When you're obviously being used as eye candy - as part of a pillow fight, no less - wrestling skill shouldn't matter, right? Right? Only, for some strange reason it did when the Miller Lite "Catfight" Girls appeared at WrestleMania XIX in a pillow fight involving workers who were actually trained, namely Torrie Wilson and Stacey Keibler. Wilson and Keibler, who were used to the spotlight and had some wrestling experience, managed to look natural, while the Miller girls looked, frankly, awkward and out of place. Tanya Ballinger and Kitana Baker (the latter also part of Eric Bischoff's infamous HLA - Hot Lesbian Action) were the girls in question and after this appearance. Neither set foot in the WWE again. Now, as noted, it really shouldn't have mattered. This was a filler/titillation bout. If it was the second hour of a three hour RAW it would be forgivable, even welcome. However, it was WrestleMania, so no place, really, for this sort of time waster. Plus, Rob Van Dam, Kane, Val Venis and Lance Storm all got bumped to the pre-show so that this could go down.
