On the latest episode of Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard, Prichard talked about the 2004 Diva Search specifically, along with the “Diss the Diva” segment that went overboard.
The segment happened on August 30 , 2004 and included Christy Hemme, Carmella DeCesare, Amy Weber and Joy Giovanni. All four women cut short promos on each other.
DeCesare wasn’t liked amongst the other divas and when it got to Carmella’s turn it turned very non PG with repulsive language and sexual slurs from the other Divas.
Prichard had the following to say about Carmella DeCesare:
“I couldn’t pick her out of a lineup. And I assume that she was the ‘c**-burping slut’ that Christy referred to in an impromptu, live promo segment on Monday Night Raw that we had to have a little chat with everybody about. I hated the Diva Search. I just wasn’t a fan of it, and I tried to distance myself as much as possible. But if I am thinking of the same person, than I remember it got down to the two of them at the end, right? And I stuck a camera in her face and she went nuts. And that was the only part that I really liked. That, ‘Okay, she’s a crazy whackadoo bitch,’ and we got that. So I was happy, I was like, ‘Okay, great! Finally I got some real emotion out of you.’ Because everything else, I just thought she was terrible.”
Prichard also had the following thoughts on the “Diss the Diva” segment and Christy Hemme’s controversial words:
“[She] sure did [say that]. At the same time, she said it so f**king quick, I think everybody was kind of looking at themselves, saying, ‘Did she just say c**-burping gutterslut? Can we say slut on TV?’ [laughs] ‘I think the c**-burping part is okay, it’s accurate, but um–‘ Yeah. It was one of those moments of, ‘God dammit!’ You need to tell ’em what not to say. And ‘c*m-burping gutterslut’ became one of those phrases on the ‘Do Not Say’ list.”
