Don't get excited. It's just Gabi from Tough Enough.

I saw the commercial during the broadcast, i did get excited, cuz she looked big and hot, figured it would be someone from SHINE. Oh well...another woman who can't wrestle....

It's kind of amazing in a sense. This girl wasn't good enough to be hired by the company that supposedly doesn't care how well its women can work... and so TNA goes and signs her when she wasn't even good enough for WWE.

consider WWE has a record of letting go some great TE talent. Matt Cross, Ivelisse, Marty The Moth (arguable), Patrick (did he sign already?)

It's different with the women because WWE will take all of them so long as they're hot. You have to be really bad to not get picked up while still being hot.
From everything I've heard, Ivelisse was let go because of a supposed "attitude problem," but they did have her under contract for a while first. This Gabi girl never even got signed in the first place.

Eva Marie is case and point. Ridiculously attractive. Can not wrestle but WWE have invested a lot of time effort and money into her in order to make her remotely passable as a wrestler.

Torrie Wilson was very much the same.

So I'm with BRM, this chick must have just been terrible.

Are people really putting Eva Maria in the same league as Torrie Wilson? Either in terms of hotness or wrestling ability? Because she doesn't come close in either.

If Eva Marie wasn't such an arrogant fame whore then I would totally choose her over Torrie. If it's literally just 100% looks based, I'm picking Eva Marie, all day every day.

Torrie Wilson and Eva Marie have been invested in though, that's my point.
