SmackDown Redux (March 12th, 2010): The Blonde and the Brawny
It's okay to look -- SmackDown has returned to form! Hurrah! After an iffy week with not much going on last week, this week's show was infinitely better with the blonde babyfaces proving the Divas moniker to be true -- they were smart, they were sexy and oh yes, they were powerful! You'd expect little else from the Glamazon Beth Phoenix... but Tiffany? Tiffany?! I was not expecting anything out of the former ECW GM upon reading the spoilers for this week but Tiffany girl, consider my eyes op...
SmackDown Redux (March 5th, 2010): Diva Power Struggle
Who has the upper hand when you pit Beth Phoenix versus Vickie Guerrero? Looks like we're about to find out. The latest WWE Diva power struggle pits the unlikely 'Diva' Guerrero up against the Glamazon and despite their obvious mismatch in terms of wrestling ability, in all other aspects they're pretty much tit-for-tat. In kayfabe, Guerrero is the authoratative consultant GM for the SmackDown brand -- giving her the right to book matches, make decisions and even fire people. Meanwhile the Glamaz...

Rest after the cut: (more.....

SmackDown Redux (February 26th, 2010): A Modern Day Diva Screwjob
Earlier this week, WWE announced that the victim of the 'original screwjob', Wendi Richter would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April. Coincidence, then, that in the same week another Diva is the victim of a modern day screwjob. That Diva is Mickie James, a who woman who seemingly had the odds stacked against her this week on SmackDown. See the drama unfold below:
The odds didn't look good last week, when Vickie Guerrero announced that Mickie would defend her Women's Champio...
In Video: Lay-Cool Celebrate ‘Chamber’ Victory
WWE.com caught up with Michelle McCool and Layla following their big tag team win over Raw last night at Elimination Chamber. Watch below:
Michelle will challenge Mickie James for the Women's Championship on Friday's episode of SmackDown....
Elimination Chamber in Review: Longest. Tournament. EVER.
The never-ending Divas Championship tournament was stretched yet another day as despite advertising the end of the sucker, we were swerved with an interpromotional tag team bout instead. It all went down at last night's Elimination Chamber pay per view where Gail Kim and Maryse were due to go one-on-one for the vacated title. After weeks of embarassingly bad handling of this 'tournament', we were finally ready to be done with it and crown the new champion -- with care so little in supply, as...
SmackDown Redux (February 20th, 2010): A Bit of This, A Bit of That
After concentrating on a single storyline for the past few months, this week's SmackDown felt more in line with the mixed bag that we once saw on SmackDown pre-Diva Trade. There was a little bit of this mixed with a little bit of that and it just felt like WWE were trying to accomplish all too much with the Divas without any real substance to it ala a time when we had Michelle/Melina, Maria/Ziggler and Maria/Melina. It may seem cool to indulge in all of the Divas but after growing accustomed...
Layla Wants Divas Elimination Chamber Match
Six Divas locked up in the elimination chamber? Pigs would fly sooner, right? But that hasn't stop SmackDown Diva Layla from expressing her desire to see the Divas lock up in the lethal cage match. Layla told NZPWI:
* Yes, I definitely think we should see the Divas in an elimination [chamber] match and I know there are plenty of the Divas that’d love to do it.
* And maybe one day we will get the Divas out there. I would love to do it. I would do it in a heartbeat.
Interesting. Very inte...
SmackDown Redux (February 12th, 2010): Going Around in Circles
After humiliating Michelle McCool and Layla at the Royal Rumble and snaring the coveted Women's Championship on the same night, you'd think the jibes and taunts at Mickie James' expense would be over by now. Wrong. It's evident that SmackDown has hit a creative roadblock as we seem to be going around in circles with little to no new storyline progressio -- same old story. Watch this week's action below:
McCool and Layla once again tease Mickie over her weight at the crafts table where...
