Liv Morgan vs. Aliyah - WWE NXT, Aug. 31, 2016

On WWE NXT on August 31, 2016, we had Liv Morgan vs. Aliyah.
You know, I really like Aliyah.
I think she has everything it takes to be a really good heel.
Although with the way wrestling is today...are there still Faces and Heels, or just "Tweeners"?
Aliyah though seems to be locked in the role of Jobber in NXT.
True she has only been wrestling professionally since 2013 and before coming to the WWE, she held the Great Canadian Wrestling Women's Championship and the Pure Wrestling Association Women's Championship.
Compare that to Carmella who before her debut in the WWE in 2013 held the....well....
And Eva Marie who before the WWE was the...ummm...yeah...
You see where I am going with this right?
Anyway...again..Aliyah jobbed to the less experienced wrestler.
And so it goes.

Sasha Banks - WWE Women

I haven't done anything for a while on "The Boss"...so here are some shots of beautiful WWE Diva Sasha Banks.
I have been a fan of Sasha's since she was known as Mercedes KV back in her Indy days.
Her real name is Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado and she made her wrestling debut back in 2010 for Chaotic Wrestling, which is based in Woburn, Massachusetts, and also where she trained.
She is a former NXT Women's Champion and hopefully soon a WWE Women's Champion.
Her finishing moves are the Bankrupt (which is a Straight jacket neckbreaker slam) and the Bank Statement (Bridging crossface transitioned from a double knee backbreaker).

WWE Women - WWE Diva Lana

Wrestling manager, model, actress, dancer, and singer Catherine Joy "C.J." Perry is better known to her fans in the WWE as Lana.
A lot of people seem to think that when she gets married to Miroslav Barnyashev aka Rusev, the WWE will let her go.
Part of the reason is the backstage heat she seems to have with other WWE Superstars like Paige, Kevin Owens and Brie and Nikki Bella.
However, the "Ravishing Russian" seems to be getting a story-line going with Brie Bella.
So who knows what will happen.....

WWE Diva Champ Charlotte

Charlotte (Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr-Latimer), the daughter of two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, and the sister of David Flair and Reid Flair, won the WWE Divas title at Night of Champions.
The former NXT Women's Champion is the 17th WWE Diva to wear the belt since Michelle McCool started it off in 2008.

Eva Marie vs Cassie - WWE NXT

Well maybe I was right.
I mentioned a while back that Eva Marie was taking her wrestling seriously now and had been training with Brian Kendrick.
Well she showed up on NXT in a match against Cassie...and you know what?
She looked pretty darn good.
You may recall that wanting the fans to take them seriously is what turned Trish Stratus, Candice Michelle and Kelly Kelly into World Champions.
Well maybe this is gonna work out for Eva Marie too.

Look at that sadistic little grin on Eva Marie's face as she wrenches Cassie's arm

Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson

Former WWE Diva Torrie Anne Wilson.
Yes she is 39.
Yes she still looks like this.
(Should I put this in wrestling or fitness?)
Although Torrie hasn't been with the WWE since 2008, I wonder what the chances are of her being attached to this alleged new E! Total Divas style TV show with former WWE Divas?
You can follow Torrie on Twitter (https://twitter.com/torrie11) and Instagram (https://instagram.com/torriewilson/).

Aksana Do Over

You know, I take the summer off and everything changes.
Case in point, Aksana (Zivile Raudoniene).
You probably already know that Zivile was an IFBB Figure Pro with a very promising career before she joined the WWE.
She had racked up wins at the 2006 NPC Metropolitan, the 2006 NPC Pittsburgh, the 2007 IFBB New York Pro and the 2009 Arnold Classic before agreeing to step into the squared circle.

Zivile started out in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) under the name "Olga", but it was soon changed to Aksana.
Good thing too because with "Olga", her European background and her musculature, I was afraid they were going for a female version of Mighty Igor or Ivan Putski.



But like I said, her name was changed to Aksana and she started managing Eli Cottonwood in November of 2009.
Then in January 2010, she made her in-ring debut and actually started wrestling.
Funny thing is, that when she started wrestling, she reminded me of Trish Stratus when she first started out.



But in August of 2011, Aksana showed up on SmackDown! with the same name, but a whole new look.
She doesn't remind me of Trish anymore and if anything, I think her new look has made her way hotter.
Now the blonde haired Aksana has jet black hair with bangs and dark skin.

Here is the fairly awkward scene where she shows up....



Maybe they should stop making her act and just focus on wrestling...
Yeah right.
That'll happen.

WWE and TNA News - Chuck, Jersey Shore, Sunny and More

On TNA's "Victory Road" Pay-Per View this Sunday, the Knockouts match will be Angelina Love and Winter taking on Sarita and Rosita.
Here's a little preview with The Beautiful People and Winter facing Sarita, Rosita, and Cookie...





On NBC's Chuck this Monday, former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler will return in her role as a "Greta".
But this time it looks like she'll be getting more screen time.





We all know now that the rumors of Cristiane "Cyborg"Santos coming to the WWE were false.
But what about Beth Phoenix's Tweet on her Twitter page?
"Rumours of Chris Cyborg coming to WWE are interesting. It’s easy to dominate in any fighting division without the Glamazon. In WWE? Prepare to humbled by yours truly."
Yeah we all know it's hype.
I mean Beth is good and I love her to death.
But against the Cyborg?

And the Jersey Shore's Snooki is gonna guest host Raw Monday night?
I haven't been this excited about Raw since K-Fed.
::holds up sarcasm sign:::





And the first "Diva" Former WWF Diva Tammy Lynn "Sunny" Sytch will be going into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
Sunny joins The Fabulous Moolah (Lillian Ellison), "Sensational" Sherri (Sherri Russell), Mae Young (Johnnie Mae Young) and Wendi Richter and Sunny is the youngest person (38) to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

WWE Smackdown Divas Natalya, Victoria and Michelle McCool

And now for some WWE Wrestling Rumors....

There's a rumor floating around the WWE that the legendary pro wrestling faction, the Hart Foundation may actually be coming back.
If you recall, a few years ago the idea was pitched and Chris Benoit was working with some of the members getting them ready.
Slam Wrestling brought the idea back up in an interview with WWE Smackdown Diva Natalya, whose reply was "You'll just have to wait and see.".

PWinsider.com is reporting that rumors are also floating around about WWE Diva Victoria retiring and actually having given the WWE a retirement date.
I think I mentioned that back in October.
Yeah I did.
Since I'm so good at predicting the future...." VICTORIA WILL NOT RETIRE AND SHE WILL BECOME THE NEW WWE WOMEN'S WRESTLING CHAMPION!"
Let's see how that does.....

Also, WWE Diva's Women Champion Michelle McCool has stated that her "Wings of Love"(a lifting sitout double underhook facebuster) finishing move was banned by the WWE.
COOL!
A banned Diva's wrestling move!
Heck, I always thought the " Widow's Peak" looked like it could kill you.

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 Champion, Michelle McCool

Danielle Rouleau seemed a little upset that Michelle McCool didn't make the ranks last month.
Since my readers are what I do this for....here's WWE Divas Champion, Michelle!
Maybe her status as the champ will help boost her ratings this month.

BTW, Danielle is an up and coming NPC figure competitor, you can check out her blog here: http://daniellerouleau.blogspot.com/, go by and say hello!
I used to hang out with some fitness competitors and I know how hard the lifestyle is. Let her know it's appreciated!

Beth Phoenix Wins at SummerSlam

Beth Phoenix won the WWE Divas Battle Royal last night at SummerSlam.
The other contestants and order of elmination were Brooke Adams, Maria, Layla, Victoria, Kristal,Kelly Kelly, Jillian Hall, Mickie James, Melina,Torrie Wilson and Michelle McCool.
Beth is now considered the number one contender for the WWE Women's Wrestling Championship held by Candice Michelle.
