Stars of the Week: Week of January 3rd, 2011

by

It’s time to hand out some proverbial gold stars! Based on the week’s TV and news, each of the Diva Dirt team members have picked one female who they deem to be their ‘Star of the Week’. Read below…

April: My star for this week is Velvet Sky. True, she lost her tag match this week but she held her own and honestly impressed me. I think her feud with Sarita might actually go somewhere which gives me a new hope for the storyline. Velvet deserves a spotlight. She may not be the most skilled in-ring but she is an amazing character and she gives it all she can. I really look for her to shine this year.

Cryssi: My Star of the Week may surprise some people but to me it’s clearly a no brainer. Not only did this person look fierce on her respective show this week, but she showed just how influential she is to the superstars and Divas that surround her. This week, Vickie Guerrero vamped it up at the side of Dolph Ziggler and took over SmackDown in the absence of Teddy Long. Not only did she give Dolph a chance to win back the title he had just lost, but she gave him the biggest opportunity of his career thus far and he certainly capitalized and became the new number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. When it comes to delicious heels Vickie just can’t be touched and she was at her best on Friday night. And that my friends is why she’s my star of the week.

David: My Star of the Week is Kelly Kelly. I know, she lost to Michelle McCool on Friday Night SmackDown, but I am starting to really like what they are doing with her character. I have been critical of her previous spots with Drew McIntyre, but the WWE has stuck with them and I think the pairing is starting to show some chemistry. Even though Kelly was defeated Friday, I thought she took it right to both members of Lay-Cool and showed some interesting new offense. To me Lay-Cool’s “mean girls” act only works if you care about who is being bullied. As I was watching this week’s show I thought Kelly did a good job making me care about what happened to her, and I was even happy to see Drew come down to ringside to save her. I want emotion when I watch pro wrestling and I felt something this week. So well done Kelly.

SmackDown Redux (January 7th, 2011): Kelly Kelly Has a Knight in Tiny Black Trunks

by

Love is in the air as the first SmackDown of the new year graces our HD television screens and YouTube pages. The on-going saga of Kelly Kelly and Drew McIntyre continued on this week as Drew’s affection for Kelly burned bright. He begged her to support his actions in the ring and promised her that he would stand by her no matter what in a tumultuous attempt to win her love. Kelly, of course, remained hesitant and unsure as once again, Drew displayed how ferocious he is inside the ring in an unfortunate losing effort. If that unsettled Kelly, she didn’t show as she waged war with Lay-Cool member, Michelle McCool, in a glorious match that saw both Divas at their best. The ending for Kelly, well it wasn’t a storybook. Michelle’s partner-in-crime, Layla, teamed up with her bestie to harass Kelly at the end. But oh, surprise surprise. Miss Kelly Kelly had someone luscious come to her rescue.

Backstage Kelly Kelly, who looks strikingly like a real Barbie doll tonight, is stopped by who else but Drew McIntyre. He starts speaking to her in his sexy Scottish accent and as if my name was Kelly, I get goosebumps when her name is spoken. Drew says the he wanted to make sure he caught her before her match so he could wish her good luck. Kelly pulls back and just shakes her head. She doesn’t really believe he means that because with him, she can never tell. Drew reminds her that even though she doesn’t like the man she sees in the ring, wrestling is his whole lively hood. He says that tonight he has a chance to make his dreams come true because he will be competing in a number one contenders match.

That so worked out well for ya, didn’t it Drew?

Drew says that he isn’t looking for Kelly’s trust, he wants to earn that. But what he is asking from her is her support tonight because it’s the same support he plans on giving her. He wishes her good luck and Kelly smiles and thanks him. She walks off and Drew is left standing there like a love sick puppy.

Could he be any prettier? I’m just trying to find the good in this situation. Bear with me.

The match Drew eluded too would take place later on in the night. Ya know, after he lost to PERFECTION!

Impact Write-Up (January 6th, 2011): The Elbow of Tara Strikes Again!

by

Hello there! Welcome back to the official TNA Impact Write-Up! My name is April and I will be your sponsor this week. Call me should you feel yourself in doubt of your wrestling devotion. I’ll set you straight. Last week, we saw a snappy strap match between Velvet Sky and Sarita that left us all using our imaginations. We also saw Madison Rayne in her Viera Twang dress and accent that left us all doubled over. This week, we’ve got Knockouts action in form of a rather odd pair of teams set to settle the score. Follow along, my darlings!

Out first is the team of Madison Rayne and Sarita. Madison is escorted to the ring by her bodyguard, Tara on her crotch rocket while Sarita dances her way down the ring in a glow in the dark ensemble. I’d even go so far as to say it could be from the Jeff Hardy clothing collection. Not a fan, again. At least Madison got rid of her little beer wench skirt and gold panties, changing it up with a pair of cute matching pants. Note the funny moment here where Sarita does her little salsarita dance and gets huffy when Tara starts dancing with her. Haha. HARDCORE COUNTRY! Out next is Mickie James in her country couture, daisy dukes and plaid tie-off. She is set to team with the lovely Velvet Sky who makes her way out last in black and hot pink. I like the black chaps a lot better than the others. Freelance fashion aside, two somewhat unorthodox tag teams set to face off.

Starting this match out in true bitch manner, Velvet goes straight after Sarita as soon as the bell rings. Sarita tries to come back with a clothesline but Vel Vel ducks and shoves her down, rebounding off the ropes to come back with a low dropkick. Quick to get back on it, Velvet takes Sarita down with a knee smash to the face. A few slaps to the chest and Sarita flings Velvet into the ropes which brings Vel Vel back with a headscissors roll-up. One..two..and no prize pinning combination. Sarita kicks out but Velvet flips her right back over for another attempt. Sarita does her best to come back but one half of the founding Beautiful People is hellbent on taking the latina down. I like Vicious Velvet. I think it suits her.

‘Legacy Award’ Exclusive: A Salute to Trish Stratus in the Words of Her Peers

by

Last year, we announced the launch of the Diva Dirt Legacy Award, an annual prize that will honor the career achievements and legacies left behind by some of the industry’s finest female talents. Launched in conjunction with the Female Fight League, our first recipient was none other than the multi-talented 7-time Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus.

From her hard work in the ring, to her charm and charisma, her connection with the fans, as well as her shrewd business nature, Trish was — as good ol’ JR used to put it — the quintessential Diva during her seven years with WWE. No female in this industry has able to market themselves quite like Trish, who remains a hot commodity despite retiring nearly five years ago.

While we tip our hats to Trish by honoring her with this award, a few of Trish’s friends and colleagues wanted to join the celebration too!

Mickie James Featured in Richmond Magazine

by

TNA Knockout and former WWE Women’s Champion, Mickie James is featured in the latest issue of Richmond Magazine, based in her hometown of Richmond, Virginia.

The piece is an extremely well-written, in-depth article on James’ road to becoming a wrestler and does a great job in covering pretty much her entire career. Giving fans a look at the woman behind the wrestler, the piece also features comments from Mickie’s best friend and even TNA president Dixie Carter.

Perhaps most interestingly, is James telling a story of how she pitched a storyline to Vince McMahon directly before she was called up in 2005:

Finally, she’d had enough. Realizing she was lacking something the WWE wanted, James enrolled in acting and modeling classes. She also wrote a script — an ambitious storyline about an emotional female fan/stalker. WWE liked the idea and wanted their writers to develop it for another wrestler already in the TV stable, but in a gutsy move, James made an impassioned plea directly to WWE CEO Vince McMahon.

“I walked right into Vince’s office and I said, ‘Mr. McMahon, I heard you read my storyline, and I wanted you to know there’s nobody who can do that character better than me.’ ”

McMahon told her he respected her for having the courage to make the pitch to him.

Then another six months passed.

“I was like, ‘Oh, no, what did I do?’ ” James recalls.

Raw Redux (January 3rd, 2011): A New Raw Year’s Eve (Torres, That Is)

by

After a few altercations in the past two weeks, Natalya finally gets to have her way with Melina in a six Diva tag match on this week’s edition of Raw. Will Natalya get the last laugh or will the slap happy Melina take it to the champ once again? Watch below as Nattie, Eve and Brie Bella take on the team of Melina, Maryse and Alicia Fox:

The Divas segment starts off with a replay of the tension between the champ and the #1 contender, which segues nicely into the entrance of Melina’s team. After a quick commercial break, we come back to Nattie’s team in the ring. I can only speak for myself, but I was shocked and confused to see Brie Bella joining Nattie and Eve in this match. With their current storyline with Daniel Bryan, I would have thought there would have been some progression there and Gail Kim would be taking the #3 spot in this match. In any case, the official signals for the bell and Maryse and Brie kick things off for their respective teams.
