Post Christy Hemme

Hello! Did anyone find out what ever happened to Christy Hemme? (Why she got released, that is) I saw on the WWE website that she got released recently and I was curious as to why she was. She was actually one of my WWE divas, and I was very shocked when I read there that she got released. So anyways - if anyone knows, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

They did the same with her as all the tough enough winners. Kept her around long enough to build her as an interactive superstar chosen by the fans, then cut her before they had to pay out on her huge ass contract. Same will happen with Ashley sooner or later and Matt Hardy will post in his diary how unfair life is. Christy will probably be back sooner or later, now that WWE can uncut the huge upside guarentee she had.

I doubt she'll be back actually. I really liked her. Hemme, Stacy Keibler and Trish are the only women that stand out. Victoria used to until they turned her face.

She signed a new contract before they released her. I think Shane was fucking her.

Except they didn't do this with her. I'm sure a lot of people have speculated that this was the case, but it's really not.

NoDQ.com > WWE > Christy Hemme Reveals Why She Was Released
Posted by Steve Carrier on 12/20/2005 at 08:19 PM

Today on Christy Hemme's official website, she posted the following:

Hello everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who has and is still supporting me. Even though the partnership with WWE and I did not end very will (sic), I am truly thankful for the experience. All I can say at this time to clear up some of the rumors, there was no battle over money. Money was never my motivation for working. Truth is that I was completely dedicated to the company and believed in everything I was doing. I trusted it. I was willing to put my personal life aside to give everything I had to what I was doin and become better wrestler/performer. I was told that I was a budget cut and creatively they didn't have anything for me. I am very disappointed in the WWE, where I learned a very important lesson. I am a very determined person with a huge amount of engery for my life and my career. Everything happens for a reason and anything that has happened in my life that has knocked me down has only built me back up stronger. I feel stronger than ever and I am hungry for this huge future before me. Again, THANK YOU soooo much to everyone who has believed in me and is supporting me.

WWE requested Christy to relocate to Louisville, Kentucky to to train in Ohio Valley Wrestling. She later then got a call saying she was released.

I don't buy that it was a budget reason at all. Crying poverty to the talent when Vince McMahon's personal annual dividend just went from $23.5 million to $47 million is a pile of shit. I'm sure the truth will come out, but budgetary reasons is a cop-out (not that Christy is lying, but Johnny Ace sure as hell is).

Technically, it's legit. They slash the budget to maintain high profit margins, like any other entertainment biz...

I mean heaven forbid they keep a diva who is actually EAGER to improve as a wrestler so much that she is willing to relocate in order to train.

I guess she should've just saved the time and effort and just have been in a commercial during the Super Bowl and then do the same thing from said commercial for the next year.

The ridiculously PC part of the country raised a fuss about the advert, just because it was coming off all the controversy the year before with Janet Jackson, so people do what they always do whenever something small and insignificant happens - they pissed and moaned. And because Vince hates the media...here we are.

I'm not saying there is no budget, but saying that's the reason they fired her is ridiculous with the amount of cash they have, and how small her contract would likely be in comparison. And if it is a matter of firing people to get down to a budget, how about Snitsky, Road Warrior Animal and Scotty 2 Hotty? Not that I want to see people fired, but in terms of usefulness and marketability, Christy has more upside than a lot of people still employed.

I'd love that conversation...

Johnny Ace: "Gene, I'm sorry, but you're fired."
Snitsky: "Why Johnny?"
Johnny Ace: "It's a budgetary situation, we need to clear some of the roster in order to be in a good financial situation"
Snitsky: "So....it's not my fault."

Have you SEEN what some of the record execs make?

It helps when you actually CHARGE your artists to make videos, charge them for touring expenses, basically nickel and dime them to death. While prices are at record (pardon the pun) highs, they are suing for imense losses, and still making more than ever.

MPAA execs are pretty similar.

I don't know about TV or other similar venues, but considering just how many execs do more or less the same thing as vince between music and film, I'd say it's not all that uncommon.

I definitely don't condone it, mind.
