  • Get It While It’s Hot: Makeover Battle Royal

    TNA, TNA Pay Per View May 12, 2008 8:11 pm 2 comments

    Here’s your chance to watch last night’s, in the words of Christian Siriano, “hot mess” of a Makeover Battle Royal. Actually, if I were you I’d skip through and just watch the ladder match and if you like seeing girls getting scalped (okay, exaggeration) then you might wanna watch Roxxi [...]

  • Fit Tips from Mickie

    WWE.com is taking part in National Women’s Health Week by offering “fit tips” from the Divas. I know we all love our Divas and respect their athleticism (well most of them, anyways), so why not take health tips from them? Mickie kicks off the week with her own advice: First, [...]

    TNA May 12, 2008 5:13 pm 3 comments

    It’s been a dark day for the TNA Knockouts, in addition to my earlier post about Sacrifice – we have read even more bad news regarding the women’s division. Remember a couple of weeks ago when Cheerleader Melissa and Daisy Haze, out of nowhere, had a match on iMPACT? Well [...]

    TNA Pay Per View May 12, 2008 10:57 am 2 comments

    TNA’s car crash of a pay per view, Sacrifice aired last night and the real losers of the night were the TNA Knockouts. It’s no secret that we here at Diva Dirt have been overly vocal about the direction of TNA’s women’s division in the past month and rightly so. [...]

    Have you ever wondered what kind of fragrances the Divas would produce? Nah, me neither, but WWE.com did a random but sort of interesting piece on hypothetical fragrances of the Superstars and Divas – you know, because the world doesn’t have enough tacky celebrity fragrances. Above are the “bottles” of [...]

    Lifting the cloud left by the sad and shocking news that Torrie Wilson was released yesterday, I can confirm that Torrie in fact asked for her release. Torrie got to bow out on her own terms and that’s something that I felt really strongly about. I can now accept the [...]

    In a bit of news that I’m not happy to report (and am posting mainly so Melanie doesn’t have to), it looks like Torrie and the WWE have parted ways after over 7 years. WWE.com provides us with the standard generic, information-less statement: WWE has come to terms on the [...]
