01/27/08 WWE Royal Rumble PPV - Madison Square Garden, New York City
Ashley knocked on Maria's locker room. Santino Marella answered. He said she couldn't answer her knock because she was preparing for her first-ever high-definition Kiss Cam. He said he didn't understand why anyone would want to see these ugly New Yorkers kissing. He said that's what's great about Maria; whatever you ask her to do, she does. He told Ashley to leave her alone because she's not interested in her or her "boobie magazine." He said he wishes he could vote her out just like they did on Survivor.

Later, Maria came out and did a minute of the Kiss Cam. Ashley walked out and said she got a call from Hugh Heffner. He wanted to know if she wanted to pose for Playboy. Maria laughed, but before she could answer, Santino came out and said the answer is no. "Nobody wants to see Maria with no clothes on," he said. He said those fans are of course going to cheer because the have nothing else to cheer. "Mets, Yankees, chokers," he said. "Ohhh, a mosquito, I'm scared. Let's lose the playoffs! Knicks, Rangers, not even good enough to be called chokers. In fact, the only thing you have to cheer for is a footbal team from New Jersey." He went on to make fun of Eli and other teammates, saying they look more like hairdressers than football players. He asked Maria to follow him out of the ring. Ashley grabbed the mic and said to wait a second. The crowd drowned her out with a "Let's go Giant!" chants. Ashley said the decision is Maria's, not his. She said, "I don't know. Do you guys really want to see me pose for Playboy?" The crowd cheered, but they didn't go mad crazy like you might expect. Santino said since the fans like to see "the boobies," here they go. Out from under a big tarp came Big Dick Johnson in bikini briefs and a Brady Patriots jersey. Ashley spanked him out of the ring. PWtorch.com

Regarding Playboy sales figures, it's being reported on some websites that Ashley had the lowest-selling magazine of all the WWE Divas to pose for the publication (sales within one calendar year), at least according to a person working in the advertising business who has Playboy as one of their advertisers.

The lowest selling goes to Ashley Massaro for her cover last year, though her year has just a few weeks left it is near impossible it will match its closest rival. Rajah.com

Back in the ring, Beth gave Maria the fisherman buster suplex for the pin and the win.

04/12/08 Internet News - Ashley MySpace Blog On Wrestlemania
Ashley posted a blog on her MySpace page a few days ago. Her comments on Wrestlemania appearance:

Hi! So, wow, Wrestlemania...was...HUGE! That was probably one of the most awesomest experiences I’ve ever had in my entire life. Just being there, I mean BEING there for Ric’s retirement, I mean, this is just wow, Ric has always been such a great friend AND the life of the party since I arrived here at WWE and its so heartbreaking to see him go, but it really was pretty amazing to be there for his final match against Shawn.

And as for our match, it was amazing I mean truly amazing to wrestle out there under the stars and the fireworks with close to 80,000 people there. It was sick! I mean what a rush. I had a match last year agaisnst Melina at Mania at Ford Field and there were 80k people there too but didnt this Mania just FEEL BIGGER??? It did to me, I walked back soooooo slow after the match trying to take it all in. I know it sounds silly to describe it this way but I’m glad someone was recording it because it prob will be one of the best memories of my entire life.

04/27/08 WWE Backlash PPV - Baltimore, MD - Mickie James/Michelle McCool/Ashley/Maria/Cherry/Kelly Kelly vs.
Beth Phoenix/Melina/Jillian Hall/Natalya/Victoria/Layla
Michelle started things off against Beth. Lawler plugged Michelle being the number search item on Yahoo yesterday, ahead of the NFL Draft. Someone got information off the Torch News Ticker. Mickie entered the ring and avoided Victoria's shimmy moonsault and nailed an enziguiri kick. Suddenly, the whole deal broke down when Cherry ran over to the heel corner and attacked Natalya. Order was momentarily restored, then Ashley and Jillian took tags. I have no idea what's going on with Ashley's outfit. The heels then took turns working over Ashley in their corner. Mickie came into the ring without a tag, then women randomly entered the ring illegally. It wasn't even a break down, just one diva giving a move, then another diva getting a move, then another diva getting a move, then another diva getting a move. Just completely random. And it came back down to Beth and Ashley, who were legal. Beth with the big fisherman buster suplex on Ashley for the pin and the win.

Winners: Team Beth in 7:00. That was the most organized match break down I've ever seen. Otherwise, a giant collection of multi-colored outfits that probably caused a few TVs to explode. PWtorch.com

04/28/08 Monday Night Raw - The Meadowlands, NJ - Mickie James/Michelle McCool/Maria/Kelly Kelly/Cherry/Ashley vs. Beth Phoenix/Melina/Jillian Hall/Victoria/Natalya/Layla
Things started off with Kelly and Beth, who attacked Kelly from behind after a pre-match scuffle. Not quite Garnett vs. Pachulia, but it'll do. Victoria took a tag, then Kelly snapped off a head scissors, but the heel divas cut her off and went back to work. Kelly then blocked a handspring elbow from Jillian and tagged out to Mickie, who rolled up Jillian with a bridge pin for the win. PWtorch.com

WebMaster's Note: Jeez, a rehash of last night's PPV!

05/07/08 Internet News - Ashley Implicated In Escort Scandal
Ashley Massaro Linked to High-Priced Escort Service?

The new issue of Rolling Stone Magazine with the girls from "The Hills" on the cover features an article about a high-end escort service in Los Angeles, California. The escort service is run by a woman named "Nici" who would set up beautiful women (Playboy Playmates, Maxim and FHM models, porn stars) with rich clients who would pay up to $25,000 a night for their "services".

Nici's operation was recently busted by the FBI, and the Rolling Stone article lists the names of several of Nici's escorts - one of whom is WWE Diva Ashley Massaro. There is a picture of Ashley in the article and she's listed as a WWE star and Playboy cover girl.

The article did not explicitly state or imply that Ashley ever had sex for money. Legally, the escort is being paid to spend time with the client and nothing more. Whatever the escort is doing for $25,000 a night is up to them. That said, being outed as a high-priced escort is probably not the best thing a WWE diva needs on her resume.

----- Ashley Massaro Upset Over Escort Service Allegations

As reported earlier, the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine features an article about an FBI bust on a high-end escort service based out of Los Angeles. WWE Diva Ashley Massaro was listed as an escort of the service.

Massaro herself recently got word of the article, and has posted a brief blog on her MySpace page in her defense. She wrote:

False False False

Just got buzzed on some BS that is going around. Dont believe it for a second.
Getting in touch with my lawyer as we speak.
No post song because I'm beyond upset.

----- Update On Ashley Massaro Being A High-Priced Escort

-- Rolling Stone editor Michelle Grigoiadis responded to suspicions regarding the possibility that WWE's Ashley Massaro was the victim of mistaken identity. "Obviously, I stand by my story. Massaro is named in an FBI search warrant that was executed on Michelle Braun's property in October, 2007. I have no knoweldge of another woman by the same name."

-- While Dave Meltzer started the theory on there apparently being another model by the name of Ashley Massaro, it's not holding much water at this point. Braun's escort service was made up almost exclusively of high-end women recruited "from the ranks of Playboy models and porn stars." Massaro was involved with Playboy before she joined WWE in 2005, doing a few pictorials in 2003 and early 2004 under the name Ryan Mackenzie.

-- An old ad for Ashley Massaro through Bella Models lists a booking fee at $25,000. The website is no longer operating, but this was the escort service that was identified in the Rolling Stone article. For what it's worth, Massaro's location is listed as New York City (she's from Long Island). Rajah.com
