Raw Redux (August 1st, 2011): Beth Turns Heel While Vickie Continues to Bring the Fierce

When Raw has a good showing three important things happen; angels start to sing, a unicorn sprouts fairy wings and begins to fly, and I get to write a happy Redux. Last night, Raw had a good showing, and I found myself incredibly excited to talk about the show, and write about it. So lets … Read more

SmackDown Redux (July 29th, 2011): The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same

SmackDown is starting to become hit or miss when it comes to Diva matches, but this week we were lucky enough to get one… even if it was the same match we’ve seen several times in the the past. This week. Alicia Fox, who has been on quite the winning streak as of late, leads … Read more

Raw Redux (July 18th, 2011): 45 Seconds of Pure Diva Action… Heck Yes!

Sigh. Well, this week’s Redux is going to be short, sweet, and to the point. Even I can’t work magic from a 45 second encounter. For some ungodly reason, the WWE decided to throw all the Divas onto the show and we got a ridiculous seven Diva tag match. All I can say is thank … Read more

FCW Watch: Aksana vs Kaitlyn

This week, FCW continues to showcase their Divas division with a match to be contested for the coveted Divas Championship. Reigning champion, and everyone’s favorite Lithuanian, Aksana, defends her gold against the winner of NXT Season 3, and SmackDown Diva, Kaitlyn. Can Aksana’s reign of dominance be stopped?

Saturday night, I attended another FCW Show, and as always, it was a great time. Before the show, I got to meet Kaitlyn and just as I was literally stepping out the door to leave, I spotted Maxine and also got to meet her. Both of them were great to talk to and it was … Read more

WWE Superstars Redux (June 30th, 2011): Styles Clashes

For the second week in a row, WWE Superstars is treating us to two Divas matches. Last week, I loved the double dose of Divas. Will this week’s slate of matches match up to that? Let’s watch: We start off the show with Beth Phoenix vs. Gail Kim, a match many have been waiting to … Read more

WWE Superstars Redux (June 23rd, 2011): Buy One, Get One Free

Wow, two matches on one show? How did we get so lucky? No, that’s not sarcasm. I’m genuinely pleased that there are two Divas matches on WWE Superstars this week, mostly because of the show’s reputation for producing longer, better Divas matches. Let’s see if these two matches deliver: We start off with a 6-Diva … Read more

SmackDown Redux (June 17th, 2011): Two Minutes of Wrestling Is Better Than A Chorus Line

Yes… I went there.

I think it’s fair to say that this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw was nothing more than a big ole mess. Fourteen divas, one ring, and no time is never a good combination but when things end up with a chorus line or a kick line, or whatever the hell you want to call it, it’s just not good for anyone involved. I can only thank the wrestling gods high in squared circle heaven for sparing at least seven of the girls the utter humiliation of just looking dumb. As far as the other seven… well, at least three of them got a chance to redeem themselves on SmackDown. The war between the heels and the faces continued on this Friday and we finally got our six Diva tag team match. Natalya joined her rookie pals, AJ and Kaitlyn, to take on Tamina, Alicia Fox, and Rosa Mendes. Will the heels reign supreme or will the faces carrying their kick line momentum to another victory?

Like usual, we kick things off with the entrances and rather than just letting us see the face entrance, we get the heel entrance this week as well. Alicia, Tamina, and Rosa come out to Alicia’s music and they stand in the ring with their bitch faces on while the faces make their way to the ring. I also thank the wrestling gods for not letting me hear AJ’s theme again, and if all she ever does is tag with and use Natalya’s music from here on out… I’m okay with that. Anyway, the faces pose for the crowd and it’s decided that Alicia and Kaitlyn will begin.

Raw Redux (June 13th, 2011): A Chorus Line… Seriously?

This week on a special three hour edition of Raw, all the Divas from SmackDown and Raw are coming together for a good ol’ fashioned 7-on-7 tag team match. Judging from past experiences, this should be quite… er, interesting… Watch below as Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix, Eve, Gail Kim, Natalya, AJ and Kaitlyn take on … Read more

Report & Pictures from FCW’s Live Event in Port Charlotte (Saturday, June 4th)

On Saturday night I attended my 6th event at FCW (7th, possibly 8th coming up in the next 2 months due to Melina and Natalya signings). Even though the Divas didn’t compete in a match, it was my favorite of all 6 trips I’ve taken. When the doors opened at around 6 pm, I went … Read more

SmackDown Redux (June 3rd, 2011): Tamina Win Match For Heels

This week’s episode of SmackDown brought us a rematch of sorts from last week. The ChickBusters (Kaitlyn and AJ), with Natalya at their side, took on Team Heel featuring Alicia Fox and Tamina. The most notable difference this week is that the heels countered Natalya’s presence by adding the rarely seen Rosa Mendes to ringside (I guess she is heel again). Will Rosa’s presence bring anything to the match? Will AJ and Kaitlyn pull out the victory this week? Will Alicia continue to just be the fiercest Diva ever? Lets stop wasting time and find out.

When SmackDown returns from what I can only assume has been a commercial break, A-Fox’s music is playing in the background and the so-called bad girls of SmackDown are posing in the ring. It’s only a few seconds later that Alicia’s theme fades and Natalya’s begins to blare across the PA system. Dressed in the most gorgeous sequined mini I’ve ever seen on SmackDown, Nattie leads her rookies out onto the stage. Kaitlyn and AJ look ready for battle and they all head to the ring. Much like last week, a backstage video begins playing while this is going on.

SmackDown Redux (May 27th, 2011): AJ Debuts In The Most Lugubrious Way

Earlier this week, SmackDown Diva Layla made an announcement that she was going to have surgery to repair two injuries; a torn MCL and a torn ACL. That announcement just happened to coincide with the debut of a new Diva at Tuesday’s tapings, former Queen of FCW and third place NXTS3 rookie, AJ. A lot of people have been awaiting the arrival of the spunky life-long pro wrestling fan and it’s unfortunate that her debut has to happen right as Layla goes out from an injury. Whether AJ was brought up to take Layla’s place, I don’t know. But what I do know is that AJ’s debut was a rather dismal one. She teamed up with NXT winner and BFF, Kaitlyn, to take on the team of Alicia Fox and Tamina. Birthday girl, Natalya, was at ringside with the faces. Lets take a look at what went down.

Tonight we begin things with Alicia and Tamina in the ring.

Random Thought: I can only assume that Tamina and her cave-woman attire are heels by default now due to the severe lack of them on the blue brand, but who knows? Maybe Rosa won the coin toss this week and didn’t have to play the heel?

Unwrapped (April 30th, 2011): Eve, Kaitlyn, Maryse, Mickie & Winter


Every week, following WWE.com and TNAWrestling.com’s photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva and Knockout shoots and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on them in a feature we lovingly call Unwrapped. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy, featuring Eve Torres, Kaitlyn, Maryse, Mickie James and Winter:


Eve Torres
Rarely does lying around make for a satisfying photoshoot, but Eve achieves that here. She sits on a blood red booth, surrounded by what looks like hockey memorabilia. It’s a bit of an unorthodox surrounding, and part of me think there’s something lacking from the shoot, but that just may be the disconnect in Eve wearing a fancy outfit to hang out with sports memorabilia. Speaking of her outfit, it and her hair work together for a beautifully sleek look and the criss-crosses on her skirt are hypnotizing, but not overwhelming, thanks to the limited color scheme. Her poses are varied, but simple–she mostly smiles and relaxes in the booth. It’s a bit of an odd shoot, altogether. Still, somehow, she pulls it off, looking quite casually beautiful.

Kaitlyn
The main point of interest in this shoot, for me, is Kaitlyn’s hair. It’s dyed in completely opposite tones and, though I’ve definitely seen this technique done badly, I like it on her. It gives her an edge that the blonde hair just wouldn’t do, and it certainly makes her stand out amongst the other WWE blondes. That’s something she can use, given that she’s yet to develop a character as a Diva. Not that she can build a character as “the girl with the duo-toned hair”, but it helps in this instance. Her dress, with the details on the shoulders, adds interest as well, but I think it’s a wee bit short, a few of the poses making me double-check to make sure she’s fully covered. Those poses, by and large, are not all that interesting, but I like that for at least one she pulled out something different, posing on her hands and knees, showing off her sculpted arms and curvy figure in a way that’s more intriguing for what it doesn’t show rather than what it does.

Unwrapped (April 3rd, 2011): Bella Twins, Kaitlyn & Rosa


Every week, following WWE.com and TNAWrestling.com’s photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva and Knockout shoots and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on them in a feature we lovingly call Unwrapped. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy, featuring Brie and Nikki Bella, Kaitlyn and Rosa Mendes:


Brie & Nikki Bella
To match their attitudes, the Bellas are wearing black dresses. To show a slight difference in personality, their styles are different: Nikki’s sporting a tighter dress, messy hair and leopard print tights while Brie’s dress has a fuller, frillier skirt and her tights are solid. It shows that they’ve put some thought into their outfits and I like that. After all, they don’t have to be clones of each other, even if they are both heels. Their poses are more serious and seductive, and it makes the photos look much less staged–I think I’m so used to them doing cutesy twin poses that I’m surprised at how interesting a photo with them just standing next to each other can be. They let their personalities show. When I’ve complained about their more gimmicky photoshoots, this was what I was asking for: simplicity. Here, the Bellas show that they’re more than capable of making ‘simple’ look interesting.

Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn looks perfectly relaxed and comfortable in her poses, but perhaps too comfortable. They’re not very diverse, and make for a rather dull photoshoot. Wearing a frilly top and leopard print skirt was probably an effort to bring interest to the shoot, but it’s not enough. There’s just an obvious lack of personality in the photos, and while that may be due to the fact that Kaitlyn hasn’t really developed a character, this photoshoot is just rather lifeless. It reminds me of the early photoshoots from Kaitlyn’s fellow NXT rookies: pretty, but boring. I know she’s capable of pulling off interesting shoots, because her first full WWE photoshoot as a Diva had me hooked. This one must be her sophomore slump.

SmackDown Redux (March 11th, 2011): Welcome Back to SmackDown, Kaitlyn

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.

Unwrapped: Kaitlyn’s No Photoshoot Rookie


View Kaitlyn’s photoshoot by clicking here.

Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every Thursday, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy..

NXT Season 3 winner Kaitlyn is finally emerging in the “big time” SmackDown, so it’s fitting that this week she’s premiered her first official photoshoot as a Diva. It may look familiar to you (actually it should look familiar), since photos from the studio portion of the shoot were released at the beginning of her NXT run. However, there’s still enough new stuff to unwrap..

The Look: Okay, so this outfit is nothing new–it dates back to the NXT rookies’ first photoshoots, so your reaction’s down to whether you liked it or not way back then. In terms of wrestling gear, I like it–it’s tough, with its black leather top and boots, but it’s cut the right way to fulfill the sexiness quota it seems like every Diva’s gear has to reach. Not to mention, it highlights her two most flattering features: her sculpted arms and legs. This gives Kaitlyn her own signature look, with the top and shorts being the base of it. I like this shoot’s version a lot more than some of her other variations of the look–I wasn’t a fan of the denim and cheetah print one. The black and dark camouflage print looks a lot sleeker, and I have to say the camo shorts are a lot more flattering than those skin-tight, ovary-crushing denim shorts.

The Poses: Kaitlyn exudes a calm, confident manner throughout the entire shoot, her poses relaxed. I like it, as it feels real and not as put-on as the more smiley, happy poses other Divas may utilize. Her poses next to the steel beam are particularly interesting. While these poses aren’t all that different from the ones from her other shoots, you have to consider that they were all probably taken around the same time, when she wasn’t exactly in the flow of WWE photoshoots yet. Even so, I really like the feel of this photoshoot.
