Angela Fong - MMA Girl?
http://beautifulwrestling2.blogspot.com/

No you haven't gone to my female MMA blog by mistake.
On the Sherdog.com website there is a video for the "Technique of the Week: Reverse Triangle".
And in the video, one of the ladies doing the demonstration is ex-WWE Diva Angela Fong.
Evidently Angela is now one of the "Crave Girls" or "Sherdog Girls of the MMA"...take your pick.
You can see the video here:

You can keep up with Angela at her Facebook page here:

Gail Kim Is Gone

2011-10-06T07:23:00.000-04:00

Gail Kim Is Gone
http://beautifulwrestling2.blogspot.com/

Well Gail Kim is officially gone from the WWE.
Now she's an ex-WWE Diva, Ex- TNA Knockout and ex-WWE Diva again.
Gail said on her Twitter account back on August 5th that she quit the promotion after her appearance on the August 1st RAW when she eliminated herself from the Divas Championship Number One Contender Battle Royal.
The WWE said they wanted her eliminated in the first minute, so Gail did them one better and eliminated herself.
Even though Gail quit on August 1st, the WWE didn't grant her release and technically benched her till they removed her WWE profile on September 30th.
After her profile was removed, Gail said on her Twitter account, "Yeah I guess they're slow. Cuffs shouldve been off last week."

So will Gail go back to TNA and start wrestling again?
I'm gonna go with no.
I just don't see it happening.

The Food Network’s Robert Irvine and Gail are making their wedding plans for Napa Valley, California this coming spring and I really dont see TNA figuring into that.

If you want to hear Gail's views on all this, check out http://www.wwnlive.com/ because on October 12th they will be airing The Hot Zone with Gail Kim on live iPPV.

Kelly vs Beth Phoenix - WWE Night Of Champions PPV

2011-09-19T10:45:00.001-04:00

Kelly vs Beth Phoenix - WWE "Night Of Champions" PPV
http://beautifulwrestling2.blogspot.com/

Last Night at the WWE "Night Of Champions" PPV, Kelly retained her WWE Divas Championship.
K2 came out to the boos of the crowd which really wasn't much of a suprise.

No...not because she can't wrestle, it was because they were in Buffalo, New York where the announcers said Beth was from.
Actually Beth was born and raised in Elmira, New York which is like 150 miles from Buffalo but what the heck....
Anyway, The crowd treated K2 to a "Kelly sucks" chant during the beginning of the match but the crowd loved it when Beth grabbed Kelly, draped her over her knee and spanked her two or three times.
She followed that up with a clothesline and a superplex from the top rope.
The end of the match came when Beth went for the Glam Slam but Kelly slid out and rolled Beth up to get the three count.
Again, K2 was treated to huge boos for her effort.

Remember when Trish Stratus and Mickie James had their feud?
Trish was supposed to be the good guy, but she got booed and no matter how psycho Mickie acted, she got cheered.
Maybe all this booing will help ease K2 into that heel role.....

Updates - Velvet Sky, Maryse and Melina

2011-09-14T10:11:00.001-04:00

Is TNA Knockout Velvet Sky going to be on Dancing With The Stars?

Well she will be if TNA can do anything about it.
Over at ImpactWrestling.com they have a link to click to vote for Velvet to be on DWTS.
http://www.impactwrestling.com/news/item/2980-Vote-For-Velvet-Sky-For-The-Next-Season-Of-Dancing-With-The-Stars
Why not?
Stacy Keibler and Jericho have both done it.
It would be great PR for TNA.

Maryse is healing up from her hernia surgery and posted this over at FrenchKissMaryse.com:

Hey planet sexy,

I met with my surgeon today and she said everything is perfect. There’s a little bit of fluid inside by the incision and where the repairs were done, but its totally normal apparently. The scar healed really good and there is no infection. So the surgery was a total success. I’m sooooooo happy!!!

Be Sexy!!!

And finally, I mentioned over at Beautiful Women of Wrestling that former WWE Diva will be taking on another former WWE Diva Serena Deeb, on November 19th at the Womens' Superstars Unleashed iPPV at the ACE Arena in Union City, NJ.

Well right after that (and I mean RIGHT after that) Melina and Serena (along with another ex-WWE Diva Jillian Hall) will be appearing on the WASP (Wrestling All Star Pros) tour in Mexico on November 20th.
You can see more about that here:

Kelly or Eve Torres - New WWE Heel?

2011-09-02T09:03:00.004-04:00

As you probably already know, the Wrestling Observer is reporting that the WWE is thinking about having either Kelly or Eve Torres turn heel, then have them feud with each other.
K2, the current Divas Champion (I never dreamed I would be typing that) and Eve have a fairly tight on-screen friendship.
But, back on June 20th, she lost the vote on WWE Raw to be the Diva that faced Brie Bella for WWE Divas Championship (again...never thought I'd be typing that).
And she lost to...Kelly.
Kelly went on to win the title.
Then on Raw on June 27th, Kelly beat Nikki Bella in submission match and got jumped afterwards.
Who made the save?
Eve.
On the Fourth of July Raw, Kelly and Eve beat the Bella Twins.
Then Eve accompanied Kelly Kelly in her Divas Championship match at the Money in the Bank PPV.
Kelly and Eve have been teaming up and saving each other ever since.
But...wouldnt it be cool to have Eve say that it was all an act, and that she had been working herself in closer to Kelly to gain her confidence and learn her weaknesses (wrestling).
What would make this cool would be the idea that this storyline had been formulating for four months, rather than four weeks like most WWE storylines.
Remember back in the day when heel turns took months?
Eve could be Kelly's worst nightmare, having trained beside her and fought beside her in and out of the ring.

Of course I am probably putting wayyyy too much thought into this.
Kelly will probably just snap on night and the next week be totally evil.
Only the brave Eve will be able to stop her and Kelly will go back to face in about a month.

But wouldn't Eve make a great heel?

Mickie James in Mexico?

2011-05-11T13:17:00.000-04:00

Well here's a mind blower.
Mexican wrestling promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) ahs announced that TNA Knockout Mickie James will be at TripleManía XIX on June 18th, 2011 at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico.
Actually it's not "really" a mind blower as several TNA wrestlers will be appearing on the card.

TNA.com

I can still call TNA workers wrestlers right?
They haven't gone all WWE on me have they?

Anyway, TripleManía XIX is AAA's equivalent of the WWE's Wrestlemania.
No word yet on who will be Mickie's opponent, but let's hope it's not Sarita.
I would love to see Mickie versus AAA luchadoras like Faby Apache or Sexi Star.

Happy Birthday April Hunter!

2010-09-21T12:31:00.004-04:00

Since her birthday is in a couple of days (September 24th), here is April Hunter.
April has to be one of the (if not the) most popular Indy wrestlers of all time.
She has not only worked the Indy wrestling promotions, but you may recall that she was at one time with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as a member of the nWo girls along with Tylene Buck, Kim Kanner (Shakira), Midajah and Pamela Paulshock.

April isn't just another pretty face (and everything else), she was trained by the late Wladek (Walter) "Killer" Kowalski, one of the great wrestlers and trainers of all time.
And April has wrestled with more Indy promotions than you can shake a stick at including Women's Extreme Wrestling, USA Pro Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, Queens of Chaos and German Stampede Wrestling.

Besides the Indy circuit and WCW, April has appeared on TNA a couple of times, the most recent being on the December 31, 2009, episode of TNA Impact!
She and Lorelei Lee (Wrestlicious' Tyler Texas) tag-teamed against the TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Sarita and Taylor Wilde, but lost.

Sarita & Taylor Wilde vs April Hunter & Lorelei Lee (TNA)
Uploaded by MissDaniGermany. - More professional, college and classic sports videos.

By the way, April and Knockout Velvet Sky (as Talia Madison) used to tag-team as TnA.

April is now competing in Figure and Fitness competitions and looks amazing.

The WWE Loves Alicia Fox

2010-07-15T12:39:00.003-04:00

According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE officials are very high on current Diva's Champion Alicia Fox.
And why not?
She's....well she's....and then she's.....
Okay, having Alicia Fox as Diva's Champion makes about as much sense as Eve Torres.
(Although I checked, and Eve outranks Alicia in internet searches almost 2 to 1, so it may not have been such a good idea from a publicity stand point)
She's been wrestling for a whole four years, and not counting the OVW Women's Championship, the Diva's Championship is the only belt she's ever held.

How does she rank up against the other SmackDown! Divas?
Well she's better than (or equal to) the Bella Twins, Eve Torres...
Hmmm, that’s about it I think.
That leaves Gail Kim, Jillian, Maryse, Melina, Natalya and probably Tamina that are better than her.
(Okay, I'm sure Tamina would take Alicia's lunch money and stuff her in a locker, but I'm trying to be nice here)

And yes I put Maryse on that list because even though she started out as another "model sign up" in the WWE, she has put in a LOT of effort in her four years with the company.
She was trained by some of the greats like Al Snow, Steve Keirn, Tom Prichard, Finlay and Ricky Steamboat, and she has some martial arts background as well.

And here's even more fun for wrestling fans...
The WWE has signed her sister Christina Crawford, and she's training at the FCW developmental facility.

So can we expect Christina Fox as the WWE Diva's Champion in 2014?
Probably, if not sooner.

On the upside, maybe they are doing this so when Melina does come back, she can have a title match with Alicia on SmackDown!, beat her in like 30 seconds and end this.

The WWE Loves Alicia Fox, posted to http://beautifulwrestling2.blogspot.com/ on July 15th, 2010.

Is Lay-Cool Better Than The Beautiful People?

2010-06-18T18:12:00.002-04:00

What is the hottest thing in female wrestling at the moment?
I think it's gotta be Lay-Cool.
Lay-Cool (or LayCool) has pretty much came up outta nowhere and out "Beautiful Peopled" The Beautiful People.
Yeah the WWE swears that the idea for Lay-Cool had nothing to do with The Beautiful People, and that's okay.
They finally gave us a great female heel team on the WWE, and maybe raised hopes that the WWE Women's Tag-Team belt might come back.

Since everyone is comparing Lay-Cool to The Beautiful People, let's see how they stack up.

Lay-Cool is Layla El, Michelle McCool and Vickie Guerrero, total years of experience = 15 years
The Beautiful People is Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne and Lacey Von Erich, total years of experience = 15 years

Looks = Okay...I gotta go with The Beautiful People cause Vickie Guerrero drags Lay-Cool's score all the way down.
Now...if they added Maryse...I'd have to do with LayCool.

Skill = Since the two teams tie as far as ring experience go, I'll have to go with Lay-Cool because Lacey's in ring performance has been so bad in the past, they have talked about letting her go.

One thing kinda scares me though.
On a recent show,Vickie Guerrero came out with Layla, Michelle McCool, Maryse and Alicia, and I had a flashback to Aunt Kitty and her gang on GLOW!

See what I mean?

Female Wrestling - Candice Michelle, Michelle McCool, Daffney and more

2010-05-26T13:01:00.002-04:00

Former WWE Diva Candice Michelle gave birth to a baby girl on the 23rd, AkiAnne Rose.
You can find out more about AkiAnne at the website Candice set up for her daughter here:
http://www.akiannerose.com/

Adding to TNA Knockout woes, there are rumors that Daffney may be dropped by TNA when her contract expires later this year.
Also rumored to be leaving are Sarita, Hamada, ODB and Taylor Wilde.
Although I thought ODB signed a multi-year contract back in 2009.
Anyway, if they are not careful, the TNA Knockout dressing room will start looking like a ghost town soon.
At the moment, TNA has 11 Knockouts on the roster, and WWE has 16 Divas.

WWE developmental women's wrestler Karlee Perez (also known as Liviana) got her charges dropped in her June 14, 2009 DUI arrest.
She also got her driver's license back.
All this happened when she requested a jury trial.
Hmmmmm....

Okay, Layla and Michelle McCool are both wearing their WWE Women's Championship belts.
But Layla is actually the Champion, not Michelle.
You know that makes Layla the first Brit to ever hold the WWE Women's Championship?
That also makes her the first WWE Diva Search Winner to hold the belt.
Now other contestants have held the belt like Candice Michelle and Michelle McCool, but Layla actually won the Diva Search in 2006.

And speaking of Michelle, www.MichelleMcCool.Net still has their 5th Anniversary Interview with Michelle up, which you can see here:
http://michellemccool.net/wordpressing/

Female Wrestling - Candice Michelle, Michelle McCool, Daffney and more , posted to http://beautifulwrestling2.blogspot.com/, on May 26th, 2010

Female Wrestling: Tara, Beth Phoenix, Christy Hemme and More...

2010-05-09T15:50:00.002-04:00

Lots of wrestling news and rumors this time so....

At Ring of Honor’s “Supercard of Honor V", Sara Del Rey faced and defeated Awesome Kong.
According to all reports, the fans were really behind Kong.

And speaking of Kong, on Monday Night Mayhem Radio (http://www.mondaynightmayhem.com/) she said this about going to the WWE:

"Their product is a bit different, and I don't fit the 'diva model' persay. I do believe that if I was there, I would back them a lot of money. They have some of the most creative minds in professional wrestling, and I believe if they choose to pick me up, that everyone would make money all around."

At TNA's Sacrifice PPV, Madison Rayne will be taking on Tara in a Title vs. Career Match.
Now, since Tara has already said she is leaving TNA after her contract expires, the outcome is pretty much a given.
But you never know...
The question is...after TNA, will she be going back to WWE, or heading into MMA?
Kong and Victoria as a tag team?
Forget Laycool.

Remarkably, Jerry Lawler's ex-wife, Stacy "Cat" Carter was seen backstage at TNA.
I say remarkably because remember how just a few years back she was VERY much against being associated with wrestling?

Christy Hemme will be getting married this weekend in Hawaii.

Beth Phoenix wasn’t seriously injured at the WWE Superstars taping, just a twisted ankle.

Mick Foley got a little upset about Triple H's Lilian Garcia joke awhile back on Raw.
Mick said on his MySpace blog...

"About a week ago, I watched the Raw from New Jersey on DVR - the one where Triple H made the crack about Lillian Garcia showing up just to "horse around". Ans since that time, just keep asking myself "why"? Why does someone like Triple H, one of the most talented, well paid guys in the business, do something so shallow and mean? Why would a multi-millionaire, with millions of fans around the world, feel the need (several times over the years) to say something that is only meant to hurt? I don't get it. I don't get why it's done, I don't get why it's condoned, I don't get what possible satisfaction anyone involved gets from demeaning someone like Lillian Garcia. I just don't get it."

I have to not only agree with Mick, but also say I think Lilian is quite pretty.

Female Wrestling - Lita, Christy Hemme, Maria Kanellis and More

2010-04-17T15:37:00.008-04:00

On Hermie's Hotseat, NASCAR's Hermie Sadler interviews the beautiful Velvet Sky...

PWPIX.net is reporting that Christy Hemme has signed a three-year deal with TNA worth $175,000 per year.
I wonder how the other TNA Knockouts feel about that?

And...Desmond Wolf's valet Alison Skipper has signed a long term contract with TNA.

At WWE.com, there is a videp posted of new Divas Champion Eve Torres training with Rener Gracie.
If you know anything about BJJ or MMA you know the Gracie name.
Of course the WWE is not as nice about letting people embed videos to promote the brand as TNA is, so you can see the video here at the WWE site.
http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/vms/overtheropes/2010/april15-21/14160398

And speaking of Eve, WWE Diva Melina doesn't seem too happy about Eve getting the belt if you go by her Tweets on Twitter.
Melina said among other things....
"I still stand by what I say. Back in the Trish/Lita/Jazz era, the women earned the title and fought for it. It meant so much. Women looked at them and wanted to be as great as them. It shouldn't be about taking turns on who gets to put in on this week. It should be about who earned it and who brings credibility to it. I still wish it could have been Jillian, Katie or Gail to have that opportunity. All I wanted was to start a new era. To make those women proud to see we were keeping it alive."
I pretty much have to agree with Melina on all those points.

You can get Maria Kanellis' debut album, Seven Sins at iTunes for $3.99.
The album made it up to 120, but has now fallen off the Top 200 list altogether now.
You can get the album here:

Amy "Lita" Dumas had a birthday on the 14th and I missed it, so ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITA!
I mean AMY!
Old habit...sorry.

Velvet Sky "Wrestling's Sexiest Woman"?

2010-03-30T11:08:00.004-04:00

Well I said in the last entry that the last minute add on women's wrestling match at Wrestlemania 26 would probably be Kelly Kelly, Eve and Gail Kim taking on Michelle McCool, Layla and Maryse.
I wasn't far off.
It was Michelle McCool, Layla, Maryse, Alicia Fox and Vickie Guerrero taking on Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix.
See?
The WWE isn't predictable at all.

Michelle McCool, Layla, Maryse, Alicia Fox and Vickie Guerrero won at Wrestlemania, so they turned around and repeated the same wrestling match the next night on Raw.
This time the winners were Eve Torres, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix, and Gail Kim.

BTW...the WWE has some new Divas Wrestlemania pics up at their website here:
http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/photos/wrestlemaniadivasphotos/

They also have a gallery of the WWE Divas in their gowns at Saturday's Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony that you can see here:
http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/photos/halloffamedivasphotos/

And the WWE has signed yet another model, but at least this time they are going to use her as a ring announcer.
Florida model Brittney Beede has been signed to a developmental deal and she is using the name Jamie Keyes.
You may remember her as the winner of Kevin Nash's search for a new valet on TNA last year.

And speaking of TNA, remember what I said about TNA with Tara and Daffney?
Well they didn't go all the way with that, BUT, on the last TNA Impact, they did have Tara face Daffney in a First Blood Match for the TNA Knockouts Championship.

And in more TNA Knockout news, in the annual "PWI Poll" issue, Pro-Wrestling Illustrated named Velvet Sky "Wrestling's Sexiest Woman".
The list went like this....

Velvet Sky (TNA) - 14%
Maryse (WWE) - 12%
Melina (WWE) - 9%
Lacey von Erich (TNA) -7%
Kelly Kelly (WWE) - 6%
Cheerleader Melissa (Was TNA but now Indy) - 5%
Madison Rayne (TNA) - 3%
Others- 39%

So out of seven named women, four were TNA.
Are the Divas losing their edge?

The Big Wrestlemania 26 Womens Match.....

2010-03-16T14:40:00.008-04:00

Wrestlemania 26 is scheduled to take place on March 28, 2010 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
And the big women's wrestling match for that night is....

Hang on...I'm looking....
Ummmm....
There doesn't seem to be one.
Oh I'm sure they'll announce one soon.

After all, Wrestlemania 25 had the 25-Diva battle royal to crown "Miss WrestleMania"....
Oh yeah....
Well the year before that they had the....Playboy BunnyMania Lumberjill match...
I forgot about that.....
Or at least I tried to....

I'm thinking a last minute add on will be Kelly, Eve and Gail Kim taking on Michelle McCool, Layla and Maryse.
Wow...that's not a very good match.
I'm probably wrong.
Right?

Well the WWE is more concerned about selling tickets and PPV sales.
So gorgeous women that can actually wrestle would detract from the main events right?

After all, no one cares about the Divas right?
I mean a Google search for the term WWE Diva only brings back 3,170,000 hits.

Well at least TNA has the Daffney/Tara feud going on.

Just think how cool that would be though if Tara went back to her old psycho gimmick.
Imagine Psychotic Tara vs Psychotic Daffney in a Clockwork Orange House of Fun match!
Now THAT would be a main event!

Female Wrestling, The FCW Divas

2010-02-26T14:35:00.010-05:00

Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) is the "training ground" for the WWE Superstars.
You may remember it's former incarnation, Championship Wrestling from Florida from "back in the day".

FCW may just be a developmental territory, but I've been watching some of the female wrestling matches from there, and I have to say, some of these wrestlers are pretty impressive, maybe even out-performing some of the Diva's on Raw and SmackDown!

I really wish they took more of their ring talent from the Indy wrestling promotions (like TNA has a habit of doing with SHIMMER), but as I said, from what I have seen, they have made some really good choices.
Yes...for once I am actually praising WWE.

So here are some of the women wrestlers currently wrestling for FCW, and waiting to move up to the WWE...

AJ Lee
AJ Lee was born April Jeanette on March 19, 1987 in Union City, New Jersey and was trained by Jay Lethal, Mo Sexton and Azrieal.

Aksana
Aksana or IFBB Figure Pro Zivile Raudoniene was signed by the WWE in October of 2009.

Courtney Taylor
Courtney Taylor (Beverly Mullins) was a model before she signed with the WWE, and has wrestled in FCW as Daisy, Wesley Holiday and Courtney Taylor.

Jemma Palmer
Jemma Palmer, an English model and former UK Gladiator, played Inferno on the UK version of American Gladiators called simply Gladiators.
Jenna is a trained submission wrestler which could make her character pretty interesting if they use that.

Jillian Beyor
Before FCW, Jillian was a model for Florida Bikinis, Hawaiian Tropic, Stare Magazine, Tropic Beauty, Monster Tower, was a member of the USA National Bikini Team, and apperaed on the CW reality show, Beauty and the Geek.
Yes, no wrestling experience.

Liviana
Liviana (Karlee Perez) got some press for being busted for a DWI in June of 2009.
She started out working under the ring name Candy Girl, then her name was changed to Liviana.

Naomi Night
Naomi Night (Trinity McCray) was a cheerleader for the Orlando Magic before she was signed by the WWE in August of 2009.
Again, no wrestling experience.

Sarona Snuka
Yes, this is the daughter of legendary WWF star Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka.
Sarona is related to wrestlers Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Afa Anoa'i, Samula Anoa'i, Solofa Fatu (Rikishi), Tonga Fifita (Meng, King Tonga) , the late Eddie Fatu (Umaga), Rodney Anoa'i (Yokozuna), Matt Anoa'i (Rosey) and more in this incredible wrestling family.

Of course many of the current WWE Divas were trained at FCW and have many appearances there including Savannah (Angela Fong), Natalya and Gail Kim.

For more details on the FCW you can go here:

Female Wrestling News and Rumors: Candice Michelle, Trish Stratus, Stacy Keibler and More

2010-02-05T12:25:00.002-05:00

More female wrestling news and rumors from the WWE and TNA....

Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus will be appearing in an independent Canadian action film called Bail Enforcers.
Trish will be playing the lead female role, Jules Taylor.
As you may have guessed from the title, it's an action film with lots of car chases, fights and gun play.
Trish as an action star?
You can find out more about the movie here:
http://www.bailenforcersmovie.com/
And you can see that it looks like Trish has gone back to a "dirty blonde".

And speaking of fitness, another former WWE Diva the lovely Kristal Marshall (Valet and real life girl friend of Bobby Lashley, wife on TNA) has really gotten into fitness as well.
She is now an IFBB Bikini Pro and ranked pretty high in the IFBB.
Kristal won Bikini Overall Champ at the 2009 NPC USA Championships and got her IFBB Pro card then later came in second place at the 2009 Arnold Classic bikini contest.
And she looks amazing.

Continuing on with former WWE Divas, yes Candice Michelle is pregnant and expecting this May.
You can find out more at her bog on GoDaddy here:
http://videos.godaddy.com/candice_video.aspx?ci=9121

Over at one on my other female wrestling blogs, I mentioned that because of her contract, Maria would not be able to appear on the WWE and Celebrity: Apprentice at the same time.
BUT, when asked about this on her Twitter account Maria said "I am not going anywhere."

And in other Maria news, the first single off her debut album Sevin Sins, "Fantasy" has a thirty-second preview up over at her website, www.MariaKanellisOnline.com.
The full album will be on iTunes on April 13, 2010.

If you are following TNA Knockout Angelina Love on Twitter...well you arent really following her.
Angelina stated on her Facebook account: "Hey Everyone, I know there are a lot of posers out there and I just wanted to clear up that I do NOT have a Twitter account! A lot of people have been asking me about twitter.com/TNA_AngelLove and I want you all to know that is NOT me..."
You know, there's a bunch of Angelina Love Facebook accounts too....

And speaking of TNA Knockouts, TNA's weekly webmatch is Sarita and Wilde wrestling Traci and ODB.
And thanks to the fine folks at TNA, you can see it here:

2010-01-29T12:45:00.007-05:00

WWE Diva and fan favorite Maria will be off WWE shows for awhile while her appearance on Celebrity Apprentice airs.
Maria has a clause in her contract that she can't appear on any other TV shows while Apprentice is airing.

Couple of quick Mickie James notes....

You can see that here:
http://mickiejames.com./

A belated happy birthday to WWE Diva Michelle McCool who turned 30 on January 25th.
Speaking of Michelle, have you noticed that she won the WWE Women's Championship back on June 28, 2009?
If you don't count the 10,778 day claim by the WWE for the Faboulous Moolah (WWE does not recognize any of the title changes before 1984) , that makes Michelle the twelfth longest reigning Women's Champion so far.

Over at http://trishstratus.com/, former WWE Diva Trish Stratus will be giving away one of four Trish Stratus outfits.
Donate ten dollars to Carmelina's Home there and you will be entered in the contest with a chance to win one of the costumes, including the one she wore at WrestleMania XIX in Seattle when she won the WWE Women's Championship.
Carmelina's is a holistic program in the treatment and recovery of addictions, substance abuse and/or emotional issues for women looking to transform and change their current life journey.

And another former WWE Diva, Lilian Garcia just sold the dress she wore at WrestleMania 21 on eBay for 780.00.

Looks like you can pick up a lot of wrestling gear on eBay these days....

And finally, the beautiful (and under-rated) Katie Lea Burchill has been moved back to the Raw roster.
As you recall, Katie was on Raw before being moved to the wasteland known as ECW.

Wrestling News and Rumors, Velvet Sky, Trish Stratus and More.....

2009-12-20T12:27:00.002-05:00

Today's edition has lot's of female wrestling news and rumors, including Velvet Sky and her bikini, Info on the Final Resolution TNA PPV, Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus having a birthday, a couple of wrestling results and of course, some female wrestling pics.

First up, a belated Happy Birthday to former WWE Diva and WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus, who turned 34 on December 18th.

I mentioned another former WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro hinting at a possible return to the ring on one of my other blogs....

Well the rumors continue (fueled by Ashley on her Twitter account) and we can add these tidbits....
"Thanks for asking my tattos are all good now and healed yay! And to answer ur ques i do plan on comin back to the ring...after traininwoohoo"
"watchin tna this evening aswell..."
"I'd love to host Raw one day, you never know? Always been fond of hosting, as long as I can be mysel.you guys know me, so i thinkyanowhatimn"
I said before I think she would be a perfect fit at TNA.....

Since Lauren Brooke is leaving TNA, Christy Hemme may be taking over as the backstage interviewer.

At the TNA PPV Final Resolution, ODB will be taking on Tara for the TNA Knockouts Championship.

And speaking of Tara, she is currently pitching a reality show featuring herself, spotlighting her attempt to cross over from pro wrestling to mixed martial arts.

And speaking of ODB, she was beaten on TNA Impact! by the returning Nicole Raczynski, better known as just Roxxi.

Another TNA Knockout Madison Rayne, has a Wish List up on Amazon.com.
You can check out the list here.

And finally, TNA Knockout Velvet Sky auctioned off the bikini that she wore on the Victory Road TNA PPV DVD cover.
The bikini finally went for $830.00 on e-Bay.
Pretty impressive.

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout News, Tara, Candice Michelle and More

2009-11-11T15:37:00.002-05:00

In less than three hours, Tara will be appearing at the The Frank & Son Collectible Show (located at 19649 E. San Jose Ave, City of Industry, CA) on November 11th.
(sorry about the late heads up guys)
But take heart...you can still see Lilian Garcia on November 21st, Candice Michelle on November 28th, and Lita on December 19th!
For more info, head over to the The Frank & Son Collectible Show website here:
http://www.frankandsonscollectibleshow.com/

And in other Tara news, the TNA Knockout and former WWE Diva is getting inducted into Rialto, CA Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Congratulations!

ODB has signed a multi-year deal with TNA, so it doesn't look like she will be going anywhere.
Evidently, she had been talking about going to the WWE when her contract with TNA expired in mid-November.
(source: www.pwtorch.com)

TNA Knockout Sarita (Sarah Stock) has a bunch of TNA themed pictures up on her website that you can see here:
http://sarah.newscott.com/other/gallery30.htm

At the Survivor Series on November 22, 2009 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., Team Mickie (Mickie James, Eve, Kelly Kelly, Melina and Gail Kim) will be taking on Team Michelle (Michelle McCool, Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Layla and Alicia Fox) in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match.

On another Survivor Series note, Maryse recently said that she will be back wrestling by then, so will we see a run in maybe?

TNA's No Surrender Tonight - The Knockouts

2009-09-20T14:26:00.002-04:00

On TNA's No Surrender PPV Tonight there will be two Knockout matches.

Well kinda.

First, ODB will be taking on Cody Deaner in a match for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
::sigh::
TNA, please don't let me down and further disrespect ODB.
Don't turn the TNA Knockouts Championship into a farce.
In case you hadn't guessed, I am one of the people not amused with the Cody Deaner antics.
I would hate to see TNA turn the widely praised and well regarded Knockouts division into a sideshow.

The second bout is The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne) going up against Taylor Wilde and Sarita.
See?
I praised you for bringing in the Womens Tag Team titles.
I'm gonna have to go with Taylor Wilde and Sarita for the win, and that would allow TNA to rebuild The Beautiful People's rep.

Speaking of The Beautiful People, I reported on my other blog that Angelina Love would be wrestling Brooke Carter at the Live Pro Wrestling event on Sunday, October 25th.
This isn't gonna happen.
Instead, TNA Knockout Velvet Sky will be stepping in to replace Angelina.

Female Wrestling Updates - Sept 12th

2009-09-12T18:57:00.002-04:00

In the latest edition of Hermie's Hotseat, Hermie interviews TNA Knockout Alissa Flash.
You can see the whole interview here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9zyrEQKVPo

The WWE Divas arent having a real good time right now what with Mickie James' ruptured breast implant and Michelle McCool's injured knee.
You can check out Michelle's blog for updates here

And you can add to the WWE Diva's distress, Kelly Kelly is working with an injured knee.

Pretty soon the top contenders will be the ones that aren't injured.

I imagine you have heard the rumors that World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is dating former WWE Diva Amy "Lita" Dumas.
Well the UK Sun has pretty much confirmed that.
You can read the whole article here

And here is a video of Velvet Sky and Don West promoting TNA's upcoming Bound For Glory Fan InterAction event at the Hilton Irvine in Irvine, California.
The event will be on Saturday, October 18, 2009.
Any excuse to see Velvet right?

On SmackDown! Friday night, Layla beat Melina with a little outside help from Michelle McCool and a crutch.

And on WWE Superstars, Nikki Bella defeated Katie Lea Burchill with a little outside help from her sister Brie.
Okay, a lot of outside help, Brie was the one that actually pinned Katie.

No More Angelina Love in TNA?

2009-09-05T16:19:00.002-04:00

Wow.
Former TNA Knockout champion and member of The Beautiful People, Angelina Love, has been released from TNA Wrestling.
Yes Angelina was released.
No more "Beautiful People"?
What about the TNA Knockout Tag Team Championship?

It appears that she was released because of problems with her work visa, Angelina being Canadian and all.
So what's next?
Get the issues straightened out and go back to TNA?
That can take a lot of time.
And despite the fact that we are on fairly good terms with our neighbors to the north, an expired work visa (two years expired according to some sources) you can still get deported.
Go to ::shudder:: the WWE?
(Look how well they have done with fellow Canadian Gail Kim...LOL)
Reboot The Beautiful People without her?
We'll just have to wait and see.
Let's hope this is resolved favorably soon.

Female Wrestling - WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Updates

2009-09-02T17:29:00.002-04:00

As I noted on my other blog, former WWE Diva Trish Stratus will be guest hosting WWE Monday Night Raw Toronto in a couple of weeks.
BTW, Trish and Stacy Keibler are both on the cover of "J. R.'s Cookbook : True Ringside Tales, BBQ, and Down-Home Recipies"
You can get it through the online store at JR's blog.
http://www.jrsbarbq.com/

It looks like Playboy has decided to dump Traci Brooks cover shot.
Her photos will be released online to members.
I wonder how this will affect their future relations with TNA?
Probably baddly because now Playboy wants to distance itself from pro wrestling.

This week on WWE SmackDown!, Layla and Natalya will be taking on Maria and Eve.

Okay TNA, for the last time....Cody Deaner is a MALE wrestler.
Get him out of the female division.
He should not be wrestling Tara or Alissa Flash.
I appreciate that you give the Knockouts WAY more air time than WWE gives the Divas, I really do.
Now just do this one thing for me okay?

AJ Styles, TNA Knockouts The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky) and Taylor Wilde will be appearing on MTV's "Made" this Sunday.
More info here:
http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/1667/84/

And speaking of the Beautiful People, you can watch a tag team match between Hamada and Sarita (my TNA dream team) and Angelina Love and Velvet Sky that took place at TNA's live event at the San Angelo Coliseum in San Antonio on YouTube.
It's a really good quality video.
You can see it here:

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 - The Divas

2009-08-30T12:43:00.000-04:00

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 should be coming out in October of this year, but the question I have is what Divas will be in it?
The game boasts 60 WWE superstars on the roster, but except for two, we dont know what female wrestlers will be on it.
The two we do know about are Maryse and Mickie James, since they are in all the promo shots.

But with an even better create a wrestler system (CAWS) , you could do your own Shimmer roster, or do the TNA Knockouts division right.
And one hopeful thing I read was that this year there will actually be a Diva plot included in the six storylines.
Now if I could just convince THQ to do that "Diva Legends" video game.......

Female Wrestling News - Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Jenna Morasca and More

2009-08-23T13:04:00.003-04:00

www.prowrestling.net is reporting that TNA Knockout Jenna Morasca will not be appearing on TNA programming for at least a few months.
She is currently in Samoa working as a contestant on the upcoming twentieth season of Survivor.
Filming has already started and will last through next month.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated has named Mickie James the number one female wrestler in the second annual PWI Female 50.
The PWI Female 50 ranks the best women's wrestlers in the United States in 2009.
Last years winner was TNA Knockout Awesome Kong.
I've seen this mentioned at several sites, but the first place I saw the news was at Diva Dirt.

I've mentioned a few times about the WWE not using Beth Phoenix recently, and now the Wrestling Observer reports that WWE officials have soured on Beth Phoenix.
As you may recall, Beth went almost a month without appearing on TV, and people were begining to worry about her future with the WWE.
One rumor was that she was "too big" for the WWE's tastes.

The Kurt Angle situation is beginning to sound like a bad Lifetime movie with Kurt, Rhaka Khan, Jeff Jarrett and Karen Angle, restraining orders etc.
And add to that what people have been saying for months about Rhaka being a looney.
Remember the Rhaka Khan/Roxxi incident?

Cheerleader Melissa / Alissa Flash - Awesome Kong Birthday Party

2009-08-13T14:41:00.002-04:00

Yes it's open to the public.

Talk about relating to your fans.
Ever seen anything like this in female wrestling?
Or just wrestling in general?

Female Wrestling Updates, August 9, 2009

2009-08-09T15:14:00.004-04:00

Several updates today....

Over at Tuccioholic.com, Ken Tuccio has a list of the most degrading moments in WWE Diva history.
I agree with all of them and think there's really enough material for a part two if he wants to go that far.....
http://tuccioholic.com/degrading.htm

It looks like Lilian Garcia's final WWE show will be RAW in Las Vegas on August 24th, right after her ten-year anniversary show at the SummerSlam PPV.

Remember Baby Doll?
Well Mike Mooneyham has a big article on the life of Nickla Roberts with pictures that you can see here.

You probably already know that WWE Diva Nikki Bella and Dolph Ziggler are dating right?

And I had an entry back on my other female wrestling blog back in February about Brooke Hogan maybe going to the WWE.
It appears my idea wasn't new, as Brooke told the Sun that Vince McMahon has approached her a number of times about becoming a Diva.
Brooke said in the article that
"The WWE have told me that if I ever want to become a wrestler all I need to do is walk through the door and they'll give me a job straight away.

You can read the full article here

The Divas Versus the Knockouts, Who Would Win? Part One

2009-08-05T21:29:00.000-04:00

So who would win in a knock down drag out brawl between the WWE Divas and the TNA Knockouts?
I decided to try this out myself in my head.
Now I have to admit, I only have about 30 some odd years of watching wrestling and 14 years of martial arts experience to base this stuff on, so your mileage may vary.

Well first up, the Divas have a slight number advantage, 17 on the roster as opposed to 15 on the Knockouts side.

Both teams get their Captains....
Since this is war, the Diva's differ to the most experienced women on their roster.
Believe it or not, Jillian debuted in 1998 as Macaela Mercedes on the independent circuit.
Mickie James debuted in 1999, so there you have the two captains.

The Knockouts have a harder time.
ODB, Daffney, Alissa (Cheerleader Melissa), and Ayako all debuted in 1998-1999.
So in the spirit of co-operation, the Knockouts get four Captains.

So first off we have the WWE "rookie" Brie Bella against the TNA rookie, Madison Rayne.
Brie has held the...ummmm....well she was on the Fox reality show Meet My Folks.....
Madison on the other hand was the Ohio Championship Womens Wrestling Champ twice and one half of the Shimmer Tag Team Championship with Nevaeh.
So advantage Madison.

First match, Madison over Brie.

Second match, Brie's sister Nikki against Knockout "bad girl" (or loon) Rhaka Khan.
Nikki was...ummm...okay, she was one of the World Cup Twins for Budweiser....
Rhaka on the other hand is six foot two and has wrestled for Deep South Wrestling (DSW), Japan's Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX, Full Impact Pro, Women's Extreme Wrestling and the Professional Girl Wrestling Association.
Advantage Rhaka.

Second match, Rhaka over Nikki.

Third match, Alicia Fox versus Christy Hemme.
Alicia was actually the OVW Women's Champion at one time.
Christy has wrestled for WWE, TNA, Queens of Chaos in France, Heavy on Wrestling and Women Superstars Uncensored.
Gonna have to give this one to Christy.

Third Match, Christy over Alicia.

Fourth match, Sojourner Bolt versus Layla.
Layla was a dancer for Carnival Cruise Lines and the Miami Heat.
Sojo was the Midwest Intensity Wrestling Women's Champion, the NWA Midwest Women's Champion, the OVW Women's Champion three times, the World League Wrestling Women's Champion twice, and the Hardcore Wrestling Association Women's Champion.
Layla, no matter how hot she is, is lucky to get outta this one alive.

Fourth match, Sojo wipes the mat up with Layla.

Fifth match, Taylor Wilde versus Kelly Kelly.
Okay, I admit it, I hated Kelly at first. But she has improved.
But putting the former Hawaiian Tropic and Venus Swimwear bikini model against the former New Vision Pro Wrestling Womens Champion, RingDivas FightGirl World Champion, TNA Women's Knockout Champion and co-holder of the Women Superstars Uncensored Tag Team Championship (with Amy Lee)?
Advantage Taylor.

Fifth match, Taylor Wilde.

Sixth match, Rosa Mendes versus Sarita.
Now Rosa did hold the Ohio Valley Wrestling Women's Championship once.
While Sarita (Sarah Stock/Dark Angel) has only held the Can-Am Wrestling Women's Championship, Federación Internacional de Lucha Libre Women's Championship and the Lucha Libre Feminil Juvenil Championship....I have seen the brutal matches with Dark Angel versus Princesa Sugey. At least one went 45 minutes.
Sarita easy.

Sixth match, Sarita over Rosa.

Now we get down to Awesome Kong versus..well lets just get Eve and Maria out of this now.
The 6'1, 272 pound Kong versus Eve and Maria both at once.
Eve, 5'8, 131 and Maria 5'7, 120 pounds.
One Awesome Bomb and one Awesome Splash and Maria and Eve are on the injured reserve list.

Seventh match, Awesome Kong.

Now the Diva's are really beginning to worry.
But they are down to the core fighters on both sides.
And things may change just a bit in part two.....

Female Wrestling News and Updates

2009-07-30T18:22:00.002-04:00

Tonight on SmackDown!, there will be womens tag team action with WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool and Layla facing Eve and Melina.

WWE Diva Maryse has successfully undergone knee surgery performed by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama.
We don't know when she'll be back in the wrestling ring.

Over at The Heyman Hustle, they have some great pics of former ECW "Extreme Expose" dancer , sometimes wrestler and Miss Hawaiian Tropic Texas 2008, Brooke Adams.

If you missed the Jenna Morasca / Sharmell match up at victory road, you can see it here on YouTube.

Tonight is the 200th episode of TNA Impact! on Spike, and the Knockout action will be The Beautiful People taking on Tara, Awesome Kong and ODB.

The Beautiful Women of Wrestling 2 to Female Wrestling

2009-07-25T22:34:00.000-04:00

Yes I have changed the title of the blog.
Why?
Well I already have my blog The Beautiful Women of Wrestling, and this one being The Beautiful Women of Wrestling 2 just seemed to kinda make this one just seem like the others "weak sister".
So I decided to make the title Female Wrestling, because that's what its all about right?
I considered actually making it a "Name My Blog" thing, but after some of the comments I have to go through, I was afraid....LOL
But I'll still continue to do WWE Divas here and TNA Knockouts, both past present and future.
I used to focus more on TNA here and more on WWE on the other, but since the WWE seems to be anti-blogger right now, I might just stay with TNA because they seem to like free publicity.
Anyway, I thought I'd post a reason why this occurred and let everyone know whats going on.

So stay tuned for more female wrestling.......

Night of Champions Update and Where in the World is Beth Phoenix?

2009-07-24T16:31:00.001-04:00

Does this look ugly to you?

On WWE's Night of Champions pay-per-view this Sunday, Michelle McCool will be defending her WWE Women's Championship against Melina.
Look for a build up tonight on Smackdown!

And speaking of Smackdown!, Eve will be going up against Natalya in a women's match.

And speaking of champions...where is Beth Phoenix?
Well get ready to boil Phoenix fans.....
It seems the WWE isn't pushing her right now, favoring the more slender women on Raw.
Yep, you heard it right.
They are downplaying Beth so they can play with their Barbies.
One of the best natural wrestlers they have is being sidelined because she's too "big".
I included a pic from the recent Flex Magazine photo shoot she did to show you why Beth is considered too big.
Gosh, she looks hideous doesn't she?
::holds up sarcasm sign::

Swimsuit Summer Spectacular

2009-07-15T16:19:00.000-04:00

Yes WWE had a Swimsuit Summer Spectacular match Monday night on RAW.
And yes, all the girls were in bikinis for the match.
So I guess apartment house wrestling has finally invaded the WWE.
I have nothing against the Divas in bikinis.
I think its great.
But in a match?
We are supposed to take them seriously right?

Okay it was Gail Kim, Mickie James and Kelly Kelly against Maryse, Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox.
Maryse won the match for her team when she hit a DDT on Mickie.

WWE Diva News: Kelly Kelly, Victoria, Mickie James

2009-06-11T12:42:00.002-04:00

Kelly Kelly took on Divas Champion Maryse on Monday Night Raw this week.
Kelly had gotten a win a few weeks back by disqualification but disqualification doesn't win any belts.
So this week she climbed into the ring and the Divas Champion came out on top.
Maryse wasn't satisfied with just winning though, and afterward slapped Kelly which brought in Mickie James who had been sitting at ringside providing additional commentary.
Of course this lead to more heat for the Maryse / Mickie James feud.

Although she isn't a WWE female wrestler, she is still very well liked.
But could Lilian Garcia be leaving Raw?
Evidently the WWE has put out a notice to talent agencies that reads:

"WWE Announcer/Singer / Female / All Ethnicities / 20 - 30

Description: WWE is looking for a young, attractive female to sing the national anthem and be our regular ring announcer every week, for one of our most popular TV shows (WWE is estimated to be seen in 500,000,000 households in 150 countries/30 languages)...

This is a breakout job for any young singer. Please specify on submissions if anyone has appeared on American Idol, making the Band or any show of this comparison.

Rate:depends on talent"

Lilian made her debut on the August 23, 1999 episode of Raw, so she has been with the company quite a while.
Lilian leaving though is..well...unthinkable.

Victoria (Okay I know she's Tara now, but will that ever take?) has posted on her MySpace blog about why she left the WWE, why she joined TNA, and if she is continuing with her goal of an MMA career.
You can read it here

Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendes will be taking on Nikki and Brie Bella in a tag team match this week on WGN America's WWE Superstars.

Female Wrestling News: Lena Yada, Christy Hemme, Candice Michelle and More.....

2009-06-05T15:07:00.003-04:00

Former WWE Diva, Lena Yada will take on Christina Von Eerie this Saturday in San Franciso, CA. at ChickFight.

http://www.chickfight.tv/2009/06/02/former-wwe-diva-lena-yada-takes-on-christina-von-eerie-in-san-francisco/

ShortAndSweetNYC.com has an interview with Another former WWE Diva and current TNA Knockout, Christy Hemme up over at their website.....
" Christy Hemme has been many things: a model, a Juggy Dancer on The Man Show, a wrestling Diva in the WWE and a Knockout in TNA and she even makes time to visit the troops in Afghanistan. Now you can add musician into the mix as her band Hemme recently dropped their first EP Where Are You and has a full length album coming out next year. I had the chance to sit down and talk to Christy about her recent wrestling neck injury, music, and more."

You can read the full interview here:
http://www.shortandsweetnyc.com/2009/06/interview-christy-hemme.html

And finally, Candice Michelle will be returning to WWE Smachdown! tonight, teaming with Layla and Alicia Fox against Gail Kim, Melina and Eve.
So Candice is back as a heel huh?

UPDATE: Nope...it wasn't Candice Michelle, it was Michelle McCool.

Should I even mention that at the WWE Extreme Rules PPV, the only semi womens match will be Vickie Guerrero against Santina Marella in a Hog Pen match for the title of "Miss WrestleMania"?
Nah...I didnt think I should either.

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout News, Victora / Tara, Maryse and Melina

2009-05-29T11:50:00.001-04:00

Former WWE Diva Victoria did show up on TNA, and now her name is Tara.
Tara?
In case you missed it, you can see "Tara" take out the Beautiful People.....

As of right now, WWE Diva Maryse has had the longest run of any WWE Divas Champion.
Well there's only been two....but so what?
She has held the title for 157 days and counting, which breaks Michelle McCool's previous record of 155 days.
Yay?

Speaking of Michelle, she said in her WWE Universe blog that Melina broke her nose in a recent match.

And continuing on with Michelle, she and Triple H will be in Japan in July at the MTV Japan Movie Awards.
They wil also be doing promotional events to help promote WWE's tour there.

Tonight on WWE SmackDown!, you'll get to see Melina versus Alicia Fox, and Eve Torres versus Layla El.

Victoria to TNA?

2009-05-24T20:19:00.004-04:00

Is it true?
Has the former WWE Diva gone to TNA to become a Knockout?
Can I possibly hope that she will go back to her psycho days and team up with...Daffney?
Is that too much to hope for?

Okay, I have the perfect idea....
Dr Stevie is Daffney's "therapist", so after having some trouble he calls in another "patient" he has had a lot of luck with....VICTORIA!
So of course instead of making things better, Victoria and Daffney team up with Dr Stevie as their manager and carnage ensues.

But wait a minute.... what about Victoria's MMA hopes?
Ahhhh heck, Lashley is doing both, let her go for it!

Last Night on Smackdown, Michelle McCool and Gail Kim

2009-05-23T15:15:00.003-04:00

Gail Kim got beat last night by Michelle McCool in a number one contender match on Smackdown.
Well that's kinda to be expected right?
I don't think they are ready to do face versus face and have Melina go up against Gail.
The match was good, as the matches with Gail and Michelle are.
Gail looked like she is moving back towards her "submission specialist" move set.
Maybe the WWE writers ARE reading my blogs since I stated awhile back that I thought she should do that.
If so...thank you!
Mixing pro wrestling with MMA style submissions (especially in the Diva's division) is to me a very good idea.
female submission wrestling is very popular on the net, and the WWE could tap into that easily.

Picture this.....
A male heel comes out and starts running his mouth.
One of the Divas comes out and tells him to shut up.
Since she's a girl, the heel takes a swing at her.
The Diva ducks the swing, trips him and clamps on a kimura or a keylock or an armbar or even a triangle choke, applies the pressure and makes him tap out!
This instantly makes up for Wrestlemania and suddenly gives the Diva division new street cred.

Outlandish you may say?
As I recall, martial arts were originally designed so that smaller, weaker opponents could take out larger stronger ones.
You know Bruce Lee was about 5 '6 and his weighed in at around 145.
Gail has her submission moves, Beth Phoenix was a collegiate wrestler and aren't Michelle and Maryse also trained in martial arts?

Now if you read my blogs, you know how much I hate gimmick matches.
But if done right, this could elevate the Diva division to new heights.
And BTW, lets make that a one shot, limited storyline thing with a male wrestler.
I don't really wanna see Triple H versus Maryse as the main even on Raw.

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout News

2009-05-15T13:56:00.005-04:00

WrestleZone.com has an article and interview with former TNA Knockout Roxxi Laveaux at their site.

I can't blame her.

And the WWE has signed blonde model and dancer Rachael Carr, who has been a body double for Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue to a developmental deal.
Imagine this, if things go well with her training, we could see a female British stable with Katie Lee, Layla El and Rachael.

TNA will be bringing back Rhaka Khan after she gets some more training.
Rhaka (Trenesha Biggers) hasn't had a singles match on TNA yet.
And that's a shame because before TNA, this young lady wrestled for the WWE's Deep South Wrestling (DSW), Japan's Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX, Full Impact Pro, Women's Extreme Wrestling and the Professional Girl Wrestling Association.
I think she has a lot of potential.
But a major draw back here is that according to reports, not a lot of the Knockouts care for Rhaka.

At the TNA pay per view, Sacrifice, the TNA Knockout Championship match will most likely be Angelina Love against Awesome Kong in a stretcher match.
Kong has already beaten "Beautiful People" members Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne in stretcher matches.

You may also see TNA Knockout Jacqueline back on TV in the not too far future.

Lots of TNA Knockout stuff.....

2009-05-04T20:25:00.003-04:00

Evidently TNA Knockout Jenna Morasca is more than a little angry over people wondering just why she is in TNA.
And apparently it was an article by Dave Meltzer at www.wrestling-edge.com that drove her over the edge.
Mr. Meltzer had written that many in the company (TNA) are wondering exactly why she was signed.
Jenna responded to this in a post on her MySpace blog.
You can read it here:
http://www.myspace.com/jennamorasca

I have to admit I wondered why Jenna was signed as well.
BUT...I wondered why Michelle McCool and Maryse were signed by the WWE, and one of them is now the ex-Diva's Champ and one is the current.
So I have been wrong.

And it seems now that Roxxi actually requested her release from TNA.
She was serving a 60-day suspension for an incident backstage with Rhaka Khan that turned physical.
And some insiders felt that Roxxi was getting a bad deal because of the relationship Kurt Angle has with Rhaka.
Yeah I thought about that too, I just didn't say anything.

There's an article at The Daily Press about TNA Knockout Traci Brooks speaking to students about overcoming Erb's Palsy in her right arm.
I had heard about that, but I had no idea that Traci couldn't raise her right arm over her head.
You can read the full article here:
http://www.timminspress.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1551052

And lastly, TNA has released the "Knockouts Blaster Pack" at their store.
It's a set of exclusive licensed trading cards produced by TRISTAR.
You can check them out here:

TNA Knockout Updates

2009-05-01T16:30:00.002-04:00

O-D-B

A couple of TNA updates today....

There's a webmatch between ODB and Velvet Sky posted on YouTube....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1aLWUvj1LY

It appears that TNA Knockout Roxxi has been released from the company.
At least her profile is gone from the TNA website.
Roxxi and Rhaka Khan have been serving a 60-day suspension as punishment for a backstage altercation several weeks ago at iMPACT!
For the moment Rhaka seems to be safe since her profile is still up.

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

2009-04-29T14:28:00.006-04:00

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

2009-04-24T16:44:00.002-04:00

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.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/24/law.nowinski/index.html

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

2009-04-17T12:55:00.002-04:00

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

2009-04-11T15:25:00.004-04:00

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

2009-04-08T20:30:00.000-04:00

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

2009-04-01T15:23:00.002-04:00

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.....

An update from Traci Brooks on her MySpace blog.....

"hey everyone

i was firing a 240 off of an M rap and the shell kicked back and fell down my shirt and burnt me pretty bad..."

I don't even know what to say.
There are about a million things that spring to mind.....
But all I will say is that I hope Traci recovers quickly.
You can read her blog at her MySpace page here:

TNA looking for a new lead Knockout

2009-03-13T12:48:00.001-04:00

Ms.Payton Banks (Rain)

TNA is looking for a lead face Knockout to replace the void left by Gail Kim.
The Sarah Stock signing looks like it's marred in paperwork at the moment with her having to fulfill commitments to CMLL.
So where do they go to get the "next big thing"?
TNA has a habit of getting REAL wrestlers, so dont look for any bikini models.
I figure they will go to the Indys, SHIMMER in particular.

They have already used Ms. Payton Banks (Rain), and I think they should have kept her.
(BTW, Angelina Love and Rain have a limited edition poster for sale on ebay. It's personalized and autographed and you get a certificate of Authenticity AND a 4x6 picture of Angelina and Rain signing the poster.
You can see the auction here
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180336146947
The current bid at this moment is $58.00. )

How cool would it be to see MsChif in TNA?
Daffney (Shannon Spruill) is already there, so that combo as a tag team or Daffney as her manager...awesome.

Sara Del Rey?
VERY talented.

Mercedes Martinez?
Again, very talented and experienced.

Victoria?
She left the WWE. But it looks like we may see her in MMA first.

Daizee Haze?
I think Daizee would be a good choice, and she has worked some TNA matches in the past.

Allison Danger?
That would be too good. Allison and Cheerleader Melissa on the same show?

WWE Divas News

2009-03-12T21:04:00.002-04:00

Candice Michelle, healed in time for Wrestlemania?

Catalina White (aka Saylor James) was released from FCW (WWE's training ground) for getting a tattoo.....?
Since her ring name was "James" there was a rumor she would be brought up to the WWE as Mickie James "sister".

There is a rumor floating around that Chris Jericho is dating Kelly Kelly.
Isn't Chris married?

Candice Michelle is still recuperating from her ankle injury.
The accident prone Diva is expected to be back in action by March 23 for the WWE Raw show in Kansas City, Missouri.

Lilian Garcia will be singing "God Bless America" at the Big East Semi-Final Championship on March 13th at Madison Square Garden.

It appears Madusa will not be at Wrestlemania 25. She said on Madusa.com that her wrestling was in the past.

TNA Wrestling, Traci Brooks and SoCal Val

2009-03-05T09:34:00.002-05:00

On March 14th through the 25th, several celebrities from sports and entertainment will be making a trip to Iraq to support our troops there.
Among the celebrities that are going will be TNA Knockouts Traci Brooks and SoCal Val.
This is Traci's second trip to Iraq for the troops, the first was in 2006.
Traci and SoCal also have a new photo shoot up at TNAwrestling.com, that looks like they may be pushing the idea that SoCal had for the TNA Knockouts to pose for a certain well known men's magazine that the WWE supposedly isn't going to work with anymore.
Besides the new photo shoot, you can get updates on the Traci / SoCal trip to Iraq there as well.
They also have footage posted from Traci's first trip.

You know Wrestlemania 25 isn't that far away.
What's the Divas match going to be?
Please tell me it's not gonna be a gimmick match, or an intergender match.
Please just let two divas get the spotlight that night with no extra baggage.

TNA Signs Madison Rayne and Sarah Stock

2009-02-18T11:54:00.003-05:00

TNA has always seemed to take their women's wrestling division more seriously than the WWE.
While the WWE will sign up models and people with little or no wrestling background, TNA seems to go to the ranks of the Indy promotions to get their talent.
Their latest two sign ups to the TNA roster are no different.

Madison Rayne made her pro wrestling debut in 2006 and has worked for World Xtreme Wrestling, Ohio Championship Wrestling, Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling, SHIMMER Women Athletes, Insanity Pro Wrestling and Big Time Wrestling among others.
Shes also held the OCW Women's Championship twice and currently holds one half of the Shimmer Tag Team Championship along with her partner Nevaeh.

TNA's other recent acquisition is CMLL's Canadian Luchadora Sarah Stock or Dark Angel. I have done tons of write ups on Sarah on my Luchadora blogs so there's not a lot I can add here.
But I cannot wait until Sarah steps into the TNA octagon to see how she does there.

Former WWE Diva Ashley to Return to WWE?

2009-02-12T12:21:00.000-05:00

Is Ashley coming back to the WWE?
On her MySpace blog she put this in her latest entry.....
" Happened to speak to Johnny Ace this week. Hmmmmm, let yall wonder about that one...hehe."
In case you are wondering, Johnny Ace was the ring name of John Laurinaitis who besides being the brother of Joe Laurinaitis (Road Warrior Animal), is an executive with the WWE.
As a matter of fact, he is the Senior Vice President of Talent Relations.
So if Ashley is talking to him, could that mean a possible return to the wrestling ring?

Staten Island Super Sign

2009-02-04T17:41:00.004-05:00

Super Sign will be having an event Saturday, February 7th at the Hilton Garden Inn, Staten Island NY.
Some of the female wrestling celebrities that will be there will be Christy Hemme, Miss Jackie (Jackie Gayda), Shelly Martinez, ODB, Francine Fournier, Ryan Shamrock, Gorgeous George, Sunny (Tammy Sitch), Missy Hiatt, and Lita (Amy Dumas).
For more info check out their MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/statenislandsupersign

You gotta admit, it sounds like one heck of an event.

The Return of GLOW ?

2009-01-31T12:31:00.001-05:00

Today we take a step away from WWE and TNA.....

Big Vision Entertainment (the creators of Wrestling Society X) look to be restarting GLOW.
They had an open casting call on Tuesday January 27th. 2009, looking for new wrestlers.
Well not just new wrestlers, as their press release said, " You do not need experience in professional wrestling to take part. We are looking for a very wide range of types and styles of people. "

So I'm guessing what they are doing is getting good looking women, testing them for camera presence and then going on to train them as wrestlers?
As you probably already know, GLOW was formed in 1985 by David B. McLane along with Jackie Stallone (yes Sylvester Stallone's mother).
It was kinda like Hee Haw with wrestling.
It had colorful characters, beautiful women, and over-the-top (read dumb) comedy sketches.

As you may also know, that's where Lisa Moretti (WWE's Ivory) got her start as Tina Ferrari, and Mando Guerrero (the son of legendary Gory Guerrero and the brother of Chavo, Hector Guerrero and Eddie Guerrero) was the original GLOW trainer.

I'm interested to see how this will pan out.
Even though I watched GLOW in it's heyday, I can't sit through an entire episode now.
Are they going to reboot the series?
Make it serious this time?
Female wrestling does fairly well in Lucha Libre and Joshi Puroresu is a constant draw in Japan.
How could GLOW expect to out do SHIMMER in the US?

WWE Divas Last Night On WWE Raw

2009-01-27T14:02:00.002-05:00

Last night on WWE Raw, Melina and Kelly Kelly took on Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall.
The match didn't last long because Rosa Mendez ran in.
Where was she at the Royal Rumble?
Anyway, her interference allowed Beth Phoenix to get the win.

The big question right now is will Trish Stratus have a match at Wrestlemania 25?
The two main ideas for possible opponents seem to be Beth Phoenix or Michelle McCool.
But why? Both of them are ex-champions.
Either way, a Trish Stratus appearance is sure to sell tickets, even if it makes no sense.

WWE's Royal Rumble and TNA's Against All Odds

2009-01-25T14:21:00.002-05:00

Of course tonight is the WWE's Royal Rumble PPV in Detroit.
The Women's Wrestling Champion Beth Phoenix will be facing Melina.
And if Rosa Mendes doesn't show up or interfere, I'll put away my crystal ball.

At TNA's "Against All Odds" PPV on February 8th Awesome Kong will be wrestling ODB in a Knockout's Title Match.
I had heard that Kong has a couple of physical problems, so I wonder how this is gonna work out.
I can't really see ODB getting the title belt.

More Victoria News, WWE Diva to TNA Knockout?

2009-01-23T13:42:00.002-05:00

And more to add to the Victoria story......

It seems now that TNA is interested in signing the former WWE Diva.
Could this happen?
If the WWE let her go, it could happen in 90 days. If they let her retire but kept her on her contract, she'd be tied up till the contract expires.
And would she even go to TNA?
A TNA schedule would be much less grueling than a WWE schedule. Less touring, less house shows.
And TNA would most likely give Victoria the push that the WWE didnt seem to want to.
Victoria as the TNA Knockouts Women's Champion?

With Awesome Kong being out longer than was anticipated, the womens ranks need some juice.
Christy Hemme has already worked with Victoria.
Raisha Saeed (Cheerleader Melissa) had a tryout match on the May 26, 2006 edition of WWE Heat against Victoria.
Velvet Sky also worked a match on WWE Heat with Victoria.
Sharmell and Jacqueline of course knows her from their WWE days.
So it's not like she wouldn't have any friends in the locker room.

But really, as much as I can see it happening, I really don't think it will.

The Top Four Female Managers

2009-01-15T14:44:00.005-05:00

WWE.com released their list of the 25 greatest managers of all time.
And out of the list, four women were on it.
In order they are....

8. Miss Elizabeth
Elizabeth Ann Hulette debuted on the August 24, 1985 edition of WWF Prime Time Wrestling as the manager of Randy Savage

11. Sherri Martel
Sherri Schrull started out as a wrestler, but went on to manage Ted DiBiase, The Honky Tonk Man, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) among others.

13. Sunny
Tamara Lynn Sytch, widely considered as one of the first WWE Divas, managed Chris Candido, Billy Gunn, Rhino, Lance Storm and Tito Santana and several others.

22. Terri Runnels
Terri Lynne Boatright Runnels managed Goldust, Edge and Christian, Matt and Jeff Hardy, the York Foundation and many more.

WWE Diva Victoria to Retire From Wrestling

2009-01-14T14:10:00.002-05:00

Okay, here is some news I'm not happy to be reporting.
The rumors have been running around for awhile, but it seems now that WWE Diva Victoria really is retiring from wrestling .
I know it's probably for her best, but I have to admit I'm gonna miss her.
I've loved her since she first turned up on Raw and blindsided Trish Stratus.
I remember wincing the first time I saw the Widow's Peak applied.
But she's been in the WWE longer than any other Diva (I think) and I can understand her wanting to move on.
Victoria, you'll be missed.

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Updates

2009-01-13T15:15:00.002-05:00

Last nights women's wrestling match on WWE Raw really wasn't a match.
Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall were supposed to wrestle Kelly Kelly and Melina.
Beth and Jillian were already in the ring waiting and Kelly came out followed by Melina.
Then suddenly Rosa Mendez, who was posing as one of the photographers, jumped Melina and knocked her down.
See I told you that ban wouldn't work...LOL
Security grabs Rosa and hauls her off and Kelly goes to check on Melina at which time the heels decide it's a good time to attack.
So they do and pretty much decimate Kelly and Melina.
Thus the match is ruled No Contest.

Now....who can see a three woman tag team match in the distance?

Over at TNA, Roxxi, Taylor Wilde and ODB will be facing The Kongtourage on TNA iMPACT!

Also over at TNA, Christy Hemme and Awesome Kong may be out a bit as Christy is having trouble with discs in her neck, and Kong has a back injury.
Christy may be looking at surgery.

Female Wrestling on WWE Raw Last Night

2009-01-06T15:18:00.004-05:00

Well we had one and a half women's wrestling matches last night on Raw.
First, Goldust and Melina took on Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella.
Goldust and Melina...really not a bad idea. I kinda like that.
Anyway, Goldust and Melina won which of course cued the attack by Rosa.
Her and Melina went at it a bit till security once again broke it up.

Then Kelly Kelly took on Jillian Hall.
Although Jillian pretty much ran the whole match Kelly managed to get the win.
Afterwards Jillian attacked Kelly which cued......Kane.

So the mixed match was a Diva's promo, and the women's match was a Kane promo.
I'm still waiting for the day that we see an actual women's tag team match and a women's single match both on the same night.
I can't really rip the mixed tag team matches that hard since in Lucha Libre, one of the promotions even has a Mixed Tag Team belt.
But I would like to see the women's matches focused on the women's storylines.

BTW, Stephanie McMahon "officially" banned Rosa Mendes from WWE events last night.
We'll see how long that lasts.

Melina, Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendes

2008-12-30T14:19:00.003-05:00

Well things got a lot more interesting on WWE Raw last night.
For me at least.
At the Race to the Rumble Divas Battle Royal, it was down to Mickie James and Melina. After a back and forth battle, Melina finally eliminated her to become the new number one contender for the WWE Women's Wrestling Championship.
Of course this doesn't sit well with current champion Beth Phoenix, who walks out to the ring, slaps Melina and tosses her to the floor.
Bad move.
Melina goes fool and attacks Beth until she gets her on top of the announcers table and is pounding away at her.
THEN, out of nowhere Rosa Mendes (Beth's number one fan...shades of Mickie and Trish) and leaps onto Melina, prompting security to come out and drag Rosa away.
Well Rosa is the drop dead gorgeous (IMHO) Milena Roucka from Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling.

I'm about to say forget Melina and Beth, let's see Melina and Rosa!
Can you imagine these two, Latin blood boiling, going at it in the squared circle?
Forget wrestling, this could be the ultimate feud if played right.
Melina has a good wrestling background and Roucka has been training at OVW and FCW and has some MMA training as well.
Let's see how the WWE handles it.
I'm not gonna assume they screw it up right off the bat this time like I usually do.

Rhaka Khan's Birthday!

2008-12-26T16:43:00.001-05:00

First off, besides being Christmas, yesterday was TNA Knockouts Rhaka Khan (Trenesha Biggers) Birthday!
So Happy Birthday Rhaka!

And two, I may have spoken too soon about TNA not subjecting their female wrestlers to gimmick matches like the WWE does.....
A "Santa's Workshop Knockout Street Fight"?
Really, these ladies are talented enough to have good solid matches without all this.
I know it's the Holidays.
And yes I do have a problem with the " Halloween Costume Contests" so it's not just Christmas.
Anyway, ODB, Christy Hemme, Roxxi and Taylor Wilde won and we don't have to dread anything like this again till maybe February.
I cringe thinking about a "Valentines Day Sweethearts Match".

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Updates

2008-12-23T12:04:00.008-05:00

Tons of stuff today.......

1. Remember the heel turn I predicted for Michelle awhile back?
Well it looks like a reality. Watch this weeks WWE Smackdown and see what I mean.
Man, I predicted this awhile back.
And I'm still not writing for the WWE?

2. On Monday Night Raw, Trish DID get to face Beth Phoenix!
Okay, it was in a tag team match with John Cena and Trish against Beth and Santino Marella, but still.
Again I predicted it!

3. Melina returned!
She had a tag team with her and Mickie James against Layla and Jillian Hall.
Okay, yeah I know I predicted Melina would return awhile back and I missed that one.
Two outta three ain't bad.
Ask Meatloaf.

4. Kara Drew, former WWE Diva Cherry, has a post at http://www.cherry-web.org/ addressing her release from the WWE and it's aftermath on her life.
When reading this, remember that BEFORE the WWE, Kara wrestled on the Indy Circuit for about 2 years.

5. TNA's Frankie "Kaz" Kazarian (Suicide) and Traci "Knockout Law" Brooks just got engaged.
Congratulations to both of them, even though I did NOT see that one coming.

6. Victoria posted an entry on her MySpace blog regarding her retirement.
Okay I made a prediction about that one, let's see if that pays off.

That about wraps it up.
But think about this, with all these "hits" I keep getting, am I psychic, or is wrestling just that predictable?

WWE: Santa's Little Helper Match, TNA: Knockout Street Fight

2008-12-15T13:57:00.002-05:00

You might get to see current WWE Women's Wrestling Champion Beth Phoenix and Former WWE Women's Wrestling Champion Trish Stratus face off tonight.
I say MIGHT because the rumor is that Trish will be there tonight at Raw.
You probably already know Beth has issued an open challenge to the ex-champ.
Raw will be in Toronto this week so.....

Last night at WWE Armageddon they had the ::sigh:: Santa's Little Helper Match.
Okay I know it's tradition and it's supposed to be cute I guess.....
But "serious" female wrestlers dressed up in Santa's Little Helpers costumes?
I wasn't even gonna mention it, but I am mentioning it to highlight this.....
On this weeks TNA Impact!, they will be having a A Knockout Street Fight: Christy Hemme and ODB versus Rhaka Khan and Raisha Saeed.
WWE: Santa's Little Helper Match
TNA: Knockout Street Fight
Does anyone else see the difference in the way the two promotions treat their wrestlers?

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon Feud?

2008-12-12T14:11:00.000-05:00

Okay I know that Stephanie McMahon technically isn't a wrestler.
Although she did hold the WWF Women's Wrestling Championship at one point.
But this blog deals with beautiful women of wrestling and Stephanie Marie McMahon-Levesque has always had a pretty loyal, almost rabid on occasion, fanbase so I think she's okay to include here.
Anyway, the The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE creative has been discussing an on-air feud between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
You know when DX was on TV a lot awhile back, they made several references to Triple H being married to "you know who".
Of course Stephanie has been involved in several on screen story lines with Triple H (and some off screen ones as well...Chyna?).
One thing that might be holding the storyline back is that she has been having trouble dropping the extra weight after their second child was born.
Maybe she should hook up with Vince's trainer, or Angelina Jolie.
She dropped the weight pretty quick.

Quick WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Info.....

2008-12-03T12:36:00.000-05:00

Quick WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Info.....

WWE Diva Brie Bella is currently dating former Poison guitarist Richie Kotzen.

In case you hadn't heard, Lena Yada is now a former WWE Diva. She said she was released because of budget cuts and an injury she received during training.
Some people are saying it's because she looks too much like returning WWE Diva Gail Kim, but I don't by that.

Francine Fournier, former ECW and WWE valet is pregnant.

TNA Knockout Taylor Wilde will be at TCI Sports Fan in Dayton, Ohio on Thursday, December 4, from 5:00PM-7:00 PM.

TNA Knockout Angelina Love will be at the NE Sports Cards Show in Woburn, Massachusetts on Sunday, December 14 from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM.

Is Michelle McCool Going to do a Heel Turn?

2008-11-26T12:49:00.001-05:00

Is Michelle McCool going to do a heel turn?
It seems on her blog this week she's talking about having a target on her back since she's the WWE Divas Champion.
And this week on WWE SmackDown! she'll be facing Maria in a non title match.
We all know Michelle is more than capable of playing the bad guy.
And think about it, a heel team of Michelle and Maryse would rival TNA's Beautiful People.
Plus they could bring back the "M and M" nickname just for them.
Of course bringing back that name would be a perfect lead in to bringing back Melina as a face, angry that Michelle and Maryse are using that name.
Which in turn could lead to Melina getting various team mates to go up against them, ultimately leading to the return of the WWE Women's Tag Team Wrestling title!
Hey, maybe Melina could get Mickie James as her tag team partner and they could claim the name "M and M".
Wow, I can really go off onto a tangent can't I?
Speaking of tangents, what's up with Michelle McCool, Maria, Maryse, Melina, Candice Michelle and Mickie James?
Does the WWE have some kinda "M" thing?

Candice Michelle, Roxxi and Cherry

2008-11-14T11:53:00.000-05:00

Former WWE Diva Cherry will be getting back into wrestling action at Who's Slamming Who professional wrestling on Saturday night, December 6th, 2008 at 3-2 Count Athletic Training Facility.
The Former WWE Diva will be taking on a current TNA Knockout Roxxi, making this the first "Diva vs. Knockout" match that I can think of.
For more info, e-mail: info@fanslamwrestling.com

And Candice Michelle is in the new issue of Muscular Development Magazine, with a multi page pictorial.
Okay I know Candice is hot and all, but Muscular Development Magazine?
Does the WWE have some kind of agreement with them?
Beth Phoenix I could see doing that.

TNA iMPACT!: No Knockouts?

2008-11-03T12:44:00.000-05:00

The TNA iMPACT! Video Game is out and I noticed one glaring error.
Well glaring to me at least.
Christy Hemme is the only Knockout in the game!
Okay I know this is the first TNA game, but not to include the Knockout Division?
They have a wide range of talented female wrestlers and think about what their " Legends" division could have.
If you went all the way back to the beginning of their roster back in 2002, you could have Francine Fournier (WWE probably has her rights tied up though), Shannon Spruill, Mickie James/ Alexis Laree (okay I KNOW WWE has her rights), April Hunter, MsChif, Malia Hosaka, Kim Neilson (Desire), Daizee Haze, Stephanie Finochio (Trinity), Gail Kim (I have no idea who has her rights now) and Salinas!
It would almost be like " SHIMMER: The Video Game"!
But no, TNA basically overlooked one of their most popular divisions when creating this.
Maybe next time.
I know the reviews of the game weren't exactly glowing, but that's never stopped the WWE.
I'll just hold out for my dream game, " WWE Divas versus TNA Knockouts".
Why not?
We've had Marvel vs Capcom.

WWE Cyber Sunday: Divas Halloween Costume Contest

Mickie James won the Divas Halloween Costume Contest last night at Cyber Sunday.
She was dressed as Laura Croft from Tomb Raider.
Of course after the winner was announced, the wrestling ring erupted into a huge brawl, and the "good girls" cleared the ring.

WWE Diva's Halloween Costumes for Cyber Sunday

2008-10-21T12:15:00.003-04:00

Remember Candice Michelle as Catwoman?

Well it isn't really wrestling.
Okay, it isn't wrestling period.
But the tentative list of WWE Diva's Halloween Costumes for the contest at WWE’s Cyber Sunday is out.
I know it's become pretty much a tradition.
Anyway.....
Candice Michelle / Marilyn Monroe
Jillian Hall / Bat Girl
Katie Lea / Vampire ( I might get the PPV just to see that)
Tiffany / Nun
Victoria / Banana ( A Banana? What.....?)
Maryse / French Maid

Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler and Former TNA Knockout Karen Angle

2008-10-14T10:57:00.000-04:00

Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler is on the cover of the November 2008 issue of Maxim Magazine.
The article inside is about her Hollywood plans.
So far Stacy has appeared on "George Lopez", "What About Brian", The Comebacks, "October Road" and "Samurai Girl".

Evidently the Karen Angle / Kurt Angle divorce wasn't an...okay....it wasn't an " angle".
Karen is now formally leaving TNA.
She'll still be involved in wrestling though as she is now taking bookings for independent appearances and conventions.

You know, it seems more and more I'm writing about "Former" Divas and "Former" Knockouts.....

TNA in particular seems to be losing more and more of their female talent.
Gail Kim, Shelly Martinez and now Karen Angle.

WWE No Mercy, Beth Phoenix and Candice Michelle

2008-10-06T11:32:00.001-04:00

In a fairly solid match last night at WWE No Mercy, Beth Phoenix retained her WWE Women's Wrestling Championship title.
Candice wasn't injured, which was good, but I hope that this match clears the way for a Micki James / Beth Phoenix feud which I think would be way more sellable.
BTW, just a guess, but I give Candice maybe another year with the WWE.

Get lunch with ex TNA Knockout Shelly Martinez / Salinas

2008-09-26T11:24:00.002-04:00

Did you know that you could buy a lunch with ex TNA Knockout Shelly Martinez / Salinas?
Yep, follow the link here and you can see all the E-Bay info about this.
The bidding ends on Sept. 29, and as it stands right now, the bidding is at $4,550.00 !
But don't think this is all about Shelly, a percentage of the auction winnings will go to the City of Hope Cancer Center.

Shelly Martinez aka Salinas has left TNA

2008-09-15T18:00:00.000-04:00

Okay she left WWE and I was sad.
Couldn't blame her though, it was ECW.
Then she went to TNA and I was happy again.
Now Shelly Martinez aka Salinas has left TNA.
Doesn't really matter though, I followed her career long before WWE.
I know the rumor about her wanting to make a movie and TNA not wanting to give up any more money.
That's cool.
But first Gail Kim....now Shelly?
Is TNA's women's wrestling division a house of cards that will soon fold on itself?
Stay tuned......

Mickie James and Stacy Keibler on TV, but not wrestling......

2008-09-09T13:11:00.001-04:00

Mickie James was on Psych last week playing a roller derby queen.
Really sorry I missed posting about that in advance, but I'm sure the show will be posted on Hulu soon, so you can catch it online.

I've been watching Samurai Girl online and finally got to the part that Stacy Keibler shows up in. I was beginning to think she wasn't really even in the show. I'm not finished yet, but after I am, I'll do a sort review.

Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus number two in search?

2008-09-02T10:29:00.000-04:00

WrestleZone reported today that....
" Trish Stratus was the second most searched person on the Yahoo search engine yesterday, thanks to the hype of her new travel show in Canada."
http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=222360430

I always wonder about that when I see it.
I check Yahoo search everyday and I didn't even see her name listed.
WWE was in the top twenty, but I didn't see Trish listed.
Maybe I just didn't see it, because I am seeing a lot of PR regarding her new travel show.

The Winnipeg Sun had a big article.....
For years as a professional wrestler, Canadian Trish Stratus traveled the world. But that doesn't necessarily mean she saw the world.
"People would ask me what it was like to go to a certain place, and I'd say, 'Well, I know about the Hilton and the arena,' " Stratus said. "And no offence, but arenas are all kind of the same.
"I always struggled with the question, 'What's your favourite place to perform in?' So I'd have to say, 'Well, my favourite time was when I wrestled here,' but it was mostly because of the match, not necessarily the place."
But now, through her new TV series Stratusphere, for a change Stratus gets to travel the world and actually see the world, too.
Stratusphere debuts Monday across Canada on the Travel & Escape network.

WWE Smackdown Diva, Maria

2008-08-27T10:58:00.000-04:00

WWE Smackdown Diva, Maria

We haven't had a Maria update in awhile, so here's one.
You know that as part of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft, Maria was drafted from RAW to the SmackDown. Maria made her debut on the August 1 edition of SmackDown by defeating Victoria.
Okay I really like Maria and all, but beating Victoria?
Victoria has been wrestling since what....2000?
I'm all for the less experienced Divas getting more airtime and getting better, but really.....Maria beating Victoria?

Last Night on TNA Impact, Awesome Kong and Gail Kim

2008-08-22T13:00:00.000-04:00

Last Night on TNA Impact, Awesome Kong and Gail Kim

Awesome Kong defeated Gail Kim last night on TNA Impact in a No DQ Knockouts Brawl.
After Kong defeated Gail, Gail's "sister"(referee Earl Hebner's real-life daughter) came into the ring to protect Gail from further damage.
Kong was about to attack her when ODB and Roxxi rushed into the wrestling ring and made the save.

Here's where I run into trouble.
Some sites are reporting Gail's sister “Katie Kim”to be Earl Hebner's daughter.
Other sites ares saying it's Jennifer Lee Chan.
Are they two separate people?
Or is Jennifer Lee Chan Earl Hebner's daughter?
Jennifer was in WOW, Women of Wrestling as Jade.
Now that Gail has left TNA, what will happen to Katie?

Yes I'm confused/obsessed.......

Candice Michelle on The E! Channel's "Sunset Tan

2008-08-15T13:27:00.003-04:00

As was mentioned before, WWE Diva Candice Michelle will be showing up on The E! Channel's "Sunset Tan.".

This weeks commercial shows Candice, along with WWE Divas Maria and Eve Torres.( Hey...where was Eve in last month's top ten?)
Anyway, Sunset Tan airs this Sunday night at 10:30p.m.
I really can't believe this show is still on the air......

WWE: New photoshoot of Jillian Hall

2008-08-08T12:24:00.001-04:00

The WWE has actually released a new photo shoot of Jillian Hall.
I say actually because Jillian isn't getting much of a push.
Which is kinda strange to me considering that when she wrestled for the Indys as Macaela Mercedes, she held the following titles:
SWF Women's title, SWF Tag Team titles w/Tiny Tim, SWF Tag Team titles w/Randy Allen, HPW Cruiserweight title, MCW Mid-American title, WWA Women's title, CIWindy Women's title, SSW Women's title, BWCW (Blue Water Championship Wrestling) Women's title, HPW Ladies title and the PGWA title.
So yes, the lady does know how to actually WRESTLE!
Sorry...got carried away again.
Anyway, you can see the new pics here:

Last night on WWE RAW, Mickie James and Katie Lea

2008-08-05T11:32:00.002-04:00

Last night on WWE RAW, Mickie James and Katie Lea

The Mickie James/ Katie Lea feud continued on RAW last night with a match for the WWE Women's Wrestling Title.
Mickie retained her title, but I'm wondering for how long?

The answer to that may have been shown after the match, when Beth Phoenix showed up and waylaid Mickie.
Mickie James, Katie Lea and Beth Phoenix?
Hmmmmm...triple threat match for the title?

Taylor Wilde versus Velvet Sky

2008-07-25T12:37:00.003-04:00

Taylor Wilde defeated Velvet Sky by disqualification last night, retaining the TNA Knockout Title.
Of course after this, The Beautiful People jumped Taylor, till ODB and Gail Kim ran in for the save.
Watching this made me realize something...
Several years ago, when the WWE was having such trouble with their Diva division, I thought " Why dont they just get some of the hard working Indy ladies and use them?"
TNA pretty much did that.
As I have said before, these ladies work like the wrestlers of the 60's and 70's, some working full time jobs, getting off work and hitting the road to make that nights show. You have to LOVE wrestling to do that.

Former WWE Diva Lita News

I'm happy to see another Ex-WWE Diva doing what she loves.

WWE Diva Ashley Massaro Asking For Release From the WWE?

2008-07-02T11:59:00.002-04:00

Ashley Massaro said on her Myspace account that she has asked for a release from the WWE. She says that her daughter is sick and she simply can't do both.
No matter what the controversy surrounding her release, I wish her well.
I always liked Ashley and saw a lot of potential there.
Above all, I wish her daughter a speedy recovery.
Again we have another example of a WWE wrestler putting their family first.

WWE Diva Melina updates......

2008-06-26T12:11:00.000-04:00

After her little run in with Beth Phoenix, Melina has seemingly turned face.
I hope that is the case and not a swerve, because I recall reading about Melina before she came to the WWE.
Melina said that she wanted to be a role model to the young latinas.
Well now she really can.
The bad thing is, that on June 23, 2008 Melina injured her ankle when she fell from the turnbuckle in a match where she and Mickie James took on Natalya and Victoria. Nothing really concrete yet, but the rumor is that she either fractured her heel or tore ligaments in her ankle and will likely need surgery.
BTW, did you know Melina is supposedly seeing Batista?

WWE Diva Maria Kanellis Interview

WWE Diva Maria Kanellis, known simply on television as Maria, has lived a charmed life since debuting on WWE television on 2004 as a member of the first Diva Search. Starting as the ditzy backstage reporter/interviewer, she revealed her intelligence when asked to testify against Eric Bischoff; she revealed her brawn, meanwhile, when having to wrestle Edge and Lita with a tag team partner of some repute -- John Cena.

Former WWE Divas Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler

2008-06-03T09:01:00.003-04:00

Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson had back surgery yesterday to correct her back problems, which made her leave professional wrestling.
The process involves removing a disc and replacing it with a synthetic one.
We wish her well, and a speedy recovery.

Another Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler, was trying to get a shot at Scott Caan's new movie Mercy. After on again off again negotiations, Stacy pulled out.
Caan , as you may or may not know, appeared in Ready To Rumble. He is also the son of James Caan.
According to the IMDb, the movie is about " A young novelist tries to write about love, but realizes he will first need some real-life experience before taking on the subject."

Former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall Expecting

2008-05-21T09:33:00.001-04:00

Well, Former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall, 24, is due to give birth soon.
And the childs father is her boyfriend Bobby Lashley!
That's the reason Lashley didn't want to make any long-term commitments, because it would put him on the road too much.
I really respect that out of Bobby,he loves wrestling, but he loves his family more.
And the WWE talks about role models. They had one, well two right there.
I wish them both, well all three, the best.

Michelle McCool versus Trish Stratus

2008-05-08T08:47:00.002-04:00

Now according to the WWE, Michelle McCool has beaten Trish Stratus in queries online.
I don't really see how, considering Trish is getting HUGE buzz over her new Travel Channel show.
And her yoga, and showing up on RAW again.
Okay, the RAW thing was just one night but still.

Anyway, MY stats still show Trish WAY over Michelle. By a big margin.

2008-04-14T10:54:00.003-04:00

I hadn't done WWE RAW Diva Mickie James in awhile, so I thought I'd post these pics. I't looks like kind of a retro shoot, with her dressed more like the "old school" women wrestlers.
As far as I'm concerened, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Melina and Victoria are the WWE's most talented female wrestlers.

Trish Stratus, Number 1?

2008-04-08T09:22:00.002-04:00

The Search engine Lycos announced their Lycos 50 list, the 50 most popular Internet search results for the week.
Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus achieved her highest internet search engine ranking ever, topping the list jumping ahead of others like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Pamela Anderson.
Now why is that?
How can Trish hold on that well?
Is it because she actually mixed beauty and skill in the ring?
People miss her?
Or is it that she has kept busy with other projects since leaving the WWE?
I'll give Lycos a little hint......Stacy, Chyna and Lita are still big search items as well.

On Tonight's WWE SmackDown!.........

2008-03-28T10:46:00.007-04:00

Michelle McCool and Cherry will battle Victoria and Maryse in a ......Water Balloon match?
Okay....a Water Balloon match.......WWE is wrestling right? Or has it turned its women's wrestling division into some bad Nickelodeon Game Show?
BTW, Diva Search Winner Eve will be the special referee.
Referee?
Why?
I guess This will all lead up to the Playboy Bunny Lumberjack match at Wrestlemania.
