For those of you who are interested (I personally am not, as I feel this is sort of exploitive), W.A.G.S., the E! reality series featuring former WWE star Barbie "Kelly Kelly" Blank, featured a scene where she went to a medium to contact the spirit of the late Andrew "Test" Martin.  I was told Blank got very emotional over the experience.  If you want to see a clip of the scene, you can by clicking here.
