The WWE capitalized on Christy's willingness to do a Playboy shoot, and rode her naked body as far as they could (You know what I mean). Much to my joy and in answer to my votes, Christy Hemme won the first Diva Search and was immediately thrust into every cheesy role they could squeeze her in, including the whole Eugene storyline. While Christy Hemme and Ashley Massaro have not demonstrated the in-ring skills of people like Chyna, Victoria, or the pre-broken-neck Lita, they haven't been miles behind the likes of Trish Stratus and Candice Michelle, either. I'm inclined to disagree with your overall assessment, Lance.
I had high hopes for Christy Hemme, let's hope we can find another Diva with her work ethic and morale. With the new RAW Diva Search at hand, I wonder if any actual talent will emerge from the group, while most of the Diva Search contestants a virtually almost talent-less, from a wrestling stand point. Recently she moved to SmackDown! where she seems to be feuding with former Diva Search contestants. On a February 20th 2006 edition of RAW, Ashley participated in a Women's Battle Royal, while being dumped out of the ring, she suffered a broken leg, and had to have surgery as well as a steel plate, one screw and a few staples placed into her leg. Mickie then proceeded to hit a beautiful reverse Spinning Roundhouse. One memorable moment, Ashley and Mickie are duking it out, Trish pulls Ashley off of Mickie in an attempt to break up the fighting. Ashley basically feuded with Candice, Torrie and Victorias, until the three of them split apart, then she was on to a storyline involving Trish Stratus and her lesbian stalker, Mickie James. After some smooth talking, Victoria snuck in and nailed Ashley with the Widows Peak. The next week in almost a similar fashion, Torrie and Candice came to the ring, and claimed they where there to apologize to Ashley. The next week as Ashley was giving a thank you speech Torrie Wilson and contestant of the previous Diva Search, Candice Michelle debuted and attacked her. Ashley was ultimately announced the 2005 Diva Search Winner. Ashley Massaro gave out her legit phone number, and actually took some of the phone calls. It took place in the summer of 2005, and had some slightly interesting perks. This Diva Search was less entertaining as the creativity was just sucked out of it. Christy was then put into active wrestling before the next Diva Search came around. After the challenge was accepted, Christy revealed she was being trained by Lita (in storyline.) Christy came out the loser, but challenged immediately the next day, where Trish laid her out before the bell even rang. Hemme challenged Trish to a match at WrestleMania 21 for the Women's Championship, and Trish, ever the opportunist, decides to take the rookie up on her offer. Stratus had just come off a feud with Lita who had sustained yet another injury. After being trained by Fit Finlay & Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Christy began a feud with (then) Women's Champion, Trish Stratus. She soon began shooting T-Shirts into the crowd before wrestling actively. This led into a Pillow Fight between the two at Taboo Tuesday, where Christy came out the winner. We also got to see a vertical smile (butt crack). Carmella publicly humiliated Eugene, until Christy came down and planted one on Eugene.
This led to a short feud between the two, where Carmella was paid by Eric Bischoff to break Eugene's spirits. Out of the two, Christy's charismatic attitude won her the Diva Search and she was declared the 2004 $250,000, RAW Diva Search winner. This Diva Search came down to two contestants, Christy Hemme and Carmella DeCesar. The Diva Search wasn't exactly original, WCW did a similar skit with the Nitro Girls, where Stacy Keibler's fine legs were discovered. This was the first Diva Search and probably the only entertaining one. Our first taste of the RAW Diva Search came in the summer of 2004. The RAW Diva has been with us for a couple years now. In this article, I'll be looking at the RAW Diva Search. Regardless of those columns, this will be my third column for OWW. You may remember Ultimate Form of Flattery, where I took a look at backyard wrestling, or even Potential and No Talents, where I discussed the Cena-types who are put over the Carlito-types. If you read a column (ANY column) and decide to send in feedback, PLEASE be sure to indicate which column you are responding to by typing the TITLE of the column in the subject line. For TalentĮditor's Notes: You may have noticed that there are multiple columns up on the website about the rumored return of Degeration-X.
