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

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.

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.

Amy "Lita" Dumas had a birthday on the 14th and I missed it, so ...

Old habit...sorry.

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

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.

TNA Knockout Christy Hemme in Afghanistan

Former WWE Diva and current TNA Knockout Christy Hemme is visiting the troops in Afghanistan.
Along with Christy is Nora (Molly Holly) Greenwald, Terri Runnels and Shelly Martinez.
They will be there for ten days, and you can get updates at Christy's MySpace page:

Staten Island Super Sign

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.

More Victoria News, WWE Diva to TNA Knockout?

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.

More WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Updates

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.

Rhaka Khan's Birthday!

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

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?

TNA iMPACT!: No Knockouts?

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.

TNA Knockouts Gauntlet Match at Bound for Glory.

On Thursday's iMPACT!, Jim Cornette announced there will be a Knockouts Gauntlet Match at Bound for Glory.
Ten women will compete to determine the first TNA Women's Wrestling World Champion.
Cornette said the match will feature "five girls you know and five girls you don't know."
The five women confirmed are Christy Hemme, Gail Kim, Ms. Brooks, Jackie Moore and Roxxy Laveaux.
The other 5 unknowns will probably come from Indy promotions like SHIMMER.
TNA has been talking to Shelly "Ariel" Martinez and Nidia, so we'll have to see how that pans out.
A ten woman division?
Will the WWE now try to up the ante?

Christy Hemme and the VKM

Vin Sanity ( you gotta love that name) has written a really good article about Christy Hemme and the VKM over at Pro Wrestling:

" TNA is currently telling a fairly familiar pro wrestling story, but the way they’re working it is very confusing to me. I simply can’t understand how Christy Hemme and her new allies are the heels against the Voodoo Kin Mafia."

TNA - Christy Hemme, Part 2

On November 30, 2005, Hemme debuted in Ohio Valley Wrestling, a WWE developmental territory, aligning herself with Matt Cappotelli in opposition to Aaron Stevens, Beth Phoenix and Shelly Martinez. While in OVW, she used the song "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard as her entrance music. On December 5, 2005, Hemme announced on her website that she would be training full-time in OVW. She was released by WWE one day later, however, with the company citing the creative team having nothing for her as the reason for her dismissal.

Hemme debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on April 23, 2006 at Lockdown 2006, giving an envelope to commentator Mike Tenay containing the announcement that Larry Zbyszko had been placed on probation and Raven (whom Zbyszko had fired earlier that year in kayfabe) had been reinstated. In addition to her hosting role on TNA iMPACT!, she is also the co-host of the Internet show TNA Global iMPACT! with Jeremy Borash. At TNA Hardcore War, Hemme refereed a match between Traci and Gail Kim. In July 2006, she was featured on Spike TV's Women of Action special.

In September 2006, Hemme recorded a song entitled "Society Box", which was featured on TNA's November 21, 2006 music release, 3rd Degree Burns. She has also been traveling to Windsor, Ontario to train under TNA agent Scott D'Amore in between TNA TV tapings. She also won TNA's Knockout of the Year for 2006.

On January 14, 2007 at the Final Resolution 2007 PPV, Christy came out and interrupted the Voodoo Kin Mafia and cut a promo about women's involvement in wrestling today. She said that she wanted to wrestle too - and the mostly male crowd in the TNA arena jeered her. Kip James called her a slut, which garnered him a slap from Hemme, while B.G. James attempted to play peacemaker.

In the following weeks, Kip and Hemme would be shown getting into a fair few arguments over his lack of respect for her, and for women as a whole. Hemme made her TNA in-ring debut at Against All Odds 2007 where she wrestled and defeated "The Big Fat Oil Guy" in a Tuxedo Match.

On the March 8 version of iMPACT, Hemme asked Jim Cornette for a match pitting VKM against her a new, previously undisclosed, team, at Destination X 2007. Cornette consented and "booked the match" in storyline. On the pay-per-view, Hemme introduced The Heartbreakers (formerly The Heart Throbs of the WWE). Despite Hemme's attempts to give Kip James a "low blow", VKM defeated her team, who she later browbeat at ringside. Hemme later announced that she had found another team to face the VKM. At Lockdown, the mystery team this time was Serotonin, but VKM defeated them as well.

She recently brought in The Basham Brothers as her new perminent tag team in her battle with VKM.

In November 2006, Hemme participated in the Queens of Chaos shows in Paris, France. She wrestled two matches, losing to former WCW talent April Hunter. She then defeated British wrestler Minx to earn the right to referee the championship match, which was eventually won by Hunter.

Hemme made her acting debut in the film Fallen Angels, portraying the deadly sin "Lust". She will also be appearing in another horror film tenatively titled The Dead Season, playing a zombie

WWE Divas - Christy Hemme - Part 1

Number 19....

Christina Lee ("Christy") Hemme (born October 28th, 1980) is an American actress, model and professional wrestler. Hemme, best known for her appearances with World Wrestling Entertainment and her pictorial in the April 2005 issue of Playboy, is currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

Hemme attended Mount San Jacinto College,where she majored in dance. After graduating, she relocated to Los Angeles, California in order to pursue a career in modeling. Hemme initially joined a burlesque dance team known as "The Purrfect Angelz", who performed at Easyrider tours and Harley motorcycle rallies. She went on appear in magazines such as Maxim, Playboy, Rolling Stone and Stuff. In addition, she appeared in the music video of the Trace Adkins song "Chrome", and in videos for bands Blink-182 and Sonic. In past years, her image has also been found on Bench Warmer trading cards as Christy "Sunny" Hemme. Her modelling career led to her joining the cast of Comedy Central's The Man Show as a member of the "Juggy Dance Squad" in 2003. Hemme remained with the series for a year, during which she hosted "The Commies", a comedy-themed award ceremony produced by Comedy Central, on December 7, 2003.

Hemme took part in the 2004 Lingerie Bowl, and competed as a quarterback for the Chicago Bliss Lingerie Football League team in a 2006 Lingerie Bowl playoff game on January 28, 2006.

In the summer of 2004, Hemme participated in the Diva Search, a competition held by World Wrestling Entertainment in order to recruit new Divas. In the course of the competition, Hemme and the five other finalists faced seven existing WWE Divas in a game of dodgeball at SummerSlam 2004 on August 15, 2004, eliminating all eight Divas with the loss of just one finalist, Joy Giovanni. Hemme was announced as the winner of the competition on September 20, with her prize being a one year contract with WWE with remuneration of US$250,000.

Hemme began her WWE career as a member of the RAW roster, using the song "Walk Idiot Walk" by The Hives as her entrance music. She quickly began a feud with Carmella DeCesare, the runner-up of the Diva Search. The feud culminated in a "lingerie pillow fight" at Taboo Tuesday 2004 on October 19, 2004, with Hemme defeating her opponent by knock-out. Hemme was undefeated in the Lingerie Pillow Fight during her WWE tenure.

Following her feud with DeCesare, Hemme began a rivalry with WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus, with Stratus ostensibly scornful of Hemme's appearance in the April 2005 issue of Playboy. Hemme eventually challenged Stratus to a match at WrestleMania 21, with Stratus's nemesis Lita training her in the weeks preceding the event. At WrestleMania 21 on April 3, 2005, Stratus defeated Hemme to retain her title. In the months after WrestleMania, Hemme began another feud with Victoria, who claimed to be jealous of the opportunities afforded to Hemme. The feud culminated in a bout at Vengeance 2005 on June 26, which Victoria won by cheating.

With her feud with Victoria over, Hemme briefly aligned herself with Eugene before she and Stacy Keibler were traded to SmackDown! in exchange for Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson on August 25, 2005, with their first match being a WWE.com exclusive lingerie pillow fight with one another.

Hemme went on to feud with Melina, the leader of the MNM faction, in the process joining forces with the Legion of Doom. At No Mercy 2005 on October 9, 2005, Hemme and the Legion of Doom defeated MNM in a six-person intergender tag team match, with Hemme executing the signature finishing maneuver of the Legion of Doom, the "Doomsday Device", on Melina. Her feud with Melina continued into November, with Melina defeating Hemme in two televised singles bouts.
