Looks like we can add another name to Erin’s list. Ex-Diva Ashley Massaro recently took to her favorite form of communication, Myspace, about her Wrestlemania status. “Another thing I’d like to touch on quickly is Wrestlemania. I know many of you are asking if i will be attending and participating in the 25 Diva Battle … Read more
We can all agree that, except for a few exceptions, Divas get the short end of the stick when comes to entrance themes. While the male superstars get music from actual bands and artists or custom made songs with lyrics, Divas get stuck with crappy production music. If I had the chance I would change all the Divas music to something a little… well, better. And that’s just what I’m going to do. Here’s a few changes I would make to the Divas’ soundtrack:

JILLIAN – “GIMMIE MORE” BY BRITNEY SPEARS
An obvious choice for Raw’s resident pop star, Jillian Hall. I could see Jillian strutting down the ramp to the tunes of her idol. Hopefully she’ll take a page outta Britney’s book and leave the live singing to those who are actually good at it.

It looks as though Diva fans are somewhat aggravated at the amount of Divas saying “No” to a WrestleMania 25 appearance. And it is true that the “No’s” do outweigh the “Yes’” and “Maybe’s” on Erin’s quaint little chart. But being ever the bigger-picture-seer (I realise that isn’t a word) that I am, there’s a … Read more
Divas have never been known to choose the most practical outfits to wrestle in, but Eve‘s bringing it to a whole new level in her new photoshoot “On the Spot”. The booty shorts alone look painful.

Names from the WWE’s WrestleMania 25 “contact list” are continuing to leak, and the most recent news brings us two names we haven’t heard in quite some time: Tori and Luna Vachon.

Speculation over those taking part in WrestleMania 25’s big 25-Diva “Miss WrestleMania” Battle Royal has been coming in hot and heavy in the past few days, so it’s understandable if you (like me) have gotten a little lost along the way.

It’s kinda sad that we know more about this girl now than we ever knew when she was employed. More news on Ex-Diva Saylor James. It’s rumored that WWE officials gave James the same surname as WWE Diva because they had plans to bring her up to the main roster as a relative of Mickie’s. While this is most … Read more

Mickie James‘s in-ring style has always been a bit on the “flower child” side, hence the theme of her new photoshoot, “Flower Power”. She’s sporting bright colors and psychedelic patterns that are reminiscent of the age of the hippies, free love, and glow-in-the-dark velvet posters. It fits her bouncy nature perfectly, and the addition of … Read more

Natalya may be treading dangerously into Avril Lavigne territory in her new photoshoot “Hart-breaker”, but she does it pretty well. Quite frankly, she’s looking so Diva-ish it’s kind of scary.

An interesting episode of Raw this week, as we saw Divas Champion, Maryse take on the Women’s Champion, Melina. Although not advertised as such, this one became a glorified lumberjack match with Divas from Raw and SmackDown present at ringside. Sorry, ECW.
It was Maryse that picked up the victory in the second champion vs champion match, we are now 1-for-1 in these types of matches with the Divas Champion coming out on top this time.
Raw in Review
Last week, WWE seemingly set up Maryse vs Melina for WrestleMania 25. Last week, we got to experience first hand the craziness that must ensue in the creative team meetings. At the time of the Raw and SmackDown tapings, it looked like we’d see that match but somehow, by week’s end, they’d opted for a 25 Diva battle royal instead.
So coming into this week’s Raw, WWE had a misfired storyline to tie up and a battle royal to set up. So our would-be WrestleMania match becomes just another Raw match. But all things considered, it was pretty decent. Maryse and Melina have never wrestled each other one one-on-one before so we had no indication as to where this one would go. They are both talented, competent Divas but at the same time, even the most experienced of Divas can clash in the ring style-wise.
Luckily, these two shared more chemistry than the Divas involved in the first champion vs champion match, Beth Phoenix and Michelle McCool. Melina’s fiery, innovative moveset was nicely off-set by Maryse’s cocky reliance on restholds and submissions, allowing her attitude to do the work for her. The result proved to be a good mix as the pace of the match was just perfect.
Given that Maryse is still a relative newcomer to the squared circle, she really worked well with Melina and this is a match I wouldn’t mind seeing again. As for our Women’s Champion, she proved that she can be a top Diva and carry a match successfully, something that many critics don’t accredit her with often enough.
The finish to this match likely caused a very split reaction amongst fans and so it should. Both these Divas are champions, both are worthy of winning in my opinion. It’s a tough call to make but someone had to win. I’m not going to lie, I was shocked that Maryse won but I didn’t mind. There had to be a winner and it gives Maryse a nice rub for her championship reign. Melina has already toppled Beth Phoenix and is at the top of the Raw roster, meanwhile Maryse has close competition with Michelle McCool at the top of the SmackDown roster. Giving her the rub here, puts her over a little more. *There’s something else I want to point out but will do so after the cut to avoid spoilers.
The match aftermath proved far more confusing. This went from being a brand pride affair to a babyface-heel affair. O… K. The highlight of this obligatory mish-mash segment was Rosa Mendes hurtling towards the SmackDown Divas and Beth grabbing her by the leg. The whole skit reminded me of the movie Bolt, with Rosa in the spot of Bolt’s (Beth’s) number one fan, Rhino the hamster who, like Rosa, shares an eagerness to get in the mix and prove himself to Bolt.
Little known FCW Diva, Saylor James – real name Catalina White – has reportedly been released by WWE over tattoos. Word is that the Florida native who was a model prior to joining WWE, was let go after she had some work done without permission. Say what?! What’s next, needing permission to get married?
