Mickie James Discusses Why She Joined TNA, Comments on Brawl with Tara at Turning Point

It was perhaps the biggest acquisition ever made for the Knockouts division when Mickie James signed with the company a couple of months ago. Speaking for the first time on her official website, Mickie discusses why she joined TNA.

Read below:

I think a lot of people know (TNA President) Dixie Carter attended my CD release party in Nashville in May, so we were talking. I was entertaining the move for a while. I think what made it click was working an independent gig where friends of mine were there. It made me remember why I got in wrestling in the first place. It was my genuine love for wrestling. I think sometimes it becomes a business and you forget the important details. Now I feel like I have a renewed spirit. I remember why I got into the business and it’s that love. I know that Dixie is behind me 100% with the music too. We’re going to try to work both of the schedules together. One hand feeds the other. She gets that. She wants me to be successful and to pursue music or acting if I so choose. She knows I’m representing TNA with everything that I do. That’s not a liberty that you often have in any business. I think that’s a really cool thing. It gives everybody power over their own destiny. It allows you to go after your dreams and do what you want to do. You’re still an individual.

James also discussed her big match/brawl with Tara this past Sunday:

Complete Results from WSU’s Second Taping on Saturday

As well as the live iPPV (results here), WSU taped a second show afterwards which will be distributed on iPPV and DVD at a later date. Complete results from the second taping below courtesy of WSU.

Angel Orsini came out to talk about making her All Guts No Glory Championship the biggest prize in WSU. Orsini said she’d take on anyone. The Cosmo Club came out. Brittney Savage, who has been trying to recruit Orsini for the Cosmo Club since April 2010, said that if any member of the Cosmo Club could defeat Orsini, then not only was the AGNG Championship hers, but Orsini would have to join the Cosmo Club. Orsini accepted.

MATCH ONE
For the WSU All Guts, No Glory Championship vs Forced To Join Cosmo Club
Angel Orsini d. Rick Cataldo in 10 seconds
Angel Orsini d. Cindy Rogers
Angel Orsini d. Jana
Angel Orsini d. Melissa Coates via tapout

Angel made it clear that these were 5 more victims, and said she would wipe out everyone in WSU until there was no one left until WSU was forced to rescind the Ironwoman stipulation and finally give her a WSU World Title match.

Live Coverage of WSU’s iPPV (November 6th, 2010): Mercedes Martinez vs Jazz, Homicide’s Challenge, Alicia vs Angel Orsini, Serena, ODB & More

Diva Dirt presents live play-by-play from WSU’s Internet pay per view taking place live from the ACE Arena in New Jersey. The show begins at 5.30pm ET and can be viewed via GoFightLive.tv. Stay tuned for a full report (and sarcastic opinion) from the pay per view.

Show begins with ring announcer Destiny announcing that we are live for WSU on iPPV!

Our opening segment will be an award ceremony with Mercedes Martinez (who ranked #3 on the PWI Female 50) being honored by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

But before that can happen — Homicide’s music hits in the arena. After what seems like the longest minute ever, he finally comes out and hits the ring.

Homicide takes the microphone (which is super quiet by the way, so I’ll do the best I can). He says he wants all the women to come out to the ring. The entire roster makes their way down to ringside and surrounds the ring. Homicide exchanges words with Amy Lee at ringside. Mercedes Martinez’s music hits now and she makes her way down to the ring.

Homicide addresses Mercedes and compliments WSU from what I can hear. He thanks Mercedes Martinez and the ladies at ringside for making wrestling what it should be. The Cosmo Club enter the ring and interrupt. Rick Cataldo says he’s sick and tired of Mercedes Martinez and calls her overrated. Cataldo says he has a two page spread in the latest Pro Wrestling Illustrated. He says between Martinez and Homicide, all we need in the ring is a pinata (racist much?). He says the spotlight belongs on the Cosmo Club because they are WSU. The crowd begins chanting ‘Eric Cartman’. Cataldo says if Homicide wants to come to WSU and team with real queens, they could give him a makeover. He says we should call Homicide, ‘Homo-cide’ and slaps his cap off. Homicide hits the Ace Crusher on Cataldo and the rest of the Cosmo Club quickly leave the ring.

Live Report & Pictures from SmackDown in Belfast, Ireland (Layla vs Natalya)

Diva Dirt reader, Hayley sent in the following results and pictures from last night’s SmackDown house show in Belfast, Ireland that saw Layla take on Natalya. Read her report below:

Before the intermission, Kelly Kelly was announced as the guest hostess and she came out to a rather big pop from the Belfast crowd. Tony Chimel then proceeded to bring out Hornswoggle and then gave them t-shirts that were on sale at the merchandise stores around the arena and had them hold them up and model them. Kelly and Hornswoggle then proceeded to throw some t-shirts and wristbands into the crowd before they left the ring.

After the intermission there was then a Divas match and I was like FINALLY!! I have heard reports on how usually during the Diva matches people get up to go to the restroom or concession stand but I honestly didn’t see many people leaving which put me in a great mood. I was right beside the entrance where they come out so I was listening really carefully, and then I heard, “You’re not enough for me!” and everyone started booing, I didn’t really want to boo so I smiled and sang along, while Layla came out. She was wearing her usual ring attire and she had brought out a big white exercise ball which she kicked down the ramp and shouted at people saying not to touch it, she then threw it into the ring and proceeded to pose on the turnbuckles while some type of chant went up.
