After seeing TNA, I was happy the original Beautiful People had reunited – but then I saw TNA Reaction. It seems as though TNA still have the audacity to make digs at WWE; mainly it’s women’s division.

Angelina and Velvet had words for two certain individuals.

Velvet Sky: For all you wannabe Beautiful People girls out there, you know exactly who I’m talking about. Get a life, you’ll never be us!

Angelina Love: You’re not cool by the way, not cool.

WWE Women’s champion, the digee, Layla, took to her twitter today and said the following:

@mslaylael | Layla: Living the dream & so blessed!! 1 thing I know when u r attacked u have 2 decide if it’s worth the time & effort to retaliate. Not worth the press. Plus don’t deserve the press we get even tho they want it & need it :-) Real talk.

The beef TNA holds with WWE is totally pathetic. TNA has some great talent, why compare it with the talent in WWE? Why mock WWE’s talent? Why TNA made their talent ruin a perfectly satisfying segment on iMPACT! is beyond me. Rarely anything in professional wrestling is original. Most is recycled and redone by newer talent.

Hey Beautiful People, remember Ladies In Pink (Vince’s Devils) and Pretty Mean Sisters? MHMMMMM!

All the hot news buzzing on twitter is that STEPHANIE MCMAHON and Triple H have had their third child– a girl. Upon further research, Steph’s wikiepedia page states that she gave birth on August 24, 2010. Wikipedia is usually not the most reliable source. However, @Ringsidexcess is tweeting that Steph did indeed give birth on August 24, which just so happen to be Vince McMahon’s birthday.

When we learn more information we shall post.

For over a month, I was able to come in contact with some marvelous people including documentary film director, STEPHEN GILLIS.  Stephen recently has a film called This Wrestling Life.  As a fan of the independent scene, I became interested in this film because of tweets from  female wrestler, Nicole Matthews. It made me think of the training and progress of my best friend and fellow staff member, Marc.  I was able to watch the film  before it was shown on Canadian television. Before I continue with the review of the film, for more information on the film click the facebook page link ,@twlthemovie, or http://www.thiswrestlinglife.com/.

—————————————————————————————————-

This Wrestling Life is a documentary film that portrays the independent scene of professional wrestling.  The film depicts the year of struggles in the lives of four individuals. Travis and Natalie are two new wrestlers to the wrestling business. Bill is training to become a referee. These three individuals have had rough lives and are trying to live out their dreams as part of the wrestling business. These three students have come through adversary in their lives to accomplish their dreams. Travis has come from a broken home. Natalie has come from male dominant household that shunned her dreams. Bill is an openly homosexual forty plus year old man. These students are led by the head trainer of ECCW (Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling), Scotty Mac. In the course of the film, he has been mentoring his protégés and also trying to fulfill his dream of becoming a wrestler in World Wrestling Entertainment.

The documentary film focused on the triumphs and the let downs within the process of making it in the wrestling industry. The students Travis, Natalie, and Bill learned about the technical aspects and the social aspects of wrestling. Most notably, Bill received hazing and ribbing because of his “newbie” status coupled with his sexuality.  Throughout the experience, Bill stated that he would not let it get to him so he could prove himself to everyone.

Natalie proved to be a tough cookie from the start. She would come late to practice and talk out of line. The no nonsense holds no prisoners’ attitude of Natalie proved to be an issue throughout the film.   It led her into trouble many times with Scotty Mac. Scotty Mac mentioned that he felt that he was easy on her because she reminded him of himself.  He questioned whether Natalie really wanted to become a wrestler and even be there.

Travis, however, did not allow for the let downs in his life to affect his triumphs. He worked consistently throughout the movie to hone his craft and make something out of himself. He wanted to prove to his parents and everyone else that he could make it as a wrestler.  It allowed for him to motivate himself to achieve.

This Wrestling Life chronicled the graduation of many of its students including Bill and Travis. In the graduating class, Natalie was not included. She did not graduate. However, that motivated her to continue and to prove to everyone that she wanted to be there.

The documentary film showed how rough the training process is for wrestlers. The training process is not for everyone and it quickly weeds out those people.  This Wrestling Life allowed the viewers into the hearts and minds of four individuals. It encompassed the whole spectrum of wrestling—trainer/booker, male trainee wrestler, female trainee wrestler, and male trainee referee. The main drawback is the time constraints.  Not every moment can be depicted. Also, the film focused on the Travis’ story, which was epitome of success. The documentary allowed for the inside view into the lives of the participants and wrestling.  The beginning of the journey to superstardom is rarely chronicled and the people who helped along the way are not given proper praise. Scotty Mac brought out the talent that was inside of Billy, Travis, and Natalie. He shared with them all the fun, heart breaking, frustrating, happy moments along with the blood, sweat, and tears that makes up a life in the wrestling business.

Where are they now?

• Natalie, or KC Spinelli, is currently a female wrestler in ECCW and for other companies. She has been in matches against Malia Hosaka, Sunni Daze, Nicole Matthews, among others.  KC Spinelli is part of the team, Tits & Abs with Alex Plexis in ECCW.
• Travis, or  “The Popstar” Travis Sparx,  is currently in the group called Pop Culture.  His team mates are Ice, Bishop, & Veronika Vice. He currently competes for ECCW and other companies.
• Bill Taylor is a referee in ECCW and he’s not afraid to show people who’s the boss!
• Scotty Mac is still going strong as the go to guy in ECCW. He is a trainer, booker, and occasional wrestler.  He’s happy with his role, but still hopes to be WWE.
• They all have their dreams in wrestling and are still trying to make it a reality!

Last night at WWE’s SummerSlam, Melina Perez became a two time WWE Divas champion when she defeated Alicia Fox with a full nelson facebuster.

We here at OhSoDivalicious want to congratulate Melina on her big championship victory. This title win makes Melina a five time overall champion in the WWE.

Lance Storm was recently asked some questions on his site – www.stormwrestling.com . It was rather interesting to see what he thinks about the Women’s Division today. He also spoke about Dawn Marie‘s wrestling and her valeting. Take a look!

Q: I know from the endorsement that Trish Stratus gave you for your SWA that you helped the women back in 2001-2003. Looking at how far women’s wrestling has fallen in WWE today, do you think you could, with a straight face, consistently help the current divas plan 1 minute and 40 second title matches?

A: I think the problem is bigger than just helping these girls plan matches. I think in many cases (certainly not all) the current women’s roster is not as talented and the office is booking them a lot less credibly, so just helping them put better matches together is not the problem, and if it were Fit Finlay is still with the company, he can do every bit as good of a job as I can at it and quite probably far better.

Q: Did Dawn Marie ever give you personality/promo tips when you were paired together and vice versa? Would she have been a viable wrestler? I don’t recall her in too many matches, outside of the ‘catfights’.

A: She did not attempt to give me promo tips at any point. As for her as a viable wrestler I guess it depends on the time frame; by today’s standards certainly but during the Trish Stratus era probably not. Dawn was best as a valet; she was AWESOME on so many levels. That was her calling in this business and she was often underutilized in that role

In my opinion, Dawn Marie was a good wrestler. I agree with Lance that she was underutilized as a valet/manager, but also as a wrestler. Even back then during what he dubbed as the Trish Stratus era, she was a veteran. She pulled out decent matches with girls with limited abilities. You can look back at her matches with Torrie Wilson, Jackie Gayda, and Michelle McCool. These girls were as wrestlers say very “green‘. They were rookies. To be able to get into the ring and work with them and furthermore, push them as workers took  a lot of effort from Dawn.  She wasn’t considered a female wrestler.

To go off into the wild blue yonder with the WWE  Women’s Division is another story. The women today are a different breed of lady wrestlers.  Very few come from the independent scene.  Most of them are WWE grown. The problem may lay within that. However, you have cases of MICHELLE MCCOOL who is a very good wrestler. She came out of the productions of WWE developmentals. I think the issues deal with time constraints and  monetary issues rather than wrestling talent. I think the time frame of matches really hurts all the girls.  In very short matches, you tend to have to hurry through the moves and botches are more evident. Longer matches, some botches are forgotten as the competitors bounce back.

What do you guys think?

LINDA MCMAHON has just finished up a livestream interview, that was introduced through her twitter account (@LindaForSenate). She said that Stephanie McMahon manned the phones earlier today for a short while.  She further stated that STEPHANIE is due to give birth now ANY DAY now.

Stephanie is currently pregnant with her third child with her husband, WWE Superstar, Triple H.

It was also reported during this livestream that she was winning the Connecticut Republican Senate Primary.

We wish the McMahon family the best in the upcoming days and months! No matter what your political agenda, it’s nice to see people succeed and also have additions to their family.

How many of you wanna bet at the biggest party of the summer, Summerslam, we will have a new McMahon?

According to PWinsider.com,  Becky Bayless is backstage at  TNA Impact tapings that air next week. She even worked a dark match as a manager for Robby G ( Rob Eckos).  Becky was going under the alias of COOKIE ( a spin of Snooki from Jersey Shore).  Robby G defeated Jeremy Buck in a dark match.  Rob and Becky are doing a takeoff of  The Situation and Snooki.

We hope this means big things for our friend, BECKY BAYLESS!!

A few weekends ago,  WWE held tryouts at their developmental facilities of Florida Championship Wrestling.  According to RingsideNews.com, the Talent Evaluation Clinic is where WWE producers, WWE Scouts, and WWE Superstars are evaluating potential talent. There was over 50 participants.  As Jim Ross stated in his own blog,  there’s only a handful, maybe two to five talents that get picked up in these clinics.

There has been a picture (above!) that surfaced online of the group of female talent that took part in the Clinic.  Most notably  was Sojourner Bolt/Josie (real name Josette Bynum), Ms. Payton Banks/Rain (real name Bonnie Maxon),  AAA Women’s Champion Sexy Star,  She Nay Nay (who competed against Beth Phoenix last October),  and the Blossom Twins (from OVW).

There is NO word whether any females were given the golden ticket.   Josie/Sojo Bolt has already made her itinerary for next month as she is wrestling in Canada.

We wish all the girls who tried out the best of luck!

(If you know the identities of any of the ladies we didn’t mention, please inform us! Thank you!!)

WHO WOULD YOU LIKE WWE TO PICK UP AS A WWE DIVA?

Soon after Melina’s return victory over the Divas Champion Alicia Fox (Marcella’s coverage explains it better!), Raw’s General Manager “emailed” Michael Cole to announce a Divas Championship match at SummerSlam this Sunday. Click here for WWE.Com’s match preview. Many speculate that Melina will walk away as the champion, while personally I’d like to see Alicia retain to build up a decent feud.

Who would you like to see walk away with the butterfly belt this Sunday?
