WWE.com is reporting that Diva Layla is retiring from the company and from pro wrestling. Layla issued the following message to fans: "I’d like to tell WWE Universe “Thank you” for always being loyal to me. They’ve seen me through my good times and in my bad times. In one of the first interviews when I won the Diva Search, I said to the fans, “I won’t let you down,” and I truly feel like I can walk away saying I have attained anything that any Diva was able to attain. I was in the first-ever Divas Tables Match [at WWE TLC 2010]. I was the first Diva Search winner to win both championships — the Women’s Title and the Divas Title. I was able to be in LayCool, which was the highlight of my career. I am just blessed in every way. I feel like I have done everything that I would possibly have done with WWE, so I’m walking away a very happy camper and I hope everyone else is happy with my decision, too. Thanks to WWE for giving me this amazing opportunity that has been nine

Dwayne Johnson ( The Rock) teams up with funny man, Kevin hart for CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE. (Yaayyy!!!) Hey, if anyone can bring out the Jokester in 'THE ROCK' , it definitely has to be Kevin Hart. No kidding :) Lookee here, Kevin Hart is one funny dude. Having him just stand next to 'The Rock' is certainly humorous. There's over a foot in height difference between them. Wow. I'm excited to watch the movie. Super excited. :)   What's up in da hood, guys :)     

Hollywood stars sure really dig WWE Superstars. Quite recently, Mark Wahlberg, Joe Manganiello, Gabriel Iglesias and more celebrities hooked up with WWE Superstars backstage as they attend WWE Live @ the Staples centre in L.A. Hmmmm.... sounds like fun :) Ooooooohhhh Yeeeeaaaaaah, Dig It :)

Hey, Hulkamaniacs. I'm afraid I've some really bad news. Y"all up for it? See, WWE terminated its contract with Hulk Hogan ( Terry Bollea). The WWE  would not comment as to why it laid off Hogan.... However,  TMZ reports that the wrestler was fired for using the N- word. ( You gotta be kiddin' me. Hulk Hogan ain't no racist. I'm a huge fan. I mean, he's a real cool dude.... I ain't buying this crap. Nah.) TMZ reports that Hulk was fired for using the N-word to describe the man involved with his daughter,  Brooke, in a leaked transcript of a sextape that is the centre of a multi-million dollar lawsuit with the gossip site, GAWKER. What's more,  Hogan, 61, has been removed from the WWE website too. When you search for him on the site, he's no longer listed on the WWE HALL OF FAME PAGE & all of his merchandise has been removed from the WWE shop. 

Domestic violence is a serious issue, not just in the United States, but everywhere. The United Nations defines violence against women as "any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life." Intimate partner or even sexual violence has serious short and long-term effects on people. These can include health problems for the victim and possibly, their children. So when Ronda Rousey called out Floyd Mayweather Jr., following her win for "Best Fighter" at the ESPYs, we saluted her. For those who don't know, Mayweather has a long history of domestic violence. Since 2002, he has been accused of violence against women. However, he has pleaded guilty in two of those incidents and in another, he was convicted, only to have the charges dismi

                  Elizabeth Ann Hulette (November 19, 1960 – May 1, 2003), best known as Miss Elizabeth, was an American professional wrestling manager. She gained international fame from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s in the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE), and the mid-1990s in World Championship Wrestling in her role as the manager to wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage. She died as a result of a drug and alcohol overdose on May 1, 2003 in the home she shared with wrestler, Lex Luger. ( Come to think of it, what's been happenin' to Lex Luger? Where's he at? :) Miss Elizabeth first appeared in WWE  in 1985 as the shocking managerial choice of ' Macho Man' Randy Savage.  Always classy & poised. She possessed an innocent demeanor, which won the hearts of WWE Fans & competitors( Macho Man didn't like this one lil' bit :) Anyways,  Miss Elizabeth undoubtedly created a legacy that paved the way for the Divas of today.  Rest In

Former WWE Diva, Candice Michelle just had a new baby. :) So happy for youuuuu, hon.

Look In My Eyes/ What D'you See/ Cult Of Personality..../  Oopsie... I kinda got carried away right there :). I know a lot of #WWE Fans are wondering where CM Punk is, What happened to him.. Blah. Blah. Blah. I wondered too. I'm a huge fan of CM Punk. Missed him :( Phillip Jack Brooks ( CM Punk) is a native of Chicago. He became a major figure in WWE , the nation's largest pro-wrestling organisation( Hi, WWE :) ) Punk held The World Heavyweight title for 434 days- one of the longest reigns in WWE history. In January 2014, CM Punk left WWE, months before his contract was slated to expire due to health issues and the overall direction of the company. The story that is pretty rife right now is  CM Punk making his debut in UFC. An official date for CM Punk's debut is still not set. But the former WWE  superstar says he's hopeful it could happen before the end of the year. CM Punk, BEST IN THE WORLD!!!! :)

Nikki Bella is the current WWE Divas Champion.  She's had the belt for 227 days ( as of July 9th 2015) as opposed to AJ Lee's record 295 day reign.  She's currently injured. Nikki Bella is taking part in competitions with a partially separated shoulder ( omgg! That sure would hurt like crazy). The injury is causing the WWE Divas Champ lots of pain and discomfort ( sorry, hon!) However, won't require her to forfeit the Championship. (Yes!Yes!Yes!:) SHE'S DEFINITELY ABLE TO WORK THROUGH IT :) . She competed, recently, against Paige & Tamina Snuka ( The Warrior Princess) at WWE's The Beast In The Beast. Nikki is a whole lot more athletic and smoother in the ring than she used to be.  #thatsthespirit. #FearlessNikki.

Yeah, right. Both girls are good pals now. Hi Paige! Hi Aj! :)

Entrance themes are used to alert the audience to the immediate arrival of a wrestler & to increase anticipation.  I'm sure y'all have favorites theme songs.  I do :).
