Hey guys! So I just came upon this article I found interesting:
Fans have been wondering why Eve Torres (http://diva-dirt.com/tag/eve-torres) abruptly disappeared from WWE television a few weeks ago. Well, it looks like we have our answer — she has been filming a new NBC celebrity reality competition series, Stars Earn Stripes.The show sees eight celebrities compete in “tough military training exercises”, reports EW.com (http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/06/19/wesley-clark-nbc-reality/).According to the report, like ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, the celebrities will be paired with real life experts with military or law enforcement experience. “Contests range from helicopter drops to long-range target shooting, with the celebrity and the veteran competing as a team. Each week, one team is eliminated.”Joining Eve on the show are boxer Laila Ali, Superman actor Dean Cain, singer Nick Lachey and more.The series premieres on Monday, August 13th at 8pm ET with a two hour episode. Interestingly, that would mean the show goes head-to-head with Raw on USA Network.
As we've seen in the past, with divas like Stacy Keibler and most recently Kelly Kelly, when a model type diva (one without previous wrestling experience) gains some media exposure outside the WWE it opens alot of doors for them in the entertainment industry and since they lacked the strong ties to the wrestling industry that traditional female wrestlers would have they have an easier time leaving the wrestling world behind to walk through the new doors that have suddenly opened up for them. Also as seen in the past Vince was hesitant to allow anyone to gain outside media exposure since Stacy left cause of it so I can't imagine he was too happy with Eve doing this show, not to mention that the show will be going head to head with RAW which doesn't benefit Vince at all. So that being said do you guys think Eve will be the next diva to leave WWE for a career in the entertainment industry?
