Notes on SmackDown vs Raw 2011: Tiffany, Mickie James, Lay-Cool

As revealed last night, the SmackDown vs Raw 2011 video game will feature 13 of the WWE Divas. However, one of those Divas — Women’s Champion, Layla — will only be made available in a downloadable content pack during the holiday season.

According to one of the game’s developers, Marcus Stephenson, this is due to THQ having to update her character model which meant that they couldn’t put her in the final release.

Aloisia Issues Statement on ‘Erotic Pictures’ Scandal

WWE talent, Aloisia, who was due to appear on NXT season three, has issued a statement regarding a report that she was taken off the show due to ‘erotic’ pictures of her being uncovered. A statement sent to Diva Dirt and posted on her official website reads:

An Open Letter to my Fans and Friends:

This morning I was shocked to discover that a new rumor was circulating on the Web, pertaining to my removal from the NXT cast. According to articles posted on numerous websites, I was removed from NXT due to WWE discovering “erotic photos” from my past on the Web. While no specific source is named in the articles, the implication is that this information is coming from someone within WWE. In case anyone is interested, here’s a link to the photos that supposedly got me taken off the show:

http://tallamazonseroticalindsayhayward.blogspot.com/?zx=e80ae5681047f490

I’m posting the link because the pictures are already out there, so there’s no point in trying to hide them. I find them embarrassing, not because they’re particularly “erotic”, but because I was overweight and out-of-shape when they were taken five years ago and because they’re amateurishly shot. I’m sure everyone who’s reading this has some pictures somewhere that you’d rather not have published on the Web for the whole world to see. Unfortunately, part of the price of celebrity is the fact that people dig around in your past to try to find ways to exploit you as a means of increasing their own readership.

Results & Pictures from RCW Last Night (Alissa Flash vs Mercedes Martinez)

Diva Dirt reader, Brandon, sent in the following report and pictures from last night’s RCW event in San Antonio, which was headlined by Alissa Flash vs Mercedes Martinez for the RCW Championship:

Last night’s RCW show was amazingly good. It had everything you want out of professional wrestling – straight-up pure wrestling and enjoyable segments. All the action was great, but the one thing that stood out to me more about last night’s event was the main reason I went to the show in the first place – Alissa Flash (AKA Cheerleader Melissa) vs. Mercedes Martinez!

When I found out that Mercedes is coming to RCW in my hometown, I was marking out! Like that got me sold to actually going to this event. I felt disappointed not going when Alissa Flash became RCW Champion, the first female to win the company’s top prize, showing that Alissa ain’t one to play around with, female or not. She is, pound for pound, one of the greatest women wrestlers in, not just the US, but in the world. The same can be said for Mercedes Martinez, another pound for pound athlete, and one of the women that put SHIMMER on the map with her fued with Sara Del Rey, along with Melissa’s fued with Mschif. And with these two in the same ring together, mono-on-mono, I know will expect some great stuff between the two. Now, enough praising the two, and let’s get to the action.
