Huge Update On Backstage Heat Against Stacy Keibler
Story By: Matthew Boone
July 13, 2002

There is a debate in the locker room as to which side wrestlers take on the management/Stacy Keibler drama as of late. Jim Ross stirred the pot when he questioned the theory of being a diva to being a blessing or a curse - which was directed towards Keibler.

Apparently Keibler has been skipping out on wrestling sessions with road agent Dave "Fit" Finlay citing exhaustion as her reason for missing the sessions. She has also been frowned upon for arriving to buildings for shows later than scheduled. She is usually one of the last people to show up, and earliest to leave.

However, some feel Keibler shouldn't be expected to practice wrestling claiming every WWE diva shouldn't have to prove they can take bumps. Some wrestlers feel Stacy is there to look good and mainly act in skits with Vince McMahon and other backstage segments, not get in the ring and wrestle. So those few feel she shouldn't be under fire for skipping out on wrestling sessions just to prove she can take bumps if she'll rarely ever need to and would only be skinned up and bruised when it comes time for her to step in front of the camera for her usual backstage skits.

I heard this somewhere earlier this week that Lita will be able to wear a softer collar starting this week!
She will have to switch back to her harder collar if she is driving or exercising

Lita is now able to get along without wearing the hard collar she had to wear following neck surgery a few months ago. For anything strenuous that causes her neck and upper body to move around a lot, Lita has to put the hard collar back on, including while she is sleeping. For the most part she is not in need of the collar and gets to look forward to several months of rehabilitation as she prepares herself for a WWE return which is currently tentatively scheduled for around March or April of next year.

Trish Stratus Injured After Bra & Panties Mud Match

August 22, 2002

The following are excerpts from a WWE.com article concerning Trish being injured during her mud match. The full article is at: www.wwe.com/news/headlines/1167907

The former Women's Champion and the man once known as "Li'l Naitch" [Charles Robinson] had severely irritated eyes after the Stratus vs. Stacy Keibler Bra & Panties Mud Match on RAW. (Robinson was also tossed in the pool of mud.)

"Everyone involved had graininess in our eyeballs," Stratus told WWE.com in a phone interview. "We knew it was just a matter of getting all that sand and mud out."

But Stratus said that so many people approached her after the match to make sure she was OK, that she didn't notice that the towel that someone handed to her had menthol on it. When she wiped her face with it, the menthol only further irritated the problem.

"Suddenly I couldn't open my eyes," Stratus said. "They were like, 'Oh whoa, we need to send you to the hospital.'"

Doctors also encouraged Robinson to visit the medical facility -- "(I went) not because I'm a wimp, but because they told me to," he said.

But they ended up sitting in the emergency room for 90 minutes. By then, the swelling and irritation had subsided.

"I looked at Trish and she looked at me," Robinson said. "And I said, 'I'm feeling better' and she said, 'I'm feeling better.' And we left."

Backstage News Concerning The Future Of WWE's Divas

The following news is derived from Buck Woodward & 1Wrestling:

If you are a fan of WWE TV, you know by now that Molly Holly is the only wrestler with permission to appear on both WWE shows. Because the Undisputed Title was "split", so to speak, the women's title is the only belt giving multi-roster privileges.

Although RAW seems to be where Molly is suited best as the show has more women on it and she has the Chris Nowinski angle, there are a few concerns. Lita and Jazz, regarded as the best female workers in WWE, are injured. That leaves Trish, Victoria, Stacy, Terri, and Jacqueline as the main divas. RAW's writer, Brian Gerwirtz, has a habit of using women in T & A matches, as opposed to wrestling, causing a problem for Molly to defend the women's title.

However, Smackdown clearly doesn't have the talent in the division. Between Nidia, Torrie, Dawn Marie, and Ivory (who is not used very much due to Tough Enough), there is not much talent when it comes to "women's wrestling". Thus, Molly has a quandary when it comes to competing on Smackdown.

It seems that RAW will be the focus of the women's division, but right now WWE seems to be using women to take table bumps and "attract" male fans, as opposed to wrestling. When Jazz makes her return, that may change.

I also read a few days ago that Jazz is hoping to return to the wwe in december- not long until we have the women's division back yeh!
