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 ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITA!
I mean AMY!
Old habit...sorry.

Female Wrestling - WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Updates

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.

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 badly 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:

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:

Is Michelle McCool Going to do a Heel Turn?

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?

Maria Kanellis - WWE Divas

And now that we're finished with the top ten, lets look at the others.
Like number 11.....

Maria Kanellis (Born February 25, 1982) better known simply as Maria, is an American professional wrestler, working for World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand. She also makes regular appearances in WWE's training territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling.

On the January 1, 2007 edition of RAW, Maria attempted to interview Kevin Federline, but was instead slapped by Melina and called a "bitch". This led to a match between the two later that night, with Melina winning with a roll up following a failed attempt at a dropkick. At New Year's Revolution 2007 Maria and Candice Michelle went down to the ring during the Women's Championship match between Victoria and Mickie James to stop Melina from interfering. For two consecutive weeks afterwards, Maria would have two tag team partners - Mickie James and Jeff Hardy, respectively - to take on Melina and a partner. She lost one tag match, but won the other. Her feud with Melina would culminate in a No. 1 Contender's Match for the Women's Championship, which she again lost via submission.
