Kelly Kelly Responds To Wrestling Critics; Lilian Garcia's Whereabouts, WWE-Boston

— WWE Magazine has an interview with Kelly Kelly and she responds to people who say she doesn’t belong in a wrestling ring.

Does it grind your gears when people pigeonhole Kelly Kelly as nothing more than a buxom blonde with no place in a WWE ring?

“It pisses me off. I’ve been training since the day I was hired, and I’ve paid dues every step of the way. I moved to Kentucky to train in OVW, then to Tampa to continue training in FCW and now I’ve finally gotten the chance to show people what I can do.”

She also talks about her gymnastic background, a WWE Diva calling her the hardest-hitting Diva in the locker room, which WWE Superstar taught her the most, and more. You can read the interview at the following link.

— As noted earlier, ring announcer Lilian Garcia missed last Monday’s Raw in Toronto, her first absence on the show in a year and a half. I can confirm that she was on winter vacation in Spain for a few days this past week, hence her absence from Monday’s Raw. She will be back at this Monday’s show in Manchester, New Hampshire. Garcia resided in Madrid, Spain for the first eight years of her life due to her father’s employment with the American Embassy, and was schooled on an American military base, leading her to describe herself as a “military brat” as well as “La Espanola Boricua” (the Puerto Rican Spaniard).

— WWE returns to the site of last month’s Survivor Series pay-per-view for a Raw/ECW taping in March. The next WWE event at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston will be held on Monday, March 2, 2009. Tickets to the event go on sale on Saturday, January 17th at 11:00am. Click here for event information.
