Raw Redux (March 8th, 2010): All About Eve
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 hav...

In Pictures: Divas Pajama Party
Just when you thought it was okay to stop covering your eyes after Monday's 'Pajama Pillowfight' trainwreck, here's a blistering reminder.
Personally, I find the whole gimmick photoshoot, and the segment on Raw itself, creepy. It sexualises things that are associated with young girls and blurs the boundaries of what's appropriate for supposedly PG viewing.
Nonetheless, you can check out all the pictures here. Who had the best pictures and pajamas? Vote below.

In Video: WWE Releases Video Packages on Maryse & Mickie James
Following yesterday's awesome 'History of the Divas' clip, WWE has released today two individual video packages: one dedicated to Divas Champ, Maryse and the other to mainstay Mickie James.
WWE has really been doing a great job with all the Diva love on their website in the past couple of days. If only they could put that same attention into their shows.
Watch the packages below:
Mickie after the cut: (more...)...
Raw Redux (March 1st, 2010): Welcome to Women’s History Month, Folks
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 whil...
Raw Redux (Feb. 22nd, 2010) – What Took You So Long?
The bait and switch pulled at the Elimination Chamber PPV led many of us to believe that the WWE had bigger plans for the Divas Championship tournament finals. Perhaps a lengthier feud to build up such an important match? No, as it turns out, because they finally decided to have the match on a regular old ordinary episode of Raw. Watch the match below and see if it was worth all the wait:
It definitely surprised me when the Divas Championship logo passed over the screen. But I think, ...
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...
Divas Championship Match Postponed
The scheduled Divas Championship match between Gail Kim and Maryse tonight was 'postponed' by SmackDown consultant, Vickie Guerrero. Guerrero changed the match to an interpromotional tag team match with the two rivals facing Michelle McCool and Layla as a result of Maryse's 'disparaging comments' against the SmackDown Divas in recent weeks.
Maryse showed her true colours, not tagging in and allowing Gail to be beaten by Lay-Cool. Afterwards, Maryse hit her French Kiss DDT on an already fa...
PPV Predictions: Elimination Chamber 2010
Tonight, we crown a new Divas Champion after the title has been vacated for the past two months. Who will it be? Gail Kim or Maryse? The Diva Dirt writers weigh in:
Cryssi: Last time we did this, I sat there and listed all the reasons why I thought Maryse would win, and then picked Gail Kim. I still believe in everything I said, so I stand by my prediction of Gail Kim winning. Someone's got to against the popular vote so it may as well be me! Go Gail go!
Erin: The WWE doesn't seem to car...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Feb. 18th, 2010): Last Ditch Effort
Any sort of buildup to this Sunday's Divas Championship match was noticeably absent from Monday's Raw, but never fear! The WWE hasn't completely forgotten about this match, for this week on WWE Superstars, Gail Kim tries to build some momentum going into the big match in taking on Katie Lea. Watch the match below:
Katie Lea takes control out of the tie-up, twisting Gail's arm behind her back. Gail gets out of the hold by hitting a snapmare, then rolls Katie into a crucifix pin. Katie ...
