Since today is Father’s Day in the United States (and many other countries), the WWE.com team figured they’d bring in some of that sweet Father’s Day web traffic with a few special features.

All three current ECW divas are represented in the Father’s Day features. Lena Yada fans will want to check out the adorable photo set of Lena and her family, including dad Kiyoshi, mom Aileen, and older brother Jay. Lena was a really cute baby, and you’ve gotta love the late 70s ’stache on her dad.

Lena’s father Kiyoshi has a rare lung condition called sarcoidosis, and currently lives with Lena so he can take advantage of the medical technology and physicians available in Los Angeles. He recently received a double lung transplant. You can read more about Lena and her dad at WWE.com.

Diva Dish also focuses on Father’s Day this week, and includes quotes from ECW divas Kelly Kelly and Layla. Layla told Diva Dish that Father’s Day should be all about guys who spend time raising their kids (duh!):

I respect when I see a dad holding his kids, being with his kids and being a part of their lives. I think it’s beautiful, beautiful thing. Cherish them because you have a relationship that blossoms into a lifetime thing.

Kelly Kelly will be on the road this Father’s Day, but will celebrate with her dad in a few weeks. Speaking about her father, she told Diva Dish:

I want to tell him how much I love him, how much he means to me and he’s the best dad in the world!

He’s been an amazing dad. He’s supported me through everything and he’s so proud of me. He’s so excited for me. He always comes to the shows, he always watches ECW and he always tells his friends.

It’s great to have parents who are so behind me and love everything I do. I love my dad to death – I owe everything to him and my mom.

Check out the whole feature for Father’s Day quotes from Natalya, Michelle McCool, Victoria, Beth Phoenix, Eve, Katie Lea, Cherry, Lillian Garcia, and Maria.
