on March 18, 2009 at 04:01 PM
It's irrelevant which Diva, outside of Trish Stratus (who has already agreed) accepts the WWE's offer. They will get enough to fill the spots.
Gail Kim is not winning this, she will be victim of the ol' "pulled out over the top rope by somebody already eliminated" routine to set up her initial feud.
This Battle Royal exits for three reasons:
1. Reward the Divas with a WM payout
2. Crown Trish Stratus 'Ms. Wrestlemania'
3. Filler between two big matches
