October 17, 2010June 2, 2009 by Melanie

The Weekly Roundup (May 24 – 30, 2009) – A Week in Television

June 14, 2013May 30, 2009 by Melanie

weeklyroundup

Welcome to Diva Dirtâ€™s new feature – The Weekly Roundup, a look at the week in television! From Raw, SmackDown, ECW and TNA too, we look back at the weekâ€™s highs and lows as well as giving you the opportunity to catch up on what youâ€™ve missed!

MAY 24th – MAY 30th, 2009

It’s been a positively exhausting seven days for us women’s wrestling fans! From TNA’s Sacrifice pay per view last Sunday to last night’s Friday Night SmackDown. Take a look back at the week that was, with Diva Dirt.

Best Bet: The best moment of the week had to be Victoria‘s TNA debut on Impact, this past Thursday night. We saw a rejuvenated Vicious Vixen looking better than she has in years, make quite the impact on Angelina Love (no pun intended). This moment will surely be a strong contender in the 2009 Year-End Awards.

Honourable Mention: The next top moment came from star-in-the-making, Alicia Fox who got the chance to compete in the ring with the multi-talented, three time Women’s Champion, Melina. Sure she lost, but for a young Diva, working with the champion is one hell of a rub. We predict big things for A-Fox!

Low Point: The disappointing Divas Championship scenario on Raw left a bad taste in my mouth this week. Mickie James looked to be in line for a feud with Maryse, but it now seems Kelly Kelly will get that honour.

Check out all of this weekâ€™s videos after the cut:

SmackDown Redux (May 29, 2009) – Twice as Nice

September 5, 2009May 30, 2009 by Melanie

As Raw dwindled away it’s only compelling storyline this week, SmackDown has furthered both of it’s Diva storylines. Perhaps it’s the so-called ‘lack of Superstars’ on the show that have allowed the writers to utilise all of their stars to the fullest extent (just look at Charlie Haas, talk about a new lease on life). … Read more

TNA Renames Victoria and Oh Yes, It’s Dumb…

May 28, 2009May 28, 2009 by Melanie

TNA has renamed former Women’s Champion, Victoria (real name Lisa Marie Varon) for her run with the company. And the result is stupid as fudge, if I do say so myself. Victoria is now going by the name of *cringe*… Tara. The Vicious Vixen, Tara… Nah, I don’t think so. So much second hand embarassment. … Read more

Impact Spoilers For Upcoming Shows

May 27, 2009 by Melanie

Below are spoilers for upcoming shows, dates not confirmed. If I had to guess they will be padded out over the next few weeks’ worth of shows. None of this airs this week, however:

Awesome Kong vs. “the Future Legend” Cheerleader Melissa. Kong wins following an Awesome Bomb. Crowd was redhot and 100% behind Melissa, the ovation she got was amazing. Conspicuous by her absence at ringside was Raisha Saied.

Daffney defeated Taylor Wilde. During the match, Dr Stevie & Raven come down to ringside with a kendo stick. Post match, the trio hover over Wilde & Lauren came down to help her back. Raven takes the mic and says that for 10 years people have been wanting the reunion of himself and Stevie. He says that Abyss didn’t obey doctor’s orders. – PWInsider.com

Raw Redux (May 25, 2009) – Colour Me Confused, Who Did Mickie Piss Off?

September 5, 2009May 26, 2009 by Melanie

I’m going to be real frank and kick off by saying, after last night’s monstrosity of a Raw, I have no desire or motivation to waste time writing this week’s Raw Redux. So I’m going to keep it as brief as possible. Three possible reasons last night’s Raw went the way it did: 1) In … Read more

Impact Spoilers for Thursday Night (May 28, 2009)

May 26, 2009 by Melanie

As we all know, the Vicious Vixen, Victoria makes her TNA debut this Thursday night on Impact. Find out how she does it by highlighting the text below:

Angelina Love d. Sojo Bolt in a Knockout Championship match. Cute Kip, Madison Rayne, and Velvet Sky also made their return here. After the match, Angelina got on the mic and asked Kip why he was still hanging out with them. She fired him a long time ago and only brought him back to take out Kong, which he couldn’t do. She has security force him to leave the ring. Angelina then talks about how she’s beaten Kong and how she needs someone new to face, which leads to Victoria’s entrance. She gets in the ring and takes out Madison and Velvet before hitting a crazy Widow’s Peak on Angelina. Madison and Velvet drag Angelina out of the ring and take her up the ramp while Victoria (who looked fantastic, BTW) gets on the mic. She’s accepting Angelina’s challenge.

Thoughts under the cut:

How TNA Should But Probably Won’t Use Victoria
