Last Night on WWE RAW, Jillian Hall and Candice Michelle

Last Night on WWE RAW, Jillian Hall and Candice Michelle

Candice Michelle took on Jillian Hall last night in what I hate to say was a very lackluster wrestling match.
I hate to say lackluster because Candice versus Beth Phoenix is the women's event at WWE No Mercy.
Candice still doesn't look 100 percent, although she did win.

I know most wrestling writers and bloggers don't take the womens wrestling divisions seriously. But as you can see from the number of blogs I do, I take it seriously. I dont want to see the Women's Wrestling title match become a snooze fest or a squash.
Candice is trying and I respect that. But maybe they should have held back on her a bit and let her get the ring rust off before throwing her back with a title shot.
I personally think Mickie James versus Beth would have been a better match for No Mercy.
I still do wish Candice luck though.

WWE Diva Candice Michelle Retains her Title

Candice Michelle retained her Women's Wrestling Championship last night at Unforgiven, over Beth Phoenix.
Again Beth came out to a huge pop from the crowd.
Not so much for Candice.
Phoenix pretty much dominated Michelle throughout the entire match with power moves.
Candice won by getting a crucifix pin on Beth,countering a Gorilla Press attempt.
Of course, after the match, they showed a shot of an infuriated Beth.

Taylor Wilde versus Velvet Sky

Taylor Wilde defeated Velvet Sky by disqualification last night, retaining the TNA Knockout Title.
Of course after this, The Beautiful People jumped Taylor, till ODB and Gail Kim ran in for the save.
Watching this made me realize something...
Several years ago, when the WWE was having such trouble with their Diva division, I thought " Why dont they just get some of the hard working Indy ladies and use them?"
TNA pretty much did that.
As I have said before, these ladies work like the wrestlers of the 60's and 70's, some working full time jobs, getting off work and hitting the road to make that nights show. You have to LOVE wrestling to do that.

Who will be the next WWE Diva?

Earlier this summer when the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search contest began, eight beautiful, talented women had high hopes of becoming one of the sexiest women on television. Now, with the live Diva Search Finals at New York City’s Hard Rock Cafe just one day away, only three women remain in the competition: Layla El, Jen England and J.T. Tinney. The finalists will compete in a bikini arm wrestling contest and a live lingerie competition during the show Wednesday night at 10/9 CT on USA.

Last year’s Diva Search winner and current SmackDown Diva Ashley, will host Wednesday’s finale with Todd Grisham.

“Winning the Diva Search absolutely changed my life.” Ashley told the Diva Search hopefuls earlier in the competition. “You guys are being given a golden opportunity right now. You really need to run with it.”

Let’s take a look back at the highlights of WWE’s 2006 $250,000 Diva Search.

For their first challenge, the eight Diva Search contestants participated in Sgt. Slaughter’s Boot Camp on SmackDown. Layla was the quickest to pass through a series of obstacles and was declared the winner. The next Monday on RAW, Amy Zidian was told by host Mike “The Miz” Mizanin that she received the lowest number of votes and was the first one eliminated.

“I didn’t want to be the first to go. I wanted this really bad. To say the least, I’m not happy,” a tearful Amy told WWE.com after her elimination.

Later that week on SmackDown, the final seven competed in a Diva Search Dance-Off. Each woman performed her sexiest moves for the WWE fans, and Milena Roucka won. On the next RAW, Maryse Ouellet was the next to go.

“I feel really, really sad,” Maryse said. “It was my dream. I had an amazing, amazing time. I thought this would be great for me. I expected [I would do better in the voting].”

For their next challenge, the remaining six hopefuls faced Diva Search Musical Chairs on SmackDown. J.T. won Musical Chairs, but Rebecca DiPietro fought hard (and shoved J.T.) and ended up with second place. It wasn’t enough to secure her spot in the competition, and on the next RAW, Rebecca was given the bad news that she was the next out.

“I’m surprised that I was voted off,” Rebecca told WWE.com. “I didn’t see it coming.”

When it came down to five, the competition got a little bit sweeter on SmackDown. As each finalist told WWE fans why she should stay in the competition, she got pied in the face with whipped cream, giving viewers a revealing look at how each reacts to a surprise. On RAW, Erica Chevillar was the next to say goodbye.

“It was a great experience. It was all new to me. I look at it as a learning experience. I was so happy to be a part of this,” Erica said. “I hope this is a stepping stone to me one day being part of the sexiest women on television. After experiencing it, I want to be part of it.”

After Erica’s departure, the final four played Diss the Diva, telling the WWE fans who should be the next Diva Search hopeful to go. Then on SmackDown, the finalists strutted their stuff during the Diva Search Talent Show, hosted by actor Luke Perry. Layla won over the Nashville, Tenn., crowd with her sexy dance, and Perry declared her the winner of the Diva Search Talent Show. The WWE fans voted for their favorite Diva hopeful, and Milena was eliminated on this week’s RAW, but she promised this isn’t the last WWE fans will see of her.

“I want to wrestle. I want to learn. I will work my ass off,” Milena said Monday night.

And then there were three: Layla, Jen and J.T. They competed in the Diva Beat the Heat Water Fight against Candice Michelle, Victoria and Torrie Wilson in front of the Charlottesville, Va., crowd. The veteran RAW Divas won the wet and wild competition, and The Miz ended up just as soaked as the sexy ladies in the ring.

Who will WWE fans vote to win the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search and the chance to become a WWE Diva? There’s still time to vote for your favorite online or via text messaging. Layla, Jen and J.T. will compete in a bikini arm wrestling contest and a live lingerie competition during the finale, live from the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City, Wednesday night at 10/9 CT on USA.

Candice Michelle is Back on WWE Raw

WWE yield at last night’s RAW brand home display in Anchorage, Alaska. After interruption, Candice came away to a pretty large pop. She said it was her best day backwards. She shot some t-shirts into the crew, and got a pop for mentioning Fairbanks. Alex Marvez has a consultation upward with Candice Michelle in his syndicated wrestling editorial where Candice notes she will likely be returning to the gang in later February. For now, she’ll just be appearing on the events but not in a wrestling character.

Victoria and Natalya, BBF 4-Ever

Two of SmackDown’s most devious Divas seem to be joined at the hip lately. Whether it’s in the ring, in the Divas’ locker room or out on the town, Victoria and Natalya are inseparable. They’ve even been spotted sporting custom-made, matching “Best Friends” T-shirts and necklaces. Diva Dish recently sat down for a chat (or should we say ego-fest?) with the BFFs.

“I went shopping today. I got us matching necklaces. We had special custom T-shirts made that say ‘Best Friends’ and they’re a split heart, just like the necklace,” Victoria told Diva Dish.

“You went all out and it was such a surprise because May 27 was my birthday,” Natalya chimed in. “I came into the building and this little one over here had a package waiting for me. She went out and got the shirts, and had them custom made for me. I thought I was going to cry, but you know, being third-generation, we don’t cry.”

“We don’t cry! There’s no crying in wrestling!” Victoria replied.

“You can give me a high-five on that one, girlfriend!” Natalya said, as the duo erupted in laughter.

Victoria said she’s grown so close to Natalya since she became a Diva, they act like sisters. And the Divas aren’t joking when they say they finish each other’s sentences.

“One thing I have to say, and I believe this in my heart of hearts, is that what you have that I was most attracted to, is that you’re violent and original,” Natalya said to Victoria. “And for me it’s like, there is not another woman who I can find who can get on my level to be violent and original. She brings it. Every single night there’s just this energy and I feed off it.”

“We’re very lucky because I feed off her, because she’s very talented. You’re very original, too. I’ve learned wrestling skills from you. Your confidence level is amazing out there,” Victoria told her best bud.

“You are amazing,” Natalya said.

“You are amazing,” Victoria responded.

“We are — ” Natalya started.

“Amazing!” Victoria finished.

When Diva Dish informed the pals they were two of the most downloaded Divas on WWE.com in recent weeks, Victoria admitted she was a little bit surprised.

“I’m so used to people downloading those little skinny girls, like Kelly Kelly and Michelle – the cookie-cutter blonds. Now it shows we’re being appreciated as athletes with wrestling abilities – that we can back up what we do,” Victoria said.

But Natalya wasn’t shocked she and her best friend are making waves online.

“Naturally, being the first third-generation Diva in WWE, it just felt right when I heard I was one of the most downloaded Divas,” Natalya said.

“People want to know what I’m up to, what I’m wearing, what I’m talking about, what we’re doing, what we’ve been doing – they just want to see Natalya and Victoria. She doesn’t give herself enough credit, but this woman is amazing. I know it’s not Valentine’s Day, but I wouldn’t be able to do it without you,” Natalya said, looking at her friend.

“Awwww. You give me a hug. Come here, BFF!” Victoria said, embracing her friend and then continuing: “We have good chemistry in the ring and outside the ring. I think it shows in our performance. We put our hearts and souls into every single match. We try to be the best, because you know what?”

“When you mess with the best, you go down with the rest. Yeah, baby!” the two said in unison.

Natalya vs.Cherry on WWE Smackdown!

Natalya (Nattie Neidhart) picked up a win last night on WWE's Smackdown! defeating Cherry.
The cool thing to me is Nattie, sorry, Natalya, using the Sharp Shooter for the win.

Michelle McCool versus Trish Stratus

Now according to the WWE, Michelle McCool has beaten Trish Stratus in queries online.
I don't really see how, considering Trish is getting HUGE buzz over her new Travel Channel show.
And her yoga, and showing up on RAW again.
Okay, the RAW thing was just one night but still.

Anyway, MY stats still show Trish WAY over Michelle. By a big margin.

Former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall Expecting

Well, Former WWE Diva Kristal Marshall, 24, is due to give birth soon.
And the childs father is her boyfriend Bobby Lashley!
That's the reason Lashley didn't want to make any long-term commitments, because it would put him on the road too much.
I really respect that out of Bobby,he loves wrestling, but he loves his family more.
And the WWE talks about role models. They had one, well two right there.
I wish them both, well all three, the best.
