Lita Says She Laughed at the WM 25 Women's Battle Royale

ChangeTheRecord.net recently conducted an interview with Amy "Lita" Dumas to promote The Luchagors' upcoming tour of the UK, the pros and cons of the band's front woman being a former WWE Diva, her band's next album, and more.

During the course of the interview, Dumas is asked if she was invited to take part in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania 25 and/or why she turned it down. Here is what was said:

Faye: Were you invited to take part in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania 25, this year? If so, why did you turn it down?

Amy: Did you see that match?!

Faye: Yeah, it was so bad!

Amy: Right, that’s why I turned it down. [laughs] I did watch it, though. I was dying laughing, I was in stitches, rolling on the couch, thinking, “Thank God, I’m not there, because that is nothing I need to be a part of.” No, first of all, let me tell you this, because Kid Rock was playing for like forever, right? I was like, “Get out of the way, what is this guy doing?! Come on! I didn’t know this guy still sang!” and then, these girls started coming out and I’m thinking they’re like his hoes, his hired dancers, about to break out into some choreographed Beyoncé-shit, but then I realized and was like, “Oh my God!” I can only imagine them being like, “So, what we’re wanting you to do is: grab Kid Rock’s leg, start grinding up on it, then go into the ring and do a drop toehold.” I’d be like, “Absolutely not, under no circumstances.” So, yeah, that is why I did not do that match.

Johnny Ace Wants Former Light Heavyweight Champ Back



Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Johnny Ace reportedly has expressed interest in bringing back former WWF Light Heavyweight Championship Essa Rios to World Wrestling Entertainment. He is probably best remembered for bringing Amy "Lita" Dumas into WWE because if you recall, she was originally his manager.

Rios was originally brought into the company in 1997. He wrestled TAKA Michinoku at WrestleMania XIV for the Light Heavyweight Championship, but lost. He was later repackaged as Essa Rios, capturing the WWF Light Heavyweight title from Gillberg in his first match under the gimmick in February 2000. Lita was split from Rios to manage the Hardy Boyz. While Lita & The Hardys were taking off, Ríos lapsed into obscurity for the remainder of his WWE career. He wrestled his final match for the organization in August 2001, and parted ways soon after.

Rios made a comeback to the United States in 2004 as part of Team AAA/Mexico for TNA.

Rios currently wrestles as a masked wrestler under the name Mr. Aguila in the CMLL promotion in Mexico.
