Perhaps one of the most memorable moments in WrestleMania Diva history… who can forget Molly Holly having her head shaved bald in 2004? Relive it below:

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 … Read more
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.
Looks like Trish isn’t the only one getting the Axxess memorabilia treatment.
Sunny, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, this weekend has also received a spot at the convention — though on a smaller scale to Trish’s display.
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.”
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!'”
WWE’s annual Axxess convention kicked off yesterday in Atlanta and continuing our access-all-areas (pardon the pun) coverage of WrestleMania 27, we snapped a few pictures from the day’s events.
Appearing at Axxess yesterday were the likes of Kaitlyn, Gail Kim, Rosa Mendes, Lay-Cool, Vickie Guerrero and more!
Check out a selection of pictures from Day 1 of Axxess below:
Fans at WrestleMania Axxess this weekend are being treated to a display of Trish Stratus’ greatest hits — well, outfits — in the memorabilia section of the convention.
Several outfits from Trish’s WWE heyday are on display. Diva Dirt has exclusive photos and an exclusive video tour! Check it out below.
Also, you can hear Trish talking about the Axxess display and how/why she chose the outfits in our interview with her from earlier this week.
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…

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?
There was plenty of flower power on show as Natalya and Beth Phoenix both opted for frilly frocks. Meanwhile, Alicia Fox is spotted all smiles in a black number.
Japan has caught Deeber Fever, it seems! Serena Deeb will return to Japan’s SMASH promotion — run by Tajiri — on April 30th in a six-woman tag match. Serena will team with Syuri and Makato to take on the team of Kana, Mio Sharai and Io Sharai at SMASH 16. Then on May 3rd, she … Read more
