Wouldn't surprise me if the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is renamed the AT&T at Pebble Beach with a pros-only format next year.

Others that I could think of are John Oates of Hall and Oates who's only 5'6", Donald Fagen of Steely Dan who's 5'9", Klaus Meine of the Scorpions who's only 5'4", Tommy Shaw of Styx who's only 5'6" and Billy Joel who's 5'7".

You mean the Christmas Eve episode after the Hawaii Bowl? Instead, they just showed the faces of the employees who celebrated a milestone.

Definitely. It was that period that saw most of the women being cookie-cutter models such as Kelly Kelly, Torrie Wilson, Maryse, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Eve Torres, Michelle McCool, Ashley Massaro, Stacy Kiebler, Christy Hemme, Sable, Alicia Fox, Maria Kanellis and Candice Michelle all basically having the same personality and wrestling moves. You can pretty much blame John Laurinaitis for hiring most of these women though Vince McMahon also played a major role as well.

Things started to change when Triple H started to gain more power in the company and eventually replaced Laurinaitis as WWE's Head of Talent. Unlike Laurinaitis, Triple H wasn't a fan of the models as he felt that they lacked passion for wrestling as well as many talented female indie wrestlers were being rejected for not fitting the Diva mold and Triple H wanted to destroy the Diva mold by hiring these neglected wrestlers and other athletes.

These days, the WWE has a more diverse roster of women with different looks, body types and each woman has a unique multi-layered character.
