In Video: Natalya, Sunny Interviewed at Axxess; Natalya Praises Trish as ‘Personal Hero’

Brian Fritz has interviews with Natalya and Sunny from earlier in the week.

Second ROH iPPV Today at 1pm ET featuring SHIMMER Tag Title Match & Princess Mia!

0

ROH presents its second Internet pay per view in as many days live at 1pm ET on GoFightLive.tv.

Set for today’s show is a SHIMMER Tag Team Championship match, marking the first time the belts have been defended in ROH. Champions Daizee Haze and Tomoka Nakagawa defend against Ayumi Kurihara and Hiroyo Matsumoto.

ROH set the scene for this match on last night’s iPPV when Nakagawa spat water in Ayumi’s face following the latter team’s victory over Sara Del Rey and Serena. Results from that show here.

Also on today’s show will be Princess Mia and the Embassy accompanying Tomasso Ciampa for his match with Homicide.

Check back later for full coverage!

In Video: Clip from Tough Enough, Miss USA Learns to Take a Bump

7

Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive clip from the upcoming revival of Tough Enough featuring Miss USA, Rima Fakih, learning to take a bump.

Up until now only promos have been released, but this first piece of footage from the show gives viewers an idea of how the show will look and feel.

Check out the clip here.

I don’t know about you but that clip sold the show to me. I’m officially excited!

Big Name Lands in Atlanta

20

Recent WWE signing Awesome Kong arrived today in Atlanta for WrestleMania festivies, reports the Wrestling Observer.

Though it is possible that she could debut in the coming days, it’s equally possible that she won’t. WWE usually brings in all main roster talent to WrestleMania, and considering that Kong isn’t being sent to developmental she constitutes as main roster talent.

Also on hand for WrestleMania weekend will be the Tough Enough contestants.

Impact Write-Up (March 31st, 2011): Winter Puts a Chokehold on the Beautiful People

Welcome back, once again, to the another edition of the TNA Impact Write-Up here on Diva Dirt. You all know who I am so there is no real need for formal introductions. If you don’t know, you have a bit of catching up to do, don’t you? ;) Last week, we saw a definite improvement, in regards to Knockout matches, between two rival women who just can’t seem to get enough of beating the hell out of each other. We also saw a rather eerie and even, science fictionesque turn in the land of The Beautiful People. I can definitely say that I saw that one coming. This week, we’ve got a singles match between two newer rivals, who can’t stop fighting over a favorite blonde Canadian. There is bound to be blood.

Our first wacky glimpse of the Knockouts, comes in the form of Angelina Love and Winter standing backstage. Angelina has a red plastic cup of some concoction in her hand and Winter is stroking her hair, telling her everything is going to be alright. This is all just a small bump in the road. Winter tells her that her drink will calm her nerves. She goes on to say that Velvet Sky is a big girl and that she cost them their titles out of jealousy, she wants Angelina all to herself, to control her. Winter just couldn’t let that happen. She claims she is just trying to protect Angelina, nothing personal against Velvet.

Cue recap video package of recent months, reminding us all how this weird development came about. All those weird and SyFy channelesque moments that no one can seem to wash from their memory, leading up until last week.

Exclusive Pictures & Video: Classic Sunny Outfits Highlighted at WrestleMania Axxess

Snooki Would Say ‘Yes’ to Becoming Full Time WWE Diva

24

Speaking to PopEater.com at the WrestleMania press conference earlier this week, Snooki revealed that she would say ‘yes’ to becoming a full-time WWE Diva.

Snooki, who heads to WrestleMania 27 this Sunday, said: “I am committed to my ‘Jersey Shore’ family, but obviously that’s not going to last forever. If I am given an opportunity to become a full-time Diva, then I would say yes.”

Watch the video of the interview below:

Sunny Discusses Her Hall of Fame Induction, How She Was Told & Her Return to MSG

In a new interview with SLAM! Sports, Sunny aka Tammy Sytch discusses her WWE Hall of Fame induction this weekend.

On getting the call that WWE wanted to induct her, Sunny says John Laurinaitis called her while Raw was on and told her to tune in:

“I already had it on while I was packing for my trip to Mexico, when all of a sudden the announcement of Shawn Michaels going into the hall of fame comes on,” recalled Sytch. “I said to Johnny Ace, ‘That’s great! Good for him, he deserves it,’ as I acted happier than a pig in poop.

“Then Johnny Ace goes, ‘Well, Vince [McMahon] and I were talking and we’d like you to be the second inductee.’ I paused, and then said, ‘You’re s**ttin’ me right?’ Then he says, ‘No, I’m not s**ttin’ you.’ So of course I started crying and shaking and freaking out. I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my God, I’m only 38, and usually the people who go into the Hall of Fame are at least 50, or dead by the time they get inducted. All I could think was, ‘Holy crap, this is awesome!'”

WrestleMania Rewind: Mickie James vs Trish Stratus

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…

Mr. Glamazon Reports from WrestleMania 27 – Day 2 (Art Show)

14

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!

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?

Serena Returning to Japan Next Month

Then on May 3rd, she faces Kana, who is considered to be the top Joshi right now, in a singles match at SMASH 17.

Deeb made her debut in Japan, fulfilling a lifelong dream in the process, earlier this year.
