Anyone that knows me well knows I have a lifelong love & respect for the musicians probably best known for their work with Pantera, DamagePlan, Rebel Meets Rebel and now HellYeah, Vinnie Paul & the late great Dimebag Darrell Abbott.  I've followed their music since I bought my first Pantera album when I was 14 years old through all their records, home video collections, merchandise and many concerts they've been a big part of my life.  Their heart pounding grooves and commitment to their fans never left me disappointed.  We all felt the loss of Dime in 2004 and it was devastating to think that their music would be silenced forever. Then something truly awesome happened...and when Vinnie Paul decided to give the music scene a try one more time, it was magic all over again.  HellYeah made a stop in Louisville on their first national tour and I got treated to another round of tunes by the greatest musicians...Not only did I get to see HellYeah perform live, but I got to meet all the band members, Greg, Bobzilla, Maxwell, Chad "Hellvis" Gray and the great Vinnie Paul.  It was such an incredible experience to meet these guys and be so welcomed by them.  I got to say what I've always dreamed of saying to Vinnie..."Thank you."  I have to send out a HUGE thanks to my friends....Bridog who got me the STAR treatment and Cowboy for all the laughs & smiles.  You guys are the f***in absolute greatest.  It was such a big night for me and it felt so great to know these guys are as g*ddamn awesome as their music!  Getcha HELLYEAH!!! 

I've gotten swamped with emails in regards to an internet rumour that I was released early this week....it is totally false.  I am saddened at the news of the other WWE releases but even more that my name was brought into the mix.  I've worked my whole life towards becoming a WWE Diva.  The beautiful thing about the Divas is that they are strong, beautiful, and individual. I love my job with all my heart and I'm so very proud to have the opportunity to represent the company I've been in love with my entire life. Although I don't have to answer to or respond to the internet rumors that constantly come my way, I do owe the fans that have supported me over the past 7 years of my life.  Yes I am still very much employed by WWE and working hard in OVW to one day return to WWE television and live my dream once again.  Our business is all about patience and taking the good with the bad.  If nothing else, you can be sure when you see Beth Phoenix, you will get 110% from me...everything in my heart. 

All my love,

-Beth
