Diva most Disliked by other Contestants

On tonight's Raw, the Diva contestants were asked who they would eliminate if they had a vote. Every Diva chose Carmella DeCesare, Playmate of the Year, 2004. They all said she didn't want it as much as the others. Carmella tried hard to hide her hurt feelings, but you could see the pain in her eyes.

The audience elimined Michelle McCool. My pick, Maria Kanellis, aka Miss Outback Jack, is still in the running!

Here is a good, albeit, small website for The Mayor. Check out his experience section. This is a good model for independent wrestlers who want to showcase their resume and increase bookings.
Future of Wrestling Website Review

I spent some time on the "Future of Wrestling" website. They have a great positioning statement on their home page. In two short paragraphs, they manage to brag on themselves and let you know they have a hard nose, Mick Foley type of wrestling promotion.

Take a look at pictures of Punisher, Maximum Capacity, and Albino. They have a marketable look.


Some of the links are broken, and some of their content is old (read 2002), but they have a good layout and every major topic (merchandise, news, events, etc.) is one click away.

By the way, booker Bobby Rogers is the man who tried to sell his kidney on Ebay.
