WWE misses Holly:

CM Punk says WWE need more Bob Holly's as their roster are becoming a bunch of slobs...

"I just mean there's nobody in that locker room that -- like to me theres nobody in that locker room that's, in a good way, an enforcer. Nobody is gonna pick up the locker room, nobody is gonna clean up after themselves. There just gonna destroy stuff -- it was happening when I was there. I was the guy that was picking stuff up. And that's because Eddie Guerrero always told me 'hey pick up the locker room', 'can you pick up the locker room before you go'? And I'd be like 'yes sir'. If you had a guy like Bob in the locker room, you're not trying to do that sh**.

''Jamie participated in NXT Season 3, under the tutelage of The Bella Twins. Before joining WWE, though, Jamie was working toward a degree in nursing. Jamie's sports-entertainment career gave her a completely different perspective on health and wellness. That perspective compelled her to pursue a master's in nursing after her in-ring career concluded. She also hopes to obtain a nurse practitioner's license after receiving her degree.

Former developmental talent Kim Nielsen is currently working toward a bachelor's degree in Addiction and Recovery with a minor in Christian Counseling at Liberty University. The mother of three has a 4.0 GPA, is on the Dean's List and was invited to join the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. She hopes to use her degree to help people in need find a solution in recovery, and she wants to write and speak about addiction and recovery.

Antonio Thomas broke into WWE in 2005 as a member of the tag team The Heart Throbs, along with his partner Romeo. He is currently an Adaptive Physical Education and Health teacher at a special needs school for middle and high school aged students on the autism spectrum. He also provides home services for three autistic, nonverbal teenager boys. He's hoping to complete his master's in Elementary Education and pursue doctoral work and special needs services to provide better service to his students.

Past scholarship recipients include Kristal Marshall, Maria, Paul Burchill and Michael Thompson.''
