I’m sure you’ve all heard of your ‘five a day’, but Diva Dirt is here to provide you with your ‘five a week’ in our Weekly 5. Join us every Sunday as we take a look back at the week gone by and highlight our top 5 moments of the week.

weekly5_5 RAW IS GAIL?
There has been a lot of talk this week about a Gail Kim heel turn and as a Diva Dirt favourite, we are extremely excited about the possibility in the coming weeks on Raw. It looks as though Maryse’s loss [to injury] could be Gail’s gain; as WWE teased tension between Gail and new Divas Champion, Mickie James on Raw.

weekly5_5 WORST. PAY PER VIEW. EVER.
Critics are calling it the worst pay per view of the decade. Wrestling Observer said it was worse than December to Dismember. Ouch! We are talking about TNA’s Victory Road pay per view last Sunday night, that saw two disappointing Knockouts matches and an equally disappointing and frankly, mind boggling title change. The PPV saw Angelina Love regain the Knockouts Championship from Victoria after just 10 days, in a match that was underwhelming for such talented workers.

Meanwhile, TNA had a bright idea to put Jenna Morasca vs Sharmell on pay per view. It was the shambles everyone expected it to be. This pay per view will ~live on in our memories~… for all the wrong reasons.

weekly5_5 DON “JERRY SPRINGER” WEST ACTS A DAMN FOOL…
Every company, it seems has that one announcer you can’t stand and want to punch in the face. For TNA, that’s Don West. So why, TNA, would you torture us even more by giving him a Jerry Springer-esque segment in which he hosted Sharmell and Jenna Morasca [plus their trainers] ahead of tonight’s Victory Road pay per view? Jerry Springer, you ain’t. Mr West’s ass-kissing of Sharmell tried to come across like The King circa-1999, but fell flat. Adding to the Jerry Springer vibe was the war of words amongst our Knockouts, something tells me Sojo Bolt in particular would fit right in on an episode of Jerry…

weekly5_5 NIKKI BELLA… IS THAT YOU, GIRL?
Oh those Bella Twins! Just when you write them off, they come back and start earning their keep… just about, anyway. Last week, the twins impressed with their mic skills and this week, Nikki Bella made a solid effort against Katie Lea on ECW. Nikki’s Gail Kim-esque running armdrag made my jaw drop. Perhaps there’s hope for them yet? My eyes have certainly opened and I’m willing to give them a fair shot.

The Weekly Top 10: 10 Rules for the Diva Mark

by

theweeklytop10

Welcome to a new feature here at Diva Dirt, the concept of which you may recognise from The Late Show with David Letterman. In every episode of The Late Show, Letterman has a satirical ‘top ten’, that combined with the recently published “20 Rules for the Diva Afterlife” gave us an idea! Check back every week for Diva Dirt’s Letterman-esque Weekly Top 10!

10 Rules for the Diva Mark

1. Pick a Diva
The first step to being a Diva mark is picking a Diva to mark for. Duh! Prime candidates are Divas with limited ring skills, zero charisma and/or a questionable past ( modeling, contest winners and porn). These flaws will make perfect targets for others to pick at, making for the perfect opportunity to unleash your marky fury.

2. Declare Your Love
Once you’ve picked your Diva, the next step is to show everyone how much you love them. Scour the message boards for any and every thread about your Diva. Leave borderline obssessive messages such as: “ZOMG! She’s the bestest diva everz!'” Make sure every other message on the thread is yours.

3. Twitter Me
If your Diva of choice has a Twitter (or any other social networking profile), use it !This is your direct line to your chosen Diva and your best chance to grab her attention. Send messages like: “You’re the like best ever!” or “What are you doing RIGHT NOW? I wish I was there =(”

If she doesn’t respond, keep trying! She can only ignore you for so long…

4. Take Her Name
Change your Twitter username to ‘BobbyKanellis4Maria’ or something similar.

5. The World Revolves Around Her
One of the mark’s most unique qualities is their uncanny ability to insert their Diva into any conversation. She is the Alpha and the Omega — no other Diva matters. Here’s a perfect example:

John: Hey did you see Mickie James’ match against Beth Phoenix?
Mark: Yeah… it was OK. You know what would have made it even better? If Candice was in it! I know she’s been out of action for a year, but she totally deserves the title. I mean, she is the best, right?

But don’t stop at wrestling conversations. Bring your favorite Diva up at the dinner table, at work or even during your biology presentation. A true mark’s work is never done.

The Weekly Roundup (May 30 – June 05, 2009) – A Week in Television

by

weeklyroundup

Welcome to Diva Dirt’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 week’s highs and lows as well as giving you the opportunity to catch up on what you’ve missed!

MAY 30th – JUNE 5th, 2009

This week has seen some solid TV efforts from WWE, an okay week for TNA and the emergence of women’s wrestling on ROH. This week saw the first time in history that Diva Dirt has covered ROH on HDNet & we’re very happy that we did…

Best Bet: My highlight of the week came from ROH, as it incorporated sister promotion, SHIMMER into it’s broadcast. I have to be honest and say I haven’t really seen much of SHIMMER or any of these girls before but I was thoroughly impressed by the triple threat match on HDNet last Saturday. If you haven’t yet seen it, check it out after the cut – it’s well worth it. I hope ROH does more “SHIMMER Lite” segments in future. (PS: I’m already preferring ROH’s production style to TNA’s rollercoaster sickness style on Impact).

Honourable Mention: Like last week, SmackDown gives us our honourable mention of the week with an outstanding six Divas tag team match.

Low Point: I felt this week’s Impact didn’t see a strong enough followup to last week’s fantastic debut of the former Victoria. Not only has she been renamed ‘Tara’, but she’s also stuck in a one minute segment from a two hour broadcast. Not a good followup at all.

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

Welcome to Diva Dirt’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 week’s highs and lows as well as giving you the opportunity to catch up on what you’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.

The Weekly Roundup (April 19 – 25, 2009) – A Week in Television

Welcome to Diva Dirt’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 week’s highs and lows as well as giving you the opportunity to catch up on what you’ve missed!

APRIL 19TH – APRIL 25TH, 2009

This week has been huge for the Divas and Knockouts, possibly the most action packed week of wrestling so far in 2009! Over the past week, we have seen all three of the major women’s titles on the line; the Women’s Championship, the Divas Championship and the Knockout Championship were all defended.

Best Bet: My standout of the week was the Women’s Championship match from Raw, as Melina successfully defended the title against rival, Beth Phoenix before moving over to SmackDown.

Close Call: Angelina Love‘s Knockout Championship victory at Lockdown was definitely a highlight of the week, as she finally captured the belt, but I personally preferred the Raw match.

Low Point: This week’s low comes from ECW’s booking of their new Diva, Natalya, as she jobs not once but twice to Hornswoggle in the same week. Pitiful.

Mane Event: Top Ten Worst Hairstyles

by


Let’s face it, it’s happened to the best of us: the good, the bad, the beautiful, and well, quite frankly, it’s just makes the ugly; bad hair days! For the most part, when there just isn’t a thing to do with your hair, you could always throw it up in a bun, wrap it in a scarf, or even hide it under a baseball cap. But when you’re a WWE Diva or a TNA Knockout, there’s just no exception to those inexcusable mane events!

Join me as I countdown the Top Ten Worst Hairstyles in the world of WWE and TNA. From Divas To Knockouts, this is a Top Ten list you wouldn’t want to be apart of. In an extended version of Diva-Dirt.Com’s Project Diva, I’ll be ranking fahion: the best and the worst! So who will be in our mane event? Can you take a guess… think you know who it is? Well, join me, shall you, and let’s talk hair…

#10 – Mickie “Don’t Call Me Melina” James – Now face this; when Mickie James made her debut, a whole load of us had to do a double take. Was that Melina that just attacked Victoria, coming to the aid of Trish Stratus? The comparisons seem to have been endless on the Internet, which only added further flames to the fire in a much publicized backstage feud between the two. Ah, the good ole days when Melina’s Internet ignorance got the best of her with a shoot blog… and Mickie’s graphic Arby’s photoshoot first surfaced. Good times, I’m telling ya. So which side did you belong to? Team Mickie or Team Melina. Regardless of your preference, caught in-between was the thought: “That’s the best she could do with hair… DEBUT night?!” She has since come so far and has done so much… but I’m still thinkin’ Arby’s.

#09 – Awesome King Kong Braids – How do I even begin with this one? I get that Kong is supposed to be some ‘monster’ wrestler and the biggest threat to Women’s Wrestling, but really? With hair like that? To me, she’s just a seemingly robust woman with a speech impediment, and a really bad case of the braids – yeah, TNA means nothing to me, I don’t watch it. A shout out to all of our Clueless fans; remember when Dionne found that strand of “cheap polyester hair” in the back of Murray’s car… yep, looks like Kong gets her ‘hair did’ with the same slut. There’s nothing intimidating about braids, in fact, nothing good about braids either – NOTHING. Kong should grow out a fro ala Macy Gray, then she’d have the rest of us running like hell like we’re in pursuit of hair relaxer. Yikes!

How to Be a Halloween Diva: Part 1

by

Halloween is just around the corner, and if you’re stuck on a costume, you’re pretty much out of luck. But if you’re willing to prance around in costume any of the other 364 days of the year and are yearning to dress as your favorite WWE Diva, check out the “costumes” we’ve assembled. Below is Part 1, with Part 2 following tomorrow:

BETH PHOENIX

Beth Phoenix has a pretty unique look – she is the Glamazon, after all. To achieve her look, you would need to focus on the basic look: slick catsuit, long blonde hair (with red accents), and the headband/tiara that’s ever-present on her forehead.

The Look:
Hair: long blonde wig, red hair extensions
Outfit: vinyl halter catsuit, black & white wingtip boots
Accessories: gold crystal tiara headband
The Act: Speak rarely, and give nearly everyone who you encounter a cold stare. A few smirks are allowed, but Beth is much of a smiler, so keep those to a minimum. Don’t forget to break out a few body-builder poses while you’re at it! Walk slow and determined, and above all: intimidate.
