Have any past divas ever said they slept with Vince McMahon? I have to think he's tried to get with at least a few divas over the years. In a shoot he did a few years ago, former WWE announcer Kevin Kelly basically said Trish Stratus slept with Vince to get her big push. I hope that's not true though...

She'd better not get Drew even more de-pushed. That would seriously irk me.

We never will really know because its not something Trish would ever tell anyone. But I've been seeing a pattern in regards to the divas and how well they are pushed. Melina was smitten by the maineventing Batista when she was getting pushed to the moon, and according to London and Kendrick Morrison (her boyfriend at the time) was indifferent because he knew that's pretty much how it worked in order to get pushed well as a diva. And Shelly Martinez got released due to refusing Batista's advances or trying to break off the Melina fling with Batista I can't remember exactly. There's also the massive McCool push since her first Undertakings Layla's getting pushed pretty well currently I think she's with ZigglerDashing Cody Rhodes... Mickie got pushed to the moon while she was with Cena and then released due to her not getting over him (and other reasons too). The counterpoint is Maryse who is with the maineventing Miz but now she's more or less forgotten while she's booked with Dibiase. And you could also argue Natalya and Beth are getting pushed regardless of who they're bedding, but I haven't heard anything about that.

It's fairly obvious that she's completely backtracking now because of her fear of Drew getting fired/buried. It's not exactly a shocking statement, because it seems like it's a rather open secret that there are certain unorthodox hiring methods in WWE. I would say the people she is referring to would be Ace, Vince, and possibly some of the main eventers who are single/married but like to fool around (e.g. Cena).
For the user who said Layla is dating Ziggler, she's dating Cody. Who himself is getting somewhat of a push too.

The smart money would be on Johnny Ace, considering he hires female talent on the basis of whether they have the goods to appear on Playboy. Plus he's probably the most hated man in the business... That's my bet. Sure it could be Vince, but given a close eye on Linda Mcmahon during the senate campaign I imagine any infidelity would be on the down low. Not that hasn't stopped any affairs in politics before. Edit: I think Nonrev has a point. It may not be just Ace or Vince, but general who are you sleeping with that may determine the push of a diva.

Well its a locker room that spends most of its time on the road and they are a man's man testosterone filled place. You throw a hand full of pretty women and of course there are going to be relationships. Its when they have to sleep with men in power to get or keep their job then its gets salacious.

Heck another example, look at who won NXT? The Batista stories are just ridiculous, from what it seems like the guy slept with half of the divas. Did that really affect their pushes? I can understand Ace being the one to get them in the door and Vince having the ultimate say, but even the talent? I guess I can understand why girls like Sara Del Rey have no interest in ever going to the WWE.

This is basically what I was coming in here to say. Kevin Kelly also mentioned the rumor that Brock "stole" Sable away from Vince because Sable had been Vince's girl. He also goes on to say that every Diva, with the exception of Molly Holly, has slept with WWE talent (not sure if this is Vince, or just random male wrestlers). X-Pac's recent youshoot also confirms that he slept with Tori, Nidia, and a host of other women....

WWE Divas sleeping with Vince, HHH, Johnny Ace, etc. in order to keep their jobs should come as a shock to nobody. It probably happens a lot more than we hear about. And I'm also sure that the guys having sex with the divas happens a lot more than we hear about. There are probably a lot more one-night-stands among the guys and the ladies that never make their way even to the rumor mill. And I'm not just talking about divas sleeping with guys to get a push or keep their jobs. These people travel together almost year-round, and that's a hell of a lot of hormones. It's not just the guys that need to get laid once in a while -- girls need it too, and they're travelling with a whole bunch of good looking, horny men.
And I also believe that Tiffany's retraction is nothing more than backtracking. She knows that Drew is likely going to be punished in some form for her tweet, and she's just trying to minimize the damage.

What do these girls get out of it anyway?
Money? Most divas make about 1/3 of what the guys do, even the ones that get pushed. And they get dropped as soon as they hit 30 anyway. Fame? Well, there are probably better and easier ways to get famous.
It's certainly not worth sleeping with a bunch of gross old guys for.

What do these girls get out of it anyway? A job doing something that they either want to do or they think will help catapult them to something bigger. Some of them believe (rightly or wrongly) that if they don't spread their legs, they'll never get hired anywhere. But most of those ways also usually involve "casting couches" with guys even creepier and uglier than guys in the WWE. To them it is. Some of them believe that it's what you have to do if you want to make it. I'm not saying I agree with it, mind you. I think it's despicable. But it's what happens.

This really isn't anything new as it relates to the wrestling business since it's been going on since the Wendy Richter, Medusa Michelli, Sheri Martel (RIP) days as well.
How else do you explain there pushes? Sure they all had the talent and all of them deserved the pushes they got but sadly the business is what the business.
As for someone in this thread mentioning Trish Stratus sleeping with Vince it really wouldn't surprise me hell what makes you think Amy Dumas didn't sleep with him well?

Why would anyone sleep with a ratty looking guy like X-Pac?
If you're going to sleep with someone in the Kliq, at least aim for someone who isn't "Just above Justin Credible" on the list.

It is kinda sad. She's really blew everything wide open with that comment. She could backtrack all she wants, but WWE was specifically mentioned. I mean, seriously, if someone asks me if I would ever be back in WWE, I'd have to give the typical (and probably legit answer) of, maybe, you never know, especially in WWE, where they brought Hogan back, were willing to bring in Warrior for the Hall of Fame, did a dvd with Randy Savage, etc.
She seems really nice, but she's a bit of a bonehead.

I dunno, I read some speculation that her comments were actually directed at Michelle McCool. Though I dunno where that came from.

Am I the only one who realizes how sexist and inapropriate this thread is? Sure Tiffany said something, but you guys are making some awfully presumptuous, sexist, and downright liable accusations. You're saying that the only way to get hired in the WWE or keep your job is to have sex with someone in power, with no proof whatsoever.
And to the point that some people get pushed because of who they're dating...that too is ridiculous. They see each other almost every day. There are going to be relationships between co-workers.

Is it? Presumptous? Maybe. Liable? Perhaps. Sexist? No, not if it's an attack against the powers-to-be, and not if she's being framed as the victim.
