Only Day One and Torrie’s Got Her First Feud!

The Weekly Roundup (May 24 – 30, 2009) – A Week in Television
Welcome to Diva Dirt’s new feature – The Weekly Roundup, a look at the week in television! From Raw, SmackDown, ECW and TNA too, we look back at the week’s highs and lows as well as giving you the opportunity to catch up on what you’ve missed!
MAY 24th – MAY 30th, 2009
It’s been a positively exhausting seven days for us women’s wrestling fans! From TNA’s Sacrifice pay per view last Sunday to last night’s Friday Night SmackDown. Take a look back at the week that was, with Diva Dirt.
Best Bet: The best moment of the week had to be Victoria‘s TNA debut on Impact, this past Thursday night. We saw a rejuvenated Vicious Vixen looking better than she has in years, make quite the impact on Angelina Love (no pun intended). This moment will surely be a strong contender in the 2009 Year-End Awards.
Honourable Mention: The next top moment came from star-in-the-making, Alicia Fox who got the chance to compete in the ring with the multi-talented, three time Women’s Champion, Melina. Sure she lost, but for a young Diva, working with the champion is one hell of a rub. We predict big things for A-Fox!
Low Point: The disappointing Divas Championship scenario on Raw left a bad taste in my mouth this week. Mickie James looked to be in line for a feud with Maryse, but it now seems Kelly Kelly will get that honour.
Check out all of this week’s videos after the cut:
SmackDown Redux (May 29, 2009) – Twice as Nice
As Raw dwindled away it’s only compelling storyline this week, SmackDown has furthered both of it’s Diva storylines. Perhaps it’s the so-called ‘lack of Superstars’ on the show that have allowed the writers to utilise all of their stars to the fullest extent (just look at Charlie Haas, talk about a new lease on life). … Read more

TNA Renames Victoria and Oh Yes, It’s Dumb…
TNA has renamed former Women’s Champion, Victoria (real name Lisa Marie Varon) for her run with the company. And the result is stupid as fudge, if I do say so myself. Victoria is now going by the name of *cringe*… Tara. The Vicious Vixen, Tara… Nah, I don’t think so. So much second hand embarassment. … Read more

Impact Spoilers For Upcoming Shows
Below are spoilers for upcoming shows, dates not confirmed. If I had to guess they will be padded out over the next few weeks’ worth of shows. None of this airs this week, however:
Awesome Kong vs. “the Future Legend” Cheerleader Melissa. Kong wins following an Awesome Bomb. Crowd was redhot and 100% behind Melissa, the ovation she got was amazing. Conspicuous by her absence at ringside was Raisha Saied.
Daffney defeated Taylor Wilde. During the match, Dr Stevie & Raven come down to ringside with a kendo stick. Post match, the trio hover over Wilde & Lauren came down to help her back. Raven takes the mic and says that for 10 years people have been wanting the reunion of himself and Stevie. He says that Abyss didn’t obey doctor’s orders. – PWInsider.com
