Beth Phoenix - Breaking WWE Divas

We all know that former WWE Diva Beth Phoenix could probably break 95% of the Divas they had on the roster when she was with the WWE.
With her amateur wrestling background and incredible strength to back it up, not may Divas would have stood a chance in a real match.
So here is Beth bringing the pain to some of the best the WWE had to offer...

 Beth punishing Kelly

 Beth bending Melina as far as she would go

 Beth pinning Layla

 Beth teaching AJ a lesson

 Beth trying to break Kaitlyn in half

Beth pinning Eve

Former WWE Diva Beth Phoenix

WWE Diva Beth Phoenix looking as good as ever.

Wrestling News and Rumors - Victoria/Tara, Jazz, Mickie James and More

Former WWE Diva, and maybe soon to be former TNA Knockout Lisa Marie Varon (Tara/Victoria) will be appearing at the Philadelphia Comic Con on June 11-13 at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
Also appearing there (among the ton of comic book and science fiction stars) will be another former WWE Diva, Jazz (Carlene Begnaud).
For more info go here:
http://www.wizardworld.com/home-pa.html

And in more convention news, former WWE Diva Mickie James will be appearing at K&S's "Heat Wave" event taking place on July 10th at the Holiday Inn in Carteret, New Jersey.
Another former WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro, will be appearing there as well.
You can get more info here:
http://www.kandswrestlefest.com/

By the way, with both Melina and Beth Phoenix out with torn ACLs maybe letting Mickie James go wasn't such a good idea.
But hey, she didn't get along with Batista so she had to go right?

Since we seem to be stuck on former WWE Divas, Trish Stratus' film Bail Enforcers is in pre-production and set for a 2011 release.

You can check out the website here:
http://www.bailenforcersmovie.com/

It may seem like most of the news here is about "former WWE Divas", but with the TNA women's division going like it is, "former TNA Knockout" may be being heard more and more in the future.
Tara leaving seems to be pretty much a given now.
If she'll go back to WWE or go ahead with MMA, I don't know.
Sarita and Taylor Wilde both are apparently WWE bound now as well.
Awesome Kong is already gone.
ODB signed a signed a multi-year deal with TNA in November of 2009, but she really doesn't seem too happy there.
And you have both Angelina Love and Daffney on the inactive roster due to injuries.

I had such high hopes for the TNA Knockout division once.....


Wrestling News and Rumors - Victoria/Tara, Jazz, Mickie James and More, posted to http://beautiful-wrestling.blogspot.com/ on May 21th, 2010.

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout News, Sept 3rd

Diva Dirt is reporting that former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall might be heading to TNA.
Why not?
Bobby's already there.
And if you haven't seen Kristal lately, head over to her website http://mykristalonline.com/ and take a look at some of her pics.
This lady has really worked on herself and is getting in fitness competition shape.
I mean she is really getting cut and ripped!

And as far as her going to TNA, check out this Tweet from her on her Twitter account:
"It was nice catching up with Lisa Marie, aka Victoria oops I mean Tara!"

The WWE seems to be trying again with their womens division.
They had not one, but two female wrestling events Monday night on Raw.

First they had an American Dream Diva Battle Royal with Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes, Jillian Hall and Alicia Fox.
Rosa Mendes, Alicia Fox and Kelly were eliminated basically 1-2-3 and that left Beth, Gail and Jillian.
Jillain?
Maybe someone at the WWE is reading my blogs....LOL
Anyway, Gail eliminated Jillian and Beth eliminated Gail.
Beth getting attention again?

So then Beth had to turn around and take on Divas Champion Mickie James in a match later.
Of course Mickie won, but it was nice to see Beth and Jillian get some air time again.
Three of the best female wrestlers the WWE has on one show?
And they actually get ring time?
I hate to say it but I'm impressed.

And here are some random Tweets from the womens wrestling world......

TNA Knockout Tara:
"Just got back from TV tapings. Very eventful two days of wrestling. I am going to take a nap and get some beauty sleep."

WWE Diva Michelle McCool:
"Bad Knee = Bike riding! Bike riding = mad respect for cyclists!!! :) All of 20 minutes kicked by butt! :)"

WWE Diva Jillian Hall:
"I want a fluffy white kitten for my birthday!"
(BTW, Jillian's Birthday is September 6th)

And is female wrestler going to Wrestlicious?
Will they be taping new shows?
From Lena Yada's Twitter:
"been out of WWE for a while now. Just waiting filming for Wrestlicious :-) "

WWE Diva Eve Torres :
"In Puerto Rico! It's so beautiful here. Napped on the beach, ocean view, warm weather, great sushi for dinner. Do it again tomorrow!"

WWE Diva Maryse:
"yayyy back in LA!!! hopefully it will be sunny today ! "

And finally the talked about replacement for Lilian Garcia, Angela Fong
"My fortune cookie today says: an interesting sports opportunity is in your near future. Mmmmmmmm I'm liking the sound of that!!! :)"

WWE Diva Updates

All WWE Diva news today...

Last night on WWE RAW they had a "Mayweather Melee" pitting Mickie James, Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim against Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox.
The gimmick here is that all the girls wore boxing gear.
Of course this was done in honor of Floyd Mayweather being on the show.
Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox won after Alicia nailed Mickie with a scissors kick.
(It was nice to see Beth in another match.)

Actually, I know it's kinda weird but I sorta liked this gimmick match.
Maybe it's because the Diva matches I used to play on my "SmackDown! vs. RAW" games were actually like this.
Despite the "boxing" theme they were actually wearing MMA gloves and (I usually try to refrain from saying this) and I actually think they looked hotter in their gimmick outfits.
I know awhile back Vince talked about leaning more towrads MMA style matches at one time.
Some of the Divas have martial arts training.
Maybe Vince was looking at how a MMA style match would go over.
After all, MMA is knocking on the WWE's door really loud.
I wonder how a MMA/Pro wrestling hybrid style would work for the WWE?


Moving on, They had a short segment with Jillian Hall and Vince where she was dressed as Marylin Monroe and doing the "Happy Birthday Mr. Preisdent " thing.
Way to use a lady with 11 years wrestling experience guys.


You can now follow Michelle McCool on Twitter.
Just go to http://twitter.com/McCoolMichelleL

And before SummerSlam, MSN did a slideshow of the WWE divas with really nice pics here:
http://tv.msn.com/wwe-divas/photo-gallery/feature/?photoidx=1

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.

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!

WWE Women's Championship, Royal Rumble Results

At the WWE Royal Rumble pay per view tonight, Melina became the new WWE Women's Wrestling Champion.
And I put up my crystal ball because Rosa Mendes didn't interfere.
Maybe we were thrown a swerve and Rosa is not what she seems.....

Anyway, this is Melina's third reign.
Lets see how long it lasts.

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 Updates: Candice Michelle, Beth Phoenix and more

Lots of updates today....



WWE Diva Candice Michelle turned 30 on Tuesday
Happy Late Birthday Candice!

Beth Phoenix showed up with WWE Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella on WWE RAW Monday Night.



Jamie Noble and Mickie James wrestled Paul Burchill and Katie Lea.
Jamie and Mickie won.
Mixed Tag Team matches are getting popular in the WWE it seems.

Candice and Kelly wrestled Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall.
Beth and Jillian won, with Beth pinning Kelly.



Layla appeared alongside William Regal.

So all in all, a pretty active Monday night for the WWE Divas.

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.

Last night on Monday Night's WWE RAW, Mickie James and Beth Phoenix

Last night on Monday Night's WWE RAW, Mickie James and Beth Phoenix

Last night on Monday Night's WWE RAW, Mickie James wrestled Beth Phoenix for the Women's Wrestling Championship. The winner of this match is to face Candice Michelle at WWE No Mercy in a Women's Title match.
The Glamazon won, so she'll face Candice.
Again I have to say " Candice Michelle vs Beth Phoenix?".
And shouldn't the match last night been Mickie against Candice for the right to face Beth? I know Mickie and Candice are both faces, but that pair would have made more sense for the right to face the Champion Beth.

WWE Diva Updates: Beth Phoenix, Trish Stratus and Candice Michelle

WWE Womens Wrestling Champion Beth Phoenix didn't break her nose on WWE Raw Monday night, it was just bloodied in her match with Kelly Kelly.



For all you Canadian readers, the Trish Stratus PR machine will be rolling Friday morning as she will be on CTV’s Canada AM promoting her new show The Stratusphere.



And finally, Candice Michelle, Batista and Shelton Benjamin are in Denver, CO for the Democratic National Convention. The WWE is really pushing the vote, and getting media coverage from CNN and others news stations.

WWE SummerSlam, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix

Last night at the WWE SummerSlam, Kofi Kingston and Mickie James took on Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella in a Winners Take All Tag Team Match.
Well Beth and Santino won.
Not really the way I'd like to see the Womens Wrestling Championship change hands, but I'm glad that Beth won.
No I'm not going off on a " Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Melina, Katie and Victoria" are the best women wrestlers the WWE has" rant again.
But if anyone got the belt, I'm glad it was someone like Beth.

WWE Diva Beth Phoenix Interview

Bill Lynch, one of the staff writers of the Charleston Gazette, posted a really good interview with WWE Diva Beth Phoenix.

" In the ring with WWE diva Beth Phoenix
By Bill Lynch
Staff writer
Live wrestling and the wrestling you see on television aren't quite the same thing, WWE RAW diva Beth Phoenix said.
"It's a completely different animal," she promised. "You get the drama, like you see on TV, but it's very interactive. Anything can happen."
Phoenix, also known as "The Glamazon," was in Charleston on Friday to promote World Wrestling Entertainment RAW's Summer Slam, tonight at the Charleston Civic Center. A legion of WWE wrestlers will battle it out in the ring. Phoenix takes on Mickie James in an effort to regain her championship title."

WWE Divas - Summer Skin

Almost all of the WWE Divas have done a photo shoot entitled "Summer Skin".
The shoot is being posted on WWE.com every Tuesday and Thursday.
The participants were Michelle McCool, Mickie James, Candice Michelle, Kelly Kelly, Jillian Hall, Maryse, Katie Lea, Victoria, Melina, Natalya Neidhart, Lena Yada, Beth Phoenix, Layla, Lilian Garcia, Eve Torres, Cherry, and Maria.
Michelle McCool's pics were the first to be posted , and you can see them at http://www.wwe.com/superstars/divas/summerskin/

Beth Phoenix - New WWE Women's Wrestling Champion

Beth Phoenix beat Candice Michelle to become the new WWE Women's Wrestling Champion last night at No Mercy.
Phoenix got the win with a fishermans suplex and became the new WWE Women's Champion.
Phoenix started crying after she won. Understandable after all the years she spent in the Indies and fighting back after several injuries in the WWE. After the match, the 5'7, 150 lb. Phoenix said tonight was the start of a new era in WWE - the Glamazon era.

WWE RAW Last Night: Beth Phoenix, Lilian Garcia, Candice Michelle

Several of the WWE Divas made appearances on WWE RAW last night, but nothing really major happened.
Beth Phoenix came out and made Lilian Garcia practice announcing Beth as the new WWE Women’s Wrestling Champion, Lilian did as Beth asked but added “assuming you can beat Candice” on the end of it.
This of course enraged Beth who grabbed Lilian by the throat, just in time for Candice Michelle to run in with the save. Candice kicked Beth out of the ring and the two women stared each other down.

Last Night on RAW: Candice Michelle and Beth Phoenix

Last night on WWE RAW, in what seems to be a continuing tradition, Candice Michelle was in a mixed tag team match with Jeff Hardy.
They faced Shelton Benjamin and Beth Phoenix.
Jeff Hardy came out to a huge reception and tossed glow sticks into the stands before Women's Wrestling champion Candice Michelle came out to a hometown reception.
Nice match, but the bottom line was that Beth gave Candice the cradle suplex for the pin and the win, giving Candice a loss in her hometown.
Good victory for Beth to give her some heat chasing the Women's Wrestling title.

WWE Diva Candice Michelle Retains her Title.

Candice Michelle retained her Women's Wrestling Championship last night at Unforgiven, over Beth Phoenix.
Again Beth came out to a huge pop from the crowd.
Not so much for Candice.
Phoenix pretty much dominated Michelle throughout the entire match with power moves.
Candice won by getting a crucifix pin on Beth,countering a Gorilla Press attempt.
Of course, after the match, they showed a shot of an infuriated Beth.
