    This whole Diva costume contest got me thinking.

    Michelle McCool is an army sergeant -Tylene Buck (WCW’s Major Gunns) wants her gimmick back.

    Katie Lea is a vampire – Shelly Martinez wants her gimmick back.

    Lena is a Ninja – Savio Vega wants the Kwang gimmick back.

    Candice, singing badly as Marylin Monroe – Every young blonde pop diva since the glory days of Madonna want their gimmick back.

    For the record I missed the next four Divas

    Jillian is Batgirl – Molly Holly wants her super hero gimmick back.

    Maria is a bunny – Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends all want their gimmick back – not that you didn’t pose for that particular publication.

    Kelly is a sailor – Popeye wants his gimmick back.

    Tiffany is a nun – The Headbangers want their old gimmick back.

    Brie Bella is cleopatra – WrestleMania IX wants it’s gimmick back.
