Ex-WWE performer Nicole Bass says the strip show gig she'd recently been promoting on Twitter won't be happening -- but the Attitude Era star is hopeful she'll still get a chance on the pole.

Bass -- who worked for WWE in 1999 -- was hammering out a deal to shed clothing at Club XXXV in Sayreville ... however, without reason, the company backed out Tuesday morning.

The 51 year-old tells Pro Wrestling Sheet that despite the company canceling, she's hopeful a new date will get booked in the near future. Nicole adds, "As far as me going spread eagle though, that ain't happening. Not in this lifetime."

For those interested in seeing her topless still, check Twitter.  You've been warned.
