Eva Marie vs Cassie - WWE NXT

Well maybe I was right.
I mentioned a while back that Eva Marie was taking her wrestling seriously now and had been training with Brian Kendrick.
Well she showed up on NXT in a match against Cassie...and you know what?
She looked pretty darn good.
You may recall that wanting the fans to take them seriously is what turned Trish Stratus, Candice Michelle and Kelly Kelly into World Champions.
Well maybe this is gonna work out for Eva Marie too.

Look at that sadistic little grin on Eva Marie's face as she wrenches Cassie's arm

WWE Diva Layla is a Valet Now

WWE Diva Layla El who has been the WWE Divas Champion and the WWE Women's Champion is now the valet of Fandango.
Hey, she's only been with the WWE since 2006 and can actually wrestle.
Why not just make her eye-candy.
Right?

WWE SmackDown Results - No Divas Matches
http://www.bubblews.com/news/2963095-wwe-smackdown-results-no-divas-matches

No Really, Bring Back the WWE Women Tag Team Titles

You know a while back I mentioned that it might be time to bring back the WWE Women Tag Team Titles.
With the Bella Twins back and their feud with The Funkadactyls, now seems like as good as time as any.

Yeah the roster is still a bit thin, but that could easily be fixed by making the belts defendable anywhere, Raw, Smackdown or NXT.
That would give us matches like say The Bella Twins vs Paige and Sasha Banks on NXT for the belt.

Really the possibilities are endless and could lead to some really good cross promotion for the brands.
Plus we would get to see all the Divas in play. 

Aksana Do Over

You know, I take the summer off and everything changes.
Case in point, Aksana (Zivile Raudoniene).
You probably already know that Zivile was an IFBB Figure Pro with a very promising career before she joined the WWE.
She had racked up wins at the 2006 NPC Metropolitan, the 2006 NPC Pittsburgh, the 2007 IFBB New York Pro and the 2009 Arnold Classic before agreeing to step into the squared circle.

Zivile started out in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) under the name "Olga", but it was soon changed to Aksana.
Good thing too because with "Olga", her European background and her musculature, I was afraid they were going for a female version of Mighty Igor or Ivan Putski.



But like I said, her name was changed to Aksana and she started managing Eli Cottonwood in November of 2009.
Then in January 2010, she made her in-ring debut and actually started wrestling.
Funny thing is, that when she started wrestling, she reminded me of Trish Stratus when she first started out.



But in August of 2011, Aksana showed up on SmackDown! with the same name, but a whole new look.
She doesn't remind me of Trish anymore and if anything, I think her new look has made her way hotter.
Now the blonde haired Aksana has jet black hair with bangs and dark skin.

Here is the fairly awkward scene where she shows up....



Maybe they should stop making her act and just focus on wrestling...
Yeah right.
That'll happen.

WWE Diva News and Updates

"The Wai-In" has a two part interview posted on YouTube with former WWE Diva Trish Stratus.
Trish talks about her yoga studio, pro wrestling and more.
You can see part one here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heDM7gAnyKo

Trib.com has an article up about Torrie Wilson and her being on "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!" on NBC.
I hope she does better than Ashley Massaro did on "Survivor: China".
You can read the full article here

Speaking of Ashley, I missed her birthday on May 26th.
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!

Indy wrestler Serena Deeb is still a maybe with the WWE.
She appeared on an episode of ECW on Sci Fi, but has yet to sign a developmental contract.
Serena has worked for Shimmer and Ohio Valley Wrestling and in OVW she has held the Women's Championship six times.

And while they are trying to get one diva into the WWE another has been sidelined for nine months.
Jenny Quinn, a WWE developmental women's wrestler in Florida Championship Wrestling tore her anterior cruciate ligament and will be out rehabing it.
Jenny is known as "Fifi" and Jenny Cash in FCW.
You can keep up with Jenny at her MySpace page here.

WWE SmackDown! Diva Eve Torres is taking classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the Gracie Academy in Los Angeles, California, as are several of her fellow Divas.
You don't think the WWE read what I posted on my other blog about turning the Divas division into submission style wrestling seriously do you?
If so...where is my writers fee?
LOL

In it's "WWE Outside The Ring And More...." section, there is an article about Mickie James touring the garden of 9-year-old Sarah Lindauer.
Sarah is the latest "WWE Community Champion."

WWE Diva News and Rumors

Last night on WWE Raw, Mickie James took on Maryse in a non title bout.
Mickie got the win with a DDT.

In case you missed the match, here it is...




Evidently the WWE is not too happy with Tiffany being the GM of ECW.
There is talk of maybe putting Tommy Dreamer in the role.


Don't expect to see Candice Michelle on SmackDown anytime soon.
According to her Twitter account " In hawaii with family! Its beautiful here! Went swimming w sharks today and doing therapy in the sunshine!"
Think about it....having to do ankle theraphy isnt exactly great, but getting to do it in Hawaii?
Awesome.


The WWE has signed Indy wrestler Miss April (April Jeanette) to a developmental contract.
She had been working with National Wrestling Superstars and Women Superstars Unleashed.

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.

WWE Diva Wrestling Posters

I found these posters at PosterGods.com

It kinda struck me as strange that they had only 3 WWE Diva posters there and two of them are women that no longer wrestle for WWE.

They have a Candice Michelle.
Still wrestling, but not very much exposure.

A Torrie Wilson.
Not wrestling anymore, but running a successful clothing line.
And she is keeping her contact with her wrestling fans by making appearances.
Her next one being Booker T's "Legends of Wrestling" convention on Friday, April 3.


And an Ashley Massaro.
Although there is that rumor that Ashley may actually come back to the WWE.
WWE's head television producer Kevin Dunn used to be very big on Ashley.
One reason being that she was a WWE Diva Search winner and Kevin was the main person behind the Diva Search concept.
He was instrumental in getting her on the Survivor: China show, and possibly her "Smallville" gig.
But when Ashley got back from the Survivor show, Ashley didn't get the pop from the fans that she used to.
Some put that down to her change in appearance.
Also, some people say that she helped in the downfall of Paul London in the WWE.
Of course Ashley dated both Paul and Matt Hardy when she was in the WWE, and that might have something to do with the bad blood between Matt and Paul now.


All this attention to past Divas goes back to what I've mentioned a few times here and on my other women's wrestling blog, that sometimes the most popular ladies aren't even actively wrestling anymore.
Trish Stratus, Lita and Stacy Keibler are still very popular with fans, even after not actively competing for awhile.

WWE Diva Layla

WWE Diva Layla hasn't really done much lately except hang around William Regal.
And did they drop the "Layla London" gimmick?
I noticed on her page at WWE.com she's referred to as Layla and Layla El.
Outside of the wrestling ring, Layla, along with Beth Phoenix and Candice Michelle, appeared in the February 2009 issue of FLEX Magazine.
And I still say Layla is one of the prettiest WWE divas out there.
I just wish they'd get her some more training and get her in the ring more.
Yes I know if all the Divas actually wrestled each week they wouldn't have time for anything else.
Or the WWE would have to create another show just for all the divas, kinda like "WWE GLOW".
Which I would have no problem with......

WWE Diva Candice Michelle, Face or Heel?

WWE Diva Candice Michelle, Face or Heel?

After injuring her shoulder in 2008, then re-injuring again when she tried to return to the ring, WWE Diva Candice Michelle hasn't seen a lot of ring time.

And now that's she's back in the ring at mainly house shows, you have to wonder if the WWE writing staff really knows what to do with her.

There was talk of a possible heel turn awhile back, but that remains to be seen.

And there was also talk of Candice putting on a few pounds and looking kinda outta shape.

But I don't see any evidence of that in any photos I've seen.

So will she be drafted to SmackDown! or stay on Raw.

I'm gonna say she'll stay on the Raw flagship.

I also think a heel turn might be likely.

But Candice, even without a lot of ring time on TV, is still one of the (if not the) most recognizable WWE Divas to the general public.

So a heel turn might not be a good idea as far as image goes.

Then again, when Mickie James was a heel, everyone loved her.

The WWE's bottom line is.... which is gonna sell more tickets, Candice as a heel or face?

Personally, I think Candice as a heel is great.

And can you imagine the heat a Candice Michelle / Maryse tag team would get?

WWE Diva Victoria's Birthday!

You know I couldn't let this one go unnoticed.
Today is Former (sniff) WWE Diva Victoria's Birthday!

Yes one of the most talented Divas to grace the WWE was born on February 10, 1971 in San Bernardino, California on this date.
Of course I've made it no secret that her leaving the WWE saddened me, even though I really could understand it.
WWE missed so many good opportunities with her.
The Mickie James / Victoria tag team, both in Psycho mode would have been so great.
Or a war of the Psychos with the two going at it.
Or a Beth Phoenix / Victoria feud.
Or Victoria as Diva's champion, the modern day version of a gunslinger picking off upstarts.

But you cant change the past, you can only move forwards.
And I wish Victoria all the best!
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Melina, Beth Phoenix and Victoria's SmackDown! Send Off

Last night on WWE Monday Night Raw they actually had two womens matches.
Real ones for the most part.
But most of it was build up for the Melina / Beth Phoenix match this Sunday at the WWE Royal Rumble.

Michelle McCool said a lot of nice things about Victoria on her WWE blog.

And speaking of Victoria, you can see her farewell speech that wasn't aired Friday night on SmackDown! on WWE.Com
It's pretty sad watching her with tears in her eyes hugging Taz and JR goodbye, shaking hands with the fans and blowing kisses.
She even did the old "Psycho" move before she exited.
You can see it here.

And speaking of JR, over at his blog JRsBarBQ.com.,he seems as upset as I am at the send off the WWE gave Victoria.
After all the time she spent with the WWE. I expected something more, and I'm glad to see Good Old JR agrees with me on that.

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?

WWE Smackdown Divas Natalya, Victoria and Michelle McCool

And now for some WWE Wrestling Rumors....

There's a rumor floating around the WWE that the legendary pro wrestling faction, the Hart Foundation may actually be coming back.
If you recall, a few years ago the idea was pitched and Chris Benoit was working with some of the members getting them ready.
Slam Wrestling brought the idea back up in an interview with WWE Smackdown Diva Natalya, whose reply was "You'll just have to wait and see.".

PWinsider.com is reporting that rumors are also floating around about WWE Diva Victoria retiring and actually having given the WWE a retirement date.
I think I mentioned that back in October.
Yeah I did.
Since I'm so good at predicting the future...." VICTORIA WILL NOT RETIRE AND SHE WILL BECOME THE NEW WWE WOMEN'S WRESTLING CHAMPION!"
Let's see how that does.....

Also, WWE Diva's Women Champion Michelle McCool has stated that her "Wings of Love"(a lifting sitout double underhook facebuster) finishing move was banned by the WWE.
COOL!
A banned Diva's wrestling move!
Heck, I always thought the " Widow's Peak" looked like it could kill you.

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.

WWE Diva Candice Michelle fights back

Evidently WWE Diva Candice Michelle has heard about all the criticism about her in ring performance since her return.
But instead of getting all defensive about it, the former WWE Women's Wrestling Champion has vowed she will train harder and inprove her skills.
One, we know she can do it. Remember how much better she became in ring just before she won the title? The lady really does work to improve her ability.
Two, it's nice to see someone not get hurt and defensive over comments, but turn around and say "You know they may be right...I'll work harder."
Candice has a lot of potential. She really could be the next Trish Stratus.

WWE Diva Victoria might be thinking about retiring

WWE Diva Victoria might be thinking about retiring.
(Source:http://www.wrestlezone.com/)

She posted this on her blog:
"I have been doing my best to lay the Smackdown every Friday night. I hope everyone followed us to MyNetwork. Again, I am very thankful to have had a long and successful WWE career. Although between you and me, I think I have one more championship run left before I hang up the wrestling boots. What do you think?"

I would understand it, but I would REALLY hate to see Victoria go. I've loved her since her first psycho days. I wanted them to bring back the Psycho Victoria and team her up with the Psycho Mickie James during her " crazy" angle with Trish.
Victoria has that combination of looks, skill and attitude that makes her stand out.
But Victoria has been with the WWE since July 7, 2002 as a wrestler. I can see that the grueling schedule would get to her.
Whatever she decides I wish her well.
And if the WWE does decide to give her one last push, I hope it's a kick out the jams, full fledged head on run that gives us something to remember!

Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson helping Hurricane Ike Victims

Former WWE Divas Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson are working to help victims of Hurricane Ike.
Dawn posted on her MySpace detailing what they are doing, and here is a link to an article on WWE Daily.com filling everyone in on their efforts.

This proving once again, these women are not only beautiful on the outside.

Michelle McCool and Maryse At Unforgiven

Michelle McCool and Maryse At Unforgiven

At WWE Unforgiven it will be Michelle McCool wrestling Maryse for The Diva's Championship.
This will be Maryse's first PPV match and Michelle McCool's first Diva's Championship defense on PPV.
This will be a chance for both women to prove what they can really do in the ring.
I wish them both luck.
