I don’t like to read the reviews even about the show before I see it… most weeks now I have to DVR the show due to my PM running schedule, but I was expecting exactly what happened and two to be cut this week. And the weakest links went.
Even though I had been kind of in Ivelisse’s corner as of last week, if she’s nagging about her injury then she simply isn’t tough enough. Yes, shit hurts, especially a legit injury and I can totally speak from personal experience but if you make it be known just as Booker T said, then it becomes a “cop out” in my book. Not being able to keep up with the competition is a legit way to get cut and I give her my best wishes. She’s trained for years to get to this point and taken down by an injury yes does suck but what else is she to do or the trainers to do but cut her. Sure this won’t be the last of her that we see as Stone Cold said – she may even have a developmental by now.
Christina did impress me and being in the bottom three was the best “wake up call” for her. I think she was playing it a bit too safe and coasting through to this point just as she said A.J. is. Good for her that she showed off some spunk and after this week I am in her corner for her to be in the finals with the guys. Even though she does remind me exactly of her sister.

Last week on Monday Night Raw, Kelly Kelly barely managed to escape the wrath of Kharma. Can she get a reprieve for a second week in a row, as she teams with Eve Torres to face The Bella Twins? Speaking of The Bellas, with the Divas Title in their camp, could they be the next targets for Kharma? Check out the match below and find out!
We kick things off with The Bellas in the ring, Divas Champion in tow. Eve Torres make her way out next to a lukewarm reaction, followed by Kelly Kelly, who gets a big pop from the crowd. (Awkward…) After a quick Maxim Hot 100 plug, the official signals for the bell (Is that Nunzio?!?!?!) and our Divas tag match is underway.

Note from Melanie: Apologies for publishing this late!
Girls, girls, girls, come on and make me proud. I had a feeling that this week’s episode would capture the ladies finally but not nearly in the light that I would have hoped. There is no editing the weak and sorry to say it but the gal with the most guts is gone. Neither Ivelisse or Christina is strong enough to even be past the next round. Not that I am being biased but I am simply stating what I hope that everyone else is seeing. Just as Trish said many of times, you need to have such a thick skin inside and, of course, on the outside to survive in the WWE and all of pro wrestling for that matter. Especially Superstar status-wise and the two ladies remaining just don’t have that quality.
Now Christina displays more of the “pretty athleticism” but overall, I really think that she is the weaker one. Even though Ivelisse showed weakness in the physical challenge as well as in the ring, I really think that in the long haul that she would be more successful in the business. With the right guidance and a current WWE Diva to take her under her wing AND keep her head focused in the game at all times, she could be a real good heel.
The first two episodes of Lance Storm’s World of Hurt have found their way onto YouTube. The Canadian series airs every Sunday on The Cave and follows Lance Storm’s advanced training class at Storm Wrestling Academy.

Watch the episodes below:
The Bella Twins & Melina
It’s a rather unimaginative salute to Cinco de Mayo, but the Bellas and Melina, three Divas of Mexican descent, have joined forces for a photoshoot, donning the colors of the Mexican flag. The main gist of the shoot is that they’re all together, showing their Mexican pride in green, red and white. They’re all wearing flowers in their hair too, seemingly a trick Melina picked up from the Bellas. I suppose I should be glad that there’s no silly props to be seen, but I still think they could have done more, maybe with the setting, to do full justice to the liveliness and spirit of Cinco de Mayo. Even so, the women all look great, and if nothing else, this shoot serves to represent a measure of diversity that’s present in the WWE.

Beth Phoenix
Abound in neutral colors, Beth is posing in a tight gray dress and black boots while in front of a steely background. This color scheme suits Beth really well, her blonde hair popping against the gray. Her poses are friendly and relaxed, just diverse enough to be interesting. The color scheme helps to tone everything else down visually and pulls everything together. For instance, her sexy dress, skin tight and strategically cut on the chest, looks a lot more chic when placed against a gray background and with black as the only competing color. That’s not to say that Beth didn’t do her fair share towards making this photoshoot great, but it goes to show you how much just a choice of color can do.
