Rumble Rewind: Sable vs Luna (1999)
It's nearly time for the 2010 Royal Rumble and it's got the Diva Dirt team feeling all resminiscent! Over the next day or so, we're going to be rewinding the clock and reliving our favourite Rumble moments.
Melanie: My most memorable Rumble moment would be the 1999 event. I had just gotten into watching WWE a year prior so this was my first Rumble PPV complete with build-up on Raw etc. I had seen Rumble matches before but I'd never really watched the storylines grow to the event before this...
Saturday Supplement: What’s in a Name?
In the Saturday Supplement, the Diva Dirt team will aim to discuss a news story, a televised event or other relevant and current topics. The objective, like the average weekend newspaper, is to offer more indepth and lengthy discussion.
With last week's debut of Courtney Taylor I thought, amongst other things, how awful that name was. But let's be honest--for a girl that used to be named Wesley Holliday, you can only go "up" in the name department. That thought led me to think of how and wh...
Night of Champions: Through the Years
Night of Champions returns tonight on PPV, and is set to make a lot of unprecedented benchmarks: The first time two Divas matches have been held on one card since 2006 & also the first time the same match has appeared in two consecutive PPVs since late 2007. But the real history being made tonight is that Night of Champions marks the first time ever that both the Women's and Divas Championships have been defended on the same night.
But enough about tonight, this is about the event 'Th...
The Bash: Through the Years
Tonight, WWE holds the 6th incarnation of it's 'Bash' pay per view, a former staple of the WCW PPV calendar. Up until this year, the event had gone by the name of 'The Great American Bash', but in an effort to make the show more globally-friendly, it has been shortened to 'The Bash'.
Tonight at The Bash, the Women's Championship will be defended for only the second time at the event when Melina defends against Michelle McCool. Neither Diva is a stranger to this particular event, Melina wa...

Two More Divas Won’t Be At WrestleMania, Sunny Update
Prior to being contacted by WWE officials to appear in the Divas Battle Royal at WrestleMania, Sunny was actually scheduled to appear at the All Star Wrestling's 3rd Anniversary show. When the opportunity came up to appear in the Battle Royal, Sunny sent an e-mail to the promotion's head, Gary Damron, notifying him that she would be pulling out of the event. The e-mail she sent Mr. Damron has made it's way onto the internet, and Sunny makes an interesting point at the end of it:
Hey Gar...
Should Sable Be Inducted in the Hall of Fame?
For all of the stars that have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, you'll find but a fraction of them are women. For every ten men, there is probably about one woman. While partly, this enforces wrestling's prejudice against women, it's not entirely WWE's fault either. With women's wrestling so sparse before the Attitude era, there hasn't really been anyone to induct. And since WWE's female wrestlers became Divas, the stars we've come to know and love over the past decade or so seem all too...
Has WWE Dropped Playboy?
Partly conjecture on my part but after some deducing, I wonder if WWE hasn't dropped it's affiliation with Playboy in light of it's new family-friendly PG rating. It looks as though WWE may have ended it's long partnership with the magazine, as there hasn't been a peep of news on who will be posing in time for WrestleMania 25.
Usually the spread is shot in the October prior to the March release, however the end of 2008 went by without a word of news on which Diva may strip for the magazine. T...
