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.

WWE Diva - Victoria

Throughout the summer of 2007, upon her arrival at SmackDown!, Victoria entered in a feud with Torrie Wilson, which fits I guess since Torrie pretty much got Victoria started in the business.

Victoria met Torrie Wilson back in 1988, and the two worked together on the Extreme Fitness Team. The following year, Torrie signed a contract with the WCW and invited Victoria to a WCW television taping.

While visiting Torrie backstage at a WCW show, an agent asked Victoria to appear in a segment with Scott Hall. Victoria filmed the segment, which featured her sitting on Hall's lap and playing with his hair, and began considering pursuing a career in wrestling.

Also this year, Victoria entered a on-screen relationship with Kenny Dykstra.( Kenny is engaged to WWE Diva Mickie James).

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.

WWE Diva Maryse Ouellet out of spotlight?

There were plans to give Sylvan a push on SmackDown with Maryse Ouellet as his hot valet, but those plans have been completely scrapped. He makes his return to television in about six months on this week's edition of SmackDown, but things really aren't any different from the last time he was on TV. He came to the ring by himself and got squashed by Kane within a matter of seconds. He worked several dark matches with Maryse in tow over the past few weeks. It seems like the act didn't impress officials enough to give Sylvan a renewed push.

Her career continued on that year with several automotive magazine covers and features, shot by IPS Motorsports and Primedia staff.

She left the nWo to become a backstage interviewer but that didn't last very long.
Tylene then became Major Gunns, joining the Misfits In Action stable led by General Rection. She would come out in camouflaged shorts and a small white t-shirt and would strip the shirt off later in the matches revealing a camouflaged bikini top. Her most notable feuds were with The Filthy Animals manager Tygress and Miss Hancock (Stacy Keibler) . Tylene defeated Hancock at the WCW New Blood Rising Pay-Per-View on August 13, 2000 in Vancouver, British Columbia, in a mud wrestling match.

She spent some time in Lance Storm's Team Canada where Storm would not allow her to show off her body like the Misfits did. Tylene eventually turned heel and stayed with the group over returning to The Misfits.

She was released by WCW in early 2001 before it was sold to the WWF and went to Xtreme Pro Wrestling in California and became the valet for Sandman, where she feuded heavily with Lizzy Borden. Tylene retired from pro wrestling in 2002 and went back to modeling.

WWE RAW: Mickie James and Jillian Hall

Last night on WWE RAW the women's match was Mickie James and Jillian Hall.
The surprising thing to me was Jillian got a pretty clean win with a full nelson face buster. Yes, a heel with a clean win over a face. And it was quick too, blink and you would have missed it.

And the creepy look Jillian gave Lilian after the match........
