Is acting ECW General Manager Tiffany (aka Taryn Terrell) the world’s sexiest woman?

Maybe not, but she has been nominated for the dubious honor of World’s Sexiest Vegetarian.  She’s in good company in this PETA sponsored competition, joined by the likes of Hayden Panettiere, Alyssa Milano, and Pamela Anderson.

Tiffany wrote on WWE Universe that she went vegan because:

I am speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves. I am a strong proponent for the humane treatment of animals and am making my stand known by not ingesting any animal products whatsoever.

She saw the meat-free light after watching a video by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA.)  Does anyone have the heart to break it to her that PETA is an organization that is notorious for killing animals that could otherwise be adopted and has been caught dumping their bodies in trash bins.

Notably absent from the list of “World’s Sexiest Vegetarian” nominees are former ECW divas Shelly Martinez (Ariel) and Lena Yada, both of whom have been known to pass anti-KFC propaganda around on MySpace.

ECW and WWE alum Amy Dumas will be performing with her band The Luchagors at The Graveyard Tavern tonight at a memorial concert for legendary frontman Lux Interior of punk’s second greatest band (the first being The Misfits of course) The Cramps. The Luchagors put on a hell of a live show and people hearing Amy live for the first time will be shocked by how good she is. She’s reminiscent of the old school punks that defined the sneering attitude and air of danger the interchangeable Hot Topic bands of today try so hard to imitate to this day:

Not quite a Wendy O. Williams, Amy is still as worthy of punk queen status as Wendy was in her heyday, and The Luchagors are destined to be the 21st century’s template for underground cool. Lux would be proud and you would be remiss to miss out on one of their performances.

If you’re in Atlanta check it out. I’d go but I rarely leave my hermitage. The outside world scares and angers me.

And then there was one. WWE management released ECW diva Lena Yada Monday with the usual lack of fanfare and formulaic best wishes, leaving Tiffany as the sole female superstar on the ECW brand.

Lena Yada was primarily an interviewer for the ECW brand, but just last week she finally had a chance to showcase her wrestling talents during her in-ring debut on Raw where she wrestled with the winning team in a 16 diva tag team match. No word yet from Lena on what the future holds, but we’ll keep an eye on her MySpace blog for updates.

The latest round of WWE firings also pushed ECW superstar Elijah Burke out the door. Burke, who joined WWE in 2006, appeared briefly on the Smackdown brand before heading to ECW. His release is no huge shock since his last televised match aired in May of this year. Burke wrote on his official site, “MY COMEBACK SHALL BE GREATER THAN MY SETBACK!~ The Pope Has Spoken!”

Also sent off to the land of “future endeavors” Monday was SmackDown Superstar Kenny Dykstra. Super Crazy, who debuted on the ECW brand in August following this year’s WWE Supplemental Draft, was released last week. Rumor has it he asked for the release because he was unhappy with his place in the company, but I’m sure management was happy to comply considering they’re trying to save $20 million next year.

In a bitter twist of fate, Boogeyman remains on the ECW roster.

I don’t know what Taryn Terrell’s religious background is, but she may end up doing quite a bit of penance after posing for WWE.com as Tiffany the Naughty Nun.

Then again, I’m probably going to hell for posting this photo.  Isn’t there some rule about suspending blasphemy to celebrate Halloween?  Shouldn’t there be?

Happy Halloween from the ECW on Sci-Fi Blog.

This is my obligatory post to let you guys know that WWE.com released new studio photos of both remaining ECW divas this week. Lena Yada appears in a strapless black dress in 8 new pics in this set called “Lady in Black”:

and Tiffany is rocking some major cleavage (as usual) in an 8 photo set called “All Dressed”:

I’m sure most of you would prefer it if the set were called “Not at All Dressed.”
