After last week's moving tribute to womankind, I was bracing myself for the worst with this week's show. Surprisingly, the WWE decided to put on a straight wrestling match rather than mold the Divas action to guest GM Criss Angel's gimmick, and for that I'm grateful. But was the match anything to write home about? Let's see: Eve Torres, Gail Kim and Kelly Kelly make their way to the ring for a 6-Diva Tag Team match. I guess it's been a while since we've seen one of those, though I haven't really missed them.. Already in the ring are Maryse, Alicia ...
Tonight was a historic night for wrestling as round two of the Monday Night Wars kicked off and in grand fashion for both the Divas and Knockouts in my opinion. Both shows featured tag team action but on Impact we got a treat. With Awesome Kong basically done in TNA, the question has remained: "What's going to happen with the Knockouts Tag Team Championships?" We got our answer and in spectacular fashion. Missing in action Knockouts Taylor Wilde and Sarita returned to television to take on The Beautiful People (Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky) and the team of Angelina Love ...
She made her debut as the lip-synching popstar, Kandi Kisses on the first ever episode of Wrestlicious TakeDown this past week and she's here to tell us all about it, we catch up with the gorgeous Lizzy Valentine. We get Lizzy's reaction to the first episode, find out about her character and get her thoughts on some of the negative reaction the show has gotten. We also learn discuss Lizzy's time in TNA in 2003 as well as her one-night only return last December, plus what was it like working with WWE's Evan Bourne in Wrestling Society X? Read on ...
This week on Impact we were treated to a slight change of pace. Instead of more Tara/Daffney build-up we got a video package, backstage fight, and in-ring segment all featuring the Beautiful People and Miss Angelina Love. Ever since Angelina made her return to TNA, the Beautiful People have gone after full force and this week was no different. The backstage beatdown was pretty intense but what happened in the ring was even better. Lets get down to business. Skip to 4:46 The video package starts to play and it highlights everything that has happened between Angelina and TBP so far. We've ...
Well, now that we've gotten past that pesky Divas Championship Tournament, it's time to set the division back several years and have a good old fashioned pajama pillow fight. Of course, this is in keeping with this week's guest GMs, Cheech and Chong, not that their names are synonymous with pajamas or pillow fights. I'm just guessing the Divas sitting in a circle and passing around a bong wouldn't have been in keeping with their PG rating. But of course, the Divas looking all jailbait-y while bouncing up and down and fighting with pillows is totally PG, right? Shh.. it's ...
Michelle McCool is back with her latest photoshoot at WWE.com, “Heavensent.” Michelle is the master of catalogue poses, although it doesn’t really work in this shoot. Showing more skin than some of her past shoots, there’s definitely a contradiction between her posing and her clothing. Needless to say, I’m not a big fan of this set; though must admire her amazing toned body! Check out the photoshoot in our spankin’ new gallery by clicking here.

Next week on iMPACT!, fans will see the debut of a new TNA Knockout, who from the description seems to be acting as a “problem solver” for the Beautiful People tag team of Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. Independent worker, Mickie Knuckles will make her debut next week on the show. PWInsider.com reports that Knuckles isn’t shy about doing more gory matches (think blood and guts):
The new TNA Knockout that hit the ring during tonight’s Impact taping was IWA Mid-South star Mickie Knuckles, who was trained by Ian Rotten. She’s won the IWA Queen of the Death Match tournament in the past, so she’s not shy about doing blood and guts style bouts if TNA ever goes in that direction for the Knockouts division.
As a member of the Beautiful People, I would think she’s designed to pair off with ODB.

It’s going to be (*COUGHperoxideCOUGH*) blonde-on-blonde this week on SmackDown!, highlight below to read:
Somewhere again backstage, Cherry was getting checked over in the trainer’s room, sporting a nice bruise on her face, when Maryse walked in. Words were exchanged, and a match was up next.
Michelle McCool vs. Maryse w/ Deuce and Domino. Towards the end of the match Cherry’s music plays and she comes out to the ramp, distracting Maryse long enough for Michelle to get the submission and the win.

TERRI RUNNELS IN “TROPICAL PLEASURES”
Welcome to the start of our new summer feature – the Summer Sizzler Series! (and for those in the know, yes, I “borrowed” it from OVW 
) Today, we have Terri Runnels‘ segment from the “Tropical Pleasures” DVD from 2002. Enjoy the HQ video and stills!
Melina has yet another new WWE.com photoshoot – this time entitled “Brownout”. I know it’s a play on words (like “blackout”, but she’s wearing brown.. OMG LOL), but that name is totally giving me strange images. Anywayyysss, I’m not too keen on the look. I wasn’t a fan if the look (both the outfit and the strange updo) when she wore it on RAW two weeks ago, and I’m still not loving it. The random addition of a desk chair that I’m *convinced* is one that I had in my college dorm this past year doesn’t salvage it, either.
Also, the combo of black and brown colors kind of irks me, but that’d be the photo director’s problem. I mean, we’re talking about the geniuses that have Divas posing in front of popcorn machines and brandishing cotton candy while lounging on concrete stairs. They’re not exactly winning awards for their work.. (Click here to see the full photoshoot.)
I’ve actually been working on this for about a week or so now, but the timing to launch it seems right since the 2008 WWE Draft was announced last night on RAW. Join us tomorrow and every Wednesday until the Draft on June 23rd, for our guide to which Divas should move where in “Diva Draft.”
This week on RAW: BFFs, Melina and Jillian came to blows in the ring, Beth Phoenix watched and commentated, an “I Quit” match was announced for One Night Stand, Mickie James appeared in a pointless segment while JBL made a “subtle” escort joke and Katie Lea shined on the mic!
Thoughts & Reactions
Erin’s psychic powers yesterday predicted that Melina and Beth will face off in an “I Quit Match” while I was leaning more towards cage match or strap match, but “I Quit” works fine for me too! Beth and Melina saw some storyline advancement going into their big battle this Sunday night and gosh, is it just me or is there an air of excitement surrounding the future of the women’s division right now? Of course, WWE has tightened up and are delivering solid women’s action but to go a step further and deliver a first with this match… I’m certainly excited! I just hope that all the WWE Divas will be in the back watching this on the monitor on tenterhooks. Because for me this match marks a revolution of some-kind and that’s something that all these Divas, no matter what show they’re on should support.
I wasn’t really happy with the Melina-Jillian match, partly because just a couple of weeks ago they were BFFs. I think this is a feud they could have explored after Melina’s done with Beth. But they rushed it and it was all over in like 2-3 minutes. I do understand that there’s no other heel Divas so that would explain why they went this route. Melina is officially a face, I have always wondered what that would be like since she’s so devilish, but the fans seem to love her – note the big pop when she came out. To be a great Diva you need to be versatile as a face and a heel, Melina seems to be going in the right direction so far. Anyway, this match was a little sloppy, see the end spot before Melina hit her submission hold. Adding soundtrack to this match was Beth Phoenix on commentary, for me it didn’t work. After hearing Melina on commentary last week, I was underwhelmed by Beth, she came across really bland and boring and “textbook” like she was reading an autocue. Anyway, I cannot wait till One Night Stand!
Mickie James has been stuck on “backstage” mode in recent weeks, I guess it makes a nice change but at the same time, she is the freakin’ Women’s Champion. I guess we’re not going to get Katie vs Mickie after all *sniffle* no advancement there. Instead, Mickie gets a backstage segment with Vince and JBL. A nice subtle reference to Ashley there, I guess it was inevitable and Creative thought enough time had passed. Notice how Ashley was again, noticeably absent… not that I’m complaining. I don’t know about you but the phrase “bodily fluids” makes me cringe, it always has. Mickie is a bad actor.
From Mickie’s robotic Razzie winning performance, we get Katie Lea who is rather playful on the mic, isn’t she? Her mannerisms are very diva-ish, not Diva-Diva-ish, but like Mariah Carey diva-ish. Finally, a high profile feud and push for the Burchills. This segment came across very well, I think working will Mr. Kennedy will help give Paul the rub, while we get to see more of Katie. I was kinda hoping Mickie would run down the ramp and attack her *sigh* maybe a mixed tag team match is in our futures, though. More after the cut »
An “I Quit” Match is a type of professional wrestling match in which the only way to win is to make the opponent say the words “I quit” (usually into a microphone). Generally, whenever a wrestler knocks down his opponent with a move or inflicts a submission move, he will grab the microphone and ask the opponent to say “I quit,” and the opponent (at least early in the match) will make some kind of retort. “I Quit” matches are commonly used to settle kayfabe grudges and embarrass rivals, since saying “I Quit” is usually a sign of admitted inferiority.
And if may I brag for a moment, I suggested this match to Melanie earlier today. 
I will now be accepting money via PayPal for psychic readings..
