Diva Dirt LIVE returns tonight at 11pm ET with a post-WrestleMania special. We’ll be discussing all the action from tonight’s big extravaganza and take your calls on the show too! Call in on 347-989-8156. DIVA-DIRT.COM/LIVE LIVE FROM AT 11.15PM ET
Some more exclusive snaps from Axxess this past week sent in by David.
As previously noted, Wendi Richter was at Axxess yesterday signing autographs and looked fantastic. David noted that was incredibly personable.
Also at Axxess yesterday was none other than Snooki, signing copies of her New York Times bestselling book. (Seriously! She’s a bestseller!)
Former WWE Women’s Champion, Amy ‘Lita’ Dumas announced on Twitter that she will be at WrestleMania 27 Fan Axxess today.
She wrote: “Headed over to the Georgia Dome for Fan Axxcess to broadcast live with Project 96-1 WKLS. Come find me!”
Dumas lives in Atlanta, but up until now hadn’t been announced for any WWE events. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amy is at the Hall of Fame tonight or backstage at ‘Mania tomorrow.
Perhaps also interestingly, Trish Stratus mentioned in our interview that she’s working on doing something very cool this coming Monday on Raw. Pure speculation on my part, but Trish & Lita vs Lay-Cool would certainly fit the bill!
Perhaps one of the most memorable moments in WrestleMania Diva history… who can forget Molly Holly having her head shaved bald in 2004? Relive it below:
Diva Dirt’s Mr Glamazon brings us her exclusive daily blog detailing her adventures in Atlanta for WrestleMania 27 this weekend. Check back each day for a new entry! Note from Melanie: Unfortunately, David was unable to write his blog today, but did send along the following pictures from yesterday’s Axxess event! [nggallery id=475]
WWE’s annual Axxess convention kicked off yesterday in Atlanta and continuing our access-all-areas (pardon the pun) coverage of WrestleMania 27, we snapped a few pictures from the day’s events.
Appearing at Axxess yesterday were the likes of Kaitlyn, Gail Kim, Rosa Mendes, Lay-Cool, Vickie Guerrero and more!
Check out a selection of pictures from Day 1 of Axxess below:
Fans at WrestleMania Axxess this weekend are being treated to a display of Trish Stratus’ greatest hits — well, outfits — in the memorabilia section of the convention.
Several outfits from Trish’s WWE heyday are on display. Diva Dirt has exclusive photos and an exclusive video tour! Check it out below.
Also, you can hear Trish talking about the Axxess display and how/why she chose the outfits in our interview with her from earlier this week.
It’s been five years since Trish Stratus last competed at WrestleMania. This weekend she makes her return, but today we take a look back at her last appearance.
It was the feud that captivated fans and is highly regarded as one of the best Diva storylines of all time. For months, Mickie James tried to woo Trish — before deciding she’d rather take her down instead. It all culminated at WrestleMania 22 in 2006…
Part two:
Tonight is the night!
We are inviting our visitors in Atlanta this weekend to join us for a night of fun with fellow women’s wrestling fans!

I admit I stress about it too much. What am I going to wear? What tie should I pick out? Did I wear this color last year? It basically takes me a few weeks to make a decision. This year I even jumped on eBay and bought a new pocket square… you know in case I wanted to go with a pocket square (what am I, 60?) I hang the suit in my closet and try all sorts of color combinations. Finally I settle on an outfit, until I change my mind a few days later. It’s exhausting.
But it’s all worth it because the WrestleMania Art Show is one of my favorite nights of the year. I had such a good time the past few years that now I have really high hopes. So yeah I go overboard but when a normal night is sitting on our couch, watching American Idol, and drinking a bottle of cheap wine, well, you tend to get really excited for these things. (I truly wish we had 4 more kids, 2 just isn’t enough work…)
So I finally put it all together: black suit, blue striped shirt, black and blue tie. Perfect.
WrestleMania festivities officially kicked off in Atlanta last night with the annual WrestleMania Art charity event — and what would a red carpet event be without some Divas?
There was plenty of flower power on show as Natalya and Beth Phoenix both opted for frilly frocks. Meanwhile, Alicia Fox is spotted all smiles in a black number.
It’s been a busy couple of months for the legendary 7-time Women’s Champ, Trish Stratus. She’s back in the WWE fold with the USA Network revival of Tough Enough, she’s going to WrestleMania this Sunday, has a movie premiering in one week and is on the cover of Oxygen magazine! With so much going on in the Stratusphere, we decided to give the Diva Dirt Legacy Award winner a call and discuss!
WWE has released video footage of the press conference earlier today. Watch below:

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the WWE Art Show is the best event of the year for wrestling fans. You may not believe me but here’s the deal. It is the first event of the week so a lot of fans aren’t in town yet. It is nice and intimate. The food is great. The drinks are flowing. The art is interesting (and for sale). The WWE stars are relaxed and just hanging around. If you want to meet one of your favorite stars, trust me, the Art Show is the way to go. The Axxess sessions are a lot of fun too, but there are a ton of people there, the lines are long, and you only get a brief moment with the star. Tonight will be my third Art Show and if it’s anything like the first two, I’m going to have a blast.
Two years ago it was all about Beth.
It was all about meeting Beth and thanking her for being such an inspiration. Thanking her for being a great role model. Thanking her for the Glamasuits, the tiaras, the Glam Slam…everything. (And um, I do find her kind of attractive…so that’s nice too.)
WWE celebrity guest star, Snooki and Stephanie McMahon took the stage earlier today in New York for one last press conference before Sunday’s WrestleMania event. Snooki sported a ‘Brunette Mafia’ t-shirt (more on the origins of that name in our interview with Trish) and posed with the likes of The Rock and John Cena. According … Read more
WWE has announced a huge six person tag team match for WrestleMania 27 on April 3rd.
Lay-Cool and Dolph Ziggler will team up to take on the team of John Morrison, Diva legend Trish Stratus and Jersey Shore star Snooki!
WWE sent out the following press release regarding Snooki’s appearance:
In the words of Ke$ha: “We are taking over!” Diva Dirt is coming to Hotlanta for WrestleMania 27 and we are inviting all of our fellow ‘Mania-goers to join us!
With so many fans heading to Atlanta, we thought we’d unite the visitors of Diva Dirt in the area for a meet-up! This is your chance to meet Diva Dirt staff members, David (Mr Glamazon) and Cryssi as well as fellow readers of the site!
Oh, and did we mention that there’ll be free drinks and surprise guests?!
The latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter rumors a tentative line-up for WrestleMania 27.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed until it’s announced on TV or WWE.com, but here goes:
It’s funny how things work out sometimes, isn’t it? You take a throw away pay-per-view like the Elimination Chamber, the show that’s get stuck between the big two, and you put together a rather weak card of five matches that leaves so much to be desired. For Diva fans the show appeared to suck even more because there wasn’t a match announced at all. I can’t speak for everyone, but I didn’t really want to watch the show. All day I debated whether or not to order it and my gut kept telling me to do it; give the show a chance and you won’t be disappointed. The show ended up getting ordered and low and behold it blew the Royal Rumble completely out of the water. Not only did the matches deliver, but the show was full of surprises. New champions were crowned, both Elimination Chambers far exceeded expectations, and the WWE continued their theme of shock/awe returns. That Diva match never happened but if you want my humble opinion (and you know you do), what we got was much, much better.
When an announcer gets in the ring for what seems to be no apparent reason, I, like all Diva fans should, cringe because it usually spells bad things for the girls. Diva dance offs or bikini contests, or something that’s not a match, usually ends up taking place. So when Booker T got in the ring, my reaction was natural. Booker T has a microphone and he says that he wants to introduce somebody and that this somebody is going to be a trainer on the new season of Tough Enough along with himself and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. He glances in the direction of the stage and a few seconds later some very familiar theme musics begins to play.
TRISH STRATUS WALKS OUT!
Lay-Cool meet Trish Stratus! Despite having no advertised Divas match, WWE certainly delivered an explosive night for Diva fans at Elimination Chamber tonight. After Vickie Guerrero entered the ring pleading with Teddy Long to rehire her boyfriend Dolph Ziggler, Teddy instead rehired Kelly Kelly who had been fired by Vickie a couple of weeks ago … Read more
Diva Dirt LIVE returns tonight at 11pm ET with a post-Elimination Chamber special. We’ll be discussing Trish Stratus’ surprise return, the segment with Lay-Cool and Trish as a trainer on Tough Enough. EDIT: Catch the replay below:
WWE presents Elimination Chamber tonight on pay per view. Tune in at 8pm ET. Discuss the show in the comments!
Next year’s WrestleMania, the 28th edition, will air live from Miami, FL on April 1st, 2012. Divas Champion, Eve Torres was on hand for a press conference today in Miami. The news is notable because it had previously been reported that Toronto was being considered as a possible location, leading to rumor that Trish Stratus … Read more
To say last night’s Royal Rumble pay per view was random would be an understatement. Within a course of a week, we had gone from Natalya vs Melina to Natalya vs Lay-Cool and now to Eve involved as well. So confusing. It’s enough to make you need a stiff drink.
Under the guise that we are going to have a two-on-one handicap match, Lay-Cool make their way down to the ring with Michelle McCool this time looking extra flawless. (Sorry Lay!) The Divas Champ is out next and we are ready to go…. Not so fast.
That dastardly GM’s laptop (this isn’t Raw!!!) rings and we get the announcement that this will now be a fatal four-way match with another Diva involved. Cue gasp as we all think ‘OMG AWESOME KONG’… eh, way to get your hopes up. Beth Phoenix? I mean, she does have singles victories over both Layla and Michelle in recent weeks… eh, think again. Eve Torres’ music hits. Oh.
