Torrie Wilson - WCW, WWF, WWE

I know that I try to devote this blog to the TNA Knockouts...but the most searched for woman on this blog is WCW, WWF, WWE Diva Torrie Wilson.
And since Torrie is no longer actually affiliated with the WWE that kinda makes her independant right?
Okay....I'm reaching.
But anyway, here is Torrie back when she was in the WWE....

The Newest NXT Diva - Anya (Anna Bogomazova)

Has the WWE finally hit paydirt with their newest NXT Diva?
The "Russian Bruiser" Anya (Anna Bogomazova) was signed earlier and a lot of people wonder who this new Diva was.

Well it turns out she is has a black belt in Taekwondo and is a Russian female kickboxer.
Okay...a really good Russian female kickboxer.
She has been....

2006 Kickboxing World Championship - 2nd
2008 Russian Kickboxing Russian Championship - 1st
2008 Kickboxing World Championship - 2nd
2008 Master of the Sport of Russia in Kickboxing
2011 Kickboxing World Cup - 1st
2011 Kickboxing Russian Championship - 2nd

Now...how is all that going to translate over into the ring?
Well if done right it could be awesome.
If done right.
That's the key point.

Imagine playing her as a monster heel with her coming in and laying her opponents out with a knockout kick in like less than a minute of each match at first?
Yeah...she could be a female Goldberg.
Will that happen though?
Well unless the WWE writers read this and say "Wow...that's a great idea!"
I kinda doubt it.

I can always hope though.

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

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.....

Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler and Former TNA Knockout Karen Angle

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.

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

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.

WWF: Chyna, part 4

Once again Chyna's "injuries" allowed her time off until April 2001 so she could promote her biography entitled "If They Only Knew". During this time off it was also announced that Chyna would be featured in a second Playboy Photo Shoot. In March Ivory announced that Chyna wanted another Women's Title shot and since she had put her out of action once, she would do it again at the Wrestlemania X-Seven PPV in April. Unfortunately things did not turn out like Ivory had planned as Chyna "pressed" Ivory above her head and then let her drop like a box of rocks for the win.

Chyna defended her belt only 4 times after that match, 2 matchups against Ivory, then Molly Holly and finally Lita at the Judgment Day PPV. All of a sudden the "Ninth Wonder Of The World" was dropped from WWF broadcasts, never to be seen again in the ring. Imagine this: Your the top female athlete in the WWF. You've won two Intercontinental titles vs. men and you've obtained the Women's Championship belt and are still undefeated! You've sold a bizillion copies of Playboy with another on the way, and your biography has sold well. Your definitely on top of the world and your contract is due for renewal. Shame on you, you ask for more money this time around and the WWF does what they did to the last female Superstar (Sable) they created - they don't want to pay!

Rumors were flying for many months about the negotiations, but none of them were giving Joanie much chance of reaching an agreement. Joanie was unable to come to terms with the WWF and has now opened up her own web site, continues to make personal appearances throughout the country and is trying to establish an acting career. In December 2001 it was announced that her 2nd Playboy magazine shoot was selling well, and it was rumored that Joanie had stated that she made more money from the two magazines than in her entire WWF career. Going from a physical female "brawler" to a full blown Diva, Chyna showed women that it was possible to make it in the testosterone male world of the WWF, and how to do it with class!
