TNA Announces ECW-Inspired PPV: Should They Bring Back the ECW Vixens?
Always first for originality, TNA's next pay per view -- Hard Justice -- has been renamed Hardcore Justice: The Last Stand and will be a tribute show featuring many ECW originals. But of the names rumoured so far [Jerry Lynn, CW Anderson etc.], there doesn't seem to be any women from the original ECW. Hmm, just an oversight I'm sure...
To help out Dixie and co., here's our guide to the four women we'd like to see:
Beulah
Hardcore history: Making her ECW debut in 1995, Beulah was introdu...
ECW Diva Heading to SmackDown
With ECW singing it's final swansong last night [unless it's resurrected and bastardised again], the three Divas of the show are now set to be moved around. We have learned that the current plan is for Savannah to be part of the SmackDown roster.
As reported earlier in the month, Savannah played a role at a SmackDown house show earlier this month.
No word yet on Rosa Mendes or Tiffany.
I noted that I wanted Savannah moved to SmackDown in last week's Diva Draft: Extreme Edition post so...
In Video: Rosa Mendes & Tiffany Go Hardcore for ECW Finale
In shades of the original ECW, Rosa Mendes and Tiffany managed to draw a fabulous 'E-C-Dub' chant on the final episode of ECW last night. ECW GM Tiffany seemingly decided "what the heck, it's the last night" and attacked one of her 'employees', Rosa, after she and Zack Ryder interfered in the ECW Championship main event:

As small as it may be, it's nice to see that the Divas got to have a cool part in the final episode of ECW. That was definitely a fu...
Diva Draft: Extreme Edition
We dust off 'Diva Draft' for a one-off special to tie in with the closure of ECW. The Land of Extreme will be no more in two weeks time and leaves behind quite a legacy for the Divas who've passed through its doors. No, I'm not talking about Jazz or Francine or any of those girls -- why bother when we can value such contributions as Kelly's Expose or Extreme Expose?
But for the three Divas remaining on ECW, they're going to need new homes because as mentioned by ECW Champion, Christian on R...
ECW Axed, Replaced by “WWE NXT”
It has been widely reported that tonight's edition of ECW will be the last, making way for a new program called WWE NXT, aimed at showcasing developmental talent on the big stage. The new show will debut in ECW's spot on March 2nd, giving ECW three more tapings before its retirement. WrestlingNewsWorld.com says:
WWE's ECW brand will be done away with on tonight's show. The new show will be called WWE NXT (with NXT standing for Next Generation). The concept for the show is to showcase wres...
ECW: Maria Guests on ‘The Abraham Washington Show’
Newly crowned Diva of the Year, Maria dropped by ECW last night to appear on the least watched late night show of all time, 'The Abraham Washington Show'. What makes this both eerie yet funny is that we joked about Maria and the 'Abe Show' on Monday night's Post-Raw Show. Has someone been listening? Anyway, watch below:
Skip to 00:50.
Maria looked super cute here in her shimmery dress, see Maria, simple is better! I think she did a good job and came across fun. The crowd support is i...
Savannah Debuts as ECW Ring Announcer
The brand we usually overlook had a surprise dose of Diva goodness last night, as Savannah debuted as the new ring announcer for the brand.
It looks like the move will be a permanent switch after Lauren Mayhew parted ways with the company last month. Savannah had previously worked as a backstage interviewer for all of a few weeks before disappearing off screens. Prior to being called up, she had shown a lot of promise in the ring in FCW where she was the first Queen of FCW.
A waste of ...
What Should Katie Do Next?
Those of you [read: the two of you] who watched ECW last night will have noticed that WWE's resident oddball Diva, Katie Lea and brother Paul Burchill were banished from ECW after Burchill lost a 'Career vs Mask' match to The Hurricane. So where does that leave WWE's Twisted Sister and brother Paul?
Should they mosey on back to Raw? Or find pastures new on SmackDown? Either way, while they may be 'banished' from ECW... it's pretty much a promotion for both. And I'm pretty sure Katie Lea i...

Lauren Mayhew Makes Television Debut… on ECW
Looks like WWE's televised training camp, ECW has scored the services of another green newcomer in ring announcer Lauren Mayhew. Once tipped to be the new voice of SmackDown, it seems as though WWE has opted to put Lauren on the third [forgotten & least watched] brand, perhaps to avoid any flubs on the two major shows.
Surely a disappointing downgrade for Lauren, but not even Lilian Garcia started out that great. There's always a chance to be promoted back to SmackDown, once she shows pro...
