Mr. Glamazon’s Hitting the Ropes (Issue #20) – The 12 Divas of Christmas

by

I have a lot of names on my Christmas list this year.  I have been working for Diva Dirt for close to a year now and it’s time to square up and show my gratitude to the hard working women who get up every day and try to entertain their fans around the world.  To show my appreciation I am going to brave the crowds and pick them out some great gifts.  Let me grab my Neil Diamond Christmas CD and we’ll head to the mall (by the way, has any Jewish artist NOT made a Christmas CD?)

So the Christmas season is here and I have to admit I’m pretty excited.  Not because of the upcoming Slammy Awards (which I do enjoy by the way, though sadly I can’t remember who won the 2008 “Diva of the Year”.)  No, I really look forward to this time of year because now I’m a part of all of this. Santa Claus, the carols, the presents, the tinsel, the tree, the stockings.  Since getting married in 1999 my wife has educated me on the importance of the holiday season, of all the things we need to do to satisfy our Christmas traditions each year.  She grew up with fun Christmas memories and now it is important to her we pass those down to our children.

My wife’s favorite holiday tradition is putting up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving because God forbid we just sit around, relax, watch football, and recover from our huge turkey dinner.  But I don’t really complain.  Like I said, I really am just excited to be a part of all this Christmas stuff.  Growing up Jewish I always felt like I was missing out. If Christmas was just December 25th that would be one thing, but Christmas is obviously an entire season.  As a Jewish boy this was challenging, especially growing up in a community with very little Jewish influence.  Being one of the only Jewish kids in your neighborhood makes you feel like everyone else is having a party…and you’re not invited.

Raw Redux (November 29th, 2010): Santino Strikes Again

by

Last week, Natalya asserted her dominance over the Divas division in a unbeweavable singles match against the feisty Alicia Fox. This week she leads the team of Gail Kim and Melina against Alicia, Maryse and Tamina. Will she be able to be victorious once again? Check out the match below:\

Out first is the heel team and we are treated to a replay of the odd, yet entertaining exchange between Tamina and Santino. I should have known this was a precursor to what was to come later in this match, but I ignored it. Silly me.

Out next is the babyface team, who get a pretty good reaction from the crowd. After the obligatory posing to the crowd, the referee takes the belt from Nattie and starts the match with Melina and Maryse kicking things off for their respective teams. As we all know there’s no love lost between these two, so it was no surprise to see these two go toe to toe in the middle of the ring. In her usual cocky fashion, Maryse piefaced Melina, but gets a stiff forearm for her troubles. Melina mounts the French-Canadian beauty and they roll around for a bit, before Maryse manages to escape under the bottom rope.

NXT Predictions: Who Will Win… Kaitlyn or Naomi?

by

We are just a few hours away from the NXT season three finale where either Kaitlyn or Naomi will be crowned the first and only female winner of the show. Who will take the crown? The DD team weigh in…

Cryssi: First of all, I can’t believe that the season is finally coming to an end tonight. It’s been a long journey but here we are. In a season that started off with a rookie’s firing, we’ve had a lot of drama to say the least. I called it the very first week that Kaitlyn would be in the finals and likely win NXT. I’m sticking with that and predicting that she will emerge victorious tonight. That said, I truly hope the WWE does the right thing and gives the victory to Naomi. It’s your opinion on who deserves it more, but Naomi wasn’t consistently given the least amount to work with and I really feel that she needs the rub of being the NXT winner. It would finally give her a storyline, something she severely lacked throughout the course of this season, and SmackDown really needs the help right now.

David: I would be much more concerned about the outcome of NXT if only the winner could get added to the main roster, but as we have seen from Seasons 1 and 2 the exposure on the show has resulted in several male wrestlers finding good storylines on television each week. I think both Kaitlyn and Naomi will be added to the roster, and hopefully AJ as well, as I think all three would add a new dynamic to the Divas division. I am not as opposed to Kaitlyn as many fellow readers; I think she has a good look and the potential to be a solid contributor. Her storyline with Vickie was effective on the show and I think she is going to win this season, not because she is the “best wrestler” (that is Naomi hands-down) but because this is about “entertainment” and she will cause a stir if she wins. Naomi is going to be fine; she’s such a good wrestler she’ll settle in nicely by putting on great matches against the current Divas. Kaitlyn will win.

WSU Weekend Results & Other News, Plus Video Interviews

by

News and notes from WSU:

WSU, the leader in womens wrestling today, returned this past Saturday night for another “WSU On The Road” match, as WSU Spirit Champion & leader of the Cosmo Club, Brittney Savage w/Rick Cataldo successfully defended her WSU Spirit Championship against former Cosmo Club member, “The Original Soul Sister” Jana at an NYWC event in Deer Park, NY.

Jana, seeking revenge against her former associate, started the match fast and furious. Savage looked overwhelmed by her former charge, as Jana took out 7 months of built up frustration against the leader of the Cosmo Club.

Jana looked like she would become a two-time Spirit Champion, as Jana clamped in the Jana-vice. Savage, on the verge of tapping out, was saved by her right hand man (for lack of a better word), as Rick Cataldo ran in and distracted the referee.

Jana, upset that the ref was distracted by Cataldo, broke the hold and went to shut up Cataldo once and for all. While Jana was able to get satisfaction temporarily by going after Cataldo, this lapse in judgment due to her emotions, cost Jana, as this gave Savage time to recuperate.

With Savage getting her senses back, Savage was able to catch Jana with her new finishing move, a bulldog turned backbreaker. Savage won the match via pinfall, but the war between the Cosmo Club and Jana is far from over.

As you’ll see below, Jana went to attack the Cosmo Club after the match in the parking lot. While The Cosmo Club got away, Jana now turns her sights on her former tag partner, Cindy Rogers on 12/11 in a Submission match. For Savage, Savage retains the WSU Spirit Championship, a championship that has seemingly become synonomous with Brittney Savage.

Diva Dirt to Honor Trish Stratus with First Ever ‘Legacy Award’

by

Diva Dirt has launched its very own award and we’re very excited to honor the all-time Diva great, Trish Stratus as the first ever recipient! Full details below:

Diva-Dirt.com (Diva Dirt) is extremely pleased to announce today the launch of the ‘Diva Dirt Legacy Award’ with multi-time WWE Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus, set to be honored as the first recipient.

The annual ‘Legacy Award’ will honor the career achievements of select talented and exceptional female professional wrestlers.

“This award is our way of saying ‘thank you’ for the years of entertainment that these women have provided fans across the world,” said Diva Dirt’s Editor-in-Chief, Melanie Rob. “Women’s wrestling may be a niche, but these women work just as hard as male wrestlers and the sacrifices they make for our enjoyment, such as injuries, are real. This is our salute to you.”

The first recipient of the ‘Legacy Award’ is a woman who is synonymous with women’s wrestling. A seven-time WWE Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus broke barriers for women in the wrestling industry during her tenure with WWE from 2000 through to 2006. Not relying solely on her obvious beauty, Stratus matched her looks with a strong in-ring repertoire, charming wit and personality, as well as a shrewd business sense. Her countless accomplishments include a record-breaking seven reigns as Women’s Champion, being voted WWE’s ‘Babe of the Year’ by the fans three years in a row, and receiving the highly acclaimed ‘Diva of the Decade’ award. Throughout her career, Stratus participated in numerous high-profile matches and storylines, including a Women’s Championship match as the main-event on Raw, as well as multiple WrestleMania matches.

A Pocket Volcano’s Eruption (Issue #1) – An Ode to a Scream Queen

by

Greetings and salutations everyone! When the offer was made to Diva Dirt’s team members to come up with their own articles, I hopped on this bandwagon. I love to write, and what better way to share my thoughts and opinions on female wrestling? (The title of my articles came from a friend – he thinks of me as a volcano and this sprung to mind. I like it!) I struggled to come up with a subject for my first column, and it struck me whilst watching a match on SHIMMER Volume 14. I’m going to take this opportunity to fully expound on exactly why I idolize one wrestler in particular.

My number one is a peculiar choice, as there are others who are more technically skilled in the ring (as she, herself, would most likely agree), or others whose resume is filled with accolades and belts. However, this woman grabbed my attention the very first time I saw her on my television. I’ve followed her career through its ups and downs, its highs and lows. Her perseverance and good spirit is refreshing in a business that can chew you up and spit you out. Who is this lady? Read on…

SmackDown Redux (November 26th, 2010): Black Friday is Dark Indeed for Michelle McCool

by

The moment we had all been waiting for finally happened at Survivor Series last Sunday. Natalya defeated Lay-Cool (Layla and Michelle McCool) to become the new Diva’s Champion and Beth Phoenix made her highly anticipated return. The possibilities of a Natalya title reign are endless, and there are some mouth watering match-ups in there to boot. But first, we have to concentrate on SmackDown and after Nattie basically sent Lay-Cool packing on Raw, the egotistical devious duo were not in great moods. Michelle took on Kelly Kelly in a singles match. Lets go see how it worked out.

Lay-Cool’s music is playing as SmackDown comes back from a break or something. Both Layla and Michelle have microphones, and Michelle is dressed to wrestle. She says that Lay-Cool’s music needs to be cut and mentions that neither she nor her BFF are in the mood for shenanigans tonight. Layla believes that she’s currently having the worst week ever and Michelle claims that Natalya has stolen the Diva’s Championship which is apparently property of Lay-Cool. They insult Natalya and complain about what happened on Monday night. Neither are amused that Natalya had them kicked out of Raw. Lay-Cool say that they hate Raw and then begin to talk about how beautiful the people of Jacksonville, Florida are.

Impact Write-Up (November 25, 2010): It’s a Thanksgiving Miracle! Sarita Stuns the Champ

by

Last night’s Impact had a smorgasboard of Knockouts all over the place! Apparently the holiday spirit hadn’t infected these ladies just yet as they were all set on beating the hell outta each other. Which made for some great television! Find out what happened below…

Backstage, we see Angelina Love and Velvet Sky chattering by a food table, discussing their individual action figures, which are in their hands. Ric Flair walks up, inviting them both to Fortune/Immortal’s Thanksgiving party. He promised the guys he’d bring back candy (I’d be pulling out the mace at that point…) and Angelina grins, saying, “Eye candy?” They seem to be interested, when Mickie James walks up, wanting to speak to Angelina. She extends a hand, thanking the blonde for a great match last week. Velvet interrupts, putting her hands over Angelina’s ears, singing. Mickie gives her a look, “What are you, 12?” In response, Angelina holds up her action figure, extends the tiny hand, and says, “Talk to the hand.”

TNA Xplosion Watch (November 24, 2010): When Former Partners Collide

by

On this week’s TNA Xplosion, we see another collision between former tag team partners Sarita and Taylor Wilde. The former has been on a winning streak as of late, can she continue it? Or will one half of the current tag team champions stop Sarita cold? Find out below…

First out is Sarita, in an orange, blue and black outfit. Looks good on her. Cocky as ever, she makes her way into the ring. Next out is Taylor Wilde and she’s ditched the skirt and skimpy bikini top in favor of more proper looking gear coloured blue and yellow. Nice!
