Isis the Amazon Signs with WWE
DivaDirt.com is confirming Isis the Amazon has signed with WWE:
A reliable source tells Diva Dirt that Isis is indeed part of the FCW roster after being spotted with FCW staff and talent at last Friday’s event in Fort Myers.
Diva Dirt first broke the news that the 6’9″ wrestler was possibly signed by WWE last Friday. At the time, Isis’ representative Brad Konia told us: “We still can’t offer any comment.”
Isis joins the ranks of Christina Crawford (Alicia Fox’s sister) and Ricki Vaughn as the newest female developmental signings.
Maybe God Could Pick Another Form of Entertainment
Eddie, Test, Umaga, Lance, Trent Acid, Chris Kanyon, Luna Vachon, J.C. Bailey. There are others and there will be more. I am absolutely addicted to this business. I don't wrestle and don't want to. I'm not a promoter and don't want to be. I don't book matches and am not qualified to do so. I'm just a fan. I have been to local indy shows with a few hundred people and to sold out WWE shows at the Verizon Center. Big, small, CHIKARA, ROH, Puroresu, Lucha Libre, I watch it all. And even though it isn't politically correct, I'm a die-hard Terra Ryzin/Jean-Paul Levesque/Hunter Hearst Helmsley/Triple H fan. (yeah that long) Just a small request to the Ultimate Booker upstairs, please stop taking our young wrestlers that are just getting started. Please stop taking our veterans that have left the spotlight and joined us "regular" people. There are other forms of entertainment. Not that I want to see actors or musicians die, but things are definetly one-sided. I'm just very sad today...

Vince McMahon Comments on John Cena's Rise to the Top
“You have to start with the quality of the human being,” McMahon told the Herald. “John is an extraordinary human being; he’s honest, he’s loyal.
“He’s full of himself, too,” McMahon added, laughing. “But he’s like a throwback to the type of individual it’s difficult find these days, someone with old-fashioned values. In addition to that, he’s a Neanderthal when it comes to strength.”
Then McMahon held a meeting with his performers, saying he was looking for someone who was ready to reach for the brass ring.
“Step on people on the way over if you have to,” he recalled saying. “Apologize later. I’m looking for someone with courage that wants to break out and be ballsy enough to take on the responsibility of being the top guy. “At the end of the meeting, someone came over and said, ‘I’m your man,’ and that was John.”...More?
