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!

Apparently no one but The Mc Mahons and upper management are in the know, make what you will of that.

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.

I guess WWE didn't want a wrestler, they just wanted her to stand around looking pretty.

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).

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. |

Yeah, I've never got the appeal of the GoDaddy bit.

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." |

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. |
