Beth Phoenix and Maria on RAW last night

Wow, Beth Phoenix beat Maria last night.
Okay I know I said yesterday it was gonna be a squash, but that's not some huge psychic flash now is it?
Beth beat her very quickly. I dunno what her finishing move is, but it looks kinda like a fisherman's supplex to me.
After the match, Beth grabbed the mike and announced that she is cashing in her Women's title shot at Unforgiven and wants to show Candice how she gets the job done. She picks up poor Maria and slams her again and Candice runs out to make the save but has second thoughts and instead just tends to Maria.

My hope..... Beth creams Candice at Unforgiven, and we get to see the Beth versus Victoria feud for the title!
I know, keep dreaming.

Almost a WWE Diva: Lauren Jones

Well Lauren Jones may not have actually made it to WWE Diva status, but we can always hope.
The sad thing is that in interviews, she seemed intent on becoming a diva that actually wrestled. From the way she was talking, she might have been the next Trish Stratus.

She hasn't been sitting on her laurels though, ( I know, BAD attempt at a pun) She's appeared on the Nickelodeon TV series The Naked Brothers Band, MTV2's Wonder Showzen, the soap opera, Guiding Light, and as a Barker's Beauty on the CBS' game show The Price is Right, where she appeared for five weeks in April and May 2007.

Lauren is starring in the scripted/reality hybrid series Anchorwoman, that premiered on the Fox Broadcasting network last night, August 22, 2007. Some journalists voiced outspoken criticism of her 30-day broadcast-news stunt at a small Tyler, Texas television station.

WWE RAW: Candice Michelle and Mickie James against Melina and Beth Phoenix

Last night on Raw there was a very decent match with Candice Michelle and Mickie James against Melina and Beth Phoenix.
Melina came out first, I'm so glad her hair looks normal now and not that modified " Bride of Frankenstein" thing she had going on.
Beth Phoenix came out next. I dunno, maybe its that floor length cape/vest thing she wears during her intro, but the woman looks wicked! She's got this awesome supervillainess vibe.
Then of course " Superball" Mickie James came out bouncing, I swear I think shes gonna start ricocheting off the barriers one day.
Then Candice came out with her new techno remix of her theme. Maybe it was just me, but her pop seemed less than stellar.
Before the match starts, RAW GM William Regal comes out and announces that at SummerSlam all the divas from all 3 brands will be in a Battle Royal to determine a new number 1 contender for Candice's title.
Short match with some good moves from all involved.
Candice won with a roll-up I haven't seen outside of Lucha Libre.
Then while celebrating, her partner Mickie James spinning wheel kicks her. Melina chucks Mickie out and Beth tosses Melina out the hard way.
I guess this is to get across the " every woman for themselves " message.
Candice Michelle, Mickie James, Melina, Beth Phoenix, Jillian Hall and Victoria all in a battle royal?
Heck, I might just get this PPV after all.
Just to see Beth against Victoria would be worth the price.
