The Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational

The Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational happened last night at WrestleMania.
It was the big mess that everyone called, but hey, considering the match they followed...it's amazing they weren't all sitting around in shock!

Anyway we knew who was gonna win.
Now we have to wait and see how many rivalries come out of it.....

The History of the WWE Divas at WrestleMania

You know...the history of the WWE Divas at WrestleMania is not a very good one.
Did you know that for ten years there were NO Diva matches at WrestleMania?

And out of all the WrestleManias, I can only remember maybe two good matches.

Brie and Nikki Bella vs AJ Lee and Tamina on WWE SmackDown

So on WWE Friday Night SmackDown they had AJ and Tamina taking on Brie and Nikki Bella.
I guess the other ten WWE Divas on the roster were busy.

I expected at least a six on six match up.
You know...to get us ready for Wrestlemania.

But we got this...and the Bella Twins won when Tamina shoved AJ right into the ring and right into a Bella Buster delivered by Brie.

10 Diva Tag Team - WWE Main Event

On the road to Wrestlemania, I guess the WWE is intent on showing us how bad that 14 diva match is gonna look.
So they give us Natalya, Eva Marie, The Funkadactyls and Emma vs. Summer Rae, Layla, Alicia Fox, Aksana and Tamina Snuka in case we had any doubt.
Aside from a few close calls, no one was hurt.
But out of 14 Divas in the match at Wrestlemania you will have 4 with a lot of ring experience.
Good luck.

AJ vs Naomi - WWE Monday Night Raw

WWE Divas Champion AJ took on Naomi on WWE Monday Night Raw....kind of.
AJ got counted out of the match.
Then the real horror began as Vickie Guerrero came out and announced the 14-Diva single-fall "Vickie Guerrero Invitational" match for the WWE Divas Championship at this years WrestleMania.
Yep...they did it to the Divas once again.
Way to go WWE.

 Is Eva sizing up Nikki?

 Tamina gives AJ a patented "Snuka Look"

AJ handles it with her usual style.....

Eve and Maryse at the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame

    http://www.wwe.com/

There were a ton of wrestling superstars at the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame event before WrestleMania XXVIII.
But here is one pairing in particular that was amazing.
Talk about an "Axis of Evil".
Imagine if Maryse decided to come out of retirement and team up with Eve.
They could have a run that would make The Beautiful People and Lay-Cool look tame in comparison.
However, it's only a dream.

Snooki Wins At Wrestlemania

Well Wrestlemania XXVII is now in the books and everyone seems to be flipping out about Snooki scoring the pin in the Snooki, Trish Stratus and John Morrison versus Dolph Ziggler and LayCool with Vickie Guerrero match.

"She’s always been one to run her mouth and after her win at Wrestlemania XXVII it seems Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi can back it up."
http://celebrity-gossip.net/


"As Snooki's WWE debut proved, she didn't step into the ring just to get tossed around and pummeled"
http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/


"Snooki, captain of her high school cheerleading squad, did some athletic moves to get the victory."
http://espn.go.com/

Guys.....really?
She did two handsprings, a cartwheel and a splash.
I'm guessing maybe 50% (or more) of the readers out there could pull off the same moves with a weeks instructions.
And that's not counting the ones out there that already can.

I imagine Michelle McCool's fans are feeling the same way that I felt that night K-Fed pinned John Cena.
(No I'm not letting that go!)
The two time WWE Unified Divas Championship and two time WWE Women's Championship beaten by a four foot nine reality star, using a finishing move that Molly Holly used to use as a transition move.

Heck, why didn't they just go all out and have Snooki take out Michelle with "The People's Elbow" or "The Big Leg"?

Actually "The Big Leg" would have been more fitting.

Snooki at WrestleMania...Yay

I was gonna complain about the 6-person mixed tag team match at WrestleMania XXVII with Trish Stratus, the Jersey Shore's Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and John Morrison taking on Dolph Ziggler and LayCool.
But I think that Renee Gerber over at bleacher report says all that needs to be said about that.
You can read that article here.
All I can say is that Snooki being involved in the only "Divas match" at WrestleMania makes me about as happy as when K-Fed pinned Cena on Raw that night.
And I have said that before.

How long has it been since the WWE had a real female wrestling match at a WrestleMania?
Last year at WrestleMania XXVI we had the 10-Diva tag team match with Michelle McCool, Vickie Guerrero, Alicia Fox, Layla and Maryse defeating Beth Phoenix, Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, Gail Kim and Eve Torres.

Snooki's first appearance at ...wait...that's Santina...sorry.

The year before that at WrestleMania XXV we had the 25-Diva battle royal for the Miss WrestleMania Crown that "Santina Marella" won.
At WrestleMania XXIV we had the BunnyMania Lumberjack match with Beth Phoenix and Melina (again with Santino Marella) beating Maria and Ashley.
At WrestleMania 23 we had another Lumberjill match for the WWE Women's Championship with Melina beating Ashley.
WrestleMania 22 was the Pillow Fight between Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson which Torrie won.
Before that at WrestleMania 21 in 2005, we had what could really be the last legitamate singles match at WrestleMania for the WWE Women's Championship when Trish Stratus beat Christy Hemme (with Lita).
But I think the last real singles match was back in 2004, when Victoria beat Molly Holly.
Even though the match had a "hair versus hair" gimmick, it was an actual match.
No Lumberjills, no pillows, no one in the corner, a man didn't win the match etc.

So I guess I shouldn't expect anything from the WWE this year huh?

I just keep hoping.



Snooki at WrestleMania...Yay, posted to http://beautiful-wrestling.blogspot.com/ on March 17th, 2011

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.

WWE Diva Wrestling News and Rumors

Trish is not too impressed with the WWE at the moment


A lot of WWE Diva wrestling news and rumors this time......

I'm not the only one complaining about the sorry 25 Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 25.
Evidently backstage, the WWE Divas felt the same way.
Can you blame them?

And to point out even further what a joke the Diva's " Main Event" was, look at this excerpt from an interview with Trish Stratus by the Times and Transcript...
" Since retiring, Trish has returned to TV the odd time for special occasions, but she recently turned down an offer to appear on the biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania, when it was clear WWE didn't have much planned for the divas battle royal.
She says the current state of WWE's women's division leaves a lot to be desired. Storylines, character development and in-ring action aren't really the focus."

You can read the full interview here:
http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/front/article/640688

The movie Gail Kim is in, "Royal Kill", got a limited release, and from what I understand, the film is to be avoided big time.
I haven't seen a good review of the movie yet.
I guess that's the reason it was made in 2005 and just released now.
BTW, Gail isn't the only female wrestler in the movie, Molly Holly is in it as well.
The trailer is kinda cool though, they make Gail look almost like a Terminator.
The thing about it is, the production company seems to be embracing just how awful it is and is pushing it as a cult movie.
Let's see if that works.

WWE Diva Candice Michelle is about 3 weeks away from returning to the ring full-time from her ankle injury.
And the rumor is that she wants to go to SmackDown! when she comes back.

According to former WWE Diva Victoria's MySpace blog, she is NOT going to TNA, she was just talking to the president and chairwoman of TNA Dixie Carter at a MMA event.
Victoria says she is firmly focused on her MMA career.
Hmmm...we've been swerved before.

And rumors continue that former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro may be returning to the WWE.
Again the rumor seems to be coming from Ashley herself, this time via her Twitter account.
The funny thing is...I cant find her Twitter account.....

And finally, WWE Diva Rosa Mendez is dating UFC fighter Dean Lister.
If you follow MMA, you may recognize him as the submission-grappling coach for Tito Ortiz's team on "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show.




WWE Diva Wrestling News and Rumors, posted to http://beautiful-wrestling.blogspot.com/ on 4-21-2009

25-Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania

What can I say?
What should I say?
The WWE turned the match into a farce.
I should have expected that.
Nice of them to gather all the Divas together for a match and have an ending like that.

Well at least the WWE lowered the bar enough that TNA should have no trouble hitting it.
Heck, Wrestlicious should be able to knock it out of the park now.

In case you didn't hear.....

* SPOILER SPACE**

Santino Marella won the match and is the first Miss WrestleMania.
Way to elevate the Divas WWE!
Make 'em look good at your biggest show of the year!

ATTENTION WWE DIVAS:
You can always leave the WWE and go to MMA.
At least there they won't make you fight Brock Lesnar in drag.

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.

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.

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

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....

More Diva's Battle Royal News and a TNA Sarah Stock Update

"Okay Steph, suit up, you're going out there...."

Molly Holly will not be appearing in the Diva's Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 25.
During the Wrestlemania weekend she'll be signing autographs, but she wont be working in the ring.
But at the rate Divas seem to be dropping out, WWE maybe making a call begging her to reconsider.

Debra Marshall (Debra) will not be at Wrestlemania 25 either.
Like Lita (Amy Dumas) she'll be in Houston at Booker T's charity event on April 3rd.

And I hate to say this, but it looks like WWE Hall of Famer Mae Young will be in the Battle Royal.
UPDATE: According to the WWE, the 86 year old Mae Young will NOT be in the Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 25.

I wonder why no one has asked if Stephanie McMahon will be in the Battle Royal?
She was the WWF Women's Champion at one point.......

And now SuperLuchas.net is saying that Sarah Stock (Dark Angel) is NOT going to TNA.
We know that Sarah still has several CMLL match obligations in Mexico, so it may be awhile before we know for sure anyway

Lita not at Wrestlemania?

It appears now that Lita will not be at Wrestlemania 25.
She has e-mailed fans saying that she will instead be at Booker T's Legends of Wrestling Fanfest charity event on Friday.

As MC pointed out, Sunny is rumored to be at Wrestlemania 25.

Melina, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Trish Stratus and Victoria

We didn't really get a womens match last night on WWE Raw.
We got a mixed tag team with Cryme Tyme and Melina against Glamarella and Dolph Ziggler.
Glamarella?
Really?
Are they still gonna go with that?
Anyway, Cryme Tyme and Melina won.


On Natalya's blog at wwe.com, she mentioned both Beth Phoenix and Trish Stratus....

" On another note, many of you have asked me how I feel about Trish Stratus stating she is interested in taking on myself or the Glamazon at WrestleMania. There is no doubt that facing Trish would be nothing short of amazing. Two Canadian women, fighting for everything we believe in, as true athletes would."

"I am very curious what will happen this year at Mania for the Diva's. Like Trish, I will be keeping my eye on the Glamazon, too...and knowing that the best is yet to come. She makes me want to get hungry and forget my manners! These women inspire me to exceed all of my own expectations and personal limits."

You can read the full blog here


And on the Victoria front ( I know, she's not wrestling anymore), she's going full steam ahead it looks like with her MMA training.
Hey, if Brock Lesnar can do it, why not Victoria?
I wish her luck and hope she'll turn up soon on my Female MMA blog.
At least then I can use the hundreds of pics I have of her somewhere!

Trish Stratus, WrestleMania and WWE Divas

You know as Wrestlemania 25 approaches, I keep reading more and more about former WWE Diva Trish Stratus.
So is she gonna be there or not?
I'm guessing yes.
Anyway, there is a really good interview with Trish at Slam Sports that you can read here
http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2009/02/03/8254361.html

And speaking of Wrestlemania, WWE has put up a website for it's "Legends of Wrestlemania" game.
The game will be released to coincide with the Wrestlemania 25 PPV.
But looking at the roster for the game, guess what's missing.
Yes, no female wrestlers.
No Moolah, Sherri Martel, Wendi Richter....

But I really can't blame the WWE. Their use of women's matches at Wrestlemania has been spotty at best....

WrestleMania March 31, 1985 New York, New York ,Madison Square Garden: Wendi Richter won the WWF Womens Wrestling title from Lelani Kai.
WrestleMania 2 April 7, 1986: Champion Fabulous Moolah pinned Velvet McIntyre
WrestleMania VI April 1, 1990 Toronto, Ontario SkyDome: Mixed Tag Team Match: Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire beat "The Macho King" Randy Savage and "Queen" Sherri
WrestleMania X March 20, 1994 New York, New York Madison Square Garden: Women's Title: Champion Alundra Blayze beat Lelani Kai
WrestleMania XIV March 29, 1998 Boston, Massachusetts Fleet Center: Marc Mero and Sable beat Goldust and Luna
WrestleMania XV March 28, 1999 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania First Union Center: Women's Title: Champion Sable beat Tori
WrestleMania 2000 April 2, 2000 Anaheim, California Arrowhead Pond: Terri beat The Kat
WrestleMania X-Seven April 1, 2001 Houston, Texas Reliant Astrodome: Women's Title: Chyna beat Ivory to win the title
WrestleMania X8 March 17, 2002 Toronto, Ontario SkyDome: Women's Title: Champion Jazz beat Trish Stratus and Lita
WrestleMania XIX March 30, 2003 Seattle, Washington Safeco Field: Women's Title: Trish Stratus beat Champion Victoria and Jazz to win the title
WrestleMania XX March 14, 2004 New York, New York Madison Square Garden: Women's Title: Champion Victoria beat Molly Holly. As a result, Molly lost her hair.
WrestleMania 21 April 3, 2005 Los Angeles, California Staples Center: Women's Title: Champion Trish Stratus beat Christy Hemme
WrestleMania 22 April 2, 2006 Rosemont, Illinois Allstate Arena: Women’s Title: Mickie James beat Champion Trish Stratus to win the title
WrestleMania 23 April 1, 2007 Detroit, Michigan Ford Field: Champion Melina beat Ashley Massaro

I didn't count gimmick matches, only real matches (yeah I know the mixed tag teams are kind of a gimmick), but you can see how the WWE doesn't really push women at the "The Grandest Stage of Them All"

WWE Diva Ashley Massaro Updates

Ashley Massaro took Candice’s spot at WrestleMania, since Candice was sidelined.
Ashley has potiental. Look at Candice Michelle and how far she's come.
I always thought with enough drive, Ashley could be the next Trish Stratus.
And with injuries flying in the WWE, she might get her chance if she stays healthy.
