ASHLEY MASSARO VS. MELINA FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S TITLE

The Road to Wrestlemania 23: LUMBERJILL MATCH
ASHLEY MASSARO VS. MELINA FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S TITLE
Leonard Hayhurst on 03.31.2007

Background: Melina won the WWE Women's Title on the February 19th RAW over Mickie James. In a post match interview she took exception with Ashley stealing her press the week before due to her Playboy shoot. Melina stated that Playboy tried to get her several times, but that the common peon didn't deserve to see her naked. On the February 26th RAW Ashley pushed her Playboy shoot more while Melina complained more about Ashely stealing her thunder. Melina got out her frustrations by squashing Maria. Ashley beat Jillian on the March 2nd Smackdown. Melina retained the Women's Title over Mickie James in a falls count anywhere match on March 5th. Ashley was the guest ring announcer and begrudgingly gave Melina back her title after the bout was over. Ashley appeared on Miz TV on March 9th to be interrupted by Melina. She put herself over as too classy for Playboy. Ashley then challenged Melina to a Women's Title match at Wrestlemania. Melina wanted to make an example to Ashley and took out former Playboy cover girl Torrie Wilson on the March 12th RAW. The March 16th Smackdown had Ashley teaming with Brian Kendrick and Paul London against MNM. Melina gets a low blow on London leading to the Snapshot for the loss. Melina faced Playboy cover girl Candice in a bra and panties match on March 19th. She won, but was stripped by Ashley post match. On the March 23rd Smackdown both ladies seconded their tag teams in a title match with London and Kendrick going over MNM. On the March 26th RAW Ashley, Candice and Torrie defeated the team of Melina, Jillian Hall and Victoria. On the March 29th Smackdown Ashley, Maria, Candice, Torrie and Mickie James defeated the team of Melina, Jillian, Victoria, Kristal and Michelle McCool.

Match Up: Both women show great potential as future top women's wrestlers and are doing their best to fill the void in the division left by Trish Stratus and Lita. Ashley's spunk should be enough to trump Melina's cocky arrogance. However, several recent losses to Ashley in tag team matches might have her plotting. The lumberjills actually work against Melina as it negates Johnny Nitro from interfering. Not that Kendrick and London wouldn't have Ashley's back. Then again, the girls at ringside could provide Melina with needed distraction to cheat to win.

Outcome: Ashley is getting pushed thanks to being a Playboy cover girl. Other diva cover girls haven't won the Women's title, but Ashley is certainly the best wrestler of that bunch. Melina is intermittently in the WWE doghouse and her winning the title seemed like a transitional reign to get the belt on Ashley when she won it. You can argue that Ashley is on Smackdown and the Women's Title belongs to RAW, but does that really matter? Ashley's teams going over leading up to Wrestlemania would logically lead to Melina retaining the title, but not necessarily if the company has soured on her and really wants to get Ashley over. If Ashley does lose look for her to strip Melina after the match. The lumberjills are just for eye candy and expect some clothes ripping hijinks from them.

WWE Diva Candice Michelle says it's all chicken and veggies

WWE Diva Candice Michelle says it's all chicken and veggies

Steven J. Austin / Special to The Detroit News

WWE's Candice Michelle tries to keep her diet a healthy balance of protein and fruits and vegetables.

She is definitely not your average girl next door.

Candice Michelle is a World Wrestling Entertainment diva, starring on "RAW," USA network's super popular Monday night show. She's also universally known for her eyebrow-raising appearances in the GoDaddy.com TV commercials and roles in a host of movies and TV shows. Candice also graced the cover of the April 2006 edition of Playboy.

Expect Michelle to be a featured attraction at WrestleMania 23 on April 1 at Ford Field.

When not battling other WWE divas in the ring or making personal appearances for a variety of charities, this Wisconsin native enjoys most sports, including volleyball, softball and basketball. For more info: www.wwe.com

Q. How has your diet changed since you became a WWE Diva?

A. I try to follow the Zone Diet, but I've tried everything from Atkins to South Beach. I now just try to eat healthy and include fruits and veggies, but it's sometimes tough to do when you travel so much. It's so easy to grab some fries at McDonald's, so to avoid that I try to plan my meals ahead as much as possible. There's always a part of me that wants to stray from a healthy diet, but then I always remember how important my work is and that it's vital for me to be in the best shape possible.

Q. Do your fans send you food items?

A. A few times I've received boxes of chocolates. Mostly fans send me teddy bears, flowers and perfume.

Q. Do some WWE stars have crazy food habits?

A. Honestly, most everyone's diet is basically the same. Chicken and veggies. There are always protein bars, shakes and powders available for us. Protein, protein and more protein!

Cheerleader Melissa - Female Wrestling

Melissa Anderson (born August 17, 1982 in Los Angeles, California) is an American pro wrestler, better known by her ring name Cheerleader Melissa.

Melissa is one of the few second-generation female wrestlers. Her father was Doug Anderson, who wrestled professionally before her in the early 1980s. Before she took up pro wrestling, Melissa wrestled on the high school amateur wrestling team. She got her start from her father's former tag team partner Billy Anderson (no relation) and Jesse Hernandez and was trained by him briefly in 1998. Melissa's first match was on August 17, 1999 (which happened to be her birthday) against Lexie Fyfe in Douglas, Wyoming.

Melissa got the cheerleading gimmick when she became the valet for the Ballard Brothers, a Canadian tag team. She credits them with helping her in the ring when she was first starting out. She also received wrestling training from Christopher Daniels for a short period of time before moving on to All Pro Wrestling where she trained under the tutelage of Robert Thompson and Bryan Danielson.

Melissa was personally invited, along with Taylor Matheny, to wrestle and train for three months at Arsion, a prestigious wrestling promotion in Tokyo, Japan. Her favourite matches she worked in Arsion were a 15-minute draw against Rie Tamada and her loss to Mariko Yoshida.

Most recently, Melissa has been wrestling for SHIMMER Women Athletes among many other independent promotions. Melissa has been involved in all seven of the ChickFight tournaments, and won the fifth, on 6/24/06 in San Francisco, California, and the seventh, in Norfolk in the United Kingdom. In the first round of the ChickFight tournaments she is 5-0-2.

On the May 26 (taped May 22), 2006 edition of WWE.com Heat Melissa wrestled in a match against Victoria in Las Vegas, Nevada under the name "Melissa Anderson". Melissa lost to a Widow's Peak. One night before that, she wrestled in two matches (against Allison Danger and MsChif, respectively) for SHIMMER in Chicago, Illinois.

On January 7, 2007, Anderson won Pro Wrestling World-1's Queen's Cup tournament, earning herself a number one contendership for the AWA World Women's Championship. Though known for touring Japan, Melissa also toured the United Kingdom in that same month. On the tour she won the seventh ChickFight tournament, and competed at Real Quality Wrestling's No Pain, No Gain 2007, where she faced MsChif and Eden Black in an unsuccessful attempt to take Black's RQW Women's Wrestling Championship.

TNA Knockout - SoCal Val

SoCal Val

Do you know that SoCal Val has been with TNA since 2006?
And really...what have they done with her?

Valerie Elizabeth Wyndham is an American pro wrestling valet, better known by her ring name, SoCal Val.
SoCal was born on March 27th, 1986 in Beverly Hills, California and is currently signed to TNA Wrestling.

After she was "discovered" while attending a local wrestling event, Valerie debuted on March 30th, 2002 for the Golden State Championship Wrestling independent wrestling promotion as the manager of Pinoy Boy, who she promptly betrayed by berating him after he was defeated by Scott Lost and then leaving with Lost. She appeared for several other promotions in Southern California before her family moved across the country to Orlando, Florida when she was sixteen. Valerie developed the character of SoCal Val.

In addition to working for multiple independent promotions, Valerie has appeared with WWE, modelling a John Cena t-shirt on WWE.com and appearing on WWE SmackDown! as part of a vignette featuring Luther Reigns. She regularly appears with the Orlando based promotion TNA Wrestling, working variously as a ring girl, spokesmodel, merchandise model and interviewer. She appeared at the TNA No Surrender 2005 pay-per-view on July 17th, 2005 alongside ring announcer Jeremy Borash, and is currently an interviewer on TNA Global Impact!.

Valerie continues to work for promotions throughout Southern California, most prominently Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, where she was the commissioner at one point. It was there, when Joey Ryan Superkicked her in the face, she developed a fear of feet (kayfabe). This became a prominent feature in her storyline with Francine Fournier, while resulted in a Kiss My Foot Match which Valerie lost.

In August of 2006, SoCal Val officially signed with TNA, she will appear more frequently on television, and be involved in more storylines.
On August 18, 2006 So Cal Val got kicked out by the Women Extreme Wrestling promotion at their PPV Tapings event Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal.
On the December 14, 2006 episode of iMPACT, Kurt Angle dragged her in the ring and threatened to break her ankle until Jim Cornette talked him into letting her go.
On the March 8, 2007 episode of iMPACT, So Cal Val got injured after receiving the Black Hole Slam from Abyss.
From 2008 to 2009, she was the on-screen girlfriend of Jay Lethal and actually had a storyline.
In 2009 she was involved in an altercation between Awesome Kong and Tara.
In 2010, she began working as the ring announcer on TNA Xplosion.

I think Val may wind up being the "Lilian Garcia" of TNA.

WWE Diva - Jillian Hall

Real Name: Jillian Faye Fletcher
Ring name(s):  Macaela Mercedes, The Bombshell, Jillian Hall
Height: 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m)
Weight: 125 lbs (57 kg)
Born: September 6th, 1980, Ashland, Kentucky, Billed from Los Angeles, California
Trained by: Roger Ruffen, OVW staff, Dave Finlay
Pro Wrestling Debut: 1998

Jillian Faye Fletcher is a pro wrestler who currently performs for WWE on the SmackDown! brand under the ring name Jillian Hall.
Debuting in 1998, Jillian wrestled on the independent circuit as Macaela Mercedes. Because of this, early ring names "Macaela Mercedes" and "Jillian Mercedes" have been incorrectly listed as her real names.
On the independent circuit, she often wrestled her then husband Tiny Tim in inter-gender matches. She also wrestled for a brief time in the short lived G.L.O.R.Y. promotion, where she first began to make a name for herself.

In the spring of 2003 Fletcher began working for Ohio Valley Wrestling, eventually signing a developmental contract with WWE in 2004. She started out in OVW as a face, until she turned heel after getting breast implants and straightening and bleaching her hair blonde. The heel turn was motivated in a storyline where her implants "leaked into her brain", causing her to become psychotic. Near the end of her developmental run, Melissa Coates became her bodyguard, and together they managed Chad and Tank Toland.

Jillian made her WWE debut on the July 28, 2005 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown! with the ring name Jillian Hall and a gimmick that had her as a publicist for the heel stable MNM. She also had a "growth" on the left side of her face, which she referred to as a "blemish", that announcers constantly speculated on the nature of. As MNM's publicist she (kayfabe) immediately secured MNM a cover of SmackDown! Magazine, but did not stay with the group for very long. Her first wrestling feud on SmackDown! was against Stacy Keibler, with the two confronting each other many times until Jillian defeated Keibler in a match on the October 29, 2005 Velocity.

Jillian was later approached by JBL, a former WWE Champion who asked for help repairing his image. As JBL's "Image Consultant", she successfully guided him to winning the United States Championship from Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 22. She was also involved in JBL's feud against The Boogeyman, who eventually got his hands on Jillian and "ate" the growth off of her face. Not long after this, she was fired from her assistant job by JBL. After being fired she turned face, beginning a feud with former client Melina of MNM, and teaming with Ashley Massaro against Kristal Marshall and Michelle McCool.

In the early part of 2007, Jillian started a feud with Ashley Massaro.
During the feud Hall attempted to prove that she was talented in arenas beyond wrestling and being eye candy by singing, badly, at every opportunity.

By July of that year she was placed in WWE's primary developmental territory, contra for further training. Shelly debuted in OVW as the co-manager for Aaron Stevens along with Beth Phoenix, a group which broke up within the year.

On October 31, 2006 edition of ECW on Sci-Fi, Trinity won the 1st ever ECW Diva Halloween Costume Contest beating Kelly Kelly and Ariel.

She has accompanied ring side and tag teamed with male wrestlers such as Joey Ryan and Human Tornado and has often been put against fellow female wrestler Carla Jade.

April Hunter - Women Wrestling

I think this quote from Wrestling Clothesline sums up exactly the way I feel about the Indy wrestlers......
" Since Vince McMahon won't take women wrestling seriously and TNA won't even give it a second thought, someone has to give credit to those women who are working week in and week out, in those high school gyms and broken down Elk's Lodges, for barely enough money to pay for gas and tolls."

So without further ado......
April Hunter

April Hunter was born on September 24th, 1972 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She is an American female pro wrestler, pro wrestling valet and model.

April Hunter was born in Philadelphia but moved to Enterprise, Alabama with her father when her parents divorced. At the age of sixteen she returned to Philadelphia. She attended college, majoring in English, Biology and Chemistry, but dropped out after several years. At the age of nineteen she began working as a dancer, but found that she disliked the industry, so she became a fitness model instead.

In 2000 Hunter was hired by Terry Taylor on behalf of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as a member of the "Black and White" nWo. Along with four other models (Tylene Buck, Pamela Paulshock, Midajah O'Hearn and Kim Kanner) she accompanied members of the nWo to ringside for their matches. When the nWo split up, the models remained with Scott Steiner, and were identified as his "freaks". Hunter left WCW later that year following a pay dispute.

After leaving WCW, Hunter decided to become a wrestler, and in 2001 she moved to Boston, Massachusetts to train under the legendary Władek "Killer" Kowalski. She began working on the indy circuit, and eventually met Slyk Wagner Brown, who she would both manage and form an intergender tag team with known alternately as Team SWB and Big Red or Team Underground. Hunter also formed a tag team with another Kowalski graduate Nikki Roxx in World Xtreme Wrestling known as The Killer Babes. Hunter went on to form tag teams and win titles with Talia (TNA's Velvet Sky) and J.D. Michaels.

Hunter has competed for multiple American promotions, fighting and defeating both men and women including Ring of Honor and TNA, and has toured Europe, Japan. Puerto Rico, Canada, UK/Ireland and Mexico several times.
Among the wrestling promotions she had worked for are Far North Wrestling, German Stampede Wrestling, Great Canadian Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, Jersey Championship Wrestling, NWA Cyberspace, Pro-Pain Pro Wrestling, Queens of Chaos, USA Pro Wrestling, Women's Extreme Wrestling, World Xtreme Wrestling and many more.

On August 30, 2006, April married her Canadian wrestling boyfriend, J.D. Michaels (aka known as J.D. Maverick), in a small, private ceremony at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Kimberly Dawn Davis (born June 22, 1974 in Ahoskie, North Carolina) is an American professional wrestler, better known by her ring name, Amber O'Neal.

Davis trained under Strawberry Fields, Leilani Kai and Gary Royal at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Academy in Charlotte, North Carolina. After training for six months she debuted in July 1999 in the PGWA as Amber Holly, wrestling Leilani Kai in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. In 2002, Holly began wrestling for the Carolina Wrestling Federation, where she furthered her training under Gemini Kid and Mikael Yamaha at the CWF Dojo Camp. In May 2003, Holly suffered a knee injury, tearing her anterior cruciate ligament and patella tendon and suffering cartilage damage. She was obliged to undergo reconstructive surgery and transplants, and was inactive for slightly under a year while rehabilitating.

Holly returned to the ring on May 16, 2004, adopting the ring name Amber O'Neal (to differentiate herself from fellow wrestler Molly Holly) and the gimmick of a motocross racer. In late 2004, O'Neal formed a tag team with Krissy Vaine known as Team Blondage. The team wrestled primarily on the North Carolina independent circuit, appearing with promotions such as SHIMMER and Women's Extreme Wrestling.

Team Blondage defeated Clehopatra and Navaho to win the vacant WEW Tag Team Championship on May 8, 2005 at the WEW pay-per-view "No Ho's Barred". In the course of their reign, Vaine signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. She was subsequently replaced within Team Blondage by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling alumnae Lollipop. On the April 6, 2006 WEW pay-per-view, O'Neal and Lollipop lost the WEW Women's Tag Team Championship to T and A (Talia Doll and April Hunter).

In April and May 2006, O'Neal wrestled at several TNA house shows produced in conjunction with the United Wrestling Federation.

WWE Diva : Victoria

Lisa Marie Varon, better known as Victoria (born February 10, 1971) is an American professional wrestler currently working for the RAW brand of WWE.

She has been married to Alexander Varon since 1998, although it is expected that they have been divorced away from the media.

Varon and Trish Stratus used to be fitness models together. This real life fact was actually used as an often-overlooked key element to the first "psycho heel Victoria vs. Trish" angle. When explaining her psychotic jealousy against Trish in an interview on RAW, Victoria went on to reveal that they were fitness models together until Trish left for success in wrestling without her, although this was not all completely the case in real life.

In a January 2005 interview, she was quoted as confessing that she was legitimately jealous of the salary and opportunities given to diva search winner Christy Hemme. She later retracted and refuted this statement on her website, claiming that the reporter had twisted her words and that she and Hemme were friends.

She cites Ivory as a wrestler whom she was inspired by and Torrie Wilson as being her best friend. Varon relocated to Louisville, Kentucky in order to train in Ohio Valley Wrestling and continues to reside there. In June 2005, she opened a restaurant in Louisville named Fat Tony's Pizza.

Varon has frequently expressed interest in posing nude for Playboy. However, she has stated that she has yet to be offered a chance to appear in the magazine.

Victoria is a huge Xena: Warrior Princess fan, as mentioned on her Myspace page.

Varon is thought by some to be a "spiritual sibling" to wrestler Lance Storm due to them both having dark hair and a widow's peak hairline (hence the name of her WWE finishing move). They were also both subjected to poorly received dancing gimmicks. In a running gag on his website, Storm maintains that he and Varon are siblings, but this is not the case, as the two are unrelated.

Varon had red hair extensions throughout 2002-2003 in her first psychotic gimmick. At Cyber Sunday, it appeared she had her extensions put back in.

WWE - Trish Stratus

Trish Stratus (born Patricia Anne Stratigias on December 18th, 1975 in Richmond Hill, Ontario), is a Canadian fitness model and former professional wrestler. Formerly working for World Wrestling Entertainment, Stratus retired from professional wrestling on September 17, 2006 after winning her seventh WWE Women's Championship.

Stratus is marketed as the first woman in WWF/E history to have held the WWE Women's Championship seven times, three more than the four reigns of Lita and the four recognized title reigns of The Fabulous Moolah. She is also one of only four women to have held the WWE Hardcore Championship.

As a fitness model, Stratus has been featured on the cover of many major health and fitness magazines such as Musclemag, Flare, and Total Women's Fitness. She also released a calendar series called "Dream Team" with fellow model, Stacey Lynn. As a sports entertainer, she was proclaimed the "Diva of the Decade" on the WWE RAW X Anniversary Show. She was voted "WWE Babe of the Year" three times between 2001 and 2003.

TNA - Traci Brooks

Tracy Brookshaw (born May 22, 1975) is a Canadian professional wrestler and professional wrestling valet, better known by her stage name, Traci Brooks.

Tracy Brookshaw grew up on a pig and chicken farm in St. Marys, Ontario. In 2000, she won the Toronto Sunshine Millennium Calendar contest which led to her being named Miss June 2000 and interviewed in the Toronto Sun. Brookshaw went on to engage in promotional modelling work with the Molson, Labatts and Budweiser beverage brewers.

In her interview, Brookshaw said that she aspired to be "the next WWE Superstar". This led to her being introduced to Ron Hutchinson, a professional wrestler who operated the Sully's Gym professional wrestling school out of Toronto, Ontario. Brookshaw began training under Hutchinson in March 2000, and debuted in January 2001 as Tracy Brooks.

WWE Divas - Torrie Wilson

Torrie Anne Wilson (born July 24th, 1975), better known by the ring name Torrie Wilson is an American professional wrestler, fitness competitor and model currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment under the RAW brand.

Wilson has found considerable success in both World Championship Wrestling and in World Wrestling Entertainment as a valet and diva.

In the final months of 2006, Torrie entered into a kayfabe relationship with Carlito. After Torrie's match with Victoria, Chris Masters ran to the ring and gave Torrie Wilson the Masterlock and released her when Carlito came to the rescue.

On the January 8 edition of Raw, Torrie helped Carlito defeat Chris Masters by hitting his left knee with the ring bell. On the January 15 edition of Raw, Vince McMahon made Torrie pretend to be Miss America. Carlito responded by calling Vince "not cool", resulting in Vince challenging Carlito to a match. Carlito accepted, unaware that his opponent would be none other than the Great Khali, and was defeated.

WWE Smackdown - Queen Sharmell

Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman, (born November 2, 1974), better known as Queen Sharmell or simply Sharmell is a diva and manager for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), on the SmackDown brand. She first came to prominence in the wrestling world while a member of World Championship Wrestling as a Nitro Girl.

Sullivan was hired by the (now renamed) World Wrestling Entertainment in 2005, Pro Wrestling Debut: ing as a face valet for her real-life husband Booker T, but turning heel with him when he changed alignment. Sullivan, and Booker T - as faces - had a short feud with MNM (Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro and Melina Perez) which resulted in Sullivan wrestling (and losing) her first match as a WWE Diva on the August 18, 2005 edition of SmackDown! (Mercury and Melina vs Booker T and Sharmell).

Early on, Sullivan cheated to secure victories for her face husband, seemingly without his knowledge, until Booker turned heel upon winning the United States Title - due to Sullivan's interference - from Chris Benoit on an October edition of SmackDown! when it was revealed that Booker knew she was helping all along.

Sullivan and Booker T then found themselves being stalked by the Boogeyman, and during a match at WrestleMania 22 he managed to kiss Sullivan while he had a (legit) mouth full of worms.

After Booker T's victory in the 2006 King of the Ring tournament, Booker T began referring to himself as "King Booker" and Sharmell as "Queen Sharmell". Their new gimmick has seen them acting pompous and attempting British accents.

WWE - Amy Dumas

Q and A with Amy Dumas

By Kevin Eck
Sun Reporter
Originally published February 22, 2007

Anyone who has ever watched Amy Dumas, formerly known as Lita, perform her acrobatic, high-flying moves in WWE knows that she isn't afraid to take risks. Dumas perhaps took her biggest chance yet last November when she left WWE after nearly seven years to pursue a career in the music business. The former women's wrestling champ is the lead singer of the Luchagors, an Atlanta-based punk rock band. Dumas, 31, hasn't walked away from the ring completely, however, and she will make an appearance at Sunday's Maryland Championship Wrestling show in Dundalk.

What went into your decision to leave a highly successful career with WWE?

It felt like it was time to at least see what else was out there. It's a job that you have to give 110 percent to be successful at, and I just felt like I didn't have 110 percent to give anymore. I feel like if I would have stayed longer with WWE I would have started to resent my time there, because you're so inundated with the schedule and everything.

How did you feel about your breakup with fellow wrestler Matt Hardy and your involvement with Edge [Adam Copeland] becoming public knowledge and then being played out in a WWE story line?
