Melina and Phoenix to Rumble!
: December 31st, 2008
Don’t look now but the dream and much awaited rematch between two friends is on at the Royal Rumble on January 25. Melina Perez achieved the feat when she came out on top from a Divas Battle Royal on the last edition of RAW. And Phoenix even got into it when she had a shoving match with her former best friend.
And so the stage is set folks. Melina has recovered from her injury and it looks like she is dead set in taking the gold away from Phoenix after their controversial …
Maryse Wins Divas Championship
: December 26th, 2008
This should be something that is either long overdue or unscheduled but just the same, the WWE has a new WWE Divas champion as Maryse pinned Michelle McCool on SMACKDOWN last night. Upon demand, Maria Kanellis was the special guest referee and while she seemed to call it down the middle, McCool thought otherwise.
McCool had only herself to blame. No longer did we see the usual Divas Champion of old who simply focused on the match at hand. Rather, she was more concerned on what Maria Kanellis was doing, questioning calls which eventually led …
Trish Stratus Makes Rare Appearance at RAW
: December 24th, 2008
When the WWE visited Canada, a lot of names come into mind. A large part of the wrestlers that have come and gone to the WWE originate here including that of Trish Stratus who had retired some years back. So when John Cena, who originally had Kelly Kelly to be his teammate left unceremoniously, everyone was thinking who could possibly fill in. And to the surprise of many, it was obvious which diva came from this native land and she goes by the name of Trish Stratus.
Trish, a seven-time Women’s Champion surprised everybody …
Victoria Denies Retirement Rumors
: December 22nd, 2008
Victoria (Lisa Marie Varon) has finally spoken up about the spreading gossip surrounding rumors that she is set to retire soon. Though she did not really go straight to the point, she sort of like explained the real meaning of retirement and when a person should retire.
Regardless, it seems that the nagging queries thrown at her by her fans and WWE followers on the truth of the rumor is something she wanted to get off her back. You can just imagine how irritating it is to get lots of emails asking about …
Not Maryse Again!
: December 19th, 2008
Many of the WWE fans would agree, we were hoping to see a Maria Kanellis vs. Michelle McCool storyline and match for the Divas Championship title. But now we see Maryse suddenly back in the picture?
I mean like, come on guys, this rivalry has been going on for months now and if you check the ratings, it is not even close of being interesting. What is with all the teasers of Michelle McCool shifting to a heel side and the drama unfolding between her and Maria? What were all those for?
Maryse defeated Maria in …
Trish Stratus Inspired Maria Kanellis
: December 17th, 2008
To each person there will always be a source of inspiration for wanting to accomplish so much. Maria Kanellis started her career slow, somewhat looking as if she was fine on being a sideshow for most wrestlers and a public announcer. But not until she started out her stint with PlayBoy and later on honed her skills did she gain attention in the WWE, showing vast improvement and perhaps a future shot at the Divas Championship belt currently held by Michelle McCool.
Her transformation is indeed something to behold. In fact, you may notice …
Michelle McCool Shows Sign of Heel Character
: December 15th, 2008
In a match where many of the WWE fans were treated to the Christmas getups of the divas for the scheduled 8 diva tag match, one could not help but determine who the best looking diva Santa helper was. There was the usually glamorous Maria Kanellis and the other divas like Michelle McCool, Natalya Neidhart and Victoria.
The face team won compliments of a questionable tag made by McCool on Maria. Questionable in a sense that you could see Maria holding back her disappointment for McCool trying to steal the win after all the momentum …
Bella Twins Need Improvement
: December 12th, 2008
SMACKDOWN better try to find out better matches as far as scheduling the Bella Twins is concerned. Each week or every time they appear on the show, it seems like a rerun every time, meeting Maryse and Natalya this time around. (Where was Victoria?)
Seriously, if these girls are aiming to go places or the WWE has any plans to build on their presence in the WWE it starts by making something interesting as far as the storylines are concerned. There is the usual disruptions and changing places for the Bella Twins and the matches that …
TNA Recruiting Torrie Wilson
: December 10th, 2008
With sagging ratings TNA is pulling out all the stops and this includes going after cut divas by the WWE. With that in mind, only one diva can come into play and she goes by the name of Torrie Wilson.
Now wait a minute. Isn’t Torrie officially retired? Did she not say that she cannot wrestle because of her recurring back problems? Before you go on any further, who said about Torrie Wilson wrestling? TNA needs fans and promotions and as far as Torrie is concerned, she has a lot of those. She has …
Beth Phoenix is Slammy’s Diva of the Year
: December 8th, 2008
Beth Phoenix is the 2008 Slammy’s Diva of the Year, an event that was re-introduced after years of being set aside. A lot of awards were passed with its inception and it seems ironic (or done on purpose) that the person who awarded the Glamazon the award is returning diva Melina Perez.
So put two catalysts together and you know that something is bound to give and that is exactly what happened; the two former best friends went at it, rekindling memories of a past encounter that was set aside due to an injury sustained …
