Ex WWE Diva Maria Returns to the Ring

Maria Returns to the Ring
http://beautiful-wrestling.blogspot.com/



With all the comings and goings in the WWE, it's hard to keep track of everyone.
But as we have seen with Mickie James, Lisa Marie Varon, Gail Kim and others, just because you leave the WWE, doesn't mean you leave wrestling.
Case in point, ex WWE Diva Maria Kanellis.
Yes Maria will be returning to the squared circle on February 25th, 2012 for New York City based wrestling promotion, Family Wrestling Entertainment.
This will be her first match in over two years, but she said recently on her Facebook page that she had resumed wrestling training.

Okay, Maria was really popular, but to me she was the ultimate Diva jobber.
Don't get me wrong, jobbers are important in wrestling.
They make the heels and faces look better and to tell you the truth, there arent really any jobbers left in the WWE Diva ranks anymore.
It's kind of a lost art.

As far as Family Wrestling Entertainment goes, I had never heard of them.
I checked their website and found this as their "mission statement"...

"Top Rope Promotions, LLC., is proud to present Family Wrestling Entertainment (FWE). FWE is committed to providing a family-friendly wrestling experience with all the action and excitement of the familiar TV-model but without any of the violence typically associated with wrestling entertainment. FWE’s exceptional story lines created by a variety of wrestling personalities provides a unique brand of in-ring entertainment that is appropriate for all members of the family. We are Family Wrestling Entertainment and we take our name very seriously."

Looking at an upcoming card, I noticed that former WWE Diva and current TNA Knockout Winter would be taking on another former WWE Diva Jackie Haas (who I really liked and thought the WWE pretty much wasted) in a match.

WWE Divas 18 Diva Tag Team Match

Last night on WWE Raw, they had an eighteen Divas tag match.
I know this is a build up for the 25 Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania, but an 18 Diva tag match?
That's got to be confusing even by WWE standards.
And guess who was there?
Yes...Gail Kim.
AND Victoria!
So I guess we can pretty much assume that Gail and Victoria will be at Wrestlemania.

The match was won by the team of Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, Brie Bella, Mickie James, Maria, Tiffany and Alicia Fox.
Team?
That's more like an army.

BTW, even though this is on WWE Raw, Gail will be on Smackdown this week.
And at the WWE roster page on Wikipedia, Gail is listed as a Smackdown Diva.
I'm thinking we're gonna see a Gail Kim / Maryse feud.

Another BTW, I'm not even gonna talk about the Santino Marella skit after the match.
I just hope we do NOT see him in the Battle Royal.

Updated WWE Diva list for WrestleMania

Okay, here is an updated list of the WWE Divas for the 25 Diva Battle Royale at WrestleMania.

Confirmed:
WWE Women's champion Melina
WWE Diva's champion Maryse
Mickie James
Gail Kim
Michelle McCool
The Bella Twins
Alicia Fox
Kelly Kelly
Maria
Eve Torres
Katie Lea Burchill
Beth Phoenix
Layla El
Rosa Mendes
Candice Michelle
Natalya Neidhart
Jillian Hall
Tiffany

No:
Ashley Massaro
Sable
Dawn Marie
Lita
Molly Holly
Debra McMichael
Mae Young

Maybe:
Tammy Sytch
Wendi Richter (PWInsider.com says no)
Jackie Gayda
Trish Stratus
Tori Wilson
Victoria

That's 19 confirmed and 5 maybes.
That's 24 if all the maybes decide to participate.
They may wind up making Steph get her wrestling boots after all.
And if the maybes don't do it at all, it may be time to call up the FCW Divas....

Gail Kim to Return at Wrestlemania 25 ?

Well the WWE Wrestlemania 25 women's wrestling event may be a disappointment to some.
A lot of fans were looking forward to at least one good singles match, but they are having a 25 Diva Battle Royal.
How can they have a 25 Diva Battle Royal?
The WWE doesn't even have 25 Divas do they?
Nope, but they are calling up the reserves.
This could be as much fun for the female wrestling fans as a Legends Battle Royal

The list goes like this, but I already see one possible exception.

1. Beth Phoenix
2. Candice Michelle (recently injured her ankle, expected to be out till April, will she make it?)
3. Jillian Hall
4. Kelly Kelly
5. Layla
6. Melina
7. Mickie James
8. Rosa Mendes
9. Brie Bella
10. Eve
11. Maria
12. Maryse
13. Michelle McCool
14. Nikki Bella
15. Alicia Fox
16. Katie Lea Burchill
17. Natalya
18. Tiffany

Now the other participants are up in the air, but rumors include.....

Trish Stratus
Lita
Torrie Wilson
Victoria
Jackie Gayda (Jackie Gayda-Haas)
And the return of Gail Kim.

Of course this is the perfect time to bring Gail back in, have her win the match and be declared the new number one challenger.
Remember the first battle royal Gail was in?

I have to admit, I think Mr.McMahon came up with a good idea this time.
This will give all the Divas some Wrestlemania time.

More WWE Smackdown Divas

Maria will be facing Maryse this week on WWE Smackdown!.
The winner will get a future shot at the WWE Diva's championship held by Michelle McCool.
People have been ragging Michelle about her limited in ring skill and I can understand that.
But in case you haven't noticed, Michelle and Maryse are both working hard on their performance.
Would I rather see the Divas Champion be someone like Natalya or Victoria?
Of course.
I mean wouldn't it make more sense to have one of them hold the title while women like Brie and Nikki Bella, Maria, Maryse and Michelle work on their game?
The Old Westerns had it right.
The experienced gunfighter taking on all the upstarts till one of them finally gets good enough to take him out.
I wonder if the WWE would let me write for them?

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" ?

WWE Diva Victoria and Steroids

WWE Diva Victoria is another one besides Batista that's more than a little upset about the general leveling of steroid accusations

On her MySpace page she starts out.....
" I'm sick to my stomach about a couple of things, and I want to address them. First, I get some emails today asking me if I'm one of the WWE Divas that "a number of WWE sources" claim are using drugs. Where did that information come from? Where did that quote come from? Wrestling websites. So I want to address those wrestling websites... "

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.

WWE Diva: Maria Kanellis...push over?

Maria's push seems to have vanished as she was just a target for getting Beth Phoenix over last Monday night on WWE RAW.
I really wanted to see Maria pull a Candice Michelle and start to shine. I never really expected Maria to win the Women's Wrestling title, but remember those jobbers back in the 80's that made it look like they might win? The ones that wrestled matches that weren't total squashes?
Oh yeah, the matches lasted more than 3 minutes back then too.
I forgot.

Melina wrestling Maria on WWE RAW

Not a lot really to say about this match.
Candice Michelle came out first and did her little dance on the outside of the ropes and joined JR and King.
Melina needs to ditch the paparazzi entrance.
And get a new hair style
Maria came out all fired up and throwing punches like she was really going to do something. I was hoping some of CM Punk might have rubbed off on her. ( Insert your own joke here)
Maria put up a decent fight ( for an interviewer) and it wasn't a squash like I thought it would be. Maria is getting better.
But lets face it, this is the WWE, we should be seeing women's wrestlers on the level of the male wrestlers.
In Japan and Mexico they don't go," Awww this is gonna suck, its a women's match!"
Melina won naturally with that leg split drop finishing move. ( JR didn't call it anything so I don't know if it has a name.)

But the whole point of the match I think was to get Candice over.
After the match Melina, who had been glaring at Candice all through the match, comes over to the announce table.
Candice, bless her heart, had the sense to stand up and Melina dove on her. Exchange of blows and Candice slams Melina into the security wall.
Melina glares at Candice. With no Johnny Nitro there to blindside Candice, Melina is pretty much at a loss as to what to do next, so she glares some more.
Candice stands up on the announce table. , Women's Belt over her head and gets what I thought was a less than stellar pop.
