Wrestling News and Rumors - TNA Knockouts and WWE Divas

http://www.tnawrestling.com/

The first thing is that at the TNA PPV, Lockdown, not only did the TNA Knockouts title change hands, but the TNA Knockouts tag-team titles did as well.
In a match with Angelina Love and Tara vs. The Beautiful People, Madison Rayne won the match for The Beautiful People when Lacey Von Erich hit Tara with the belt from behind.
Thusly, Madison is the new TNA Knockouts champion, and The Beautiful People are the new TNA Knockouts tag-team champs as well.

After the match, Angelina Love was looking at Tara all mean for getting pinned, she helped Tara up, turned to walk away and Tara attacked Angelina from behind.

Now, there are three articles recently posted at the Bleacher Report that I thought everyone might find interesting.

Firts up, an article by Dan Power, about how the "old school" WWF/WWE female wrestlers would never make it as Divas today.....
"Some of the best wrestling ladies would never be considered to become a Diva in nowadays WWE standards.
Currently, the WWE marketing department presents the Divas as ''Sexy, Smart, Powerful.'. As you see, the word ''sexy'' comes first."

You can read the full article (with slide show) here

Second, there is an article by The Phantom, talking about how some of the current WWE Divas are better wrestlers than you think.
I have to admit I agree with all but one of his picks.
If you read my blogs regularly, you'll know which one I don't agree with.
I also think he left out one major player, but hey, its all opinion right?

You can read the full article (with another really cool slide show) here

And Adam Skylark has an article titled "Is It Time WWE Starting Listing to The Internet Fans" that while it's not exactly directed women's wrestling, it's something I've been saying for awhile.

WWE Diva Mickie James' Close Call

WWE Diva Mickie James debut album, Strangers & Angels was supposed to be released on March 23rd, but it's been bumped back to mid May.
Why?
Mickie has been in pretty rough shape physically lately and I really didn't realize how close we came to losing her until I read her blog.

Strangely enough, she says in the blog that " My main focus now, as it should be, is to get myself 150% for Wrestlemania first and foremost... Wrestlemania is the grandest stage of them all for anyone who's ever stepped in the squared circle.. who’s dreamed of stepping out that curtain knows that Wrestlemania is the end all be all."

So there is a womans match for Wrestlemania?
I haven't seen any indication of one yet.....
Maybe it will be a last minute addition.

Wrestlicious Premiers March 1st, 2010

I did my first entry on Wrestlicious back in March of last year, and after a lot of trials, tribulations, second guessing and anticipation....the all female wrestling show, Wrestlicious Takedown, begins airing on March 1st, 2010.
Yes Wrestlicious will finally be on the air.
Although (after all this time you KNOW there had to be an although) it seems neither Bright House or Dish Network are listing Wrestlicious in the 11PM ET time slot on Monday March 1st.
In the famous words of The Hurricane..."What's up with that?"

Originally I had heard that MavTV would air its shows in the United States, and the wrestling promotion would air on Bite TV in Canada.
I had also heard that Wrestlicious TakeDown would be syndicated nationally via America One. (http://americaone.com).

But, according to 411 mania.com, MavTV has confirmed the "Takedown" series will air at 11PM ET.

I've been waiting for this for almost a year now....I hope everything falls into place.

J.V...I'm wishing you all the best!

Wrestling News and Rumors: Awesome Kong, Velvet Sky, Traci Brooks and More

http://www.tnawrestling.com/

Is Awesome Kong still in TNA?
Well as of right now yes.
According to just about every source on the Web, Kong requested her release from TNA, but TNA denied it.
Where I thought this had to do with the Bubba the Love Sponge incident, it seems it goes deeper.
Kong appears to be upset over the amount of money the wrestling promotion is shelling out for new talent, while they tell her and the other Knockouts they cant get raises.

You know TNA, this is a really good way to lose talent.
Yeah Kong and the others can still wrestle for you, but they can also sleepwalk through wrestling matches, and give lackluster performances.
The last thing TNA needs is a mass exodus of female wrestling talent to the WWE.
Youve already lost Trenesha Biggers (Rhaka Khan), Lauren Brooke, Josette Bynum (Sojo Bolt), Jacqueline Moore, Jenna Morasca, Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman and Alissa Flash (Cheerleader Melissa) in about a years time.
Okay some were not that big of a loss, but some were.
Excessive turnover is not a good thing for the fans.

Pay these "veterans" what they are worth and get that TNA Knockout show (that you have been talking about since 2008) up and running.


http://www.tnawrestling.com/

And in other TNA Knockout news, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky will both be appearing in an upcoming issue of the UK's FHM Magazine.
They did a shoot while they were on the recent tour of England.
Unfortunately Lacey Von Erich wasn't in the photoshoot because she didnt go.
You may recall that Angelina Love and Velvet were in a Muscle and Fitness magazine awhile back.


http://www.tnawrestling.com/

One of the biggest (if not the biggest ) wrestling rumors at the moment is the Traci Brooks / Frankie Kazarian story.
I really am not gonna go into all that here.
I just wanted an excuse to post this pic of Traci in a blue bikini from TNA.



And in other news, my friends over at at Lethalwow.com did their top female wrestlers of 2009 list, and Mercedes Martinez won the 2009 Wrestler of the year award.
Tara won for best TNA star, Melina won RAW Wrestler of the Year and Michelle McCool won Smackdown! Wrestler of the Year.
Out of their Top 25, their top ten picks were:
1) Mercedes Martinez
2) Michelle McCool
3) Amazing Kong
4) Melina Perez
5) Tara
6) Angelina Love
7) Mickie James
8) Sarah Del Rey
9) Angel Orsini
10) ODB

WWE Wrestling - Melina versus Alicia Fox

Last night on WWE Monday Night Raw, they had a Diva's Championship match with the champion Melina defending her title against Alicia Fox.
I still cannot figure out why in the world Fox is getting such a push, but how can I not like a match that Judah Friedlander from "30 Rock" is involved in?
Well Frank...I mean Judah comes out and says that he will be the special guest announcer and he introduces Melina and Alicia.
Alicia jumps on Judah (not literally) and tells him to announce her as the next Diva Champion.
Judah says he cant do that, he only came to Raw for two reasons....
One, to see Melina's entrance, and two, to announce that the Diva's Championship match is now a lumberjill match.
The Divas all come out and surround the ring.
The match takes place and I'm wondering why we aren't watching Melina and a real contender going at it rather than this.
(wasn't Alicia almost fired from OVW for showing up for work intoxicated once? Why yes she was.)

But anyway Melina pulls out the victory (thank goodness) which leads to an all out brwal and "Team Mickie" coming out on top.

If you missed the match, you can see the whole thing at WWE.com here:
http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/vms/raw/2009/november15-21/12637296

How much you wanna bet we'll see footage from this match show up on 30 Rock in the future?

TNA Knockout News and Amy Dumas (Lita)

Besides all the Victory Road news, a rumor coming out of TNA is that Traci Brooks (Is she still the Knockout Law?) and Christy Hemme will both be returning for this weeks taping.
And also rumored to appear is Japanese star, Ayako Hamada.

Traci and Christy coming back, Sarita and Ayako debuting right behind each other....
Is TNA set to knockout (sorry) the other wrestling promotion's women's division?

And there is another rumor surfacing that former TNA Knockout Karen Angle is living with.....Jeff Jarret?
Talk about an uncomfortable working situation with Jarret being so high up in TNA and Kurt Angle working for them.
Of course this is ONLY a rumor.

Change The Record.net has an interview up with Lita (Okay, enough time has passed...it's Amy Dumas now).
The cool thing to me is that Amy talks about why she wasn't at Wrestlemania.

Faye: Were you invited to take part in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania 25, this year? If so, why did you turn it down?
Amy: Did you see that match?!
Faye: Yeah, it was so bad!
Amy: Right, that’s why I turned it down.

You can read the interview and understand why I like the way Amy thinks here:

New TNA Knockout Jenna Morasca ?

Sole survivor and million dollar grand prize winner of CBS' “Survivor: The Amazon”in 2003, Jenna Morasca has signed with TNA.
Why?
I have ragged WWE for signing women that have nothing to do with wrestling, and now TNA turns around and does it.
It can't be star power.
I had to look up who she was.
I mean she won in 2003, that was six years ago.
So why is she in TNA?




Former WWE Diva Joy Giovanni was backstage at Monday's Raw in San Antonio, Texas.
Could she possibly be thinking about a come back?
Maybe in time for the 25 Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania?



And rumor has it that the WWE has contacted Luna Vachon to appear in the Battle Royal.
This of course would be better than having Charlie Haas showing up in a dress.

TNA iMPACT and WWE SmackDown! women's wrestling matches this week

This week on TNA iMPACT, Taylor Wilde will face Christy Hemme with Traci Brooks as a special referee.
TNA iMPACT will air Thursday night.

TNA Knockouts Tag Team Match at Slammiversary

Gail Kim, ODB and Roxxi came out on top, with ODB providing the win with a running powerslam.

Also, Awesome Kong had her challenge match against two " civilians" who were really Serena Deeb (OVW) and Josie Robinson (WLW).

WWE Divas - Jillian Hall

Jillian Faith Fletcher (September 6, 1979) is a professional wrestler who currently performs for World Wrestling Entertainment on the SmackDown! brand under the ring name Jillian Hall.

Debuting in 1998, Fletcher wrestled under the ring name "The Bombshell" Macaela Mercedes on the independent circuit and in the G.L.O.R.Y. promotion. Because of this early ring name both "Macaela Mercedes" and "Jillian Mercedes" have been incorrectly listed as her real names.

In the spring of 2003 Fletcher began working for Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) under the name Jillian Hall and, eventually signing a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment 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. As a heel she managed the OVW Southern Tag Team Champion Blonde Bombers (Tank and Chad Toland) alongside her bodyguard Melissa Coates and went on a spree of (kayfabe) blinding people with rubbing alcohol.

Jillian Hall made her World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) debut on the July 28, 2005 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown! with a gimmick of a "fixer" 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. The gimmick carried over to OVW, where the Blonde Bombers forced her to choose between them and MNM. She eventually chose MNM, but did not stay with that group for very long.

Her first feud on SmackDown! was against Stacy Keibler, with the two confronting each other many times until Hall cheated to defeat Keibler in a match on the October 29 Velocity.

Hall was later approached by JBL, a former WWE Champion who asked for help repairing his image after a loss to underdog Rey Mysterio. As JBL's "Image Consultant", she became an important role in JBL's feud with The Boogeyman, which included her having a hand full of worms shoved up her skirt and her mole being bitten off by the monster. She also successfully guided JBL to winning the United States Championship from Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 22.

That April, after Hall accidentally slammed a cage door on JBL's head during a steel cage match , he fired her from her assistants position.

After being fired, she turned face and began a feud with former client Melina of MNM, whom she defeated in a Six Man Tag Team match along with Paul London and Brian Kendrick and at Judgment Day 2006 in a controversial fashion.

For the rest of the summer she teamed with Ashley Massaro in a feud against Michelle McCool and Kristal Marshall . She would participate in a Bra and Panties match at The Great American Bash which was won by Ashley, afterwards she was not utilized on television much.

She returned in February of 2007 and began a new feud with Massaro centered around Hall's jealousy of Massaro's recent Playboy appearance. During the feud, Hall attempted to prove that she was talented in arenas beyond wrestling and being eye candy by badly singing at every opportunity. She later attempted to impress music producer Timbaland with her singing, looking for a spot in a video he was preparing and a possible future collaboration on a music project, but he turned her down.

Ashley, with whom she had been feuding, was one of the Divas who was chosen to work with Timbaland instead. Jealous of Ashley's recent successes, she (kayfabe) attacked and seriously injured Ashley, with the reasoning that if she couldn't appear in Timbaland's music project, neither would Massaro. Following this incident, she would resume her feud with Michelle McCool, who came to Ashley's aid.
