Weekend House Show Results: Melina Returns, Bellas on SmackDown

by

Weekend house show results from this past weekend, including the road return of Melina, below:

Friday, August 27th, 2010
Raw
Gail Kim, Nikki Bella & Brie Bella def. Maryse, Jillian Hall & Rosa Mendes.
The girls were allowed to wear much more revealing bathing suits than they did on Raw a few weeks back. No offense to the ladies, but it was a fairly typical Divas match. I will say this, I had a blast watching this match because it seemed like all six ladies were having fun – even the heels. (Source: TheSteelCage.net)

Saturday, August 28th, 2010
Raw
Melina def. Alicia Fox to retain the Divas Championship.
It was a decent women’s match that went about 10 minutes. (Source: ProWrestling.net)

Trish & Lita Announce Their Project Together (Detailed Live Audio Wrestling Recap)

by

Former WWE Divas, Trish Stratus and Lita appeared on Live Audio Wrestling just moments ago. Read our recap below:

They are asked what they’re up to. Trish says they’ve been talking for a while about ideas to do together. Amy says they both knew they were retiring and wanted to go out with a bang. They went to many different roadside attractions like Graceland & the Alamo. Would joke and say, “What are they going to do? Fire us?” Traded DVDs with each other, especially Mexican horror films and Mexican wrestling films. Trish says she called Lita and they’re working towards doing a wrestling movie together — an homage to Mexican wrestling films. Opportunity just came up suddenly. Lita says she wants to expose modern wrestling fans to this genre. Host says you get matches in these movies, that they’re like superhero wrestlers vs monsters. Very over the top and campy. Lots of chatter about different Mexican wrestling films. Trish says they will be the wrestling women in the movie. Made mention of a wrestling move done by an actress in Iron Man 2. Lita says the project is in very early stages.

They next take phone calls. Britney wants to wrestle, but has been told she’s too little, even though she’s about Rain’s height. Advice? Trish says things might hurt a little more but she’s not too little.

Email from Stephanie about decline in WWE women’s division, what needs to be changed in WWE to give the remaining women a chance? Lita says do some research instead of modeling. Trish says there needs to be a screening process, solid wrestling background. Make the moment yours to stand out. Look at Daffney, she’s made herself stand out. Lita says you need a boot camp like Funkin’ Dojo to see who really wants it & who doesn’t. Trish feels like the women are using wrestling as a stepping stone to something else, they need to leave if it’s not their passion. Lita thinks there should be a requirement to know wrestling history, do research/homework. Both feel very strongly about knowing wrestling history and having a solid background as a requirement.

Report, Pictures & Video from FCW in Fort Myers (August 27th, 2010)

by

Big FCW post for you… we’ve got a fan report, pictures and video footage from Friday’s FCW live event in Fort Myers. Diva Dirt reader Bobby Lea Burchill sent us the following:

Before the show, I got to meet Christina Crawford, Isis the Amazon and Ricki Vaughn (formerly known as Celeste). All three were very nice and friendly, Christina especially. As reported earlier, Isis asked if it was alright before she took pics with fans, but she was nice about it. Ricki looks really good, and she shared the ring announcing duties for the night, not doing a bad job at all. Christina looks almost identical to Alicia, just with a darker color to her hair.

Onto the show, the Divas match was the third match of the show, and it was announced as a tag match. When Ricki introduced the team of Naomi Night & Aksana, I thought they were gonna run around the ring and slap hands, etc… but they came out in full on heel mode. They scowled at fans, refused to slap hands, and posed as they walked around the ring. Not only that, but Night ditched her braids and had purple bangs. And then out came Liviana and AJ Lee, to new music (no more Trinity theme), who were faces. This had me wondering if they really are being groomed for NXT, because AJ has been changed back to a face for the show, and more boldly, Naomi didn’t have her braids, but changed it to a normal hairstyle for Divas.

Wrestling World Pays Tribute to Luna Vachon

by

It’s been nearly 24 hours since the heartbreaking news that former WWE star, Luna Vachon has passed away at the age of 48. In the last 24 hours, we’ve seen an outpouring of blogs and tweets from the wrestling world. Here’s just a selection:

WWE Hall of Famer, Jim Ross, has written his own tribute to Luna on his blog. He writes: “Luna Vachon had a unique and often times challenging life but even with the issues that she battled she had many friends who, as will I, always look back upon the good days that we shared.” Read the rest here.

Wrestling veteran, Missy Hyatt wrote: “People fail to forget what a great worker Luna could be at times. I remember Luna worked an indy show against Alicia towards the end of her career in 2007. Luna put on a brawl that was reminiscent of Bruiser Brody in the 1980s in which they tore the building apart.” Read the rest here.

Our own Allison Danger has a blog up here, also. “Luna — thank you for being a warm and wonderful person to me outside the ring. Wherever you are, I hope you are at peace. Bless you, my friend,” says Danger.

Hart Dynasty Diva, Natalya, was the first Diva to pay tribute to Luna via Twitter. She wrote: “RIP Luna Vachon… you were loved by many. My heart goes out to you.” She later added, “Yeah, I’m just so saddened- my heart goes out to Luna Vachon and her whole family. She will be missed and always remembered.”

Former Women’s Champion, Michelle McCool tweeted: “Just heard about Luna… my heart goes out to her fam & friends!”

Hall of Famer, Shawn Michaels said: “My prayers go out to the family of Luna Vachon. God bless you, Luna.”

Melina Blogs on What it Means to be a Champion

by

Divas Champion, Melina, has posted a new blog on her WWE Universe page discussing what it takes to be a champion — noting that just holding a belt doesn’t make one a ‘champion’. As always, it’s a very passionate, perhaps controversial, blog from the A-List Diva:

I am so thankful for all of the Tweets and support I have gotten regarding winning the Diva’s Championship. It’s unreal. My fifth title reign and it’s an astounding accolade. Everything in my life leading to that point in time…. the bad and good; all the hardships, all the haters who judged me with out even getting to know me & much more. On the other side I’ve been blessed to have the people that have touched my life and made that win at Summer Slam an unforgettable moment that will be treasured for the rest of my life. Thank you for that.

I have said this many of times; the title does not define me, I define the title. Many women through out wrestling history have defined the titles they fought for. Their love, desire, pride and respect gave their titles significance. These women stood for something; affected people’s lives; caused change… They are the ones that changed a piece of shiny metal into a prestigious symbol to be held by the greats.

Just because a person holds a title doesn’t make them a champion. We have seen people Forrest Gump their way to a title. Granted, a win is a win, but a champion is a champion with or without the title. To be a true champion is rare, and it can’t be faked. When a champion holds a title, they give it meaning.
