WWE releases Christy Hemme
December 5, 2005
WWE and Diva Christy Hemme have come to terms on her release. WWE.com will have more details as they become available.
__________
This news has apparently shocked most of the WWE lockerroom. I can't believe how the WWE can release a diva who is training to become a wrestling, but keep giving TV time to divas like Candice & Maria who are both just a waste of a roster spot.

What a waste of ass :(

What a waste of ass :(
I have dreams of fucking a WWE bitch like Candice....
That sucks for real, she was fuckin sexy
-
Man, what the HELL. This has to be Christy's request, there's no way the WWE wanted to get rid of her. My favorite divas are Torrie, Mickie, Trish, Ashley, Christy, and of course the beautiful Stacy.

No it wasn't Christy's request as she was looking forward to heading down to OVW in a couple of weeks & increasing her wrestling skills. Apparently the WWE called her up this morning & told her that she wouldn't be going on the overseas promotion tour since she was released from her contract.

That's really weird. She had great energy. The crowd likes her. I don't know her personally, but in character, it's pretty hard to dislike her. That's why I think something backstage went down. It doesn't even make sense.

She was very well liked back stage as well. Trish & Victoria loved her work ethic & her wanting to be better in the ring.
Christy makes about $250,000 a year so maybe that had something to do with it

WWE keeps getting gayer and gayer by the minute....

The presently unexplained release of Christy Hemme caught a number of wrestlers off-guard Monday, as the diva was known for having a strong will to improve her wrestling ability.
Sources say that Hemme was notified of her release early Monday; the belief is that the typical 90-day no-compete clause will attach.
Hemme was scheduled to start full-time with Ohio Valley Wrestling after returning from an overseas promotional tour with Batista this week. That trip was reportedly cancelled late last week, with Hemme learning of her outright release today.
ChristyHemme.com has not yet reported the release.

Christy follows a long line of WWE Diva's that have suffered from "The Playboy Curse" where they pose for Playboy and within a year were released from WWE. Many assume that WWE didn't want to continue paying her $250,000 a year to stay with WWE with other Diva's and most wrestlers making a lot less.
The word making the rounds is that she was notified earlier today that she was being released. The decision to release her was done by WWE and not her as she had planned to train hard and really wanted to succeed. She was scheduled to go on the overseas tour and had worked for OVW this past week. She arrived early to the show and was said to be really hyped up about her debut later that night. No word on if she will finish up with them like Daniel Puder did when he was released. This definitely caught a number of people off guard as she was very well liked backstage and always wanted to improve.
It's interesting to note that she posted the following on her website (ChristyHemme.com) this past weekend. "Hello everyone! It's been a while since the last update and I am so sorry! You all mean the world to me and I appreciate the support! I want everyone to know that I am serious about becoming a better wrestler and to really do that, I need to focus on training. With that said, I am going to take a break from traveling with Smackdown to train in Louisville, Kentucky at the Ohio Valley Wrestling School. I am going to stay ther for as long as it takes to come back and kick some ass!!! I have one goal in sight and that is to grow at this craft that I have fallen in love with. Thank you so much to everyone who is supporting me. I promise I will make you proud! Remember to keep watching Smackdown on Friday nights at 8pm on UPN!!"
Christy's bio on WWE.com has been removed as have all her photos. She will have a 90 day no compete clause as well.
Stay tuned as more becomes available
-- There is a 90-day no compete clause preventing Christy Hemme from working with any other wrestling company for the next 90 days. However, it’s likely she will show up in TNA or continue wrestling in some form as she had been training hard and really wants to succeed in wrestling now. Before being fired, she was liked by both Trish Stratus and Victoria for her work ethic and desire to improve.

If I were her, I'd hightail it out of the wrestling business and try to cross over into something else. She looks phenomenal and has a really great personality. If she's not going to be in the WWE, she won't make any money at TNA and everywhere else will just be worse... but opportunities elsewhere she could make millions.

But she wants to be a wrestler, so she'll end up being in TNA most likely & also taking Indy work as well

She should stick to modeling. Screw wrestling. She's beautiful, why risk taking bumps?

Cause she wants to be a wrestler, so she'll take the bumps because she loves being involved in wrestling

She doesn't want to be a wrestler. She wanted to be the best at what she was doing. So she was going to go all out to make the best of the job she had.
TNA doesn't pay crap. Indy work doesn't pay crap. She's got a lot of charisma, she could make a fortune doing something else on television.

Actually she wanted to be a wrestler, that was one of the reasons she entered the diva search was to get an in into the wrestling business.
Like it's been said before she'll probably end up in another wrestling company, most likely TNA. She's made enough money over the last year that she can afford to work for less in TNA as well as taking Indy dates & all of that kind of stuff
-
^ You wanna bet on that?
Here's what happened. Beautiful girl, lots of charisma, hears about a WWE Diva search. She thinks why not, looks fun... auditions, makes it famous.
Now WWE's paying her a quarter million a year, so of course she loves her job! She models in playboy, etc.
Now she's fired. Why in the hell would she go to TNA and make 500 dollars a week? She's gonna take a paycut from 250,000 to 26,000 and risk her life every night for it?
There's no fucking way.
You say "she wanted to be a wrestler"... Yeah, she did AFTER SHE WAS ALREADY A WRESTLER. She made the best of her situation, she didn't start out in life to be a wrestler. If you think that, you're insane. Her saying 'i want to wrestle better' on her website was said with the intention of continuing her quarter million a year contract with wwe! Of course she wanted to wrestle better. Now that she's not making that money, she'll rightfully move on to something else on television or in modeling where she can probably make the same cash she was in the wrestling world. She's not going to demote herself down to slaving on another up and coming fed.
She might do an odd appearance or two, but i'd bet money she doesn't stay in the wrestling business.

shes my fav diva.. :(
-
Dammm, she so hot.

I guarantee you that Christy Hemme will end up in TNA

Alright; lets put money down on it, and decide what we're talking about.
I'll bet you 10 bucks you don't see her for 4 weeks in a row, period, on TNA. She might come in for a week, she might show up twice, but there's no way, 4 weeks in a row, that she'll ever be a permanent member of TNA's roster.
Christian has been on there for the past 3 weeks or so, Gail Kim has been on there every week for several months, Rhino has been on there every week for several months.
-
She could easily find work outside of wrestling that would pay well. I don't know ambitions, no one does, so who knows. Maybe she'll be stupid and work for pennies busting her ass. Then eventually end up like Tammy Sych.
-
didnt they do sumthing like this with that tuff enuff kid, the MMA guy who tapped kurt angle in seconds on TV, only to rehire him at a much lower salary
-
TNA will pick her up no doubt
-
-- PWInsider is reporting that Christy Hemme had agreed to a new contract with WWE shortly before being fired. Despite rumors going around, there is nothing concrete on the reason why she was actually released in the first place.
It doesn’t seem like anyone, possibly including Hemme, outside McMahon’s circle of upper management knows what happened.
For those interested, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported earlier this week that Hemme has been dating Joey Mercury of MNM.
-
That's really weird. Especially if she were going to sign for a lower guaranteed salary.
-
fucked up news she woz so hot!
-
isn't there alot of money to make in japan wrestling? :P

they love it over there seen more ladies wrestlin than guys tbh i have the wrestling channel dont know if its the same match over and over tho
-

And today from wrestlingheadlines.com
"TNA has attempted to contact Christy Hemme from the moment she was released. As of press time, she's shown no interest."
So what's up?

Why would she be interested in TNA now knowing that she can't work there for 90 days? I think she'll show more interest once she gets over the shock of being released by WWE
-
LOL O.K. Here's what I'll do. March 1st, which will be about 3 months I guess from when she got released, I'll bring this thread back up.

It's not as big as it once was but it's still more popular there than it is here. In it's prime you couldn't compare the US scene with the Japanese one. As big as Hogan was in the US it was nothing compared Antonio Inoki. Inoki was as popular there as Michael Jackson was here. A bit different though since someone like Jackson is scene as a great enternainer Inoki was secene as a hero, like John Wayne.
The woman wrestling there is serious though. The top women are as good as the top guys, and better than most of the top guys in the US. Christy would never make it over there in a serious role.

From ChristyHemme.com:
Hello everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who has and is still supporting me. Even though the partnership with WWE and I did not end very will (sic), I am truly thankful for the experience. All I can say at this time to clear up some of the rumors, there was no battle over money. Money was never my motivation for working. Truth is that I was completely dedicated to the company and believed in everything I was doing. I trusted it. I was willing to put my personal life aside to give everything I had to what I was doin and become better wrestler/performer. I was told that I was a budget cut and creatively they didn't have anything for me. I am very disappointed in the WWE, where I learned a very important lesson. I am a very determined person with a huge amount of engery for my life and my career. Everything happens for a reason and anything that has happened in my life that has knocked me down has only built me back up stronger. I feel stronger than ever and I am hungry for this huge future before me. Again, THANK YOU soooo much to everyone who has believed in me and is supporting me.
On a side note, Christy had recently relocated to Louisville, Kentucky and had done EVERYTHING that was asked of her.

Rumor is she was flirting with HHH. One thing you don't do is fuck around with the heir to the WWE throne's husband.
-
HHH was on Regis this morning, he was pretty cool. He said at 1 time, Vince told him to stop dating his daughter, but HHH ignored him.

I read about that too. Talk about career suicide if it's true.

Although it has not been confirmed, there are rumors going around that Christy Hemme's WWE release was due to "acting inappropriately" with Triple H on a recent tour.
Word of Christy Hemme's actions, none of which directly implicate Hunter in anything physical with the diva, got back to Stephanie McMahon in the form of a number of stories.
Stephanie was also less than pleased with Hemme's "excitement" about traveling with HHH and Batista.
In a statement on her website, however, Hemme attributed the release to budget cuts.
-
Stephanie isn't gonna pay $250,000 for some woman to travel around with HHH and tempt him. Fiyah dat beezy!
-

But Vince pays the salaries, & Christy Hemme had just gotten a new contract, so she wasn't making anything close $250,000 on her new contract. Right now Ashley is the only one who makes more than Trish or Lita who are the highest paid divas who've been there for more than a year.
-
Man... think about what you're saying. You honestly think they're paying Ashley more than Trish Stratus? I think you need to step back from some of this, look at it fresh, and just use common sense. It's been widely reported that Christy got paid 250,000 a year, now you don't believe that... but you believe every little rumour that pops up with no validation about anybody.
-
There's no way that Ashley or any of the recently added divas for that matter make more than Trish. The Womens division consists of what, 2-3 actual wrestlers? Off-topic, but it's hard to take that division seriously when there aren't too many actual female wrestlers on the roster.

Ashley is making the $250,000 on her contract which is more than any other diva in the WWE. Trish doesn't make that much, Christy Hemme was at one point $250,000 on her contract before she got a new one & then eventually got released. Everyone knows that Ashley makes $250,000 & that no other diva makes more than that. I would be very surprised if Trish made more than $200,000 on her contract considering that before this whole diva search came about Vince didn't pay the divas close to that figure
-
All speculation buddy. I wouldn't be surprised if Trish made more that $250,000 since she is the most important diva on the roster & she's been around for 5+ years.

-- Christy Hemme is expected to start with TNA in the near future.
Since Christy's no complete clause is almost up, I thought I'd bring this thread back up with the latest news which does have her signing with TNA as soon as she can.

you said you would
