WWE Diva Updates: Carly, Lacey Von Erich, Torrie Wilson, Stacy Keibler and Gail Kim

Lacey is not going to the WWE

The WWE has a new blond working for them named Carly.
I don't know who she is yet, but she debuted in a tag match at a Florida Championship Wrestling live event, teamed with Angela Fong.
Sightings of this blond may have led to the rumors that Lacey Von Erich had signed with the WWE, a rumor Lacey squashed on her blog.
I wonder if Carly is a model or a wrestler?
Since she already has had a match, I'm guessing maybe a wrestler.


Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson is on the upcoming NBC reality show “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”.
http://www.t-wilson.org/ has more info on this, and also info on the WWE's "Classic Divas" photo layout on they just put up on WWE.com.


And NBC just seems to be scooping up more former WWE Divas as Stacy Keibler will be hosting the "InfieldFEST" activities before the Preakness horse race in Baltimore, Md. on Saturday, May 16.
InfieldFEST will have a volleyball tournament, rock concerts and NASCAR exhibit.
Oddly enough, ZZ Top will be performing during the event and as ypou may recall, "Legs" was Stacy's theme song in WWE for awhile.
I wonder if she'll get up on stage?


Just a weird feeling I'm getting, but I'm thinking we may see a Gail Kim heel turn coming up.
I have no real evidence, it's just a guess.

Angelina Love Updates

The new TNA Knockouts Champion, Angelina Love, suffered her third concussion at the hands (or rather the hips) of Taylor Wilde at the Lockdown pay-per-view .
Well it wasnt the third by Taylor, but this is the third concussion Love has suffered since joining TNA in October of 2007.
You can read more about it on Angelina's MySpace blog here
http://www.myspace.com/angel_williams14

This kinda worries me because I have followed Angelina's career since she was wrestling as Angel Williams.
(Remember the incredibly toned abs and corn rows?)
Angelina has been wrestling since 2000, that's a pretty decent career length in female wrestling these days.

Concussions are serious business in pro wrestling.
Just ask former WWE superstar Chris Nowinski. He's devoted a great deal of time studing concussions and their affects of atheletes, especially pro wrestlers.
Chris suffered at least six in his career.

I hope Angelina does well after this incident.
And even though I want to see this talented young lady in the squared circle (or octagon), I hope she remembers that nothing takes the place of her health.

The WWE 2009 Diva Draft Results

Tiffany is the new interim ECW General Manager?


The draft is over and I guess the big Diva news is Melina going to SmackDown and Maryse going to Raw.
Well of course they flip flopped, you can't have both champions on the same show can you?
(You could if you changed ECW over to an all women's show...)

So now, if I have this right....

Raw
The Divas Champion Maryse
Beth Phoenix
Brie Bella
Jillian Hall
Kelly Kelly
Mickie James
Nikki Bella
Rosa Mendes

SmackDown
Women's Champion Melina
Alicia Fox
Candice Michelle
Eve
Gail Kim
Layla
Maria
Michelle McCool

ECW
Katie Lea Burchill
Natalya

And speaking of ECW, Tiffany has been announced as the new interim General Manager?
Should I wait for the all Diva brand rumors to start now?
I know on the internet at least, the Diva's get a lot of unwarranted heat.
Hearing some of the comments out there, a lot of people don't think the Divas have any business on TV at all.
But when Wrestlicious launches, if it does well, you know Vince is gonna want a piece of that action.
And what better way than to have his own all Diva brand waiting in the wings?

WWE SmackDown!,Gail Kim versus Michelle McCool

Last night on SmackDown!, Gail Kim and Michelle McCool put on a really decent match.
If I have to say anything about Michelle, despite the internet grief she gets, I think she is turning into a really solid performer.
She has worked on her skills and it shows.
So bad mouth her all you want, I think last night's match was one of the best Diva's matches I have seen in a while.

In case you missed it, here's the match posted on YouTube by KingHaffnerWWE1

The first part of the match starts here at about 3:51



And finishes here.



I really don't want to start getting pumped up on the WWE's Diva division, because every time I do, they do something (Wrestlemania) that makes me hate the way they treat them (Victoria's last match) and I regret getting excited.

Breaking News: Ayako Hamada to Wrestle for TNA

Wow...this kind of amazed me.

Female Japanese wrestling star Ayako Hamada has signed with TNA.
Her final match in Japan will be on April 19th at the Ito Dojo show.
Ayako has wrestled for All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), HUSTLE, ARSION, GAEA Japan, Grupo Internacional Revolucion, NEO Japan, Universal Wrestling Association and the World Wrestling Association among other promotions.

She made her pro wrestling debut August 9, 1998 and since then has held several wrestling titles.
I can only imagine how much this will boost the TNA Knockout division.

WrestleMania 25, Official Diva Confirmations

At the pre-WrestleMania 25 press conference in New York City, Kelly Kelly and Eve made an announcement that Jackie Gayda, Molly Holly, Victoria, Tammy Sytch (Sunny) and Torrie Wilson will be in the 25 Diva-Battle Royal.
I guess Molly changed her mind. I had heard earlier that she wouldn't be there.
I'm still predicting Gail Kim to win.
And I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and say the last two in the ring will be Gail and Maryse.

Here is the announcement by Kelly and Eve.....
