Former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall wrote on her official website (Kristal-Marshall.net) that she was released by World Wrestling Entertainment after refusing to participate in a "morally degrading" storyline.
"This is way over due. First off the reason why I was released was because I did not want to do a morally degrading storyline that was already done, plain and simple.
Lita was in my opinion the greatest female wrestler of all time (next to Jazz). Lita revolutionized the world of wrestling. She showed that women could be strong, beautiful, and be a draw in the sexiest world of wrestling. She had little girls watching her wanting to become an athelete instead of a princess when they grew up. She was also one of the few women who wrestled men. With blood, sweat, tears and a broken neck later, she earned the respect of everyone in the wrestling business. So the WWE had the bright idea of turning her personal business into a public free for all. Sure that "storyline" transformed a well-loved babyface into a huge heel, but at whose expence? Look at how Trish retired…now look at how Lita retired. On the day of Lita's retirenent, the fans didn't just boo her because she had heat; they booed her because dispite all that she contributed to women's wrestling, all that they seemed to remember about her was the "slutty" vamp she played on TV.
I am nowhere as accomplished as she was, so imagine what that type of role would have done to me. I have seen a lot of people sell their souls to this business for whatever reason, but I stand strong to what I believe in. I feel like now that I am not in the WWE there is a lot of b.s. talk of me being a difficult person or having a huge ego, believe what you want that is not the case.
I just want to thank all of the fans that supported me through everything. I also want to thank some really cool people who genuinely saw potential in my talent, and who helped train me: Dave Finlay, Booker T, Queen Sharmell and their Pro Wrestling Academy. I will be re-launching my new myspace page shortly so watch out for that, there will be some very important news posted there very shortly."
PWInsider.com reported after her release that the storyline in question would have seen Kristal and Edge form a sexed-up duo very similar to the one that involved Edge and Lita.

I understand her reasoning, but I really wish she could have taken one for the team on this one, if just to avoid the upcoming... {Spoiler}
pleasantries between Edge and Vickie Guerrero. |

why is it morally degrading to play edge's girlfriend?
how is that any more morally degrading than shaking your ass in bikini contests?

Krystal doesn't know what she's talking about. Lita went out like a heel, and she was booed because of it. Trish went out like a face, and she was cheered. Trish was in more slutty angles than most of the divas put together. |

So let me get this straight. She's willing to compete in wet T-shirt contest and Bikini contest but refuse to be Edge's on-screen fling and shot right up into the main storyline and possibly a pay raise?
...hmmm, Interesting.

I wonder if they whole thing has something to do with Lashley perhaps being uncomfortable with the whole thing. Occasionally giving old man Teddy a peck may be one thing, but making out with Edge and becoming a skank could be seen as something else.

Perhaps Lashley thought Edge would steal his girlfriend Lita-style. |

there is so much TRUTH in this thread it's ridiculous. She was willing to be in bikini contests and whatnot, but not to be a top heel's GF because of Lita?
Enjoy your mediocrity, idiot.
Sure, she had a nice ass, but there are a million stupid whores who would gladly take her place.
I'm sure her "big news" will be riveting. That Playboy cover she probably was angling for is likely out of the question now, seeing as no one cares who she is anymore.
Moron.

I agree with her about Lita.
It doesn't matter if Lita was a heel when she retired. She contributed 100x more than Trish to the women's wrestling and yet she had to go out while being mocked by Cryme f'n Tyme (not D-X, not Jericho, not the Rock...). Trish instead, whose first claim for fame was barking on all fours, went out like a hero, with the title in her hometown!
Kristal's logic is a bit faulty about the morality, but probably she finds quite different dancing around in a tiny bikini and "making out" with a Superstar in front of a camera.

Guess what? Making out with a bad guy on wrestling is no different than making out with an actor on a TV show or a movie. Would she refuse to do that?
It's ACTING. She's playing a CHARACTER. Did she think she was really marrying Teddy Long?
And sorry, but that proposed storyline KICKS ASS! How is that degrading? Being generic bikini chick #7 shaking her ass in a g-string is fine... but being a major character, shown to have the brains and manipulative cunning to get involved with a plot like that, to align herself with a major player who will no doubt be champ... is degrading?!
Well done Kristal, you moron. Really good logic there.
As for what she has to say about Lita. Well, part of the reason she was booed was the fact that it was her CHARACTER. Secondly, people genuinely didn't like her. Really, the character Lita played to peoples genuine disliking of her after what happened between her and Edge. That story got out, and people knew about it long before it became part of her on-air persona. She has nobody to blame for how the fans felt about her but herself. I can't see why people like Kristal can't grasp the fact that if you want to live in the spotlight, you have to accept that people will also be watching when you f*** up in a major way too. Lita had always made money off a persona of being a genuine, likeable person (there's about a billion times she was quoted as saying that was why fans related to her). So she should have known that when it came out she was really a cheater and a liar, that her bubble would burst.

I don't give a shit about Krystal, but your points on LIta/Trish are right on. |
