What If: Krissy Vaine, Divas Championship And More

You guys ever wonder what could have been in WWE? Ever think that a few less ‘future endeavors’ would have made a difference in today’s division? Ever think of how things would be without the Diva Search? No? Well, don’t worry cause I’ve done the thinking for you. Here’s a couple of circumstances that woulda, coulda or shoulda created an alternate reality in Diva world.

What If: Krissy Vaine hadn’t left the WWE? 
 
We were all taken aback when Torrie Wilsonwas attacked by a mystery blonde after a match with Victoria. We were even more shocked to find out it was Krissy Vaine. (What happened to her?!) We got to see her one more time backstage with Vickie Guererro before she disappeared from the WWE altogether. As the story goes, Krissy asked for her release when she found out that her boyfriend wouldn’t be on the same brand. 
 
Had she stuck around, I predict that Krissy would have had a long program with Torrie and maybe the Divas Title would have been introduced earlier. It was rumored that Torrie was originally supposed to be the first Divas Champ and this would have been the perfect time for her to snag some gold.

What If: There was no Divas Championship? 

Last year WWE exhibited some confidence in Smackdown’s Diva division by creating a title especially for them. Gone were the days of matches for no reason and stupid Bikini contests. WWE followed up by calling up new divas like The Bellas and drafting Maria to round out the division. From there Smackdown went on to surpass Raw when it  comes to Divas action. (In My Opinion)

I almost 100% sure that if the Divas Championship was never created, solid wrestlers like Michelle McCool and Natalyawould have found themselves lost in the shuffle on the already diva-heavy Raw. Smackdown would have become a safe haven for valets and divas who weren’t quite ready for full time competition, much like ECW.  And Gail Kim definitely would be going to Raw.

What If: WWE didn’t misuse their talent?

Oh, where to start?! It’s no secret that WWE prefers to push eye candy as opposed to Divas who are great in-ring competitors. It’s been this way from from the days of Sable and will probably never change. So many things could be different in WWE if there was more of a focus on actual wrestlers.

First off, Victoria would have had a more accomplished career. We can all agree that Victoria should have had several more title reigns. Just like her predecessors Trish, Lita and Molly Holly, Victoria bought something new to the table and deserved to be recognized for her talents.

In addition, Divas like Natalya and Jillian would have at least one title run under their belts instead of taking up Valet and Jobber duties respectively. 

That’s it for What If? this week. Submit your ideas for What If? after the break.

Extremely Natalya

Anyone who got to watch ECW last night, was probably just as surprised as I was to see everyone’s favorite third generation diva, Natalya. Last night Natalya officially debuted as a member of the ECW brand, accompanying her real life fiancee, TJ Wilson, now known as Tyson Kidd. To be honest, I don’t know I feel … Read more

It’s Official… Maybe.

Recognize this face? It’s Ashley Lane, half of the SHIMMER Tag Team Champions. It looks like she may have one more credential to add to her resume: TNA Knockout. According to TNA’s Website Ashley will be competing in her second TNA match under her new ring name, Madison Rayne.  There will be a Knockouts Gauntlet Match on “iMPACT!” … Read more

TNA Knockout Playing The Race Card?

In case any of you guys missed Impact this week, The Kongtourage had a little backstage confrontation with Jim Cornette. During the exchange Sojourner Bolt made a comment that I’m sure raised a few eyebrows. Let’s go to the footage: Fast forward to 5:22   Kongtourage Backstage I have to say, as a young man of … Read more

FCW: The Savior of the Women’s Division?

For the last few weeks, I’ve been covering FCW. More specifically, the ‘Queen of FCW’ tournament. After watching all the quarter final matches, as well as tonight’s Eve vs Michelle, I’ve come to the following conclusion: FCW is the best thing to happen to the women’s division. I don’t know what Steve Keirn and co. are doing with these ladies, … Read more

WWE Is Going Commando…

… but not not in the way you might think. Along with the rumored WWE/Playboy break-up rumors, It looks like WWE is also banning Bra and Panties Matches. I’m sure this news makes fans of T&A extremely sad and fans of actual wrestling very happy. I would love to say  that WWE made this move to … Read more

SHIMMER Spotlight: Eden Black


You know what time it is people! Really? You don’t? Well I’ll clue you in. It’s time your weekly dose of SHIMMER goodness. Every Friday, I’ll be bringing you profiles on the hard hitting ladies of SHIMMER. Everyone from the major players like MsChif to the up and coming rookies like Ashley Lane and Portia Perez. So lets get to the good stuff, guys.

Name: Eden Black

Age: 28
Aliases: ‘ The Jezebel ‘
Entrance Theme: “Pure Rock Fury” by Clutch
Finisher(s): Garden of Eden (Triangle Choke); Blaxploitation (Crucifix Powerbomb); The Eden Project (Wheelbarrow Suplex)
Accomplishments: Real Quality Wrestling Women’s Champion (1 Time)

Eden Black dresses like the boys and she plays like one too. This flame-haired  tomboy is as notorious for her distinct choice in ring gear, as she is for her smashmouth style in the ring. Actually, her punk rock style and baggy pants are reminiscent of another redheaded veteran(Take a wild guess). 

She was a smash hit in the UK, wrestling big names like Lexie Fyfe and Wesna Busic. She also advanced to the finals of the first ever ChickFight Tournament, losing to Cheerleader Melissa. After coming to a draw against Allison Danger in a title defense, Danger recruited black as a regular in SHIMMER.

Black took SHIMMER by storm, picking up wins over likes of Rain, Amber O’Neal and The Minnesota Homewrecking Crew. She was even booked in a tournament to name the first ever SHIMMER champion. Unfortunately, she was eliminated in the first round by SHIMMER veteran Lacey. her last SHIMMER match to date teamed her with Daizee Haze and MsChif to take on The International Homewrecking Crew in a winning effort.

What If?: Alicia Fox, Mickie James and Candice

You guys ever wonder what could have been in WWE? Ever think that a few less ‘future endeavors’ would have made a difference in today’s division? Ever think of how things would be without the Diva Search? No? Well, don’t worry cause I’ve done the thinking for you. Here’s a couple of circumstances that woulda, coulda or shoulda created an alternate reality in Diva world.


WHAT IF: Alicia Fox had stuck around on SmackDown?
As we all know Alicia Fox was a integral part of a major storyline last year. She was the homewrecking wedding planner in Edge and Vickie Guerrero’s broken marriage. However, after her interference at ‘The Great American Bash’, Alicia disappeared from our TV screens and reappeared on ECW a few months later.

I’m sure if Alicia had stuck with Edge on Smackdown she’d definitely be a much bigger star than she is today. Being matched with a top star would have had her ringside for plenty of main events and high profile matches. Not to mention Vickie would have done her damnest to make Alicia’s life on Smackdown a living hell. Vickie might’ve even ‘hired’ a Diva to take her out.


WHAT IF: Mickie James had debuted in her original gimmick?
If you’re as big a Mickie James fan as I am you might know that she originally debuted on Sunday Night Heat in a non-televised match. She was the manager of the current Intercontinental Champion, CM Punk and was sporting a sleazy punk rock gimmick. However management didn’t like the combo and shipped their asses back to OVW.

All I have to say is THANK GOD! That decision was the best thing to ever happen to Mickie’s career. That cheesy gimmick probably would’ve been her downfall. All most we would have seen of Mickie would’ve have been at ringside, and she if ever did get to wrestle I’m sure that WWE wouldn’t have let a lowly valet hold championship gold. Whew! I guess she dodged that bullet as she’s argubly the most popular diva in WWE today and a four- time Women’s Champion to boot.


WHAT IF: Candice hadn’t broken her collarbone?
Two years ago Candice  Michelle was on the top of the world. She was a former women’s champion, the only former Diva Search contestant to hold gold and involved in a high profile program with ‘The Glamazon’ Beth Phoenix. She was WWE’s golden girl. Then she hit a roadblock in the form of a broken clavicle. Her position in WWE has been falling ever.

Had Candice not been injured I think she would probably be the number two face on Raw behind Mickie. While she was never the best at wrestling, she was improving week by week. I’m sure if she kept on that track she could have won the belt at least one more time(as much as I hate to admit it)

Her absence from the ring and lack of training once she was healed resulted in major ring rust and a rebroken collarbone. By the time she rehealed the damage had been done. The fans stopped caring and became enamored with a fresh face in Kelly Kelly. Tough Break, Candice.

That’s it for this week, folks. However, the Reader’s Choice edition of ‘What If?’ will go online later this week, submit your suggestions after the cut:

FCW Divas To Get Golden

It looks like some lucky FCW Diva may be sporting championship gold in the near future. For those of us who don’t follow FCW, last month they began a “Queen Of FCW” tournament. Participants include some of our newest WWE Divas, as well as a few new faces. 
 
While there was never any mention of an actual title I can’t see any other reason to go through so much trouble. Maybe I’m jumping the gun a bit, but I see the winner of this tourney getting more than a crown and a pat on the back. I have my money on Angela Fong or Wesley Holiday, as they’re the only Divas that haven’t been called up yet. Here’s the brackets and the first three quarterfinal matches. 

Quarter Finals:
Angela def. Rosa Mendes 
Girl from Mexico def. Saylor James 
Alicia Fox def. Jenny Cash 
Tiffany def. Wesley Holiday

Semi Finals
Angela vs. Girl from Mexico 
Alicia Fox vs. Tiffany

Continue to watch the quarterfinal matches.

SHIMMER Spotlight: Lacey

Over the last week I’ve been hooking you guys up with the 411 on everyone’s favorite all-girl wrestling promotion, SHIMMER. I’m glad you guys are enjoying these ladies in action. Support them and buy the DVDs if you can. Now that that’s out of the way, it’s time for one last(?) SHIMMER Spotlight. 
 
Name: Lacey 
Age: 25 
Aliases: The Lovely Lacey 
Entrance Theme: “The Game” by Disturbed 
Finisher(s): TKO; Implant DDT; Lungblower
Accomplishments: FLWA Women’s Champion (1 time); MIW Women’s Champion (1 time); NWA Midwest Women’s Champion (1 time) 
Years Active: 2000 – 2008 
 
I’m about to make a statement that is really gonna piss some people off. Lacey is possibly THE best heel in women’s wrestling ever. Oh yeah, I went there. Anyone who has seen this young lady work the crowd would be hard pressed to disagree. Sure Beth Phoenix can play the powerful, dominant heel and Maryse can be the sexy snob, but no one in WWE or TNA can make people love to hate them like Lacey. 
 
Don’t let her pretty face fool you. From insulting the fans at ringside to spitting water on them (and not in the cool HHH way), Lacey encompasses what it means to be a heel. I’ve even seen her rip up some money (isn’t that illegal?) that a smart-ass fan threw at her.

SHIMMER Spotlight: Daizee Haze

I’ve gotten a few comments from you readers here at Diva Dirt. It seems you would like to see more of SHIMMER Spotlight. YAY! Ahem, so I bring to you, my friends, the second installment of SHIMMER Spotlight. 
 
Name: Daizee Haze 
Age: 25 
Aliases: The Haze, Shelirious 
Entrance Theme: “Sensi” by Long Beach Dub Allstars 
Finisher(s): Mind Trip (Snapmere Driver); Heart Punch; Yakuza Kick; Daizee Cutter (Stunner) 
Accomplishments: APW Future Legend Champion (1 time); Chickfight 6 winner; NWA Midwest Womens Champion (2 times); Ranked # 15 on PWI Female 50 last year. 
 
They say that dynamite comes in small packages. That has never been more true than in the case of Daizee Haze. Pound for pound, this flower toting phenom is one of the toughest girls in SHIMMER.
 
In the 7 years since her debut, Daizee has wrestled in Ring Of Honor, TNA and a whole mess of midwest promotions. All while spreading love with her peace-loving, pot smoking hippie gimmick. She’s even been a valet to Matt Sydal or as you may know him Evan Bourne. 
 
While she’s slight in stature, Daizee has had some of the most exciting matches in women’s wrestling. She’s gone head to head with Mickie “Moose” Knuckles, Lacey, Cheerleader Melissa aka Raisha Saeed and current Knockouts Champion, Awesome Kong.

SHIMMER Spotlight: Ashley Lane

As a frequent visitor of this site I noticed something that I found strange. A lot of you guys are not familiar with SHIMMER. For shame people. SHIMMER is the cream of the crop of women’s wrestling. Anyhoo, now that I’m an intern here at Diva Dirt, I have the chance to help you see the error of your ways(Lol, just kidding). Without further ado, I present you with what I hope to be a new staple of this site, SHIMMER Spotlight. 
 
Name: Ashley Lane 
Age: 22 
Aliases: Lexi Lane, Madison Rayne, ‘Sexi Lexi’ 
Entrance Theme: “Curse of Curves” by Cute Is What We Aim For / “Misery Business” by Paramore
Finisher: Dys-Lexi-a (Reverse STO) / Curse of Curves (with Nevaeh) (STO by Nevaeh & Yakusa Kick by Ashley)
Accomplishments: 2 time Ohio Championship Wrestling Women’s Champion ; 1 time Shimmer Tag Team Champion (with Nevaeh) – first
 
At first glance Ashley Lane may look like just another Diva Search Reject, but think again. This pint-sized dynamo is half of the SHIMMER tag champs and one of the best female wrestlers on the indy circuit today. 
 
Ashley has spent the last few years honing her craft on the circuit against accomplished wrestlers such as ODB. All her hard work paid off, as she managed to score a spot in SHIMMER, and eventually earn the tag team titles with her partner Nevaeh. 
 
If Ashley looks familiar to you its probably because she recently had her first televised match.
