by

Tonight at Hell in a Cell, Michelle McCool and Natalya will do battle for the Unified Divas Championship, but it was back in 2008 that these two Divas faced each other for the opportunity to become the first ever Divas Champion and hold that butterfly belt. How things have changed in two years, right? McCool … Read more

Mr. Glamazon’s Hitting the Ropes: Glam Slam Mailbag #2 + First Glam Slam Reader Profile

by

It’s time for the second “Hitting the Ropes” Glam Slam mailbag!  I enjoyed writing the first one so much I thought I would make this a regular feature.  Thanks to all of you who submitted questions!

OK, let’s jump right in… 

Reader: madslam2009
“Who is your favorite TNA Knockout and what do you like about her?”

Mr. G – I really like the Beautiful People because I have always liked tag teams more than individual wrestlers (Fabulous Firebirds notwithstanding…) I like how they generate a lot of controversy and stay prominently involved in TNA’s storylines.  I admit they are not the most technical wrestlers in the world but that has never been my #1 concern.  I gravitate towards performers that I find “interesting”, and there really haven’t been many great female tag teams (although I would definitely put LayCool at the top of any short list).  I like that there have been several iterations of the Beautiful People, and I think they look great together, cut decent promos, and can carry themselves as faces or  heels.  My problem with TNA is the lack of interesting opponents for them to wrestler (I am not a big Tara fan) so I would welcome a feud with Mickie James upon her arrival to TNA.

SmackDown Redux (October 1st, 2010): Lay-Cool Preview A Natalya Filled Future. They Are Not Amused.

by

Last week on SmackDown there wasn’t really any Diva action so the Redux took a week off. But this week it’s back. SmackDown officially made its highly anticipated move to the SyFy network and to kick that off the show aired live. The Divas took part in an 8-Diva tag match. The team consisting of Natalya, Kelly Kelly, Brie Bella, and Nikki Bella took on the team of Michelle McCool, Layla, Maryse, and Alicia Fox. Lets take a look at the action!

The heel girls are out first and all of them are looking oh so fierce. Lay-Cool lead the way while Maryse and Alicia trail behind. They do their usual posing in the ring and then the face team come out. They’re led by Natalya. The faces are all decked out pink and black, showing their unity, and once all the shenanigans die down Kelly and Alicia begin the match. Alicia strikes the first blow with a kick to Kelly’s mid-section. She follows it up with a suplex attempt but Kelly wiggles out, slaps Alicia in the back, and both girls take each other down with a clothesline. Alicia holds her head in pain and makes the tag to Maryse. Kelly does the same and goes to her corner where she tags in Natalya.

Impact Write-Up (September 30, 2010): The Stage is Set

by

This week on TNA Impact, we are ten days away from Bound for Glory and have yet to hear a Knockouts match announced. All that changed tonight, with a meeting that Miss Tessmacher set up. On one side of the table you have Madison Rayne and Tara. On the other, you have Velvet Sky, Angelina Love and Lacey Von Erich. Can Miss Tessmacher keep the peace or will we see a table getting flipped, along with accusations of “PROSITITUION WHORE?” Find out below…

It appears as if the cameraman is being a peeping Tom, using jerky camera angles and ducking in and out of the doorway. The first face we see is Madison, who’s asking Miss Tessmacher who exactly is “on their way?” Bischoff’s assistant never reveals who else is coming to the meeting, but it should be obvious. Tessmacher informs both Rayne and Tara that they need to be on their best behavior since Bischoff has given her the power to fire all of them. The threats don’t sit too well with either woman, but it isn’t long until a door opens and in comes Lacey Von Erich, Velvet Sky and Angelina Love. Cue cries of, “What’re you doing here?!?” (apparently the latter three women were clueless as well – doesn’t TNA send out memos about staff meetings? Sheesh!) and Lacey throwing something at Madison, screaming, “You stupid bitch!” Go Lacey!

Triple Threat Dream Match & Layla’s Big Win Make SmackDown ‘Best of’ DVD

by

Two Divas matches have made the cut for the ‘Best of SmackDown: 2009-2010’ DVD due for release later this month.

The first, a triple threat dream match of sorts between Beth Phoenix, Mickie James and Natalya from last December will be featured as will Layla‘s big Women’s Championship victory from May this year.

For full listings and DVD cover art, click here.

I know it’s a segment and not a match, but frankly, I feel the fantastic ‘Mickie James Going Away Party‘ from January should be on this DVD. That was an extremely impactful, poignant segment with great acting by all involved (especially former Diva Maria Kanellis) and showed that the Divas can carry segments. It’s a shame that it wasn’t included.

Relive both of the selected matches after the cut:

WWE Superstars Redux (September 30th, 2010): Twintuition Comes Through Again

by

The Divas return to WWE Superstars as The Bella Twins take on Alicia Fox and Jillian. Check it out below:

Alicia (accompanied by NXT Rookie, Maxine) with her Tina Turner esque outfit, and Jillian are the first tag team to make their way down to the ring. Jillian, of course, begins to speak to the audience about the laryngitis rumor being completely untrue and tries very hard to prove it to those watching by showing off her redonkulous singing skills. Her song of choice? “Love the Way You Lie” by Eminem and Rihanna.

This may be my very first time being excited to see the Bellas. My ears are thanking them for interrupting the drowning cat… err, I mean Jillian. They are accompanied by their NXT Rookie, Jamie, looking prepared for a war with their camouflage get up. Can’t say I’m a fan of the curtain like material covering their boots, though.

Alicia is in the ring to start the match with Bella #1. Bear with me, you guys. I have no idea which twin it is and of course Cole & King didn’t bother to help. Alicia and Bella #1 lock up before Alicia pushes her off. Alicia tries to go after her with the clothesline, but she is monkey flipped by Bella #1. Numero uno delivers a couple of forearms to the face of Alicia, who tries to counter by ramming her head into the turnbuckle, but Bella #1 is able to block it with her foot and throws Alicia into the turnbuckle face first. She gives Alicia a kick in the gut for good measure before tagging in Bella #2.

ROH Recap (September 27th, 2010): Daizee Haze vs Rachel Summerlyn

by

This week on ROH, Daizee Haze faces off against Rachel Summerlyn. Check it out below:


Skip to 04:00 minute mark

After both women make their way to the ring, they graciously shake hands as the referee calls for the bell. They briefly circle the ring before Daizee secures Rachel into a side head lock. Rachel then slowly backs her up into the turnbuckle, forcing Daizee to break the hold before hitting her with a back elbow. Rachel tries to take advantage of the cheap shot by running to the other turnbuckle and then charging back at Daizee, who gets her feet into the air and knock Rachel down. Daizee gives Rachel time to gather herself and tries to go after her before being taken down by a drop told hold.

Rachel then applies a headlock of her own to Daizee. They both get to their feet when Daizee tries to squat down and break the hold, but Rachel counters it into a wristlock. She is able to keep the hold on for about a minute before Daizee does a front roll and reverses the wrist lock on to Rachel. She then twists Rachel’s arm and flips her on her back while keeping the arm hold applied. Daizee switches the hold to where she is able to put more pressure on the upper arm of Rachel before putting her in another headlock.

NXT Redux (September 28th, 2010): The Most Ridiculously Pointless Episode of NXT Ever!

by

Previously on NXT…

Lay-Cool paid a visit to their old stomping grounds and literally stomped the crap right out of Kaitlyn. AJ continued to roll and secure her status as fan favorite of season three. Naomi gave us all hope that the Diva future is bright when she squared off against Michelle McCool as part of the six-woman tag team match main event. Kelly Kelly went ghetto when she stepped up and challenged Lay-Cool on behalf of Naomi and Jamie. Aksana revealed a huge secret to Goldust about how good her chances were of being deported and how she would get beat with a shovel if she returned home. And the best part of the show, CM Punk stepped up and blessed the WWE Universe with his brilliant commentary.

Will these storylines continue? And more importantly, will Punk keep his promise to remain on commentary?

This week NXT begins in it’s typical fashion. The four pros in attendance (Vickie Guerrero, Alicia Fox, Primo Colon, and Kelly Kelly) are sitting on the stage and the handsome Matt Striker (dressed in an amazing Argyle pullover sweater) introduces the rookies. Aksana, AJ, Kaitlyn, Jamie, Naomi, and Maxine make their way out and Striker says that the competition is now starting to heat up. He announces that Wednesday, starting at noon, the WWE Universe can vote along with the pros for their favorite rookie Diva. Striker makes his way down the ramp while speaking and tells us that being a WWE Diva means you have to have athleticism. He stops in front of a shiny, red wheelbarrow.

Each Diva has to take the wheelbarrow and run around the ring. Whichever Diva has the fastest time will win the competition. The rookie Diva with the most challenge wins will have immunity from next week’s elimination. Maxine is called to the starting line first. She gets ready to take off but that naughty tease in the argyle suggests that the wheelbarrow should have something in it. He takes a shot at Michael Cole in the process.
