WWE diva Ashley Massaro has been eliminated from the Survivor reality TV show after getting into a fight with another cast member.

Eliminated Ashley Massaro stood up to the self appointed leader of her group and ended up being eliminated from Survivor: China because of it. Tensions arose between Ashley Massaro and Dave Cruser, a 37 year old man from Simi Valley, California. The two were part of the Zhan Hu group that also consisted of Steve "Chicken" Morris, Erik Huffman, Jaime Dugan, Michael "Frosti" Zernow, Peih-Gee Law, and Sherea Lloyd. Dave Cruser had decided to take on the role of team leader much to the chagrin of the other team members. The hungry team members had an issue with Dave Cruser because of issues related to building a fire. Ashley Massaro was not happy with the way the team was taking forever to do things and urged the team leader to get a fire created before rain fell. Dave Cruser refused and stated that he was willing to give Ashley Massaro a fight if that's what she really wants. He even asked her, "How many fires have you lit, sweetheart?" Either he's trying to show authority to the rest of the team or he hasn't grown out of the elementary school strategy where you pick fights with girls to show them affection. We're betting that Ashley Massaro isn't going to be keeping in touch with him.

Second Choice

Ashley Massaro was not the initial choice for Survivor: China. When the television executives came calling, they wanted a male wrestler sent over to participate in the show. The WWE, however, didn't feel that they could afford to send a make performer, so they sent Ashley Massaro instead.

Personally, if we were in charge of things, we would have sent Umaga. We also would have told him to stay in character, too. That would easily make Survivor into a "must see" TV show.

Publicity

Though it wasn't a priority, WWE was hoping that Ashley Massaro would have won the entire thing. The marketing potentials from winning the competition would have been great for both WWE and her.

It might have even helped Survivor's ratings a bit as well since a lot of wrestling fans tuned in to see Ashley Massaro on the show. Wrestling fans are always curious to see their favorite performers in an environment outside of the ring as it provides further clues as to how their personalities truly are.

Return

The entire competition has already been taped. Contestants were required to stay out of the public's eye before the episodes starting airing on CBS. Now that she's been eliminated, it won't be long before we see Ashley Massaro back on Smackdown.

Closing Thoughts

Well, it would have been great to have seen Ashley Massaro winning the whole competition, but at least now we'll get to see her back on Smackdown.

Chris Jericho

The hype for Chris Jericho's potential return to wrestling has been so great that he has been moving up the charts on several internet search engines.

The Rock

Starting with "Southland Tales", the Rock will now be using only his real name in the credits. He feels that he has established himself from wrestling now.

Stacy Keibler has a small part in the upcoming comedy, The Comebacks. The movie, which pokes fun at various sports movies, comes out on October 19, 2007.

In an interview with WWE.com, former women's champion Trish Stratus has revealed that her house will be featured in an upcoming episode of MTV Cribs.

Gordon Solie

Gordon Solie's name has been discussed as a possible candidate for entry into the 2008 WWE Hall of Fame. He's easily the best wrestling announcer in history.

Hulk Hogan's name has been nominated as the potential new host of American Gladiators. The show is being resurrected by NBC and will debut on TV soon.

Triple H

Triple H is scheduled to face Vince McMahon in a match on Monday Night Raw next week. Expect to see either Umaga or Mr Kennedy interfering.

Arn Anderson

Arn Anderson has been commended for his work with Candice Michelle. She has shown tremendous improvements in the ring these past few months.
