Beth Phoenix & Natalya Named Divas of the Year by WWE Magazine
The Pin-Up Strong movement has worked its magic on the folks at WWE Magazine, as they’ve selected Beth Phoenix and Natalya as their joint Divas of the Year.
The Divas Champion and her third-generation BFF have picked up the award, with Natalya being quoted as saying: “Beth and I are not cookie-cutter Divas. We love power lifting. We love working out. We love painting. There’s so much stuff that we love doing that’s outside of the norm. We don’t pride ourselves on being models. We pride ourselves on being tough chicks.”
She adds: “People compare us to Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah. She’s Moolah, and I’m Mae.” (more…)
Beth Phoenix Injured on Raw (Pictures)
Divas Champion Beth Phoenix gave fans a fright last night after it was spotted that she had a nasty lump on the side of her head following her match with Alicia Fox on Raw.
Fans tweeted their concern for the Glamazon last night as a trainer was spotted running to the ring after the match to check on Beth. It looks like Foxy’s somersault leg drop did a number on the champion.
Beth commented on the injury via her Twitter page, writing: “@AliciaFoxy tried her hardest to destroy my face. There will be hell to pay for trying to tarnish my beauty.”
She then added: “Another angle of @AliciaFoxy ‘s damage. After hours in the trainers room, I broke a lot of mirrors with my fists.”
Beth posted pictures of the injury here and here.
Maria Discusses Unhappiness In WWE, Whether She’d Join TNA
Maria Kanellis appeared on World Wrestling Insanity with James Guttman. Interview available at WorldWrestlingInsanity.com.
Fans who have never heard Maria outside her WWE character are surprised by her intelligence and humor. A completely different person than the ditzy interviewer fans came to expect, Kanellis has always been positive about her time with WWE, but doesn’t sugarcoat anything either. As James Guttman asks during her ClubWWI.com interview, what surprised her the most when transitioning from WWE fan to performer? Maria answers…
“I was surprised by how unhappy people were. It’s the greatest company in the world, but there are so many people within that company that still struggle with their creative abilities not being used. I think you see that in so many people that come out of it. They have motorcycle shops or they have tattoo parlors or they are designers and want to do fashion. Maryse just came out and said she wants to do fashion. Torrie wants to do fashion. Trish has her own yoga studio and her own yoga line. So many of us just feel creatively stifled.” (more…)
