Your Two Cents: Favorite Non-Wrestlers

“Your Two Cents” is our interactive feature where we gauge the opinions of our Twitter and Facebook followers on different discussions in women’s wrestling.

This week, we’re asking this: There’s more to wrestling than what goes on in the ring, so we want to know: who are your favorite women who don’t/didn’t wrestle often? We’ve read your responses on our social media pages and picked some of the best submissions to highlight here on the website. As always, you can join the debate by leaving your comments!

Our Two Cents

Batting for Team DD this week, it’s Bobby giving us his personal opinion on this week’s topic:

Bobby: I’m sure it comes as no surprise that my favorite woman who hardly wrestled is none other than Miss Karen Jarrett! Karen got me invested into the Knockouts like I hadn’t been in so long, and that’s not all their fault but the thing is I am more entertained by seeing someone amuse me in segments than put on great matches. That’s not saying that I don’t enjoy watching matches, but sometimes I can drift off during one if I’m not seeing it in person, so having someone who was so funny and constantly on TNA every week getting the Knockouts segments was basically what I needed (and what I now miss).

Your Two Cents

Francisco Mata | Hard question… I would say Tiffany since she only wrestled a couple of matches on SmackDown. She was so gorgeous and she was an awesome general manager and she had the skill’s to back it up.
Greg Demeule | Any decent female manager. If you find a good one, you’ll always be entertained.
@Jakeyin612 | Women who knew to CONNECT with the audience. Terri Runnels and Debra were great in their manager roles.
Josue Guzman | That’s an easy one: Dixie Carter. TNA’s most important and most powerful woman is truly making it in a man’s world. Though TNA isn’t as big as WWE and is often bashed for “being the home for WWE rejects”, that hasn’t stopped the company from being in the business for a milestone of ten years! If it wasn’t for Dixie, we may have not been introduced to some of the greatest moments in women’s wrestling history that include the incredible Awesome Kong/Gail Kim feud, stables such as The Beautiful People and Mexican America, Karen Jarret being crowned VP of the Knockouts, etc.
Lorena Morales | Vickie Guerrero. The woman draws more heat with just two words than most heels do with a 10 minute promo.
Nicole Bellinghausen | Dawn Marie. I would LOVE to watch her get more active in the ring as she had immense talent and charisma, more so.. she is a beautiful woman!
Ozzy Valentine | No question, Stephanie McMahon! She was a valuable Women’s Champion despite the fact that she barely defended her title. This had everything to do w her manipulative nature outside the ring and her status as the spoiled, rotten McMahon princess. She even survived the three other formidable Divas like Chyna, Lita, and Trish Stratus during her active time as valet. And it was all her activity outside the ring that got the job done. If she couldn’t handle them in the ring, she had Triple H, Kurt Angle and her own father take them down. She helped make Raw and Smackdown must see TV. I think the current crop of valet Divas should take notes of Stephanie’s career.

And now we turn it over to you…

Your Two Cents: Favorite Wrestling Weddings

“Your Two Cents” is our interactive feature where we gauge the opinions of our Twitter and Facebook followers on different discussions in women’s wrestling.

This week, we’re asking this: ODB and Eric Young’s recent nuptials have us wondering: what is your favorite wrestling wedding? We’ve read your responses on our social media pages and picked some of the best submissions to highlight here on the website. As always, you can join the debate by leaving your comments!

Batting for Team DD this week, it’s Erin giving us her personal opinion on this week’s topic:


Erin: I think, by default, all wrestling weddings are required to be hot messes in some shape or form (save maybe Liz/Macho Man). There’s been weddings performed in underwear, weddings in drive-thru chapels, heart attacks, etc. But I think the wedding that most encapsulates that “soap opera on crack” essence of a wrestling wedding is the one between Lita and Kane. It’s got the “married against her will” aspect, a pregnant bride, an evil “maid of honor” in the form of Trish Stratus and, to top it off, two fights that end with the groom carrying away the unwilling bride. It was like a Disney movie if you twisted it, made it trashy and let the villain win. That’s the recipe for a memorable wrestling wedding.

Your Two Cents

Bobby Wells | Miss Elizabeth and Macho Man! Two icons. They are no doubt the best wrestling couple to ever happen. RIP to both of them. They’re in heaven now smiling and together again.

——————–

Jack White | WHAT YOU GONNA SAY? It has to be Goldust and Aksana‘s wedding. I had elements of the golden, hints of Dashing, a smidgen of shovel-beating and a sick heel turn at the end!

——————–

@Jaffney_Quinn | I think that Stephanie McMahon and HHH’s weddings will forever be my favorite. Great start/ending to a great era.

——————–

Josue Guzman | The most entertaining wedding, in my eyes, was the wedding of Al Wilson and Dawn Marie. This wedding was the climax in the long and memorable feud between Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson; a feud that was a career highlight for both women.

I remember tuning in to Smackdown every week to watch this soap opera storyline unfold. What started out as seduction soon evolved into forbidden love that caused a father and daughter to break apart. In a desperate attempt to save her father from Dawn’s clutches, Torrie agrees to spend one night with Dawn, only to discover that the wedding was still going to take place. When the night of the wedding arrives, Dawn decides to make this wedding no ordinary but a semi-nude wedding! With no objections from anyone, Al and Dawn became man and wife and went off to their honeymoon.

Sadly this honeymoon would be the last time these two spent together as Al passed away. In his honor, Al’s widow had a public viewing, that his daughter Torrie attended. Harsh words are exchanged and soon these words would turn in to blows. Step-Mother and Step-Mother would then meet in the ring at Royal Rumble.

Laura Alberts | Kane and Lita‘s by far. In an almost unpredictable way, I thought Lita was going to be “saved” by her former beau, Matt Hardy, from the ruthless Kane’s grasp, but to no avail, Kane ultimately threw Hardy off the stage, and thus turned Lita’s world upside down. And plus, we all got to see Lita’s rival, Trish Stratus, in a white lingerie piece, delivering one hell of a heel promo on the fiery redhead. It’s definitely one of my favorite “weddings” of all time, bar none!

——————–

Wil Mcerlean | Colonel Robert Parker and Sister (Sensational) Sherri, mainly because Sherri and Madusa got into it.
