I'd forgotten about her.  Thanks for the addition!  I'd like to see Dawn 
Marie linked to Lance Storm.  They worked well together in ECW, why not 
here?  Oh, that's right.  If it worked somewhere else the WWE *HAS* to 
do it differently.

I don't consider Stacy or the girls on Smackdown to be wrestlers, but 
Divas who can do spots.

What was it?

I think it was someone's idea to give the Basham Brothers some gimmick.

Maybe Gayda's role in the WWE somehow accidentally is closer to what she 
did in OVW that Linda Miles'?

I don't think Stevie/Victoria are as effeminate as Jackie/Rico.
