WWE Divas » 2007 » 2007 » January

A number of WWE Divas are doing a lot of things post “retirement” or after they have left the WWE. These lady wrestlers are attempting to parlay their fame in the wrestling world into more mainstream popularity in other entertainment fields. This is actually quite a logical and understandable move for them. One cannot really rely on wrestling as a long term career – not everyone can be like the Great Moolah, Mae Young or Rick Flair, wrestlers who have really grown old in the ring and, in the case of Flair, has actually managed …

Trish Stratus may have retired from the WWE last year but that does not mean she has already been forgotten by her many fans or that she will stop being a WWE Diva to the eyes of the millions of wrestling fans all over the world.Trish has been quite busy ever since her retirement from professional wrestling. Your mental pictures of her just relaxing in her house, eating her favorite junk food while watching movies is so far away from what she is doing.

In fact, Trish starred and appeared in a new reality show called Armed …

In previous blog entries I have always questioned the WWE’s plans, or apparent lack thereof, for WWE Diva Search winner Layla El. I found this quite unfortunate because Layla has a great personality that is quite perfect for the wrestling world. She is perky, very optimistic looking and quite a firecracker when in front of the cameras – that is on top of the fact that she is very, very sexy and is quite sultry, which is another important qualification of being a diva.I have noticed that over the last few weeks, it looked like the …

In my last blog entry I talked about the latest addition to the WWE Diva roster in the person of Maryse Ouellet. Maryse was a contestant in the last WWE Diva Search contest – the one that Layla El won. She is being given a very big push by WWE Management what with the taped promos that has been airing in Smackdown the past few weeks. She is now in Ohio Valley Wrestling undergoing training to become a wrestler and she will be appearing soon in one of the future episodes of Smackdown. I am actually …

The WWE Diva Search has been a goldmine for the company in finding fresh new faces that can become potential divas. The contest itself is not just a big opportunity for the winner, who is guaranteed a contract with the company. It is also a great stepping stone for the contestants themselves. It has been proven in the past Diva searches that the company is willing to take even the contestants and turn them into Divas too. For example, Maria, Candice Michelle, Kristal and Michelle McCool were former contestants but are now full fledged Divas – in fact, they have …

Many fans of Lita (Amy Dumas) feared when she announced her retirement that she would fade into obscurity as evidenced by some of the former WWE Divas that left the WWE to either retire, pursue other career options or not renewed their contract. For example, Beulah has been quite scarce ever since she left TV. She was quite popular during her heyday but now only the more hardcore wrestling fans remember her.But it looks like those fears are unfounded after all. It seems that Lita has become a lot more visible in the wrestling scene (and …

WWE Diva Lita (Amy Dumas) shocked many wrestling fans when she announced that she was going to retire last December. This announcement came about a few weeks after Diva Trish Stratus also announced her retirement and made her last match for the WWE.I have discussed at length some of the reasons Lita cited for her very early retirement from wrestling. One of the main reasons (and probably the biggest one) was the kind of heat she received from fans when they discovered that she was having an affair with fellow wrestler Edge (Adam Copeland) who is …

Triple H suffered an injury during the match of D-generation X against Rated RKO (that is, the heel duo of Edge and Randy Orton) during the New Year’s Revolution Pay Per View. Trips actually suffered a torn quadriceps, the same injury he suffered a few years back that eventually sidelined him for almost a year. This was a painful injury and Triple H got the attention of the fans when he first suffered the injury because he finished the match despite the excruciating pain.Triple H’s wife Stephanie McMahon was actually backstage when he suffered the injury …

The Tribute to The Troops has become a yearly tradition for the WWE. If I am not mistaken this is already the fourth time the WWE wrestlers have visited US troops stationed abroad (they have visited both Iraq and Afghanistan in different years). This brainchild of John Bradshaw Layfield has proved to be one of the most popular and sought after tours of the company and they are doing it out of a sense of patriotism and love for the troops who are serving and risking their lives for their countrymen.Lillian Garcia is already a veteran …

Stephanie McMahon is really beginning to ease into her role as one of the heirs of the WWE organization. She is doing good work in her role as vice president and her involvement with the writing and character and plot development has also brought a new freshness to both the way plots are developed but also in the talents that are being presented to the WWE management.Stephanie is fast becoming one of the most powerful people in the wrestling industry and she well knows it. She is now using that power to bring talents their much …
