Victoria - Former WWE Diva

How about some WWE era (and beyond) Victoria...just because.
If you read this blog you know I have always been a big Victoria fan.
Her real name is Lisa Marie Varon and yes she did wrestle in TNA as Tara, but she will always be Victoria to me.

Lisa Marie Varon's Birthday!

I loved her as WWE Diva Victoria, as TNA Knockout Tara and as Lisa Marie Varon.
And today is her birthday!
So Happy Birthday Lisa Marie!

TNA Knockout and FCW Diva News

At TNA's "Against All Odds" PPV on Sunday night (February 13, 2011), the champion Madison Rayne took on Mickie James in a Last Knockout Standing match.
Mickie went after the loaded glove, and actually got it.



But that was ruined when Tara interfered, the ref got distracted and Madison laid Mickie out with brass knuckles that she had hidden in her boot.
Always carry a back up.



In (kinda) WWE Diva news, Aksana and AJ Lee beat the debuting Raquel Diaz (Shaul Guerrero) and Naomi Night at a FCW show in Gainesville, Florida on February 12th, 2011.
Maxine was the special referee and Shaul's mother Vickie Guerrero saw fit to interfere in the match and cost Shaul and Naomi the match.

And here is the FCW Diva match in full, posted by DanTheCannon on YouTube:

Mickie James Versus Tara - Turning Point

Well I guess now Mickie James is firmly entrenched in TNA.
The former WWE Diva turned TNA Knockout will be facing another former WWE Diva turned Knockout Tara at the TNA PPV Turning Point on November 7th.

Tara is allegedly angry at Mickie, because she thinks that Mickie had something to do with Tara's WWE release.
Of course this is all storyline because Tara (Victoria) left the WWE back in January 2009 on her own terms.
But you need something to fuel the fire right?

One thing I have noticed since Mickie has arrived on TNA, is that the "Piggy James" thing has been laid to rest.
TNA seems to be celebrating Mickie's voluptuousness.
Look at her "Daisy Dukes" and tied off plaid shirt wrestling gear.
And another thing I have noticed, is that the fans (mainly the male ones) seem to be firmly behind the curvy look.

You have to admit, back in the old days, you didn't see model thin ladies duking it out in the ring.
And you wont see that with the shapely Mickie and Tara going at it in the ring.

Wrestling News and Rumors - Victoria/Tara, Jazz, Mickie James and More

Former WWE Diva, and maybe soon to be former TNA Knockout Lisa Marie Varon (Tara/Victoria) will be appearing at the Philadelphia Comic Con on June 11-13 at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
Also appearing there (among the ton of comic book and science fiction stars) will be another former WWE Diva, Jazz (Carlene Begnaud).
For more info go here:

And in more convention news, former WWE Diva Mickie James will be appearing at K&S's "Heat Wave" event taking place on July 10th at the Holiday Inn in Carteret, New Jersey.
Another former WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro, will be appearing there as well.
You can get more info here:

By the way, with both Melina and Beth Phoenix out with torn ACLs maybe letting Mickie James go wasn't such a good idea.
But hey, she didn't get along with Batista so she had to go right?

Since we seem to be stuck on former WWE Divas, Trish Stratus' film Bail Enforcers is in pre-production and set for a 2011 release.

You can check out the website here:

It may seem like most of the news here is about "former WWE Divas", but with the TNA women's division going like it is, "former TNA Knockout" may be being heard more and more in the future.
Tara leaving seems to be pretty much a given now.
If she'll go back to WWE or go ahead with MMA, I don't know.
Sarita and Taylor Wilde both are apparently WWE bound now as well.
Awesome Kong is already gone.
ODB signed a signed a multi-year deal with TNA in November of 2009, but she really doesn't seem too happy there.
And you have both Angelina Love and Daffney on the inactive roster due to injuries.

I had such high hopes for the TNA Knockout division once.....

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout News, Plus...Mickie James' Birthday

Today is WWE Divas Champion Mickie James' birthday!
Yes, 30 years ago today Mickie was born in Montpelier, Virginia.
So Happy Birtday Mickie!

No doubt spurred on by Fox's "Wrestlicious", TNA is again talking about an all Knockouts TV Show.
Okay, maybe not spurred by Wrestlicious, maybe TNA is just really serious about the womens division.
After all, they are bringing the tag team belts back right?
This is something I've been wishing the WWE would do for years.
(Actually, didnt I read somewhere that SmackDown was originally supposed to be a WWE Diva show?)

And speaking of the WWE, they have signed another Diva talent.
Someone from the Indy ranks with years of wrestling experience that will enhance the womens wrestling division right?
Nope.
They signed 21 year old Trinity McCray, a dancer for the Orlando Magic.
She's starting training at Florida Championship Wrestling.

And Back to TNA, as you probably already have heard, Roxxi will be returning to TNA for the Knockout Tag Team Title Tournament.
Rumor has it that she will be partnering with Madison Rayne.
I wonder if they are gonna keep Roxxi and Rhaka Khan seperated?
As of right now, here is the line up for the Knockout Tag Team Title Tournament...
1.Traci Brooks and Sharmell versus Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed
(Kong and Saeed won which kinda stunned me because I figured Traci would win (upcoming PR) and Saeed would lose to develop Alissa Flash.)
2. Taylor Wilde and Sarita versus Daffney and Alissa Flash
3. The Beautiful People vs. Madison Rayne and Roxxi
4. Hamada and Sojo Bolt vs. Tara and Christy Hemme (Interesting choice considering Christy and Tara's past history).


The September 14th edition of Monday Night Raw will be hosted by former WWE Diva Trish Stratus.

www.MichelleMcCool.net, has an interview posted with the Diva.
You can read the interview here

Female Wrestling News - Lisa Marie Varon, Mickie James, Gail Kim and More

TNA Knockout Tara (WWE's Victoria and aka Lisa Marie Varon) is still having a war of words with female MMA fighter Kim Couture.
I did a write up about it today on my Female MMA blog here.

Is Lilian Garcia really leaving WWE?
LOL...well they keep saying she is.
Right now a possible replacement for Lilian is FCW star Angela Fong.
I guess we will wait and see.

And speaking of FCW, I was wondering who FCW wrestler and valet "Candy Girl" was.
Well now I know.
And not because of a good thing.
Candy Girl (or "Liviana") was arrested on Sunday, June 14, 2009 on charges of Driving under the Influence.
Her real name, by the way, is Karlee Leliani Perez and she's a Tampa-based model.
The WWE and models.
Vince, look at Shimmer's roster.
Hire some wrestlers!
Geez!

And if the WWEs PG look is bothering you, blame John Cena.
Yes, Cena evidently campaigned for the new look.
Now if they would just get off the "look" and focus more on wrestling ability.

And just what happened in the infamous "Mickie James-Gail Kim" match last week on Raw?
Other than the surreal finish that is.
TWNP News reported that Mickie was "chewed out by management backstage at Raw on Monday as a result of how she reacted when her match with Gail Kim fell apart" and that Gail was "Kim was indeed out of it towards the end of the match, thus explaining why it fell apart. She was treated backstage during the show, but it was said to not be serious. "
Her condition wasn't serious?
What happened?
Was it because of that messed up cross body earlier?
Concussion maybe?

And I guess everyone knows that the new ECW Diva Courtney Taylor is actually Beverly Mullins from FCW (aka Daisy, aka Wesley Holiday).

FCW seems to be getting a lot of play these days huh?

TNA "Victory Road" PPV Knockouts Results

Last night at TNA's Victory Road, they had two female wrestling matches.

First up was a return match between Knockout Champion Tara and challenger and former Knockout Champion Angelina Love.
Of course Angelina came out with The Beautiful People and Tara came out with a spider in a jar.
BTW, Tara is short for Tarantula if you didn't know.
The crowd seemed to really get behind the match and of course Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne pulled ot their bag of usual tricks, one of which resulted in Madison accidentally spraying Velvet in the eyes instead of Tara.
The match ended in an WCW Old School kinda way when Angelina made a pin attempt, Tara got her foot on the rope out at two but "impartial" ref Slick Johnson counted three anyway.
So Angelina Love has regained the TNA Knockouts Championship.

After the match Tara got in the ref's face, clobbered Johnson and hit the Widow's Peak on Angelina.
She was about to put the spider on Angelina (Shades of Jake the Snake!) but Velvet and Madison pulled Angelina out and Tara put the snake..errr..spider on Slick.

BTW, later in an interview backstage with Lauren, Slick admitted he screwed up and said he would get Tara a rematch.

The next match was Sharmell versus Jenna Morasca.
Jenna of course came out with Awesome Kong and Sharmell came out with Sojourner Bolt.
The match was basically a catfight with hair pulling etc.
Even though the match was between Sharmell and Jenna, Sojo and Kong were heavily involved.
Jenna got the victory after Kong nailed Sharmell and Jenna covered her with an unladylike pin.

But that's not all.
After the match, Jenna was trying to boss Kong around until finally Kong got fed up and took out her frustrations on Jenna.
