Divas Champion, Melina and her new #1 Contender, Alicia Fox have been working the house show circuit together on the current European tour and Diva Dirt reader Elle was lucky enough to attend last night’s show in Newcastle, England. Check out her detailed fan report & pictures below:
Firstly, Jillian came out as the guest ring announcer with tremendous heat (I haven’t ever been to a live before and I was like wow to that lol). She did a little skit saying she didn’t really just come to the UK to announce a Divas Title match but to sing. She ‘graced’ us with her rendition of one of Sting’s songs, now I’ve always thought when I watch the likes of Raw “Why do people exaggerate and cover their ears when she sings?”, but my god it was awfully high pitched and well awful lol. Then Melina’s music hit and she recieved a fair amount of cheers but as always still wasnt as many as the amount for the least liked babyface of the night which was primo.
Jillian’s announcement for Melina was pretty hilarious, she said: “It’s Melina… meh, she stole my tittleeeeeeeee, and shes gonna lose her title… it’s Melina.” Then it was Alicia’s turn the crowd was quite literally dead and you could even hear people just having random chit chat but I couldn’t help cheer for her ‘cos well, it’s Alicia haha. Jillian continued her lil skit: “And here is the girl who is going to take my beloved title… no not me… Alicia.” She even attempted to get a little Alicia chant going but was greeted with mass boos. Jillian ventured to ringside and had a little fight with the ref and refused to let him take the title similar to when she won on Raw, she even had a little hissy fit which the audience laughed at her for. Similar to Alica’s entrance there was practically no audience awareness for the first half of this 8 minute match. Jillian randomly shouted to Melina: “I’m gonna bite your nails off.” (Erm huh?)
Alicia seemed to take control of most of match with her usual moves such as tilt-a-whirl side walk slam, several headlocks and such . Then Melina got on the offensive but unfortunately made several very clear botches such as an armdrag which Alicia tried to cover up with a belly to belly suplex that looked awkward and Melina sadly messed up again with some move which went so wrong it was totally unclear what move she was trying to do and Alicia didn’t know what the hell to do! Melina finally got the audience on her side like I said around half way through, with that move in the corner, not sure what it’s called lol. When she did her scream in the corner before jumping on alicas body, this was followed by another scream and a facebuster and the audience went wild which was AMAZING. She got more cheers than santino and believe me he got loads. She then followed up with her Primal Scream finisher which sounded and looked awesome, great selling by Alicia as ever. Overall, apart from the few botches by Melina this was a great match — such a shame it wasn’t televised.

This just proves why WWE needs Jillian, she’s simply the best diva on the mic and she’s the only one that doesn’t make me cringe when cutting a promo or doing a backstage segment.
Melina v.s. Alicia on RAW looks pretty awful on paper, I wish Melina stops the botching and goes back to herself, we all know this ladies can work a match together, let’s just hope they get some good action.
And all heel divas [except Jillian] get no reaction, WWE doesn’t care about making their characters believable, so they’re just random bitchy girls with an attitude, most people don’t even know who Alicia and Rosa are…

Me And My friends were desperately trying to get bigger cheers and stuff for the divas last night but it just wasnt happening…. also i must add there was also a skit with Gail Kim in the audience that i forgot to add (sorry lol) and gail kim recieved quite a big pop..she basically quizzed a family on wwe then came to the ring to dance with the honey monster which was pretty random lol

If Melina embarrasses my Alicia come Monday, I’m coming at her with a pitch fork.
But all jokes aside, not sure but I think Melina’s botches are pretty much her trying to do these really flashy, gymnastic moves on bad timing. She doesn’t really need too. She still has several really good flashy moves that she does very well that could get the crowd on her side without lowering the quality a bit.

lol GO JILLIAN,she may not be the number one contender anymore,but I love that she thinks the title still belongs to her,her cheering for alicia was cute
looks like Raw divas botches continue but I hope we don’t see them on TV

and yes, Jillian is the only diva that can get great heel heat and she also has the mic skills
November 7, 2009 at 5:55 pm
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!This means Melina is starting t get her groove back.I will forever <3 Melina!

i think that makes it every match of this tour, melina’s been botching. maybe she was better off on smackdown being pre-taped? it’s a shame gail kim has been relegated to resident dancer – especially when she looks so uncomfortable doing so.
November 7, 2009 at 10:18 pm
I hope they give Alicia more moves.
November 8, 2009 at 12:12 am
i hope melina isn’t on a downward slope
maybe the move to raw upset her a little
causeing her to botch etc.
jillian is so funny i wish it was on TV

and let us not forget Gail Kim showing up with her friend and the sponsor of this whole tour the “Honey Monster” at intermission where they danced in the aisles, and then Gail asked a number of kids to answer WWE wrestling questions and awarded some prizes.
November 8, 2009 at 3:39 pm
LMAO I have this brilliant image of Gail Kim and The Honey Monster in my head… classic.

I went to the raw where Jillian won her very first title… Then Melina came back.
It was in Indianapolis,IN and boy the biggest diva pops where.
Mickie James, Melina, KellyKelly, & Gail Kim.

I went to the raw house show tonight and the match was Melina & Kelly Kelly Vs Jillian & Alicia. The match went really well and there were no botches although Kelly looked like she had been injured at the end, and she was holding her stomach. Melina and Kelly won after Melina did her split leg drop finisher on Jillian.
