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

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"

Brooke Hogan Wrestling?

" Let me tell you something sister! "

Okay, I know she's not a female wrestler.
But there's a rumor that Brooke Hogan may actually wrestle Ric Flair's son, Reid Flair, in a circus tent after the last show of the day by Circus Hollywood at the Florida State Fair. She's going to be there shooting an episode of her VH1 show "Brooke Knows Best".
Brooke?
Wrestling?
Well, she's got the genes, she's got the build.
And she has hinted at possibly wrestling before in an interview.
Could we see Hulkamania running wild in the Women's Wrestling division of the WWE?
Who knows? But it got my imagination going.......
Imagine Brooke debuting in the WWE (after extensive training by her dad of course) as a face.
Good little Brooke has a few matches and loses.
Then one night her father accompanies her to ring side and during the course of the match "accidentally" interferes giving Brooke the win.
The next week it happens again, but this time more flagrant and then everyone sees the heel turn.
Brooke as a female version of the nWo Hogan.
But it doesn't stop there.
Remember back at Starrcade in 1997, when Bret Hart accused referee Nick Patrick of fast-counting for Hogan in the Sting / Hogan WCW World Heavyweight Championship match?
Remember the match restarted with Hart as the ref and Sting won?
Well the WWE could spin that into a "Hollywood Brooke Hogan" feud with Bret Hart's real life niece, Natalya.
Imagine a WWE PPV or even a Wrestlemania with "Hollywood Brooke Hogan" accompanied by Hulk Hogan against Natalya seconded by Bret Hart!

And I'm STILL not writing for the WWE.......

Last Night on WWE RAW, Jillian Hall and Candice Michelle

Last Night on WWE RAW, Jillian Hall and Candice Michelle

Candice Michelle took on Jillian Hall last night in what I hate to say was a very lackluster wrestling match.
I hate to say lackluster because Candice versus Beth Phoenix is the women's event at WWE No Mercy.
Candice still doesn't look 100 percent, although she did win.



I know most wrestling writers and bloggers don't take the womens wrestling divisions seriously. But as you can see from the number of blogs I do, I take it seriously. I dont want to see the Women's Wrestling title match become a snooze fest or a squash.
Candice is trying and I respect that. But maybe they should have held back on her a bit and let her get the ring rust off before throwing her back with a title shot.
I personally think Mickie James versus Beth would have been a better match for No Mercy.
I still do wish Candice luck though.

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.
