As noted late last night here on the website, it is believed that
Candice Michelle's less than stellar appearance at the television
tapings in Los Angeles a few weeks ago ultimately sealed her fate with
company officials. She had not been seen since WrestleMania, but when
she arrived at the shows in Los Angeles, she didn't look "Diva like,"
and there were those who felt she was ready to leave the company and
move on. She told officials she was just about ready to return from
her latest injury, but they gave very little leeway because she is a
woman and there is a weight issue. The impression on her was always
that she wasn't someone with a naturally thin body, and that she had
to work very hard to look the way she did, and when you get older,
fighting those genetics gets much harder. Several photos of a much
heavier Candice Michelle have been posted online and she does not look
very good at all. In a company where the women are primarily there for
their looks, some felt she didn't have that look anymore, so they
decided to let her go.
A few wrestling stars have reacted online to Candice Michelle's
release from World Wrestling Entertainment:
* Jim Ross via the Q&A section on his official website: "She's smart
and has made many contacts and has a successful husband so I see her
life as being really good. There actually is life after wrestling."
(in response to the following question: "Hey, JR with the news about
Candice Michelle's release, I was wondering what do you think the
future holds for her?")
* WWE Diva Maria via Twitter: "I wish Candice all the best!! She is a
beautiful sexy women and has so much ahead of her!! Kisses for her!"
* Former WWE Diva Shelly Martinez via Twitter: "BTW I really like
Candice Michelle, I wish I had a way to contact her. She is too good
for WWE!!"
* Former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro via Twitter: "Sorry to hear about
that sh*& girly im sending direct mess w my num if u wanna vent xoxo"
(directing a tweet to Candice)
* WWE Diva Layla via Twitter: "cuz how would I know that? Yes love
candice but she is happy was ready for a change ....that's my friend
so don't be she isnt" (in response to a tweet)
I guess Kong can forget it.
Um.. she looks fine. Besides, she's supposed to be a WRESTLER! Do
they fire the guys for gaining a couple of pounds?
A WRESTLER can have a solid build, it actually makes them more
believable.
Ummmmm... what?! (n. Austin)
I'll assume the people thinking she looks fat in those photos have never
actually met a real live women.
Just because she hasn't got washboards abs and looks vaguely human and
actually alive they sacked her?
Chris Jericho looks like that but he hasn't been fired has he?
So...what's their excuse for the horse?
/thought Inc would've gotten this one. :)

She's been in the doghouse due to her weight gain
Well you don't want to close the barn door after the horse is gone
Yeah really. It may be just me but a person with a stronger looking
build is more credible as a wrestler, isn't that what WWF/WWE doctrine
has been the past 20+ years?
