TNA released the following footage going into tonight’s PPV:
The Diva Dirt team weigh in on tonight’s Knockouts Tag Team Championship match.
Cryssi: Is Velvet Sky still involved with Sarita? Does she still hate Winter? If the answer is “yes” to either or both questions then expect Vel Vel to inadvertently cost Angelina and Winter the match tonight. Sarita & Rosita will emerge as the new TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions.
Sara Del Rey defeated incoming Japanese talent, Toshie Uematsu at the CHIKARA live event in Brooklyn, NY this aftermoon. Del Rey pinned Uematsu after the Royal Butterfly at the 9:46 minute mark. Full results from the show on CHIKARA’s Twitter. Uematsu defeated Madison Eagles yesterday in Williamsport, PA.
Beth Phoenix
She’s inexplicably paired with a ladder, but somehow Beth makes it look like it belongs there. Is it her tough, muscle-bearing outfit or the fact that she’s posing with it as a natural set piece rather than looking like she’s selling it like a “The Price is Right” girl? I think it’s a bit of both. While the poses here are rather limited and basic, I feel that a few of them show her true, natural “Glamazon” presence, with her posed statuesquely against the ladder. I’ve never been a fan of the “toss in a prop” method of planning a photoshoot, but Beth makes it work. I think it helps that she isn’t using it for a cheap “sexy” touch, as is the purpose of most Diva and Knockout photoshoot props.

Eve Torres
Eve’s sporting a super cute dress that’s so colorful you almost expect to see rainbows shooting out of it. It’s a nice kind of colorful, though; not the assault-on-the-eyes type. The pattern is unique, and makes it look like Eve’s swishing the dress when she’s not, which makes for a interesting effect and spices up what could have been yet another studio shoot with that bloody white background. The dress looks great on Eve, and her poses keep up the fun and springy theme that the frock started. She sells it well, looking genuinely happy and care-free instead of plastering on a perma-grin. The fair weather might be the cause of her happiness, but I’m choosing to believe that it’s the dress that’s fueling her cheeriness–it certainly makes me smile.

As well as the Femmes Fatales show in Montreal, a few other female wrestling tidbits of note:
Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick made another appearance for TNA tonight at the company’s house show in Rahway, New Jersey.
She, along with Cookie, escorted Robbie E to the ring for his triple threat match with Kazarian and Shannon Moore.
In a pre-match exchange on the microphone, Kazarian blasted Cookie and Angelina calling referring to them as byproducts of when a midget and a garden gnome have sex. Full report from that match here.
Pivarnick is currently training in Jersey at the Independent Wrestling Federation.

The in-ring debut of Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick this past Thursday on Impact proved to be a dud in the ratings. Pivarnick’s match, which saw her team with Cookie and Sarita against The Beautiful People and Winter, scored the lowest quarter hour of the entire show at just a 1.12, according to ProWrestling.net. Angelina’s … Read more
So last week, we saw a monstrosity of a wedding that never should have happened in the first place. I mean, who renews their vows after only six months of marriage? Exactly. We also saw the continuing battle between Velvet Sky and Sarita which turned into a fist pumping party for Angelina from the Jersey Shore. This week, we’ve got that oh so awaited six way match featuring Miss Pavarnick as well as another installment in the Madison Rayne Open Challenge series. I know you’ve waited a week for it. Don’t lie. So grab a slice of humble pie, this show is about to get interesting.
Our first glimpse into Knockout beauty comes in the form of a backstage segment between The Beautiful People, Velvet Sky and Angelina Love. They are seen sitting down, lacing up their boots for their six way tag match later in the evening. They’re talking about the Jersey Shore girls and how they just can’t get enough of TBP. Naturally, as if on cue, the trio of Angelina Pavarnick, Cookie and Sarita come strolling in, much to the delight of Vel Vel and A. Love who have them confused with the football team. I’ll admit. I choked on my sweet tea. Anyway, Angelina from the Shore, tells the entire room to shut the f*** up and states that Jersey girls tell someone they’re gonna kick their ass before they actually do it. Really? Is it that important that it deserves a pre-notification? She claims it is proper etiquette and she’s going to embarass them in front of their whole crew. Who that crew is, I have no idea.
It’s been brought to my attention that since the Elimination Chamber, SmackDown doesn’t really have a clear cut storyline for their Divas. Other than the Lay-Cool teased tension, nothing has happened for anyone unless they’re named Layla or Michelle McCool. Other Divas have of course had supporting roles in this storyline and this week, it was NXT season three winner, Kaitlyn, who got a chance to take a backseat to Lay-Cool. Kaitlyn has rarely been seen since winning NXT3 a few months ago so it will be interesting to see how far she’s come, if at all. Lets take a look at how it all plays out this week.
Lay-Cool are out first. Michelle seems to have gotten a new weave and Layla’s outfit doesn’t look like an eyesore this week. Michelle, however, is not at her fashion best and I just can’t get behind the LBD/camel-colored boot combo. We are off and running, right? This is and always will be the Real Wrestling Fan’s guide to SmackDown. Kaitlyn out second with her own theme song and video. The song is horrendous but her new ring gear compliments her curves nicely; still hating on her hair. She gets a thunderous pop being the hometown gal and all, and it’s just nice to see her on SmackDown for a change.
Looking like a modern day version of the Oddities, Natalya teamed up with two of Raw’s behemoths — The Great Khali and Mark Henry — to take on her recent rival Melina and her partners, William Regal and someone that Miss Neidhart is very familiar with: Tyson Kidd.
With two members of the now defunct Hart Dynasty in this match on opposing teams, this match certainly had some intrigue about it. Check it out below:
It’s the Divas who kick things off in this match as the former champions lock up but almost instantly, Natalya rolls up the A-Lister but it’s not going to be that easy! Melina kicks out at one.
The Latina shows some of that spicy temperament as they lock up again and Melina slams Nattie down to the canvas by her hair. Adding the exclamation point, she lets out one of her patented wild screams in Natalya’s direction.
Pro-Wrestling: EVE has released its fourth DVD – ‘Empire Strikes Back: Final Chapter’. The show was filmed last October and features a 10-woman ‘3 Minute Warning’ match and a rematch between Jenny Sdjodin and April Davids from the very first EVE DVD.

Diva Dirt has a lot of exclusive news and notes coming out of WSU’s 4th Anniversary Show last weekend.
* The iPPV is said to have been a big success and was the best selling WSU iPPV so far and even exceeded the allotted bandwidth.
* TNA Knockout, Cookie was backstage. Apparently she was going to appear on the show as a surprise but TNA pulled her off at the last minute.
* I’m told former WWE Women’s Champion, Ivory, was a big hit with the roster. A lot of the girls asked for pictures with her and she watched the entire show from the audience. When it came time for her spot during the Spirit Championship mach, the whole roster was said to have been watching from backstage.
* Brittney Savage and Mercedes Martinez were considered to be locks for WWE Tough Enough which is why they were booked as having their belts in jeopardy going into the show. The rumor is that WWE nixed the list which was put together by the production company behind the show, Shed Media. The original line-up had names such as Savage, Martinez as well as Austin Aries, JD Maverick and others.
Week two of women’s wrestling season sees NCW Femmes Fatales return to action tomorrow night in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The line-up will see the debuts of Ayako Hamada and Allison Danger as well as returning stars including champion LuFisto, Cheerleader Melissa and plenty of other names.

Spoilers for Friday’s SmackDown:
As well as Tenille, whose signing we broke earlier today, Diva Dirt has confirmed that another female wrestler — also trained by Lance Storm — has been signed by WWE.
The latest signee’s name is Irena Janjic and according to the Storm Wrestling Academy website, she is from Bosnia.
I’m told she is a little greener in the ring compared to Tenille.
She too will feature in the ‘World of Hurt’ documentary series that will air in Canada from May, along with Tenille. The show, which was filmed prior to both ladies signing with WWE, follows Storm’s advance training class at SWA.
According to Lance Storm’s official website, Irena was signed before Tenille, who won her contract by impressing at an FCW tryout camp this past week.
