January 26, 2011 by Melanie

Former Divas Champion, Michelle McCool spoke to her official site MichelleMcCool.net recently in celebration of her 31st birthday and revealed a few noteworthy tidbits in the interview.

McCool revealed her recent neck injury, a bulging disc between her C5 and C6 vertebrae. Michelle said:

I did have two bulging disc in my neck (between C5 & C6). I’m not sure exactly when it occurred or if it just happened as a result of constant wear and tear, but boy did it hurt! It was probably the worst, pain wise, at Hell in a Cell. I remember barely being able to move my neck at all. It was so bad that day (& about 4-5 days after) that I couldn’t even bend my head down far enough to scratch my forehead. I was diagnosed the following Tuesday after HIAC when I had an MRI. I took it easy in the ring for a few weeks after.

She also commented on the tables match last December between herself, Layla and Natalya & Beth Phoenix.

Raw Redux (January 24th, 2011): Melina Bent in Half, Bella Twins Bent Out of Shape

April 19, 2019January 25, 2011 by Steven

After a confusing edition of Raw last week, WWE had a lot of work to do to get everyone on the same page again. Luckily for us, WWE managed to work almost every Diva (Sorry Eve) into the show and it worked out really well. First up, Melina cashes in her title shot, squaring off with Natalya for the Divas Championship. Check out the match below:

Out first is the challenger, Melina, minus red carpet and paparazzi. Next, Natalya makes her way to the ring, championship belt in tow. The official presents the belt to the audience, signals for the bell and our match is underway. The lovely ladies lock up and Melina gets the upper hand, forcing Natalya to the ropes. The referee breaks them up, but Melina tackles Nattie, sending her flying out of the ring. Melina picks Nattie up off the floor, slaps her across the face (Just one of many slaps to come tonight) and tosses her back in the ring.

WSU News & Notes Coming out of Final Chapter iPPV Last Night, Plus Thoughts on the Show

February 18, 2011January 23, 2011 by Melanie

In case you missed last night’s WSU iPPV, Final Chapter, chances are you missed out on an incredible main event. More on that at the end of this article. But for now, here are some exclusive news and notes we have coming out of the iPPV last night.

* Mercedes Martinez bore the brunt of the injuries coming out of the ladder match with Angel Orsini. Thankfully, nothing too bad. Just some cuts to her fingers, wrist and back. She will miss no ring time.

* With Martinez’s status up in the air over the past couple of months (it had been expected that she would sign with AAA in Mexico), WSU’s plan to have Alicia cash in her ‘any time, anywhere’ contract at the end of the show and take the belt. Obviously, that didn’t happen although Alicia teased it. As Martinez won’t be heading to Mexico, the decision was made to keep the belt on her.

* The All Guts, No Glory Championship will be done away with and Mercedes will simply go by ‘WSU World Champion’.

Live Coverage of WSU Final Chapter iPPV: January 22nd, 2011

January 23, 2011January 22, 2011 by Melanie

Diva Dirt presents live play-by-play from WSU’s Internet pay per view, Final Chapter, taking place live from the ACE Arena in New Jersey. Stay tuned for a full report (and sarcastic opinion) from the pay per view.

Pay per view begins with a video package of the feud between Mercedes Martinez and Angel Orsini.

Inside the arena, there are three ladders set up and the two main event ladies are brought out to the ring for the opening segment.

Orsini says she only cares about keeping her All Guts, No Glory belt and winning back the WSU World Championship. Martinez says she’ll climb the ladder and grab both titles. She says that Orsini deserves respect and she understands her frustration, but her reign as AGNG Champ ends tonight.

The two women climb the ladder and hang up their belts, where they will hang for the remainder of the evening until the main event.

The women now stare down in the middle of the ring and trash talk before exiting.

The ring is being cleared of the ladders as we await our first match of the evening.

We are kicking off with Niya vs Athena.

There’s a mix up by the ring announcer as Niya is announced first but it’s actually Athena who comes out. Athena attacks Niya with a kick to the face as she makes her entrance and the match is under way.

Athena vs Niya
Niya hits a side-headlock on Athena, surprising Niya. She plays it up to the crowd and the referee before they begin battling again. Athena and Niya lock up and Niya applies an armlock. Athena with a front headlock but Niya reverses. Athena fights back and re-applies the front headlock and then goes for an arm lock. Niya rolls through and goes for a pin but Athena kicks out.

SmackDown Redux (January 21st, 2011): Actions Speak Louder Than Words

April 19, 2019January 22, 2011 by Cryssi

Last week, I proudly presented each and every one of you with the good, the bad, and the ugly of SmackDown. This week, we’re not going to be so fancy because not a lot happened. We had the usual continuation and follow-up, which is more than what happens on Raw so no complaints, please. Beth took on the other member of Lay-Cool in a singles match while one reader’s prediction of a Drew/Kelly/Trent love triangle may actually end up coming true. Let’s kick things off this week with the match featuring Beth Phoenix and Layla

SmackDown’s fierce duo make their way to the ring first. Michelle McCool is dressed to thrill in a gorgeous grey mini and boots, while Layla is rocking purple better than anyone I’ve ever seen in my life. So jealous. The girls have their Slammys and confident looks on their faces despite Michelle having lost to Beth on last week’s episode. They play to the crowd and to each other, and Beth’s music starts up. The Glamazon walks to the ring with a smile etched across her lovely face. Upon seeing her opponent, Layla’s look of confidence kind of dissipates. After Beth flips onto the mat, she eyes up Layla, and the match gets underway.
