Big Name from the Past at Axxess Today, Hall of Famer Appeared Yesterday

Former WWE Women’s Champion, Amy ‘Lita’ Dumas announced on Twitter that she will be at WrestleMania 27 Fan Axxess today.

She wrote: “Headed over to the Georgia Dome for Fan Axxcess to broadcast live with Project 96-1 WKLS. Come find me!”

Dumas lives in Atlanta, but up until now hadn’t been announced for any WWE events. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amy is at the Hall of Fame tonight or backstage at ‘Mania tomorrow.

Perhaps also interestingly, Trish Stratus mentioned in our interview that she’s working on doing something very cool this coming Monday on Raw. Pure speculation on my part, but Trish & Lita vs Lay-Cool would certainly fit the bill!

Happy Valentine’s! Diva Dirt’s Favorite Wrestling Couples (Part 2)

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy smashes other boy over the head to defend girl’s honor. Okay, so it’s hardly the stuff of fairytales, but wrestling couples have made us laugh, have made us cry and they’ve also made us scream ‘WTF?’ at the screen. This Valentine’s Day, we pay homage to some of our favorite on-screen wrestling couples! And as always, we encourage to share yours in the comments too!

LITA AND MATT HARDY
It started off as the sweetest couple since Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth but ended up as a Jerry Springer-esque ‘rope opera’ when all was said and done. After being rescued from her the abusive Essa Rios by the Hardy Boys, Lita joined forces with them and became one third of one of the most popular group in WWE history — Team Xtreme. Team Xtreme were like the rockstars of WWE and Lita was idolized by young girls everywhere. From their own magazine to their own DVD, Matt, Jeff and Lita were the ultimate babyfaces. Romance soon blossomed between Lita and Matt, both on and off screen. However, that all changed when Dean Malenko sets his sights on the flame haired Diva. After months of being pursued by Malenko, Lita wrestled him in a match and won with the help of Matt Hardy. After the match, Matt, caught up in the moment, kissed Lita. At first, she was shocked, but she chased him up the ramp and returned the favor. The Team Xtreme fandom exploded! After a brief break-up between Matt and Jeff, Lita was caught in the middle but eventually, the trio reunited. In 2002, however, things came to a halt as Lita suffered a broken neck and was out of action for over a year. Upon her return to the ring, Matt Hardy had returned to Raw after a stint on SmackDown and was reunited with Lita. Or not. Hardy turned on his beau branding her ‘selfish’ and cost her a steel cage match against Victoria. The duo eventually got back together, feuding with Kane. The Big Red Monster trapped her into marriage and even pregnancy. Womp womp. Though apart off screen, Lita and Matt’s real life relationship soon found itself projected on WWE television in a nasty turn…

A History of Divas Going Through Tables

Tonight’s TLC pay per view will see the first ever Divas Tag Team Tables Match, but it wouldn’t be the first time in history that a WWE Diva has gone through a table, however. Oh no!

During WWE’s boom period, the ‘Attitude Era’, many a Diva found herself in that devastating spot — usually courtesy of Bubba Ray Dudley.

Let us reminisce on some good ole fashioned Diva table spots!

Trish Stratus

Before she became the 7-time Women’s Champion and built a legacy befitting of our first ever Diva Dirt Legacy Award, Trish was known as something of a harlot while with Test & Albert. She ended up on the wrong side of a certain Bubba Dudley and ended up paying for it.

Raw Redux (November 1st, 2010): Natalya’s Last Chance + Lita Returns to Raw

In an effort to get this Divas Championship feud rolling again after last week’s lull, WWE gave us another Michelle McCool vs Natalya match, but this time with a twist: If Natalya could beat Michelle McCool in singles action, she’d receive one last shot at the Divas Championship at Survivor Series. Can Natalya overcome the odds and get another crack at the title? Will Lay-Cool cheat their way to another victory? Find out… after this pointless Divas segment. Damas y Caballeros, I present to you: Diva Twister!!! (With a very special cameo):

I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t expect the majority of the Raw Divas to be lumped into a segment with Pee-wee, so I wasn’t really surprised. The jokes were cheesy and the acting bad, no surprise there either. Another typical Guest Host segment, all in all. If I feel bad for anyone, it’s everyone in the audience under 21, who had no idea who Pee-wee Herman was and The Bella Twins for having to share their “Guest Host Arm Candy” spot with Eve and Melina and any other Divas that don’t happen to have a match on Raw or Superstars that week.

Believe it or not, there was a silver lining in this black cloud of a segment. Four-time Women’s Champion made a rare appearance, accompanying her self-professed idol, Pee-wee Herman in this segment. As a huge fan of Lita, I almost blacked out when I saw her pop up on my screen. She could have eaten a live puppy on the air and I’d probably say it was the best moment of Raw this week. That said, even Lita’s appearance couldn’t save this bomb of a segment. Thumbs down for Diva Twister and two thumbs way up (I wish I had more thumbs) for Lita’s cameo.

Trish & Lita Announce Their Project Together (Detailed Live Audio Wrestling Recap)

Former WWE Divas, Trish Stratus and Lita appeared on Live Audio Wrestling just moments ago. Read our recap below:

They are asked what they’re up to. Trish says they’ve been talking for a while about ideas to do together. Amy says they both knew they were retiring and wanted to go out with a bang. They went to many different roadside attractions like Graceland & the Alamo. Would joke and say, “What are they going to do? Fire us?” Traded DVDs with each other, especially Mexican horror films and Mexican wrestling films. Trish says she called Lita and they’re working towards doing a wrestling movie together — an homage to Mexican wrestling films. Opportunity just came up suddenly. Lita says she wants to expose modern wrestling fans to this genre. Host says you get matches in these movies, that they’re like superhero wrestlers vs monsters. Very over the top and campy. Lots of chatter about different Mexican wrestling films. Trish says they will be the wrestling women in the movie. Made mention of a wrestling move done by an actress in Iron Man 2. Lita says the project is in very early stages.

They next take phone calls. Britney wants to wrestle, but has been told she’s too little, even though she’s about Rain’s height. Advice? Trish says things might hurt a little more but she’s not too little.

Email from Stephanie about decline in WWE women’s division, what needs to be changed in WWE to give the remaining women a chance? Lita says do some research instead of modeling. Trish says there needs to be a screening process, solid wrestling background. Make the moment yours to stand out. Look at Daffney, she’s made herself stand out. Lita says you need a boot camp like Funkin’ Dojo to see who really wants it & who doesn’t. Trish feels like the women are using wrestling as a stepping stone to something else, they need to leave if it’s not their passion. Lita thinks there should be a requirement to know wrestling history, do research/homework. Both feel very strongly about knowing wrestling history and having a solid background as a requirement.

WrestleMania Rewind: Lita Gets Involved in TLC Match at WM17

Over the next few days, in the lead up to this Sunday’s big WrestleMania 26 event, we’ll be taking a look back at some of the memorable moments in WrestleMania history that involved the WWE Divas. Each of the Diva Dirt team have picked a moment that they loved to share with you all. Today, it’s Erin’s WrestleMania rewind.

Erin: My moment is a little unconventional in the sense that it’s not technically a Diva moment. It wasn’t a Diva match, nor did it feature more than one Diva. However, I feel that it was one of the most exciting moments in my memories of WrestleMania. This moment is the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match from WrestleMania X7, and for a long time it has been one of my favorite matches based merely on the excitement and sense of importance you felt while watching each team take a beating via the aforementioned tables, ladders, and chairs. Only one Diva, of course, was fit to stick her nose in this match, and that was Lita. She was the Diva most capable of standing toe-to-toe with the guys (barring Chyna, I suppose) in this risky environment, and from taking on the likes of Edge, Rhyno, and the Dudleyz, she certainly got enough ring time for not even being a legal participant in the match. I was pretty young and new to wrestling when I saw this match, so I was especially thrilled to pieces to see a woman get so involved in what was strictly a “men’s” match. This moment was the embodiment of what made Lita so popular, in my opinion–she traded blows with the guys (with steel chairs, nonetheless), pulled off jaw-dropping moves, and was entirely capable of taking a beating herself. If only a Diva these days could make such a mark on a big-time WrestleMania match.

Watch the second part:
