Former WWE Diva Kelly Kelly in the Ring

You know WWE Diva Kelly Kelly started out slow in the WWE.
I mean really, she was a model when she got there.
However she did improve and eventually went on to hold the WWE Divas Championship for over 100 days.
But you would never know it by looking on the internet now.
You would think that she was just a Maria level jobber.

Barbie Blank - Women of Wrestling

You know I usually do current WWE Divas on here and save the former ones for other blogs.
However, I just wanted to point out how much better I think former WWE Diva Kelly looks now than she did when she was in the WWE.

Yeah I know it's the hair and the attitude.
She's a brunette doesn't have to be "perky" now.
Just makes me wonder what kind of heel she would have made like this.....

Although she is not in the WWE anymore, she has kept her hand in the business, appearing at shows for North East Wrestling (NEW).
I'm not sure though if she's using her WWE ringname or Barbie Blank.

 And if you just like the old Barbie better......

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout News, Sept 3rd

Diva Dirt is reporting that former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall might be heading to TNA.
Why not?
Bobby's already there.
And if you haven't seen Kristal lately, head over to her website http://mykristalonline.com/ and take a look at some of her pics.
This lady has really worked on herself and is getting in fitness competition shape.
I mean she is really getting cut and ripped!

And as far as her going to TNA, check out this Tweet from her on her Twitter account:
"It was nice catching up with Lisa Marie, aka Victoria oops I mean Tara!"

The WWE seems to be trying again with their womens division.
They had not one, but two female wrestling events Monday night on Raw.

First they had an American Dream Diva Battle Royal with Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes, Jillian Hall and Alicia Fox.
Rosa Mendes, Alicia Fox and Kelly were eliminated basically 1-2-3 and that left Beth, Gail and Jillian.
Jillain?
Maybe someone at the WWE is reading my blogs....LOL
Anyway, Gail eliminated Jillian and Beth eliminated Gail.
Beth getting attention again?

So then Beth had to turn around and take on Divas Champion Mickie James in a match later.
Of course Mickie won, but it was nice to see Beth and Jillian get some air time again.
Three of the best female wrestlers the WWE has on one show?
And they actually get ring time?
I hate to say it but I'm impressed.

And here are some random Tweets from the womens wrestling world......

TNA Knockout Tara:
"Just got back from TV tapings. Very eventful two days of wrestling. I am going to take a nap and get some beauty sleep."

WWE Diva Michelle McCool:
"Bad Knee = Bike riding! Bike riding = mad respect for cyclists!!! :) All of 20 minutes kicked by butt! :)"

WWE Diva Jillian Hall:
"I want a fluffy white kitten for my birthday!"
(BTW, Jillian's Birthday is September 6th)

And is female wrestler going to Wrestlicious?
Will they be taping new shows?
From Lena Yada's Twitter:
"been out of WWE for a while now. Just waiting filming for Wrestlicious :-) "

WWE Diva Eve Torres :
"In Puerto Rico! It's so beautiful here. Napped on the beach, ocean view, warm weather, great sushi for dinner. Do it again tomorrow!"

WWE Diva Maryse:
"yayyy back in LA!!! hopefully it will be sunny today ! "

And finally the talked about replacement for Lilian Garcia, Angela Fong
"My fortune cookie today says: an interesting sports opportunity is in your near future. Mmmmmmmm I'm liking the sound of that!!! :)"

WWE Diva Updates

All WWE Diva news today...

Last night on WWE RAW they had a "Mayweather Melee" pitting Mickie James, Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim against Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox.
The gimmick here is that all the girls wore boxing gear.
Of course this was done in honor of Floyd Mayweather being on the show.
Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox won after Alicia nailed Mickie with a scissors kick.
(It was nice to see Beth in another match.)

Actually, I know it's kinda weird but I sorta liked this gimmick match.
Maybe it's because the Diva matches I used to play on my "SmackDown! vs. RAW" games were actually like this.
Despite the "boxing" theme they were actually wearing MMA gloves and (I usually try to refrain from saying this) and I actually think they looked hotter in their gimmick outfits.
I know awhile back Vince talked about leaning more towrads MMA style matches at one time.
Some of the Divas have martial arts training.
Maybe Vince was looking at how a MMA style match would go over.
After all, MMA is knocking on the WWE's door really loud.
I wonder how a MMA/Pro wrestling hybrid style would work for the WWE?


Moving on, They had a short segment with Jillian Hall and Vince where she was dressed as Marylin Monroe and doing the "Happy Birthday Mr. Preisdent " thing.
Way to use a lady with 11 years wrestling experience guys.


You can now follow Michelle McCool on Twitter.
Just go to http://twitter.com/McCoolMichelleL

And before SummerSlam, MSN did a slideshow of the WWE divas with really nice pics here:

Survivor Series: Raw Divas vs. SmackDown Divas

Survivor Series: Raw Divas vs. SmackDown Divas

Last Night the Raw Divas faced the Smackdown Divas in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match.
I thought it was a solid event, but the fans there didn't seem to think so.
I mean really, you had 3 women in there that can barely wrestle. You work with what you have.
Low point...Victoria getting eliminated first.
Aww come on! (Yes I was angry about that.)
High points...Natalya locking the Sharpshooter on Candice Michelle and Candice tapping out to a figure four by Maryse.
Stop!
A figure four leglock by Maryse?
Anyway it was down to Maryse and Beth, and Beth put it to bed with a Glam Slam that took out Maryse.
Let me confess, I really don't hold Maryse in high regard as a wrestler, but she made a good effort.
So the winners were the Raw Divas led by WWE Women's Wrestling Champion Beth Phoenix.
Now....what about a WWE Raw Divas versus TNA Knockouts match....?

WWE Divas Survivor Series match

Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Jillian Hall and Candice Michelle will take on Victoria, Michelle McCool, Natalya Neidhart, Maryse and Maria in a Survivor Series match.
Well now we might get to see some dream face offs.
Maybe Victoria and Beth Phoenix will finally go at it.
Just based on raw wrestling ability, the RAW and Smackdown sides seem fairly evenly balanced.
On the Raw side you have Beth Phoenix, Mickie James and Jillian Hall that can really wrestle.
And on the Smackdown side you have Victoria and Natalya Neidhart.
Of course I imagine the dream match up will be WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix in the ring with WWE Divas Champion Michelle McCool.
I'm just glad this will be a real match and not a pillow fight or Super Soaker match.

The WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 Divas

Here are all the WWE Divas that are in the new WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game....

From WWE Raw: Ashley, Beth Phoenix, Candice, Jillian, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Melina and Mickie James
And from WWE SmackDown: Maria, Michelle McCool and Victoria
And your standard non-playable characters: Lilian Garcia and Stephanie McMahon.

I thought including Ashley was unusual, but maybe at the time the game was being developed she was still on the roster.
Or maybe she was included because she's still very popular.
And who knows, one day we may get a WWE game that has a "Women's Wrestling Legends" section.
I would think though that it would be a bit too soon to include Moolah and Sherri Martel.
But imagine having Mad Maxine, Wendi Richter, Debbie Combs, Leilani Kai, Missy Hyatt, Rockin' Robin, Heidi Lee Morgan, Alundra Blayze, Tammy Lynn Sytch, Luna Vachon and Tori as unlockable characters.
But I guess that would be a whole different game huh?
Maybe "WWE SmackDown vs. Raw: Divas Edition" ?
