Former WWE Diva, Jillian Hall joins Diva Dirt for her first
post-WWE interview today. We spoke to Jillian about her release,
the story behind her requesting her release, working as a
trainer in FCW and much more. We discuss Jillian's career from
the independents to OVW, to SmackDown and Raw, including her
thoughts on working with JBL, Melina and others. Jillian talks
about her singing gimmick and why she wanted to drop it to be
taken more seriously. She also discusses her infamous 5-minute
long Divas Championship reign last year.

On requesting her release & unhappiness in WWE: "I asked for my
release back in the beginning of September. I'd been thinking
about it around the time of SummerSlam and the beginning of
September, I decided to ask for my release. I had a talk with my
boss [John Laurinaitis] and he told me that he didn't really
want to release me at the time. You know, me and John get along.
I have no problem with the company, WWE was awesome to me. They
were there for me through everything for a long time. They hired
me when I was pretty much nothing and they kept me around. They
never fired me; I saw a lot of people come & go but they kept me
and I love them for that. I just wasn't happy with where I was
at the time so I did ask for my release."
How she became a trainer in FCW & her eventual release: "He
[John Laurinaitis] was going around finding other areas where I
might be happy and one of the things that came up was, 'Maybe
you could train the Divas in FCW since you live in Florida'. I
said, 'I'm open to that'. I'm tired of traveling. I'd traveled
for a long time. I wanted to sleep in my own bed for a week
straight without having to leave for a little while. He said,
'You'd only have to do a couple of days a week' and I was fine
with that. So we talked about it for a couple of weeks and I
started doing that for a couple of months and then they came to
terms with the actual release."
