If you follow me and you hate wrestling prepare to either a) learn to love it, b) deal, or c) unfollow me because I’ve officially vacated my wrestling blog, so I will now be posting more (not a TON) wrestling on here.
Thanks for your time lovelies.

Surprisingly enough, this whole Diva Twitter thing is just fueling my desire to get into that ring. Since I read the article and saw the Tweets this morning, all I’ve been doing is coming up with promos, angles, stories for this whole thing. What would I do if I was in this situation. I find this whole thing fascinating to be honest. What have girls like Allison Danger been talking about recently? The Womanist Revolution.
Now, we have this conflict. We have this battle between “real” female wrestlers and “model” female wrestlers. Who’s in the wrong? Who’s really at fault here? Now, you can’t really bash all model-turned-wrestlers because that would be ridiculous. Trish Strauts for example, a model before wrestler. So to classify all women who were models beforehand as women who “don’t love wrestling” or “are bad wrestlers” is very, very ignorant.
So, who’s right in this situation? It has been shown that these models can become talented wrestlers. Layla is another perfect example. But it has also been shown that they can’t become good wrestlers. Is the argument of this whole anti-model thing fair? No. But does it have good reasoning? Yes, of course.
You have to understand though this whole model debate isn’t just reserved for women. It’s really a widespread issue in wrestling in general. A perfect example of that is Mason Ryan; a good looking dude who can’t wrestle for shit. It’s not just the women.
I really do think this anti-model crusade is a little stupid. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of women’s wrestling, let’s focus on the positives. We still have girls who love wrestling, we still have girls who want change. I really do think change is coming. You can even tell with the current Divas (who aren’t Nattie and Beth) want change too. The Bellas on Twitter today were making a story, making the Divas newsworthy. They’re making it interesting. We need conflict, we need stories. The main thing that women’s wrestling is missing in WWE is characters. This conflict is needed right now, even if you don’t agree with Brie and Nikki. And NEWS FLASH, that’s the point. They want you upset, they want you to be mad. It’s sparking emotion in women’s wrestling. It’s making it interesting, which is something it hasn’t been for a long time.

I had this weird moment tonight…
It was right when the three count was made and CM Punk became the WWE Champion. I jumped off of the couch, which I had previously been sitting on the edge of, and started screaming. Initially I was screaming because Punk had won. That was it. Not because he was WWE Champion, not because it was his last match, but simply because he had won. He won this absolutely incredible match that epitomizes wrestling for me. Then I momentarily stopped jumping up and down, took a deep breath, and realized that CM Punk was finally WWE Champion.
It struck me as weird that that wasn’t the reason I was completely marking out. And then I slowly realized that this wasn’t just any ol’ WWE Championship match. This was a match that brought me back to why I’m so in love with this industry and made me remember why I want to make this my career. It fueled a fire in me. It fueled the same fire that was lit the first time I saw Ricky Steamboat and Randy Savage’s WrestleMania III match. And now, just like that match, CM Punk v. John Cena at Money in the Bank 2011 is one of my favorite matches of all time.
So thank you CM Punk. Thank you John Cena. And thank you WWE. Thank you for putting on one of the most incredible wrestling matches that I have ever witnessed. Thank you intensifying my passion for this industry. Thank you for putting your bodies on the line for the sake of having an unforgettable match because I will never forget this night.
