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.”

Check out the rest of the photos at WWE.com.

If you don’t keep up with the weekly ECW on Sci-Fi show, which admittedly, is sometimes painful to keep up with, you might not know who Tiffany is. The busty blonde ECW diva (former Playboy model Taryn Terrell) debuted in June 2008 and gets about as much air time as any other ECW diva in recent months, which is to say, almost none.

Tiffany, finally got a WWE.com profile in August. While it might not mean much in terms of her popularity with the company or fans, it’s nice to see her get a little attention today with the release of a new set of studio photos.

The photo shoot is entitled “Having Fun” and includes eight pics of Tiffany in a low-cut pink mini-dress. The whole set is available on WWE.com.

Finally, a completely valid wrestling-related excuse to post a photo of Tila Tequila.   Awesome!  Layla, formerly of ECW and currently appearing on Raw, was seated just behind Tila Tequila at a taping of America’s Best Dance Crew:
