Can You Really Blame Maryse?

Several wrestling sites are saying that Ted DiBiase's lack of a WWE push is because Maryse is not doing all that well as a valet.
They are saying that Maryse is more interested in making herself look good than being an "effective" valet.
One article even referenced Maryse as "the former glamour model"

????

Okay... Maryse IS a a former glamour model and a former Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada.
But you have to remember that she is also a former WWE Divas Champion.
Two times actually.

I never thought I would be defending Maryse's wrestling skills (okay, actually I'm still not), but would the WWE take John Cena and make him Edge's valet and expect him to go at it heart and soul?

I know the Women's Belts mean next to nothing to Vince and his crew, but taking a former champion and making a them a valet makes the title (and the wrestlers) look weak.
Remember K-Fed pinning Cena?
That STILL makes me mad to this day.

Remember when women started OUT as valets and worked up to being wrestlers?

Yes we know the Divas are just Eye Candy to the WWE story writers.
Fortunately that's not the case in TNA (okay...not as much so) and thank God the Indys still hold the female wrestlers in high regard.
Lucha Libre and Joshi treat their female wrestlers better than that.

So yeah, maybe Maryse IS slacking off as a valet.

Can you blame her?

To paraphrase Bret Hart....

"Who are you to doubt Maryse?

WWE Diva and TNA Knockouts Updates 10-23-09

I leave for awhile and....well nothing really changes much.

One....ODB isn't leaving TNA, someone hacked her Facebook account.

Two... Beth Phoenix went to SmackDown! to make a brand new start.

Three...The Bella Twins were moved back to Raw because Vince McMahon has "fallen in love with them".

Four...And speaking of Divas moving, Melina went to Raw as a reward for her good work on SmackDown!
Now you can erase any lingering doubts you had that SD and Raw were equals.

Five..Okay, someone at the WWE is REALLY reading my blogs because Jillian Hall is actually getting a push!
I've been cheerleading Jillian for about six months now and it looks like it paid off.
Now if the WWE will just hire me.....

Six...Torrie Wilson posted this on her Twitter and scared the crap outta a lo of fans...
"“Big scare for me tonight. I was in the emergency room. Thought I was heading up to Heaven for a minute there. Thanks for letting me stay a little longer, Jesus!”"
It seems Torrie had an adverse reaction to medicine she was taking for a thyroid problem.
You can read about the situation more here:
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/hoffman/6675212.html

Seven...www.f4wonline.com has reported that TNA Knockout Daffney broke her arm during the Monster's Ball match between Abyss and Mick Foley at the Bound for Glory pay-per-view.

Eight... In an interview at OhSoDivalicious, Amy Weber called Randy Orton a "dirtbag".
Well kinda-sorta.
You can read the interview here:
http://ohsodivalicious.org/?p=3591

Nine...And finally, http://www.f4wonline.com/ reported that TNA Knockout Awesome Kong came to her boyfriends defense at the Bound for Glory after-party and laid the smackdown on a drunk that was insulting him.
She shoved him, he came back at her and she knocked him out.
Was he so drunk he couldn't see who he was fighting?

TNA Knockout Results From The "No Surrender" PPV

http://www.tnawrestling.com/

TNA may have restored my faith in the company last night.
I was really worried about what they were gonna do at "No Surrender".

In the TNA Knockout Tag-Titles match up, Taylor Wilde and Sarita defeated The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne) to become the TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions.
Good.
Taylor Wilde and Sarita deserve the push and this will give TNA time to rebuild The Beautiful People without Angelina Love.


http://www.tnawrestling.com/

Then in the match I dreaded the most, Cody Deaner took on ODB for the TNA Knockouts Title.
ODB won, which was a huge relief to me.
Maybe now they can put this Cody Deaner thing to rest and concentrate on keeping the TNA Knockout division ahead of the WWE Divas.
If Cody wants to be a wrestler fine.
There's a lot of male wrestlers on the roster for him to go against.
ODB deserves better than low brow comedy.

And in other TNA Knockout news, there are rumors that Rhaka Khan (Trenesha Biggers) maybe looking at suing TNA.
Of course this will really help Rhaka's backstage rep a whole lot.
It was bad enough before, but if she does this....?

Female Wrestling News - Lisa Marie Varon, Mickie James, Gail Kim and More

TNA Knockout Tara (WWE's Victoria and aka Lisa Marie Varon) is still having a war of words with female MMA fighter Kim Couture.
I did a write up about it today on my Female MMA blog here.

Is Lilian Garcia really leaving WWE?
LOL...well they keep saying she is.
Right now a possible replacement for Lilian is FCW star Angela Fong.
I guess we will wait and see.

And speaking of FCW, I was wondering who FCW wrestler and valet "Candy Girl" was.
Well now I know.
And not because of a good thing.
Candy Girl (or "Liviana") was arrested on Sunday, June 14, 2009 on charges of Driving under the Influence.
Her real name, by the way, is Karlee Leliani Perez and she's a Tampa-based model.
The WWE and models.
Vince, look at Shimmer's roster.
Hire some wrestlers!
Geez!

And if the WWEs PG look is bothering you, blame John Cena.
Yes, Cena evidently campaigned for the new look.
Now if they would just get off the "look" and focus more on wrestling ability.

And just what happened in the infamous "Mickie James-Gail Kim" match last week on Raw?
Other than the surreal finish that is.
TWNP News reported that Mickie was "chewed out by management backstage at Raw on Monday as a result of how she reacted when her match with Gail Kim fell apart" and that Gail was "Kim was indeed out of it towards the end of the match, thus explaining why it fell apart. She was treated backstage during the show, but it was said to not be serious. "
Her condition wasn't serious?
What happened?
Was it because of that messed up cross body earlier?
Concussion maybe?

And I guess everyone knows that the new ECW Diva Courtney Taylor is actually Beverly Mullins from FCW (aka Daisy, aka Wesley Holiday).

FCW seems to be getting a lot of play these days huh?

So Is ODB the New TNA Knockout Champion?

Well I guess I should calm down a little.
It appears now that ODB may actually be the new TNA Knockout Champion since Cody Deaner was on her side.
The finish of the match though with Cody rolling up Velvet Sky and getting the win, and Deaner grabbing the belt from ODB and running to the back....
That leaves ugly questions in my mind.
Either way, there is no excuse for the womens title to change hands in a side show like that.
ODB has been wrestling for over 10 years and deserves more respect than TNA showed her.
Heck, they all do.

Kurt Angle's arrest is making headlines in the main stream media, but its pretty much known now that his arrest was partly at least because of him violating a restraining order that Rhaka Khan (Trenesha Biggers) had filed against him.
WPXI.com has the officer's report on their site and here is part of the report concerning Rhaka....
" (She) stated she was at the Starbucks Store at the Robinson Towne Center outside at a table using the internet because she was scared to use the computer at her residence as she was in fear of Angle.
At this time, she saw Angle circle the parking lot three times; staring at her while she was outside.
(She) stated she then hurriedly left the area and saw Angle in the silver Cadillac.
She drove to Crucible Research by Giant Eagle and observed Angle in the Giant Eagle parking lot "circling" in his vehicle.
She stated to me that she could see Angle accessing her cell phone that she left in the car and feared he was deleting her text messages and pictures she had of past abuse against Angle.
(She) stated she then called 911 to report the incident. Angle was processed without incident and lodged into a holding cell to await arraignment."
You can read the full report on their website here:
http://www.wpxi.com/news/20415054/detail.html

There's an article at Dayton Daily News about Lisa Marie Varon (Victoria, Tara) and her future female MMA career.
"Following in the footsteps of Brock Lesnar and fellow heavyweight Bobby Lashley, Lisa Marie Varon — perhaps better known as “Victoria” to World Wrestling Entertainment fans — is heading to the world of mixed martial arts."
You can read the full article here

Maybe if TNA keeps acting like this, ODB can go into MMA too.

Wow...when I did my first Q&A with female wrestler Pink, I didn't think the interviews would be that popular.
But then I got another with Juliet the Huntress and now I'm honored to have another with an indy female wrestler who wrestles in my home state...

I tend to be that sweet innocent face, that is until you make me mad ;-)

Please check out the MySpace sites, there is lots of info on them including my wrestling schedule, blog updates and how to buy merchandise.

And I would like to thank Kristen for taking the time out to do this.
Again, these are some of the hardest working women in wrestling today, so when they are in a event near you, go out and show your support!

TNA Knockout News

At the TNA Victory Road PPV, Sharmell will be facing Jenna Morasca.
?
I figured that the Knockouts main event would be a Womens Title Match.
No Angelina Love?
No Tara?
No Velvet Sky?
Not even Awesome Kong?



And last night on TNA Impact, Sarah Stock finally made her first TV wrestling appearance as Sarita going up against Alissa Flash (who we know better as Cheerleader Melissa).
Sarita got the win, but Alissa got her revenge after the bell as you can see here:

Alissa Flash vs. Sarita | SpikeTV | SPIKE.com

Thanks to TNA for not only posting the match, but allowing people to embed the video so others can see it.

And on Hermie's Hotseat, race car driver, announcer and professional wrestling promoter Hermie Sadler interviews one of my favorite all time female wrestlers, Daffney.
You can watch it here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUvyUtnWsCI
I just love Daffney.
I still want her and Tara as a psycho tag team.

And without further ado, the interview......

And I would like to thank this talented young lady for taking the time to do this.
Like I have said before, the Indy wrestlers take their careers to heart and harken back to the days of Ann Casey, some working full time jobs, getting off work, grabbing their gear and jumping in a car to drive to that nights match.
We're not talking primadonnas here, we are talking women that literally put their blood, sweat and tears into their work.

WWE Divas: Mickie James, Candice Michelle and Trish Stratus

Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus, along with current WWE Divas Mickie James and Tiffany took part in this years's 300 event that takes special needs children from Canada to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.



And speaking of Mickie, on JR's blog he said that Mickie is contemplating a country music career. She's evidently getting ready to do a demo.
Does that mean she'll start carrying a guitar to the ring like Jeff Jarrett?
Or that she'll start a feud with Jillian Hall?
Or maybe a duet with Lilian Garcia?



And Candice Michelle is starting to get the heat.
It seems the WWE is a little upset that while she's on rehab for her ankle, she's hanging out at bars in LA and going to Dodger games.
Of course her injury history doesn't help much either.
Look at Mr. Kennedy.
BUT, Candice has a major supporter in the WWE by the name of Stephanie McMahon, so she'll probably be okay for now.
