Raw Redux – September 29, 2008
This week on Raw: Beth Phoenix regained focus after an upset loss last week, scoring a win over Kelly Kelly and Candice Michelle with her partner Jillian. Plus in intergender action, the Burchills lost to Mickie James & Jamie Noble while Layla and King William Regal looked on.
Thoughts & Reactions
After a lackluster few weeks, things were a little better this week but not enough to make me that interested in this week's Raw. I liked that Beth got an emphatic win this week, regain...

- John sent along the cover of the new issue of Power Slam magazine which features first ever WWE and TNA Women's Champion, Gail Kim on the cover. I don't think it's too hard to argue that Gail is the single hottest free agent on the market right now.
- Dani let us know that former Women's Champion, Molly Holly has opened up an eBay store selling so...
Champion vs Champion Becomes Jumberjack Match
WWE.com has changed it's match description for the Champion vs Champion match between Beth Phoenix and Michelle McCool to a Lumberjack Match, with all the other WWE Divas surrounding the ring. The match takes place this Friday night on the SmackDown All Star Kick-Off on MyNetworkTV.
Should be pretty cool, but what do you think of this latest development?...

Candice drops two spots to this week's #8 after a rather unimpressive appearance on Raw. Can the Go Daddy Girl create some sparks by winning...
Coming Soon to an Adult Shop Near You..
Jillian Hall will be back in the ring tonight, and is back on WWE.com with a new photoshoot - "Blue-tiful" This photoshoot isn't nearly as bad as her recent photoshoot flubs, but it's still frightening to see how over-worked her face looks. And what's with that dead-eye stare? If I didn't know any better, I'd think the WWE came out with a Jillian Hall blow-up doll. I'd make a sleazy pun, but I'll spare you..

Candice & Beth to Actually Wrestle Tonight
Tonight's Raw is set to be the "go home" show for this Sunday's No Mercy, and with the lack of storyline development in Beth Phoenix & Candice Michelle's feud, we've been pretty concerned with how they'll build up this Sunday's Women's Championship match. With that in mind, the following match has been announced for Raw tonight:
The WWE Diva division heats up on Raw as Women's Champion Beth Phoenix & Jillian meet Kelly Kelly & Candice - No. 1 contender to The Glamazon's gold. Can Candice ...
Mommy’s Home!
As you may have noticed, I haven't been around this weekend and things have been an ickle slow as Erin has had to hold the fort all by herself. Speaking of whom, thanks to my girl Erin for taking the brunt of the work this weekend! Reason I haven't been around is because I have horrible stomach flu, I'm feeling much better (though not completely cured) so I'm going to definitely try and catch up on some post in the next few hours!
Hope you have all been well, my loves!...
Hit or Miss?: September 21st – 27th
Welcome to Hit or Miss?! We'll be examining the week's news bits and deeming them hits or misses. For instance, did a Diva develop some backstage heat? That's a miss. What about a Knockout match receiving the highest ratings of the show? That's a hit. I'll rate each story by stars (out of 5) - more stars for a hit, less for a miss. Got it? Let's dive in..
Story #1: Ashley's gone, but not in every sense..
The upcoming video game release, "RAW vs. SmackDown 2009", has announced many of its...
Style Showdown: Friday Night Lights
Style Showdown is back - once again - with a vengeance! This is the contest where we put our favourite Divas and Knockouts up against each other, not in the ring, but in a battle of who looks better! Last time on the Style Showdown, two women who recently left their respective companies, Cherry and Gail Kim, faced off. Gail came out on top, earning 118 votes while Cherry only had 82.
This week, we have SmackDown Divas and fierce rivals Michelle McCool and Maryse. These two have consisten...
The Most Relaxing Photoshoot Ever
Layla must have been tired when it came time to take this photoshoot, "Take a Seat", because she's lounging around for most of it. Not that that's a bad thing, because girl can work it even when she's lounging in a chair. The poses are great, because Layla isn't hindered by such an obvious prop - she still mixes up her poses and keeps it interesting. Although including a random chair is strange (I know I furnish all of my stark black rooms with a single armchair..), it doesn't discourage me ...
