We’ve already had a great response to our casting call for a new blogger to join Diva Dirt. Like any good casting call, we have to put applicants through a rigorous audition process! So just like American Idol/The X Factor (delete as applicable), we’re going to have our candidates audition for the judges – you!
Auditionee number one is Steven, who was the first person to answer our casting call. Read Steven’s sample blog below and vote “yay” or “nay” on his blogging skills!
Well with the end of the year swiftly approaching, there’s no better time to rank our WWE Divas. While some divas have soared to new heights in 2008, others have plummeted faster than the 2008 VMA ratings. Here’s the roundup of who did and didn’t make the grade in 2008 (so far).
RAW
Mickie James – Raw’s Lil’ Firecracker
Early 2008 was a great time for Mickie James. She beat her nemesis, Beth Phoenix for Women’s Championship, was the top face on Raw, and possibly the most popular diva in the WWE. Fast Foward to the present: Mickie lost the title to the Glamazon, is lacking a solid character or feud, and is in danger of being pushed to the background by the returning Candice Michelle. Mickie could use a heel turn and a decent feud, (maybe a jealous rage against the overrated Candice?), if she’s to return to her former glory.
Grade: B+
More after the cut:
Beth Phoenix – Glamorella
The Glamazon went into 2008 golden, not only was she the most dominant diva in WWE since Chyna, but she also had the strap around her waist, and a clique (Jillian and Melina) to help her keep it there. On the Path to the present she had a fierce rivalry ex-friend Melina and a key loss to Mickie James. However she managed to reclaim the gold, and acquire a boytoy in the Unibrowed Italian, Santino Marella.
Grade: AKelly Kelly – Raw’s Rookie
Remember when we first saw Kelly step foot in the ring at December to Dismember? Yeah…, I’d rather forget too. However in 2008, the ECW diva overcome her tendencies to strip, feuded with everyone’s favorite dancing snob, Layla and made a jump over to the red brand, where her improvements in the ring can really shine. She even has a win over Beth Phoenix. Now if she could only learn how to dance.
Grade: BJillian Hall – Untapped Potential
Anyone who has seen Jillian wrestle in OVW would agree that she is one of the best female wrestlers in the WWE. But due to a combination of a poor gimmick, bad booking, and blatant favortism, Jillian has yet another bad year. Being stuck jobbing and working tag team matches for the entire year, while less talented Divas like Maria get pushed has to be frustrating. Maybe a jump to TNA is in Jillian future? At least she wouldn’t be singing.
Grade: C

This was very funny and very witty. I just wish it was longer! Steven finish the story, I really liked it
Not bad . He hit the ground running in his blog with a great theme.
I like…It was funny…He writes pretty similar like you guys so i think he would fit in diva dirt really good.
I thought it was alright. The concept was good but it was kind of boring. Same ol’ stuff we already knew just packaged in a new way.
This blog was really good
I agree with Manda, while it was a good idea it was boring and could be seen on any other site. Personally I love Diva Dirt ‘cuz almost everything you see here is original and entertaining.
Thanks for the comments guys!
I love it!
His is much better than mine.
Well it was pretty good but it’s something you can see anywhere else on the internet on a scale 0f 1 to 10 id say 5
it was ok
god knows i couldn’t do better but yeah it was funny and witty but maybe make it a bit longer
npt bad at all but need to make it longer
I thought it was a good read. Only problem is…I can see us getting tired of his blogs (sorry if that’s rude). I feel as though this is just ONE great blog…but I don’t see him keepin up with it. I still voted YAY for the blog. Let’s see more bloggers.
I liked it.
It’s decent but there writing skills arent the best.
Bit basic, you can find this stuff on the internet anywhere diva dirt needs a new person with an interesting opinion.
I dont think its a good idea to have a vote bcoz people can just spam votes for themselves which means its not really that accurate, just post the blogs we’ll comment and you make the final decision.
The voting won’t be the be all and end all. Erin and I will make the final decision, considering the votes in the process.
Can I change my vote? Steven’s is definitely the best written piece so far. I actually really do want to read more.
This is a plain, everyday diva blog, you can find it anywhere on the internet. Plus wth is with the grade?
