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).

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.

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.

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.....

Wrestlicious

Lacey Von Erich with the "Deer Trapped in the headlights" Claw Hold.....

I mentioned before that Big Vision was thinking about a new GLOW...well it seems Jimmy Hart has done more than think about it.
The promo for his new show "Wrestlicious" looks like GLOW spun through a time warp.
Campy characters, singing, dancing, wrestling.....wow.
Yes it kinda looks like WOW too.
Can Jimmy pull this off?
Well the comments on YouTube seem to show interest in this new project.
GLOW still has a cult following out there.
They may be kinda quiet, but trust me, they are watching.
And Jimmy has an advantage over GLOW.
Their wrestlers were models, some of these ladies are wrestlers that also happen to look good.
Lizzy Valentine, Daizee Haze, Portia Perez, Daffney, Becky Bayless, Roni Jonah and Lacey Von Erich are just a few of the stars I saw on the clip which you can see here:



So how is this gonna do?
Reality is pretty ugly these days.
Maybe we "need" to see a farmer's daughter take on a vampire in a squared circle.
Maybe a headhunter wrestling a lifeguard is a good counter to the constant gloom and doom of the economy.
And add to the mix the fact that these ladies have paid their dues and really can wrestle.....

Who knows, "The Mouth of the South" may be on to something here.
