Major Backlash Over WWE Article On The Divas Division

Staff

An article on the WWE website about Beth Phoenix and Natalya Neidhart being the “salvation” to a Divas division overrun by models and bimbos has a lot of people upset – most notably the Bella twins. The article, which can be read here in its entirety, mentioned the Bells by name as WWE divas who ‘diva purists’ can’t believe are being featured on television over more talented in ring performers. The Bellas wrote on Twitter that they woke up to the “embarrassing” article and wanted to share their thoughts with the WWE Universe.

Nikki Bella wrote:

“First off…. Um you want me to slap you with all of my awards and championships I have won? I was a #1 athlete… Which other Diva was?

Secondly, Bri & @RealKellyKelly have been the only entertainment that has happened 2 the Diva’s Division & have worked harder than anyone!

Thirdly, I’ve seen 2 girls the past few weeks try as hard as they can to be “models” while us “models” have busted our butts…..

Oh and good luck with the up and coming Divas…. Sure you’ll make a lot of money with them…. Um actually NOT!

Lastly, @RealKellyKelly & Us are better than anyone in the past so Katie Raymond check your self and come read this article to my face! NB”

Brie Bella wrote:

“Wow, I just woke up to the craziness! The words spoken by Katie are laughable, but I’m a women who will stand for what I believe in…so…

I know what I’ve given to the fans and that’s all what matters. WWE might think your a bunch of puppets that are persuaded by their words..

I know how you all feel :) good and bad, I love it! I mean if WWE cared about Divas why do we have such little time on tv?

Why were divas such as Mickey James, Melina and Gail Kim released. Why aren’t wrestlers like Sara Del Ray hired? All amazing!…….

Kelly Kelly and myself have worked to hard to have an unknown, untalented writer say the things she did. Katie (whoever) Suck it! Love Brie“

Former WWE diva Melina responded to the Bellas’ rant –

“You know I love you but everyone needs to seriously calm down and think before tweeting. This is not worth it.“

The Bellas responded to Melina:

“@RealMelina you know that wasn’t towards you girl :) I know you know that”

Melina replied once again with the following:

“Everyone, these are all good girls. All of them. Yes everyone’s experience level varies but I’m damn proud to step into the ring with them.

Wrestling is not easy on so many levels. It’s not only physical grueling but mentally & emotionally. Against ALL odds you have to overcome.

Through the hardest of times you have to pretend ur ok, pick yourself up & think about others because we are role models. Even when we hurt.

2live our life in wrestling is not easy. Even though it looks like it is… If it does that means we r THAT good. but it isn’t. Far from it.

I love wrestling. No matter what promotion… This is art. This is an extension of me. I may not be in the WWE but my heart is still there.”

CM Punk joined in on the discussion – pointing out that all this buzz about the divas division is not a bad thing –

“So wait. The divas are mad about an in house article on wwe.com that is potentially designed to garner them attention/TV time? Awesome.”

Eve then sounded off, threatening the writer of the article and standing by her style of booty-popping wrestling:

“@WWE I’d love to step into the ring whomever wrote this, & c who needs saving. #Iwillbootypopinyourfacethenmakeyoutap”

“Don’t ever let anyone undermine your hard work, label your character, or set limits to your potential.#BeliEVE!”

“And trust that that’s not taking anything away from @natbynature or @thebethphoenix. Everyone is equally dedicated to taking the Divas division to the next level!”

Kelly Kelly tweeted:

“#divas were just doing what we love, entertaining every week We’ve all worked very hard to get here just wish all this hate would go away”

DISCUSSION: What do you think? Are the Divas of Doom what the divas division needs to get back to basics and emphasize on competition? Are the Bella Twins and Eve wrong to get bent out of shape over the article? Is this all a work? Hit the comments below and tell us what you think about the situation.

Randy Savage’s Condition On Entering The WWE Hall of Fame

Lanny Poffo recently participated in an interview with SLAM! Wrestling to address his late brother, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, as well as his own lengthy career in sports entertainment.

Poffo is asked whether WWE reached out to Randy for induction into their Hall of Fame and what his feelings were on the matter.

“Yes, we talked about it,” Poffo said. “As a matter of fact, what he was, remember when the Von Erichs got into the Hall of Fame? That was the first time he’d mentioned it, and my father was still alive. We celebrated his birthday, and at this point my father was coherent. He says, ‘The Von Erichs are in the Hall of Fame? I’m not going in, ever, into the Hall of Fame unless it’s the Poffos, Lanny, Randy and Angelo.’ That’s what he said. We didn’t cremate him against his wishes and we’re not going to go into the Hall of Fame against his wishes either.”

Poffo also commented on WWE releasing several products featuring Randy.

“I think it’s fantastic,” he said. “Did you see the interview he made for the Mattel dolls? He said, ‘It looks just like me, not now, but then.’ He got a big pop at the ComicCon with his video when he made that self-deprecatory joke. I thought it was phenomenal. He made a joke about himself that he didn’t look like that anymore.”

Kurt Angle Apoligizes For Going Nuts Over WWE List

Kurt Angle has apologized to WWE for slamming their “Top 50 Superstars of All Time” list earlier this week, where he was ranked No. 34.

“Want to Apologize to Everyone that I disrespected with My Comments about Wwe’s Rankings. I truly Am Proud to Be in Top 50. Thank U 2 Wwe.”

“I was No. 34 of WWE all-time greatest? Tell you what, take me off the list. I’d rather not be on it if I wasn’t top five. Who ranks wrestlers?”

Foley Says He Wanted To Appear On WWE TV While With TNA

Daniel Pena

Mick Foley appeared on Monday Night Mayhem, which airs every Monday at 7:00 p.m. via MondayNightMayhem.com. Highlights from the interview are as follows:

How close we were to seeing a match between himself and Hulk Hogan in TNA, whether or not he has any regrets on how his TNA career came to a close, and why he felt that an appearance on WWE television for The Rock’s birthday would have been beneficial for everyone involved: “The match with Hulk Hogan could have happened if I hadn’t tweeted about the Empty Arena Match. “I wouldn’t have sent out that tweet. I put them through quite a bit actually. I didn’t think anything of it when I called Terry Taylor, asking if I could show up on Raw for The Rock’s birthday. Think about that question and what that does to the company. That’s a tough thing to handle. My thing was if I was going to show up and be ‘the network guy’ in three days, why not do it with a higher profile than I’ve had since I’ve been here. Everyone benefits. I wish we could have done business on the way out, so that I could have helped out on the X-Division Pay-Per-View (Destination X). It was very anti-climatic television to just read a note that I was fired two weeks after I started the job.”

Why he has decided to spearhead the effort for a Shane Helms Benefit Show this October in Charlotte and the message they are hoping fans take away from it: “Velvet Sky started raising some money for Shane, because essentially he’s a guy who had his livelihood taken away from him for a year, maybe more. From what I hear, the crash was really horrific. So I asked The Hurricane how he felt about doing a benefit show, a comedy show in Charlotte (at The Comedy Zone), and he said he was for it. I was willing to do it. A few days ago I heard from Shane, and he had what I thought was a great idea that he wanted to take the money we raise that night and make a really good public service announcement that might help other people. I do not want to put words in his mouth, but I think he wants to do something above and beyond helping himself that can help out other people.”

Why a potential return to the WWE is intriguing for him right now at this point in time in his personal and professional career: The charity stuff is emotionally rewarding. It’s not financially rewarding. My wife has made it kind of clear that my days of donated 100% of book sales needs to come to an end. In this economic environment, you really have go out and make some money as long as there is some demand for what you do. I think being with the WWE would help me out in these endeavors I do. I think they did a great job of keeping me relevant for years through the miracle of DVD’s, action figures, and appearances on their show, so I think they can help me in these pursuits. I also think there a lot of ways I can help out, whether it be with younger wrestlers, as an ambassador, or appearing on the TV show once in a while. Without knocking TNA or iMPACT Wrestling, because I did enjoy a lot of my time there, WWE has more ways guys can make a contribution that doesn’t include being a major part of their TV show.”

If the thought of a WWE Hall of Fame induction has gone through his mind since deciding to depart TNA and the perfect time/spot he envisions that moment to happen: “It actually started going through my mind. I wrote about this in the bonus chapter in ‘Countdown to Lockdown.’ I said the moment the WWE mentioned my book on the air, any misgivings or feelings I had just vanished. I started thinking about the (WWE) Hall of Fame and how it would be a big deal to my kids, and if they wanted me to do it, I’ll do it. In a perfect world, I would get inducted in The Garden (MSG) in 2013. I’ll be willing to stay of TV until 2013 just to get inducted there, but what I might do is John Laurinaitis and ask if I could do a house show, just so I could hear my music and get a pop.”

Santino Marella suffered a separated left shoulder following a car accident Thursday night in Toronto.

The official WWE website spoke to Marella this morning about the incident.

“I had just left home and was going to get my hair cut before I began packing for WWE’s trip to Puerto Rico. [My barber] wasn’t around, so I just decided to go home.”

He was then hit by another vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle remained at the scene of the collision until police arrived, and no foul play is suspected.

“My car flipped sideways and the trunk hit a light pole, it completely crushed in. The airbags deployed, and all I could smell was gunpowder.”

Marella’s car hit a light pole and sustained significant damage.

“There was broken glass everywhere, and I tried to open the passenger door, but it was stuck.

Luckily, there was still power in the car. I opened the sunroof and crawled out.”

He will not be at Raw this Monday. These pictures have been released from the scene of the accident:
