Alundra Blayze Speaks on Her Infamous Defection to WCW & Trashing Women’s Title

Former WWE Women’s Champion, Alundra Blayze (Madusa), who famously defected to WCW and dropped the Women’s Title in a trash can, is profiled in the latest ‘Where Are They Now?’ at WWE.com.

Of that situation, she says:

The longest running question to this day is why in the hell did you throw the title in the trash can?” Miceli said. “Well, I was under contract and [former WCW President] Eric Bischoff told me to do it. It was either that or I was out the door.'”

Caught in the middle of the brewing ratings battle between WWE and WCW, Miceli, who had just left WWE on good terms, went through with the stunt and found herself the target of serious backlash. An injustice, Miceli believed, that only fell on her because of her gender.

“If I was a guy I would’ve been on the cover of every magazine,” Miceli said. “Because I was a woman, I was called a disgrace to the business. That’s the truth.”

Big news! Read below:

Black Pants Productions is pleased to announce today that it has acquired Diva-Dirt.com (Diva Dirt).

Diva Dirt will sit alongside Black Pants’ already vast professional wrestling portfolio including ChickFight, one of North America’s premier female wrestling promotions and ClickWrestle.com, the industry leader in professional wrestling video on demand. Other assets include the recently established Female Fight League and Online World of Wrestling.com, the most extensive pro wrestling database online.

As well as acquiring the site, Diva Dirt editor Melanie Rob will join the Black Pants, Inc. team, continuing to oversee Diva Dirt as well as working on other projects within the company.

“I am so excited to join the Black Pants team and help take Diva Dirt to the next level. Given their track record with ChickFight and ClickWrestle and their proven commitment to female wrestling, I know we’re in safe hands,” said Melanie. “I started Diva Dirt two and a half years ago as a hobby, it’s an incredible accomplishment to have come this far and I thank everyone at Black Pants for the opportunity.”

Jason Deadrich, founder of Black Pants and executive board member with the Cauliflower Alley Club, said: “When we first started working with Melanie and the Diva Dirt team last year, I quickly realized that Diva Dirt was not the same as  other female wrestling websites on the Internet. Diva Dirt has heart and soul and is not just a site to get news that is copy-and-pasted from other sites, Diva Dirt is a destination for all true fans of female wrestling and I am proud to bring Melanie and her team on board.

As previously announced, Diva Dirt is due to undergo an extensive renovation with a new look website to launch in the fall.

NXT Lay-Kav-Ool Watch (August 3rd, 2010): Wasting Away In Margaritaville

Last night’s episode of NXT was a hot mess, and I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a good or bad thing in this case. I knew something interesting was going to happen when the Mediacom digital menu said “the first ever kissing contest is held.” What I didn’t expect was the sheer hotness that was Layla/Kaval, the pure joy of seeing Michael McGillicutty and Percy Watson lose, and the weird, overwhelming urge to make out with Alex Riley take over me. I experienced many emotions last night, as did a lot of you who are going to read this. With a lack of anything else to say in this introduction (because words can’t truly describe how epic NXT was… ) I say we get right on down to business!

NXT kicked off with the introduction of the pros and then the rookies. The rookies all went to the ring where Matt Striker basically addressed the situation from last week and told the rookies that tonight they all had to get on the same page. He told them that their challenge for tonight is a kissing contest and while they looked confused/stunned/shocked, he introduced the sexiest women on television, the self-proclaimed co-Women’s Champions, Laycool! Michelle McCool and Layla slowly stood up and looked at each other, before making their way to the ring. Each woman had her own tube of lipgloss and they both took the time to generously apply a new amount using Michelle’s belt for a mirror. Eventually, Laycool end up in the ring and Striker happily tells them that the show is all theirs.

Raw Redux (August 2nd, 2010): An A-List Return

Last week, Alicia Fox managed to overcome The Bella Twins switcheroo and pull out yet another win. She even took out her buddy Jillian afterwards, proving that no one is safe from the ‘Foxy One’s’ wrath. This week, Alicia teamed up with Jillian and Tamina to face off against the team of Eve Torres, Gail Kim and Natalya with a very special appearance by a certain A-List Diva. Check out the match below:

We start off the match with the face team already in the ring, posing to the crowd. Next the heels make their way to the ring and to be honest, Jillian doesn’t look too thrilled to be teaming with Alicia after last week. More on that later. The referee rings the bell and the match is underway with Jillian and Gail kicking things off for their respective teams.

The two Divas lock up and jockey for position, with Jillian getting the upper-hand, taking Gail down with a handful of hair and laying in with some stiff right hands. The non-melodious siren follows up with a hair beel for a two count. Frustrated, Jillian pulls Gail up by the hair and drives her head into her knee repeatedly, followed by a backbreaker for another near fall. Jillian drags Gail over to her corner and takes a moment to stare down her partner Alicia before tagging her in. Guess who’s still bitter?

Torrie Wilson Creates Fat Burner for Women

Melanie

Former Diva, Torrie Wilson announced on her Twitter page yesterday that a fat burning supplement she has been working on is nearing completion.

The product, which is aimed at females, will be out later in the year.

Torrie’s body has always been banging, so I’m sure this is right up her alley.

It’s great to see another ex-Diva showing off her entrepreneurial skills. Torrie already owns a clothing store in Houston, TX called Jaded.

Other former Divas who have invested in businesses and products include Trish Stratus, Lisa Marie Varon and Jackie Haas to name but a few. It definitely seems like a good, practical decision for life after wrestling.

Good luck to Torrie!

Sarita Injured?

TNA Knockout, Sarita may be injured according to reports in various lucha libre publications.

Sarita, who competes as Dark Angel in Mexico, was due to appear for CMLL yesterday but was replaced on the card due to an arm injury, reports Luchablog.

Meanwhile, the magazine Ovaciones also reports that Sarita — real name Sarah Stock — had to pull out due to injury.

We are hoping to hear more about this soon. If true, it would be a big blow for Sarita who is on quite a roll in TNA at the moment. It seems like the Knockouts Championship was the next stop for her, but this would obviously be a major setback.

Our best wishes to Sarah!

SmackDown in Melbourne, Australia (July 31st, 2010): Serena Wrestles

Straight Edge Society Diva, Serena saw in-ring action over the weekend according to various house show reports.

Serena teamed with Women’s Champion, Layla in a losing effort to Kelly Kelly and Natalya in Melbourne, Australia yesterday. The finish saw Kelly hit the K2 on Layla for the pin.

Natalya and The Hart Dynasty have been working the Australian tour with the SmackDown brand this past week. As a reminder to readers, as Unified Tag Team Champions, the Dynasty can work both Raw and SmackDown despite their ‘home’ brand being Raw.

On the tour, the Dynasty have primarily been working with the Straight Edge Society. It’s possible that this could lead to feud on TV, as their feud with the Usos has seemingly died down. Obviously, the prospect of a Natalya vs Serena match has us very excited!

Two developmental Divas, AJ Lee and Aksana competed at last night’s Raw brand house show in Fort Myers, FL.

AJ Lee worked as a babyface, teaming with Eve Torres to defeat Divas Champion Alicia Fox and Aksana, according to PWInsider.

Lee is expected to be called up to the SmackDown brand soon.

EDIT: This report is false. According to a very reliable source, the match was Eve and Gail vs Alicia and Jillian.

Lucha Libre USA (July 30, 2010): Enter Kong

Team DD

The wait is over! At last, the unstoppable force of nature known as Awesome Kong is back on our television screens. Tonight is her debut on MTV2’s Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors. Will the team of Chi Chi & Tigresa Caliente (former TNA Knockout Rhaka Khan) be able to overcome Mini Park and Kong? Watch and see…

Out first is the Fabulous Chi Chi (sporting a pink feather boa, pink tiger-striped pants, and pink stars on his chest as well as a pink wig) with his partner in crime Tigresa Caliente, who is dressed to kill in a tiger striped outfit and half a tiger mask. This woman is fierce and I don’t even care that Tyra Banks may’ve overused that word. Its the only word that describes how utterly awesome Tigresa looks. Not gonna lie, I was a fan of hers in TNA because of how exotic, beautiful and fit she was. She had presence and I’m thrilled to see her here. The two enter to Lady GaGa’s “Bad Romance” – you can never go wrong with GaGa. But apparently these two have no idea who Mini Park’s partner is. They’re in for a shock…

Out comes Mini Park to a rendition of Queen’s “We Will Rock You” in a black ensemble with a skeleton’s outline on the front and back. He grooves his way to the ring. After he takes off his jacket, Chi Chi and Tigresa decide not to wait for his partner. They grab hands and attempt a double clothesline. Park ducks and scrambles to the outside, ducking under the ring. Chi Chi follows while Tigresa positions herself on the outside, waiting eagerly for Park to emerge so she can get her claws in him. Chi Chi’s got someone’s leg under the ring and is pulling for all he’s worth!

Former WWE Women’s Champion, Mickie James was victorious in her return to Maryland Championship Wrestling last night.

The Diva-cum-country singer defeated rookie, Mia Yim, with a DDT according to @FutureDivaSarah on Twitter.

The match was sort of a ‘full circle’ moment for James, who at the beginning of her career a decade ago, wrestled for MCW under the name Alexis Laree. Meanwhile, for Yim, the match marked the end of her rookie year in the industry.

Fan Report from SmackDown Show in Sydney, Australia

Melanie

Diva Dirt reader Nick attended the SmackDown live event in Sydney, Australia last night and sent in this report:

The Hart Dynasty def. The Straight Edge Society.
During the match Natalya powerslamed Joey Mercury and took out Serena which by far got the biggest pop of the night.

Layla def. Kelly in a slow, sloppy match.
Not a lot of actual wrestling, Kelly came out with a pyro though. Before the match started, Layla started spraying the deodorant yelling “Smelly Kelly” and doing stupid warm ups until Kelly tripped her. Layla dominated most of the match, Kelly hit the K2 for a two and a half count, Layla then hit the lay-out for the win. This match was a tad disappointing. No sign of Michelle or Tiffany unfortunately.

On a sidenote: Natalya is STUNNING in real life.

50 Sexiest Divas 2010: Group E (Last Group)

Melanie
-
31

It’s back! Welcome to the third annual 50 Sexiest Divas competition! What is your definition of sexy? Each year, we find out in our countdown of the sexiest women in wrestling as voted solely by you. For the past two years, WWE’s Melina has taken the top spot — will she make it a three-peat? Let’s get started…

HOW IT WORKS

We have compiled 100 names from the world of women’s wrestling that have had some prominence in 2010 thus far. Whether it be in WWE, TNA or independent promotions like SHIMMER, Wrestlicious etc. We have also taken into consideration, for the first time, coverage on Diva Dirt. These 100 women have in the past six months either contributed on television, in the ring or made the headlines here at Diva Dirt. This year, we have taken serious consideration to not include older names that are no longer focused in the wrestling industry to allow a more accurate 50 Sexiest Divas list that we feel is representative of 2010.

The 100 women who have made our longlist have been randomly placed in five groups (Groups A-E), with 20 women in each group. For the next five weeks, we will give you a chance to vote for your favourite woman in each group. From each group, the 10 Divas with the most votes will secure a place in the top 50, and the 10 with the least votes will be cut. Once you have voted for every group, we will have the 50 Divas who will make up the ‘Sexiest’ list for 2010… but it doesn’t stop there! You will then vote for your favourite woman in the top 50 to secure their place in the chart. This is when you’ll decide who is #1 all the way up to #50.

WWE Hall of Famer, Jim Ross has resurrected his old WWE.com column, The Ross Report this weekend. In the first issue, he addresses whether Melina will return to the ring from injury and comments on Alicia Fox‘s greatest asset. Read below:

Will Melina ever return to in ring action? Sources say she’s just about ready to return, but the exact date is unknown to me. Love her ring entrance and her toughness. She was a proud champion.

What’s Alicia Fox’ greatest assets? The Divas Champ has many obviously, but her tendon strength and grip are uncanny especially for a woman.
