Mickie James captured the WWE Women's Title earlier this week on RAW. Seems like as good a reason as any to pay homage to this cute WWE Diva with a photo tribute.

While not possessing the sort of sexy look s Ashley Massaro or other WWE Divas, Mickie James is still mighty fine. Don't you agree?

Wanna be one of the next WWE Divas?
The WWE is looking for its next set of beautiful women, but there's a catch: the company is focusing on just one ethnicity at the moment. According to Gotcast.com, here are the qualifications you must meet in order to become the next WWE Diva:
Must be between the ages of 18-27 years old and fit the following:
- Beautiful
- Speaks and understands Portuguese
- Speaks and understands English
- Physically fit/ Athletic
- Great personality
WWE is also looking for other Latina talent; namely, Latinas who speak Spanish and fit the description above.
Head over to the website listed above if this sounds like an opportunity you wish to pursue. Good luck!
TNA's Slammiversay pay-per-view will take place on June 8. Just where will it be located? A recent press release from the company will answer that question:
TNA Wrestling is proud to announce that its worldwide Pay-Per-View spectacular âSlammiversary 2008â will be held live in the Memphis area at the DeSoto County Civic Center in Southaven, Mississippi at 7 p.m., Sunday, June 8, airing exclusively on Pay-Per-View.
TNA President Dixie Carter made the âSlammiversaryâ announcement on the âOff The Ropesâ ESPN radio show (KQPN 730 AM) in Memphis. The city of Memphis is the top-rated television market in the United States for âTNA iMPACTâ on Spike TV (Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT).
âMemphis and the Mid-South know wrestling as well as anyone in the world, and weâre excited to show some of the best fans in the world that TNA has become the new king of professional wrestling action, both in the ring and with our unique fan experience,â Carter said.
âSlammiversaryâ will celebrate TNAâs sixth anniversary, a feat industry insiders thought impossible when the company debuted in Nashville in 2002. TNA, once labeled as a promotion that wouldnât last more than a few months, will come to the Memphis to celebrate a worldwide promotion spanning over 110 countries in six years.
Here's a look at this week's WWE Smackdown tapings. The show is set to air tomorrow night...Â
- Highlight Reel with Batista. Chris Jericho says Batista probably wanted to be the one to retire Ric Flair instead. Segment ends with Batista laying out Jericho with a Batista Bomb. We love this potential Chris Jericho heel turn.
- WWE U.S. Champion MVP defeated Tommy Dreamer. Matt Hardy was on commentary during the match.
- Chavo Guerrero defeated Jamie Noble.
- Big Show defeated Mark Henry via DQ when Great Khali interfered. Segment ended with Khali slamming Big Show (and no one caring).
- Cherry defeated Victoria.
- Vladimir Kozlov defeated Leroy Kidcade (local wrestler).
- World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker vs. Batista ended in a Count Out. Edge, The Edgeheads and Chavo all got involved in a big brawl. Vickie announced a re-match between Undertaker and Batista for the World Title next week.
Great Britain's The Sun conducted an interview with new TNA Champion Samoa Joe this week. Here are some highlights from it:
Whether TNA Wrestling waited too long to put the title on him: Iâve really never been concerned with that. A lot of fans say this title run is long overdue and that they canât believe TNA havenât given it to me until now. But, for me, thatâs part of the build and anticipation. When things are overdue, and the fans want it bad enough, then thatâs the time to make it happen.
On whether TNA's "homegrown" talent can reach the recognition level of Kurt Angle and Sting: Itâs going to be a slow steady process. The company has hopes of brilliant leaps and bounds in a short space of time, but in reality it takes years to build that fan base and recognition.
On whether he has been approached to work for WWE: Weâve had talks. Right now, for where Iâm at in my career and the position Iâm in, TNA is better for me. As a performer you always want to work with everybody and get a shot at doing everything. But Iâm in no real rush. I really enjoy working in TNA. And now Iâve got the belt â itâs time to make a legacy.
Samoa Joe always comes across well in interviews. He's candid about the industry and open about his hopes in it. We wish him a long title reign.
The following are the results for TNA iMPACT, set to tonight...
The show opens with new champion Samoa Joe dedicating his title win and reign to the fans. Scott Steiner comes out and awards Petey Williams his X-Division title shot, then starts ripping on Joe about Sacrifice. Kurt Angle comes out and announces that he is going to use his rematch clause on next week's Impact.
Backstage, Rhino and Christian Cage arrive. Team 3D show up and try to plant the seed in Rhino's head that he can't trust Cage. Segment ends up with Team 3D, James Storm and Robert Roode all attacking them and laying them out.
TNA X-Division champion Jay Lethal pinned Johnny Devine. Petey Williams attacked Lethal and nailed a tornado DDT onto the title shot briefcase. Williams opened the briefcase and slammed Lethal's head inside it. He announces he is taking his title shot now, nails the Canadian Destroyer and pins Lethal for the belt. New X-Division champion.
Matt Morgan comes to the ring and cuts a promo on the sacrifices he made for Jim Cornette, only to be dismissed as part of TNA management. Morgan promised to be a "Blueprint" (his OVW nickname) for giants in professional wrestling.
Kaz and Super Eric capture the TNA Tag Team championship, defeating AJ Styles & Tomko and LAX in a Three-Way bout when Eric pinned Styles.
Rhino and Christian defeated Team 3D. Rhino accidentally gored Cage, but then Devon accidentally clotheslined Ray and Rhino scored the pin. Afterwards, 3D got into it with each other and security separated them.
Jim Cornette, AJ Styles and Tomko come to the ring to resolve the Tag Team championship issue. Kaz and Super Eric come out and Super Eric acts as if he doesn't know who Eric Young is. Jim Cornette strips them of the tag titles, but won't give the belts back to Styles and Tomko. He says he will make an official decision next week.
TNA Knockout champ Awesome Kong defeated Roxxi. After the match Kong and Saheed beat down Roxxi Laveaux until Gail Kim and ODB made the save.
Booker T & Sting & BG James defeated Robert Roode & James Storm & Kip James after Matt Morgan interfered. Booker gets upset Morgan got involved and has words with him and Sting.
Jim Ross has updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. In it, the best WWE announced of all-time tells fans to be patient with the company's latest one:
"I spoke with Mike Adamle, who replaced Joey (Styles), at length Monday night after Raw about his new assignment. Mike is a former world class athlete who played in the NFL so Mikeâs natural, competitive nature will help the former running back in his new venture.
Wrestling fans can be tough to please at times and there is no doubt that Mike will have to earn the audienceâs confidence, which will be a work in progress.
"Hopefully, wrestling fans will give Adamle the opportunity to settle in and develop his wrestling broadcasting skills..."
We'll give him time, JR. But the guy didn't seem to know basic wrestling holds and even failed to announced superstars' names correctly on Tuesday night. How much leeway does he get?
We talk a lot about WWE Divas (and can you blame us?), but don't worry TNA Knockouts. We haven't forgotten about you.
Here are a couple pieces of news regarding these TNA Wrestling beauties:
- A new backstage interview girl by the name of Lauren Brooke debuted at Sunday's TNA Lockdown. She was hired at the urging of Spike TV officials, who want more women involved in the backstage segments on Impact. Crystal Louthan is likely to continue in her similar role, as well, as TNA will simply have two women doing the backstage announcing.
- It was announced at this week's Impact taping that all of the Knockouts will be participating in a "Makeover Battle Royal" at TNA Sacrifice; the final two competitors will compete right then and there in a Ladder Match. The loser of the match will receive a "Britney Spears Makeover" by having her head shaved bald.
During an interview with The Stranglehold radio show on KFNS radio in St. Louis, Samoa Joe said he'll be signing a new contract with TNA Wrestling. He explained the holdup in negotiations has been an issue with trademarks.
"I believe tomorrow me and TNA will be coming to terms," Joe said. "We had some trademark issues to work out and that's actually been stalling the process... I had trademarks pending and now they got put through, and just the timetable wasn't right. TNA, of course, they want to get me signed and locked down. I mean, I do have their championship. I believe by tomorrow I should be signed, sealed, and delivered to TNA."
Yesterday morning, Congresswoman Sue Myrick made a speech on the floor of the United States House of Representatives honoring Ric Flair. Seriously. This is what our Congress is spending time doing.
