Five Foods The World Will Fight About Until The End Of Time

Certain foods leave us with a really strong opinion, and remarkably, it’s usually the same food that another person will just as strongly disagree with us about. Every now and then, there’s a clear explanation for how the same thing can evoke such different reactions in people. But it usually just comes down to a sensory experience that’s strong enough to either win your heart, or send you running for the hills.

Love them or hate them, there’s just no right or wrong with these foods.

1. Mayonnaise

A sacred sauce, or a waste of taste? Even people who sing its praises usually won’t take a spoonful on its own – although those few are out there. You’ve been warned.

2. Pineapples on Pizza

“It’s perfect,” say some. “Just don’t,” say others. Combining sweet with savory isn’t a rare concept. But pizza is sacred, and plenty of people consider it sacrilege to add pineapple. While it can be weird to think about mixing pineapple with cheese, it doesn’t necessarily mean it tastes bad.

3. Insects

Bug food is not just for the brave. If you didn’t already know, insects are quite a popular food. They’re loved in parts of virtually every continent, and their consumption is on the rise due to worldwide resource crises. Rich in essential nutrients, many places are developing new insect-based foods, like flour.

4. Blue Cheese

If you’ve never tasted it, you’ve smelled it. Blue cheese has an aroma considered unfriendly by many, and for good reason: it comes from the copious amounts of ripe mold growing inside of it. However, it’s important to remember that all cheese is mold – just some less stinky than others. You may have noticed that more adults like blue cheese than kids. This may be because taste buds quickly die and are replaced by the body, but with age, we reproduce less – making adults prone to stronger flavors.

5. Mushrooms

There are those who refuse to cook without mushrooms, and those who are terrified of them. No, really – mushrooms have a whole phobia, called mycophobia. Phobias may be irrational, but the fact that fungi are a life form unique from plants and animals can bewilder even rational folks. Nonetheless, to many, they are just delicious.

WWE Divas: Where Are They Now?

It’s time to give some love to the powerful women who have made the WWE an even greater spectacle than it already was. Let’s explore what some your favorite WWE Divas and female wrestlers are doing today.

Ivory

Lisa Mary Moretti will be best known by her ring name Ivory and was an integral part of the Attitude era, and also went by Tina Ferrari back in the 80s. As the manager of Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown, she won the Women’s Championship twice.

After leaving the WWE in 2005, Moretti worked as a landscape designer while also volunteering at an animal shelter. However, that wasn’t the end of her passion for animals. She also opened up an animal care home called Downtown Dog, which acted as a grooming center. This was soon followed by the Bow Wow Bus, which takes dogs on day trips. Ivory was recently recognized for her wrestling days, being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in February 2018.

Chyna

If there was ever a female wrestler who had the ability to hold her own against even the toughest males, it was Chyna. With one of the most robust physiques in female wrestling, Chyna was an imposing figure and first burst onto the WWE scene as Triple H’s sidekick. She was part of the Degeneration X, which also consisted of wrestlers such as Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and X-Pac. She was known as “the Ninth Wonder of the World” after Andre the Giant was called the eighth.

Chyna’s biggest WWE career highlight was when she became the first woman to compete in the Royal Rumble. She also made history when she won the Intercontinental Championship. Despite leaving the WWE in 2001, Chyna carried on wrestling with other companies such as TNA and NJPW. She also made a couple of appearances on shows such as VH1’s The Surreal Life and Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Sadly, at just 46 years of age, Chyna died in her home in California.

Terri Runnels

It seems like Terri Runnels was at the ringside of virtually every other wrestler during the 90s. Also a talented wrestler in her own right as Marlena, Runnels managed her husband at the time, Dustin Runnels, who is best known for wrestling under the ring name Goldust. However, their marriage didn’t last, and Runnels went on to work with tag teams such as The Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian. Her biggest triumph in wrestling came when she won the Hardcore Championship.

Miss Elizabeth

Another WWE Diva who is sadly no longer with us is the iconic Miss Elizabeth. Without a doubt, she was best known for being the manager of the late great “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Between the years of 1985 and 1992, Elizabeth Ann Hulette was a mainstay in the WWE. She had an important role to play in the storyline between WrestleMania IV and V. In the first ever SummerSlam, she helped the Mega Powers defeat Andre the Giant and Ted DiBiase by “distracting” them.

After her time in the WWE came to an end, Elizabeth made a swift transition to World Championship Wrestling (WCW), which she was a part of until the turn of the Millennium. She ended up in a relationship with wrestler Lex Luger, who she had also worked with in WCW. However, things got pretty sour between the couple, and at what point, very ugly. The drama came to a head on May 1, 2003, the day that Elizabeth died in Luger’s home.

The Kat

Stacy Carter will probably be best remembered for walking into the Madison Square Garden ring at the 2002 Royal Rumble wearing nothing but clingfilm! However, there was so much more to the career of a lady that fans will know best as The Kat. Just a few months after the infamous event, Carter ended up marrying Jerry “The King” Lawler. Although Lawler left the WWE after The Kat was released by the WWE, he returned when they divorced a few months later.

Stephanie McMahon

When Vince McMahon decided to make his family actual characters in the WWE, fans were skeptical that it would turn the company into a circus. However, it seemed to be a blessing in disguise and made the WWE more like a soap opera, and people couldn’t keep the eyes off it. Daughter Stephanie burst onto the scene when she betrayed Vince for an in-ring relationship with Triple H. With time, the relationship became a real one, and the couple have been together ever since.

Stephanie McMahon – Now

Stephanie McMahon only started dating Triple H for real two years after the couple got married on screen in 1999. Ever since their real wedding in 2003, Stephanie and Triple H have had three daughters who you would think will also get involved with the WWE at some point in their lives. McMahon currently works as the Chief Brand Officer for the WWE, working tirelessly to enhance the company’s image around the world. She is also writing her memoir, which is slated for a 2020 release date.

However, that came to a tragic end when Hart died after an audacious ring entrance went wrong. Debra ended up marrying Stone Cold Steve Austin and also worked with him in the WWE, before both leaving the company in 2002. At one point, Debra managed The Rock while he was feuding with Austin.

Things between Debra and Stone Cold Steve Austin didn’t go so well, with domestic issues ensuing between the two. Debra ended up putting her wedding ring on eBay for $27,100 and donated part of the sale to Safe Place. It is an organization that seeks to help people who have suffered from domestic issues. Since then, Debra has been extremely ambitious and has actually gone back into education, studying for a master’s degree in Criminal Justice at the University of Alabama.

Jacqueline

Although most will remember her for her outrageous wrestling suits in the WWE and her dramatic feud with Sable, Jacqueline Moore was originally part of the WCW, managing Kevin Sullivan in 1997. Just a year later, she jumped ship to Vince McMahon’s ring and was Marc Mero’s in-ring girlfriend. When she defeated Sable in 1998, Jacqueline officially became the first African-American to win the WWE Women’s Championship. After winning the title for the second time, she eventually lost it to Stephanie McMahon of all people.

In 2016, she made history again when she became the first African-American female to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Michelle McCool

Although Michelle McCool is better known nowadays for being married to The Undertaker, she actually made a name for herself as a respectable wrestler beforehand. McCool’s first WWE appearance came at the Raw Divas Search contest in 2004. Despite losing the contest to Christy Hemme, McCool was eventually hired by the WWE. She played the role of fitness trainer, working with the likes of Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam. She was eventually victorious when she became the WWE Divas Champion in 2008.

Michelle McCool – Now

It might seem like an odd couple, but Michelle McCool has actually been married to Mark Calaway aka The Undertaker of all people since 2010. They even had a daughter together! It’s amazing to see how the Phenom has become such a softie in real life since being romantically involved with Michelle. The couple are always sharing photos online of trips abroad, as well as their most recent events and date nights. McCool was in front row for Taker’s match at WrestleMania 33.

Mickie James

When Mickie James first arrived in the WWE, no one predicted that she would be the huge star that she is now. She started off as an obsessed fan of Trish Stratus, but eventually went on to become a star in her own right, winning the Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 22. Then, James made history when she became the second Divas to hold both the Divas Championship and the Women’s Championship at the same time.

AJ Lee

One of the more recent divas to grace the WWE rings, AJ Lee was not only the most popular female wrestler at one point but also the most talented. For eight years, Lee performed as a wrestler in a variety of companies, but it was her “unhinged” persona in the WWE that made her a fan favorite. Lee won the Divas Championship a staggering three times and ended up holding the title for over 400 days! Then Lee met fellow wrestler CM Punk…

Torrie Wilson

Torrie Wilson is one of those divas/wrestlers who has had iconic roles in both the WWE and its fiercest rival WCW. When a group of WCW wrestlers called “The Invasion” literally invaded the WWE, Torrie was a part of it and soon started ruffling feathers with Dawn Marie. Although she was very popular on SmackDown, Wilson eventually moved to the neighbor program Raw, trading with Stacy Keibler and Christy Hemme.

Stacy Keibler

Although Stacy Keibler has been referred to as “The Legs of WWE,” there is so much more to this fantastic personality. At one point, she was the manager of the Dudley Boyz. You know, the guys who were obsessed with tables, ladders, and chairs. At 5’11”, Keibler was certainly one of the tallest divas in the industry. Amazingly, she was able to step over the middle ropes in the wrestling rings because of her long legs. She retired in 2006.
