SmackDown Results: 3/26/10 - Beth Phoenix Excuses Vickie Guerrero

Beth Phoenix has had her eyes set on Michelle McCool's Women's Title since arriving to SmackDown early in the fall. But a rising Mickie James took the spotlight, leaving Beth to side with McCool to take on her only threat, at the time.

Yet, with Mickie James taking time off to promote her debut country album, Beth Phoenix was certain that her time to challenge for the Women's Title had come. That was until Divas GM, Vickie Guerrero denied the Glamazon the opportunity. Instead of continuing to take a back seat, Beth Phoenix created an enemy within Vickie Guerrero, which culminated into this match between Beth and Vickie.

Much like the evil streak of Mr. McMahon, Vickie altered the match in her favor, making it into a 5-on-1 handicap match. Vickie Guerrero was joined by Women's Champion, Michelle McCool, Divas' Champion, Maryse, Layla, and Alicia Fox. Let's face it, Beth Phoenix is the most dominate "diva" in all of the WWE; heck, Beth Phoenix is the most dominating women's wrestler in all the WWE. And for Todd Grisham to comment, "She's dominate, but not that dominate," when introduced to her four other competitors, one doesn't simply know how dominate Beth can be. In addition, Beth Phoenix is a women's wrestler competing against two models, a former teacher, a dancer, and the widow of Eddie Guerrero, how hard can it be?

The match started off with Layla over confident of Phoenix's odds of winning the match, but in all honesty, Beth can tear her apart. Then during a Guerrilla Press lift, McCool started nudging the head of Beth Phoenix. You might as well be poking a bear or sticking your hand in a tank of piranhas, because Beth helicopter spinned Layla to knock down McCool. After that all hell broke loose as Beth didn't want to wait for the tags, but threw them into the ring and double clotheslined divas 2 at a time. But the numbers game was too much, and a simple kick to the face did her in for the 3-count, much like what happened to Orton on RAW. And just like McMahon, Vickie was tagged in to cover Beth for that 3-count.

And if things couldn't get any worse for Beth Phoenix, McCool suggested that Vickie execute the Frog Splash over the Glamazon. Indeed, it would have been an odd tribute to her late-husband, but the ribbiting splash was held off as Mickie James, Kelly-Kelly, Eve Torres, and Gail Kim cleared the ring. Which it has been announced on wwe.com that all 9, plus Vickie, will compete in a 10 Diva Tag Match at WrestleMania.

And the coup de grâce, Beth got some payback on Vickie Guerrero by accidently ripping off Vickie's pants. Now, I know this is not the wardrobe malfunction that men dream of when watching the Divas wrestle, but it was possibly the most hilarious thing on television. WWE is TV-PG, really? Because I believe that her grandma panties which read "Excuse Me" in bedazzled jewels just blinded the WWE Universe. Beth Phoenix, much like Melina, has crossed over from heel to fan favorite in miraculous fashion.

As for the WrestleMania match, whether it is a dark match or simply five minutes, it beats any Divas match in the past 3 years. There is no Playboy gimmicked matches, Lumber jills, or spoof Divas Battle Royal, it will be 5 on 5 in a clean match.

SmackDown Results: 3/12/10 - Tiffany Joins SmackDown

The Glamazon's Biggest Challenge to Date

With Mickie James out of action, due to a staph infection, this leaves the SmackDown Divas division without a fan favorite. That was until Tiffany, the former ECW GM, decided that she was going to compete on SmackDown.

We witnessed last week Tiffany babysitting Rey Mysterio's daughter, Aalyah, during what would be a turning point for Rey Mysterio's feud with C.M. Punk. And without ECW, Tiffany's status within the WWE was questionable. However, for those that follow FCW, WWE's developmental territory, Tiffany has been training to become a Diva since 2007.

The Special Consultant of SmackDown, Vickie Guerrero, scheduled Tiffany's debut match to be against the Women's Champion, Michelle McCool. There is no question that Michelle McCool and Layla (Team LayCool) have manipulated Vickie Guerrero with false praises of being "simply flawless." Much like Edge in the past, Michelle realizes the importance of befriending someone in power. And what looked to be a squash match for Tiffany, turned into a hell of a brawl.

Tiffany, with wrestling gear resembling a sexy cheerleader, carried herself towards the ring with presence. McCool, taking Tiffany lightly, found herself in the mist of a fury of clotheslines, drop kicks, and forearms. Tiffany made an impact by taking the fight to the outside and Irish whipping McCool to the barricades. However, Vickie cost Tiffany the match with a blatant tackle. And to make matters worse, McCool drove her knee to the skull of Tiffany against the barricades.

Yet, before the 'Simply Flawless' girls could take out Tiffany, the Glamazon rushed to the ring to deliver some punishment. After a double lariat, LayCool were licking their wounds on the outside, allowing Beth Phoenix to drive Vickie to the canvas. And before Beth could deliver the finishing blow with the GlamSlam, Vickie made her escape.

Let's take this back to last week when Beth Phoenix asked Vickie Guerrero when she would have her title shot against Michelle McCool. Vickie simply replied, never. Beth Phoenix, no doubt the most dominating women's wrestling in all of the WWE past or present, has her biggest challenge to date - the authority of Vickie Guerrero.

Can this story line become the biggest thing to hit the Divas' division since the Mickie James-Trish Stratus rivalry? Could this feud of authority become the biggest thing since Stone Cold and Vince McMahon? I leave it up to you, the WWE Universe, to decide.

WWE Superstars Matches Preview: 9/24/2009

Tonight on WWE Superstars, like every week, expect the unexpected!


ECW: Goldust vs. William Regal

- William Regal is desperately trying to get back into the ECW title picture, but will Goldust prove to be a speed bump along the road to Extreme?

Divas: Michelle McCool & Layla vs. Melina & Maria

- McCool and Layla have done everything possible to ruin Maria's relationship with Ziggler, while they just don't like Melina because she proves a threat to the Women's Title. However, Maria believes that Melina has been trying to humiliate her by posting photos of Ziggler's possible soiree - so things are not looking good for this team.

Smackdown: Matt Hardy vs. Kane

Matt Hardy has been out of action since tapping out to the Anaconda Vice, how will he fare when up against the giant who took out the Great Khali out of action?

RAW: Chris Masters vs. Primo

Neither superstar has been seen on RAW for weeks, but they have made their home on WWE Superstars. Masters has destroyed Santino time and time again. How will Primo fare against the Master Lock? It will be a test of Strength vs. Speed tonight on WWE Superstars!

Dolph Ziggler Framed; McCool's Gossip Girl

For weeks, Melina has been cautioning Maria about Ziggler, but Maria says she can take care of herself and to butt out. Well, in a backstage segment, Dolph Ziggler is looking for Maria and finds McCool instead.

Dolph Ziggler may be a heel in the ring, but he does have a soft spot for Maria. - Not what you expected from a heel?

McCool trying to spin her web of decent - asks Dolph why he's wasting his time with a girl like Maria when he can be with a Woman like her? Ziggler not wanting anything to do with her continues to ask if she's seen Maria.

What he got was a set up, as McCool tripped into Ziggler's arms and Layla snatched a photo of the "deception."

Dolph Ziggler has not had an easy Friday, first he is framed, which will probably blow out of proportion next week; and he got called Mr. Ziggles and forced to leave the arena.

Maria is the one salvation point that he has, and if McCool brings that photo to Maria - it'll destroy everything Ziggler has.

For the Women's match of the night, it's Melina vs. Layla. Really? This should be a quick match, right?

Well, interestingly enough, Layla has indeed improved in the ring; however, she's still a long ways to reaching Melina's status.

Even though Melina is the better wrestler, Layla still manages to pick up the win, thanks to the assist of McCool's crutch to the midsection.

Michelle McCool with her sidekick Layla, are pretty much out to destroy the lives of the other divas - Maria and Melina. So... high school.
