Knockouts Title Match for No Surrender… It’s a Doozy

TNA will announce on tonight’s episode of Impact that the Knockouts Championship will be decided in a match between ODB and Cody Deaner at September’s No Surrender pay per view. TNA’s er, General Manager(?) Mick Foley will seize the title until the pay per view on September 20th. I don’t even know where to begin…

Exclusive: Torrie Wilson on WWE, ‘Mania 25, I’m a Celeb & More

In our biggest interview yet, former WWE Diva legend, Torrie Wilson takes the Diva Dirthot seat. In this interview, Torrie discusses her run on NBC’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! as well as her thoughts on WrestleMania, the Divas and Women’s Championships, Playboy and much more!

It’s been two months since you left the jungle, how has your life changed?
Torrie: Still the same life. Just being recognized more, that’s it!

There was some competition between you and Lou in the challenges, you beat him in a few and he beat you in a few. If you had to come second to anyone, are you glad it was him?
Torrie: Lou and I were close in a lot of the challenges but Sanjaya, John Salley and Patti [Blagojevich] were good competitors as well and I would have been okay with getting second to any of them.

Speidi were the big camp villains. In the very first episode, you clashed with them over the dry shampoo & Spencer said some pretty nasty things. What was it like being in the camp with them and did you ever feel the urge to use some wrestling moves on Spencer?
Torrie: They were a handful to say the least but they are okay people. I see good in them. Thankfully, I didn’t really care what they thought of me so Spencer’s harsh words didn’t mean much. It would’ve hurt more coming from someone I respected more on a personal level. And yes! I almost hip tossed him into the river but kept my calm!

Have you seen any of the footage back and been shocked? Janice lying about the Granola bar comes to mind!
Torrie: I haven’t seen much of the footage but did see the first or second episode where Heidi questioned my faith and it did bother me. I knew Janice took the granola bar but seeing it will make me wanna hunt her down!

You noted that you’ve become a vegetarian since leaving the jungle, how did that come about?
Torrie: I have become semi-vegetarian. I cut out most meat but do still eat a small amount of turkey and chicken here and there. John Salley taught me a lot about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle and I took lots of mental notes! I also felt great after not eating meat for 30 days, so I figured something must be right!

Since the show, I’m sure you’ve received a lot of offers. What are you doing next? We know you’ve got the fitness DVDs coming up!
Torrie:I am working on a few things but never like to talk about it until it’s actually happening! Things in Hollywood can change at the drop of a hat, I will keep you posted though!

TNA’s ‘Familiar Face’ Mystery Solved

We received word that solves the ‘familiar face’ mystery Jeremy Borash tweeted about last night. We’re told that former Knockout, Roxxi aka Nikki Roxx, is set to return to TNA. I don’t know about you but Roxxi sure does fit the bill of a familiar face that “you probably wouldn’t expect.” Furthermore, I’ve confirmed that … Read more

Knockouts Tag Titles News Including More Stupidity

The Wrestling Observer has revealed that the timing of the newly formed Knockouts Tag Team Championship is not a coincidence, as it’s being launched with Jeff Jarrett out of power. Jarrett reportedly was a firm believer of only having three titles in TNA before launching the Knockouts and Legends titles. The additional set of belts … Read more

Maria: The Bad Boys Are Always Catching My Eye

maria-bf

Is it just me or is Maria the most gullible WWE Diva in history? No, I’m not knocking her… I mean the way she’s scripted. Maria the character hasn’t had much luck in the man stakes, has she? Current beau, Dolph Ziggler is your typical bad boy, the one that all your friends warn you away from and you don’t listen. Oh Maria, if only you had learned from the countless teen soaps…

Let’s look at her man history: Thankfully, unlike countless Divas before her, Maria hasn’t been entangled with Vince McMahon… yet. However her first ‘love affair’, if you could call it that was with one John Cena. Not much happened there, it was kind of a ‘dine and dash’ situation; he kissed her one week and then acted like she didn’t exist the next. Let us reminisce on that ~magical kiss~

Perhaps it was the cold shoulder from the former WWE Champion that led her astray to her future boyfriends…

Let’s surmise; former boyfriend Santino, somewhere between dating and Maria and Beth Phoenix, decided to become a cross dresser. Current boyfriend, Ziggler, was a male cheerleader. Boy, does she know how to pick ’em or what?

Ever done double-take while watching a movie or TV show and thought “Hang on, isn’t that so-and-so?” Well we certainly have! Diva Dirt’s Dead Ringers aims to seek out our Divas celeb dopplegangers and highlight them here, for you to vote whether … Read more

Mickie’s Loss Not Punishment

A contact in the ‘E has been reading your comments and in an e-mail last night, insisted that Mickie James‘ loss on Monday night was not seen as a punishment for last week. They continue that the Divas Champ didn’t see it as such either. This all stems from Mickie’s surprise loss to Alicia Fox … Read more

Detailed SmackDown Spoilers for August 28th, 2009

Diva Dirt reader, Bryan sent in detailed spoilers from last night’s taping. Show airs on Friday, check back for the Redux! Click the ‘+’ to read:

SmackDown - August 28th, 2009
– Melina & Maria have a backstage segment talking about Dolph Ziggler. It was pretty much what has been happening in the past weeks, but Melina mentions something about seeing Dolph with some girl backstage at SummerSlam & later on in the segment Maria snaps at Melina in a verbal way not physical. Melina warns Maria again before leaving the segment as Dolph comes in to tell Maria it was his sister.

– Melina def. Layla. Michelle McCool comes out with crutches and sits at the announcers’ table. I’m not sure if they are going to show her coming down to the announcers’ table because she did take a long time. Michelle grabs the mic talking about how she is so sad for all the people that paid good money to see her but can’t see her in action because of Melina shoving her last week, she then continues to whine about how its all Melina’s fault she can’t compete. Her voice sounded better on mic than on commentary I think.

She then introduces Layla as Melina’s opponent, saying how good of a friend she is to her. Layla comes out with her attire she had last week with the orange & black. Then Melina comes out wearing her leopad print attire, I guess.

As for the match, I thought it was pretty decent, Layla got to control most of the match by attacking Melina’s legs & Melina finished the matched with her leg-split finisher.

Unwrapped: Divas “Raw Boxing” Photoshoot

We’re again bringing you a special edition of Unwrapped, where we cover multi-Diva shoots in a miniaturized version of our regular “unwrappings”, focusing on the looks and ensembles our Divas have put together. This time, we’re taking a look at the “Raw Boxing” photoshoot, where the Divas who took part in Raw’s boxing-themed tag team match show off their Everlast gear. Click here to see the full photoshoot.

Alicia Fox
Grade: Sweet. I can’t help but think of two things when I see Alicia’s gear: Captain America and the Harlem Globetrotters. Both are a good thing–they’re iconic! The stars and stripes are cute and kitschy enough to catch your eye, but not in a ultra-girly and cheesy way. She kind of looks like she’s set to fight in that old “Mike Tyson Punch-Out!” video game.

Beth Phoenix
Grade: Sweet. OMG, Beth actually gets to take part in a themed match! Beth doesn’t disappoint, either, actually adhering to the theme and looking more like an actual boxer than any of the other Divas. The gold and red Everlast gear looks sexy, not sleazy, and it doesn’t look like a Halloween costume gone wrong like one I have a feeling I’ll be seeing on a particular Diva still to come..

Gail Kim
Grade: Sweet. It’s pretty simple, but the little silver shorts are cute. She also uses pink, but not overwhelmingly like she needed to reinforce the fact that she’s a woman. “I gotta say, though, the “Boxer Girl” on her top looks like it says “Boner Girl” on first glance. Good thing or bad thing? Judge for yourselves.. :P

Follow the cut to see the rest of the Divas in the photoshoot.

Former WWE Diva, Krissy Vaine Joins Diva Dirt

We are extremely excited to announce a new addition to the Diva Dirt team — former WWE Diva and SHIMMER alumna, Krissy Vaine! Krissy is perhaps best known for her work with Amber O’Neal in Team Blondage, who competed on the first two SHIMMER volumes.

Krissy then went onto sign a WWE developmental deal in January 2006, training at Deep South Wrestling with girls like Michelle McCool, Natalya, Kristal Marshall, Taylor Wilde and Angelina Love before moving to current developmental territory, FCW.

Krissy was called up to SmackDown in September 2007, when she attacked Torrie Wilson after one of her final matches with Victoria. Unfortunately, two weeks after debuting on the brand, Krissy requested her release.

Already a huge fan of Diva Dirt, Krissy brings a brand new dynamic to our team and will be debuting her weekly feature very soon.

As well as that, she will be joining us on a special episode of the Diva Dirt Roundtable when we move to our new Monday slot next week. In the special episode, Krissy will reveal for the first time, the uncensored story behind her leaving WWE and working with Diva legends like Torrie and Victoria.

Please join us in welcoming Krissy to our team!

Plus check out a few videos of Krissy in action after the cut:

Raw Redux (August 24th, 2009) – OutFoxing the Divas Champion

What do you buy a man who has it all? Nothing. You just let him hog Raw for most of the show. On a night where everything else played second fiddle to Vince McMahon’s birthday celebrations, there wasn’t much in the way of anything groundbreaking or storyling progression. In fact, judging by the pinfall last … Read more

Lilian Garcia May Host Final Raw

According to Wrestling Observer, Lilian Garcia may guest host her final episode of Raw, reportedly either next week or the week after. If so, I have to say it’d be a fitting end to our Decade Diva’s career! Also noted is that Lilian’s ‘final act’ will be to name her successor.

Random Observations from Raw (August 24th, 2009)

– “Mayweather Melee,” say that three times real fast. – Kelly ‘Kendra Wilkinson’ Kelly seems right at home in sports gear. – At least this time she has an excuse for wearing sneakers in a match. – Beth Phoenix’s pigtails… bless. – Is it just me or does Mickie James look hotter in boxing gear … Read more

Raw Response: August 24th, 2009

Another Monday is upon us! Tonight’s episode of Raw, hosted by Floyd Mayweather, is reportedly a Raw Roulette special emanating from Las Vegas. Plus it’s also rumoured to be Lilian Garcia‘s final Raw. Discuss the show as it happens in the comments!

Unwrapped: Divas “City of Angels” Shoot

We’re bringing you a special edition of Unwrapped, covering the recent multi-Diva shoot, titled “City of Angels”. I won’t be judging them too closely, as there’s only about 2 photos per Diva, so I’ll just focus on their looks. Click here to see the full photoshoot.

Alicia Fox
Grade: Sweet. I know some people don’t like rompers, but I happen to love them if they’re done right. And in this case, Alicia does do it right. The colors and stripes are cute, and her hair looks great. Maybe in less flattering poses the loose-fitting romper would look more like a potato sack, but from what I can see, I dig it.

Brie & Nikki Bella
Grade: Bland. I’m not one to bound these two together as a package deal, but they’re wearing the same thing, so there ya go. I think it’s pretty cheesy to wear the EXACT.SAME.THING., but I guess that’s the WWE’s doing. In keeping with that, I guess they go for a more boring look, figuring that if you see it twice, it’ll look more interesting. Nope, not this time. They don’t look bad, but I’m not really a fan of the “Price is Right” mentality in dressing.

Gail Kim
Grade: Sweet. It’s tough to go wrong with a little black dress, and Gail wears it well, spicing it up with a wide belt and some cute pigtails. It’s pretty simple, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

Follow the cut to see the rest of the Divas in the photoshoot.

TNA Interested in Candice?

For what it’s worth, Candice Michelle‘s name was briefly brought up at last week’s Impact tapings, a source tells Diva Dirt. Whether it will lead to anything substantial is speculative at this point. But for Candice fans holding out hope, there was a mention or two of her name. With TNA launching a tag team … Read more

Divas Reprimanded for Too Much Cleavage

In a sign that WWE is really PG, a thing that would have been encouraged a few years ago is now taboo in WWE. SmackDown Diva, Maria, reveals to the LA Times: The wrestling attire for the ladies has become more conservative as well. Maria Kanellis, one of the WWE’s “diva” wrestlers, used to perform … Read more

Sunday Supplement: Will The Knockout Tag Titles Sink or Swim?

sundaysupplement.In the Saturday Sunday Supplement, the Diva Dirt team will aim to discuss a news story, a televised event or other relevant and current topics. The objective, like the average weekend newspaper, is to offer more indepth and lengthy discussion.

ss7-christytaraTNA is setting out to live up to their tagline, ‘Cross the Line’, but not in the ways you would think. In an attempt to push even more boundaries and utilize their ever-growing roster of Knockouts, they’ve decided to implement a tag team division. In the coming weeks, a tournament will take place to determine the first ever Knockouts Tag Team Champions. The question is will the division work?

Serious women’s tag team wrestling has been a niche for quite some time now. During the mid-80s, it was rare to see a women’s match let alone a tag team match. However, that didn’t stop the World Wrestling Federation from making a tag team division for the ladies. In 1983, Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria’s NWA Women’s Tag Team Championship belts were converted into the WWF Women’s Tag Team Championship when the two defected from the National Wrestling Alliance and joined WWF. In it’s six years of existence, the belts passed through the hands of several teams before they were captured by the Jumping Bomb Angels (Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki), who would be be the last women to hold the titles before they became defunct in 1989.

Women’s tag team wrestling became all but extinct until the mid-2000s, when all-female promotions such as Women Superstars Uncensored and most notably SHIMMER brought it back into the limelight.
