WWE Grandstanding Over Trish’s Absence at ‘Mania

by

Word is that WWE is telling people that Trish Stratus wasn’t ‘brought’ to WrestleMania after saying she’d only appear if she won the match. Something sound wrong with that sentence? That’s because that’s the word WWE’s higher ups are spreading, as the official ‘company reason’. In a more likely scenario, Trish may have turned the … Read more

The WrestleMania 25 Post-Game Column

by

wm25-postgame

Depending on who you ask, WrestleMania 25 was either OMG-I-soiled-myself-bad or batshit-crazy-horrendous. And that’s just the Divas standpoint. If you ordered WrestleMania to see Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, you most likely went to bed satisfied. If you joined us for our live blog last night, the reaction was almost unanimous as the Divas battle royal got started – there was shock and there was awe. I was utterly speechless for nearly 5 minutes last night.

I could turn this into a rant with loads of effing-and-blinding, but I choose not to. More than sixty of you have already made it obvious that last night was just horrible. So instead, I’m going to look back specifically at all the parts where it went wrong.

Let’s be honest, WWE isn’t going to respond to disgruntled fans shouting their heads off. Nor is WWE going to respond to this here blog. But for the fans, the critics, the Divas and anyone else who reads Diva Dirt, I want to pinpoint what WWE did wrong so that you will get a clear picture of just how debilitating this is to the women’s division.

I hate to say it, but last night’s ‘match’ had me yearning for the Playboy-themed matches of yore…

Let me convey something to you straightaway, my issue is not with the match and not with the talent involved. My issue is with WWE’s piss poor handling of the match. So with that said, let’s play a game of “Spot the problems”…

Looking Back at WrestleMania 24

by

wm24

Tonight’s ‘Miss WrestleMania’ 25 Diva battle royal has been a major talking point at Diva Dirt for the last month. But last year, it was the BunnyMania match that had us all talking. Let’s take a look back at last year’s event, which featured Beth Phoenix and Melina beating Maria and Ashley:

Originally posted in March 2008

WrestleMania 24 is in the history books, folks! And you know what? Despite my initial scepticism *coughunderstatementcough* about BunnyMania, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! Join me in looking back at the match:

Despite the “BunnyMania” tagline, this one was pretty much a normal tag team match and the Diva lumberjacks didn’t offer much to the match itself. Though it was fun to see the likes of Victoria and Mickie at ringside. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t send Torrie out there too, I for one am saddened she has broken her record of WrestleMania appearances. One Diva that I noticed was missing, was Eve. I don’t think she was missed though! Some honourable fashion mentions: Eve looked really pretty in her dress, Mickie looked unusually glamourous and beautiful, Layla looked extremely hot too!

As for the Divas involved, Ashley looked as per usual but despite the spotlight being on her tonight – what was up with Maria? I don’t know what kind of look she was going for but it was all kinds of wrong; it always makes me laugh when WWE tries to make out how fashion-forward Maria is when really, her fashion tastes are laughable. Once I got past the horror of her hair and moved onto the outfit, the first thing I thought was: “This was obviously inspired by Melina.” Maria’s attire was just like a bad version of Melina’s unique, well accessorised, polished-looking outfits that I’ve been a fan of forever! Beth didn’t look any different than usual either; but I love that one Diva truly gets the grandeur of WrestleMania – Melina looked frickin’ smokin’ head to toe! Wow, wow, wow! Needless to say, I loved it! Melina pulled out the stops at WrestleMania 23 for a special addition to her ring attire and this year, she outdid herself. The peacock feathers were unique and fun and her wrestling attire, while in a similar style to her usual outfits, was just gorgeous! I loved the colours, I loved everything about it. Okay, I should save something for the Fashion Focus piece I need to write after this post!

Chyna Headed to WrestleMania?

by

Did hell just freeze over? I think so! Word is that former Diva legend, Chyna could be heading to WrestleMania to compete for the ‘Miss WrestleMania’ title. The former Intercontinental and Women’s Champion hasn’t been seen in the WWE since leaving in 2001 admist a real-life triangle involving her then-boyfriend Triple H and his onscreen (and now real life) wife Stephanie McMahon.

According to sources, Chyna has been in talks with the company as late as this past Monday. The news was talk of the triple-header Raw, SmackDown and ECW taping in Dallas, Texas. However if a deal can be reached, it’s unlikely that Chyna would appear unless she received a huge payout in return – and it just so happens that she has a book waiting in the wings to be promoted!

Ironically, Chyna’s last WWE appearance was at WrestleMania 17.

Diva Dirt acquired an official statement from Chyna’s publicist, follow the cut to read:
