Ex-WWE Diva Trish Stratus Holding a Drawing
rish Stratus' Toronto based yoga studio is holding a fundraiser in order to raise awareness and funds for an organization by the name of Carmelina's Home, which is a holistic program in the treatment and recovery of addictions, substance abuse and/or emotional issues for woman. It receives no government funding and therefore relies 100% on donations.

For all donations of $30 or more, the multi-time WWE Women's Champion will personally send you an autographed picture. Furthermore, anyone who donates a minimum of $10 will be entered into a drawing for a vintage ring worn item from her "closet of costume." Stratus wrote the following:

"And anyone who donates a minimum of $10, I will enter your name into a draw and at the beginning of 2010; I will 'flip out' and draw a name. That is, I'll do a flip video of me pulling the name and the winner will get an item from my closet... I will go deep into the closet of costume and randomly pull an actual worn item, I will sign it, take a pic with it and pop that in the mail for you, how does that sound? And, how about this – if you donate $50 you get 2 entries, and $100 gets you 3 entries, etc. Oh, I love these reindeer games!"

Mickie James Talks About Her Country Music Career
 CMT.com, the official website of the Country Music Television network, has an article up looking at the budding music career of Mickie James. Her debut country music album will be released in March with the first single coming in Feburary. While it may seem that a new careerin country music came out of nowhere, James told CMT that she's written poetry and stories her whole life and played the violin in high school. James knows first hand that the entertainment industry can get ugly and will take the knowledge gained in pro wrestling all the way to Nashville. "As in any entertainment industry, you have to see the sheep in wolf's clothing and you have to be able to differentiate who's being real and who's just hopping on board for all the wrong reasons. Lucky for me, I'm very blessed to have come across some really, really good people and gotten them on my team."

SpikeTV Executive Reveals His Expectations For Monday Night iMPACT

Brian Diamond, Spike TV's Senior VP of Sports/Specials, was interviewed by Alex Marvez of ScrippsNews.com this week about his expectations for the Monday night battle between TNA and WWE. Diamond has high hopes for TNA, but knows there's a long road ahead before TNA is a legit threat to WWE.

"I don't think we're necessarily going to win that night (ratings-wise), but I do feel we're best equipped going into battle with the product as it is right now," Diamond said. "We're all feeling very excited and confident about taking a shot and throwing our hat in the ring."

Diamond reveals that Spike TV has some input with TNA's creative product and admits that change is needed.

"Part of the discussion we have with TNA is what do we need to do to raise the bar and make things better," he said. "Stronger talent and story lines are the key."

No matter how TNA does on Monday night, it will be a learning experience and will be a big win for wrestling fans who are hungry for the next wrestling "boom."
