What's the best lesbian angle in wrestling?
Gay characters have been a staple in pro wrestling ever since Gorgeous George and the black and white television era, but lesbians have only recently become a part of the show. For about the last twelve years the largest wrestling companies in North America have emphasized storylines and characters aimed at adult audiences. As part of that push, promoters introduced lesbians onto their unique programming. It was a no-brainer.
Today I'd like to ask my readers which lesbian-themed storyline they believe is the greatest in wrestling's history. Usually "greatest" lists can be debated all night and day, however, the wrestling business only has a few storylines of this nature to choose from. Unlike gay villains and other wrestling cliches, lesbian characters and angles remain scarce within the industry. That fact could either make the selection process easier, or just much more difficult. I've detailed each memorable same-sex angle below, along with some pros and cons to consider when putting in your two cents. If I've forgotten an angle or simply weren't aware of one, let me know about it!
THE ANGLE: Beulah and Kimona, ECW's only lesbian storyline (and also it's only bisexual one). Shane Douglas promised to drop a bombshell on his opponent, Raven, the night they faced off for the ECW championship. Raven had replaced Beulah with Kimona after Beulah left Raven for his long-time nemesis Tommy Dreamer, claiming she was pregnant with Dreamer's baby. Kimona dumped Raven soon after herself and threw her support behind Douglas for the upcoming title match. Before the match took place, Douglas announced that Beulah wasn't really pregnant, and that she'd been cheating on BOTH Raven and Tommy Dreamer the entire time. It turned out she was cheating with Kimona! The girls kissed mid-ring to prove this. Luckily, Dreamer was "hardcore" enough to handle them both. He escorted the ladies back to the locker room, and was co-managed until Kimona left ECW.
PRO: The angle was timed perfectly. It took place during the height of shows such as Jerry Springer, where similar stories could be found on daytime TV. Also, the lesbian storyline wrote out Beulah's baby in a way that didn't involve a cliche miscarriage.
CON: The angle, which pretty much went nowhere after the kiss, got ECW kicked off of some TV networks. It doesn't seem worth it, all things considered.
THE ANGLE: Trish and Mickie, WWE's lesbian stalker. Mickie James jumped the railing and made the save for Trish Stratus a few times on WWE television before introducing herself to Stratus backstage. Trish identified Mickie as the girl who continuously wrote her letters and such. Her "number one fan" as it were. The two bonded and Mickie "learned to wrestle" from Trish. Slowly but surely Mickie James became increasingly obsessed with Trish Stratus, and even jealous when Trish announced she had a boyfriend. Stratus knew James was a bit psychotic, but didn't have the heart to tell her to buzz off. Finally, after a lengthy buildup that included a Christmas kiss under the missletoe, Stratus worked up the nerve to tell off James. This allowed James to turn on Stratus heading into WrestleMania, and produced an exciting feud for the Women's title that hasn't been duplicated since.
PRO: WWE women's wrestling was given a decent storyline and a good amount of airtime, while continuing to produce excellent matches between the ropes.
CON: Mickie James had nowhere to go but down. This feud got her over with the crowd, even to the point that they were cheering her during the WrestleMania match. Unfortunately, James has since been reduced to just another Diva.
THE ANGLE: Dawn and Torrie, a wedding and a funeral. Dawn Marie began to make eyes at Torrie Wilson's father, Al. It turned out Al felt the same way. Torrie wasn't a fan of this at all considering the age gap, and because she knew what a heel Dawn Marie was. Eventually Dawn and Al Wilson were engaged to be married, but Marie told Torrie she'd break off the engagement if Torrie agreed to sleep with her. Torrie agreed, but Marie went ahead with the ceremony anyway because she was evil! To make matters worse, she killed Al Wison the night of the honeymoon via marathon sex. The girls brawled at Al's SmackDown funeral, and had a blowoff match on pay-per-view.
PRO: The Al Wilson angle is now infamous, earning its place in history at wrestlecrap.com. It also served a purpose for WWE at the time: Producing event-driven television. Weddings, funerals, graduations, etc. Every show has them, and WWE wanted more of them at this point in time. They managed to get TWO events out of ONE storyline. Also, just like Trish and Mickie, the angle gave women's wrestling more airtime.
CON: Everything else! Torrie Wilson was pseudo-raped. The payoff match to the storyline lacked any kind of intensity or seriousness. The angle bored many viewers along the way. Oh, and Al Wilson's lack of both acting and wrestling abilities didn't help matters.
THE ANGLE: HLA, a sexy hate crime. The SmackDown wedding ceremony of Billy and Chuck was gaining WWE a lot of positive publicity. At the time, the Raw and SmackDown brands were also feuding with one another. To counter the mainstream coverage of SmackDown's gay wedding, Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff decided to have lesbians on his program. The lesbians weren't getting married however. They were simply making out and removing one another's clothes for no apparent reason. Three Minute Warning interrupted the in-ring lovefest by attacking both girls before too much skin could get revealed.
PRO: It furthered a storyline, and continued to build Three Minute Warning as heels.
CON: Women getting beaten up for being lesbians, even by bad guys, sends a terrible message. The fact that this angle took place during a time when WWE was getting praised for gay-friendly TV makes it an even more questionable decision.
THE ANGLE: Marlena and Sable, the lesbian angle that lacked contact. The Goldust character had been "playing mind games" with male opponents since his debut in the WWF, but information about his valet Marlena was relatively unknown. When Goldust began a feud with Marc Mero, the valets became the reason for the fighting. Mero implied during an interview that Marlena sexually harrassed Sable in a parking lot. Innuendo continued to lace the promos between the two, leading to a forgettable blowoff match.
PRO: The angle developed the Marlena character, and created a nice mid-card storyline for a brief while.
CON: Possibly due to TV restrictions at the time, the two valets never actually interacted physically during the angle. All the talk of unwanted sexual advances that the viewer never got to see took away a lot of interest in the storyline.
I look forward to seeing how everyone votes, and here's hoping we have more gay angles to select from in the future.

Raw's giveaway, PPV results & another question for my readers
Huge update today!
First of all, the Associated Press has released information concerning WWE's recently announced million dollar giveaway. I've been getting a lot of questions about it, so I thought I'd pass along the information available via this blog. As expected, there's a catch or two involved. The full AP article can be found at the following URL: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5indhctjJFAtfOVHroIOX_lG5-_GwD912264G3.
One thing that I find curious is WWE announcing they'll give out the codes at the start of each Raw episode. What would make the casual fan stick around to watch the rest of Raw after getting the code? WWE is doing this promotion to increase ratings, so logically they really shouldn't be telling you when during the broadcast the code will be given out. I suspect the only people who will enter this contest are the wrestling fans who already watch Raw now. Myself included. Hey, a man has to pay for gas, right? The giveaway begins June 9th.
Here are the short results for WWE's One Night Stand pay-per-view:
Jeff Hardy beat Umaga in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
The Big Show beat CM Punk, Tommy Dreamer, John Morrison, Bam Neely, and Chavo Guerrero in a 6 man Singapore Cane match to earn a shot at Kane's ECW championship at the Night Of Champions pay-per-view. Big Show became hurt legit during the match.
John Cena beat JBL in a First Blood match.
Beth Phoenix beat Melina in an I Quit match.
Note: At this point in the show Cena did a backstage skit with Mickie James. Cena said he enjoyed "girl on girl submissions." Cena's character has made both pro-gay and anti-gay statements in the past. I guess this one would fall on the pro side, technically. During this segment ECW's Mike Adamle suggested Cena and James were a couple, so I guess WWE is continuing on with the romance angle between them.
Batista beat Shawn Michaels in a Stretcher Match.
Triple H beat Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match. Orton may or may not have been hurt legit during the match.
Edge beat The Undertaker in a TLC match to win the vacant World title. According to the match stipulation, The Undertaker must now retire from the entire WWE.
Finally, I'd like to once again pose a question to you, my readers. Recently I've been struggling with a question: What's the best way to present this blog's content? On one hand, I want to present the content as professionally and close to journalism as possible. On the other hand, I feel like a little editorializing and personal humor interjected into the entries would add some more flavor to my blog, while also not hurting anyone. You can certainly find a ton of other so-called wrestling journalists who aren't shy about interjecting their own opinions into articles where they may not belong, but does that make it okay for me to do as well, or would I then become just as annoying as they are by stating opinions rather than strictly facts? What do YOU look for in a pro wrestling blog? E-mail me at donaldtbishop@yahoo.com or simply post a reply. I look forward to hearing from you.

threesomes and the WWE title
Not since the lesbian twist to the Dreamer/Beulah pregnancy angle in the original ECW have we seen a wrestling storyline involving a threesome. Monday's Raw changed that-although it was most likely due to a character misspeaking or a writer not realizing the double entendre of what they'd written down. Mistake or not though, I believe that great potential for money lies within the remark made. WWE now has the chance to elevate one of its young stars into the main event scene and freshen up the Raw brand.
Last week I commented on Mickie James' new relationship with John Cena. As it turned out, that segment was shot not to put John Cena into a romantic storyline, but rather to setup a Mickie James/Katie Lea feud over the Women's title. This week's backstage promo between James and Lea has already been blasted by the people at wrestlecrap.com. It was definitely a very confusing promo and will most likely be edited in any future WWE video packages. However, one part of it really interested me, so I thought I'd blog about it. Katie Lea implied during a portion of the promo that she and/or her on-screen brother Paul Burchill would have sex with John Cena if he would've gone out with them instead of Mickie James and her sibling the week before. The Paul Burchill/Katie Lea incest storyline was dropped a few weeks ago because WWE is rumored to want to take their product in a more "kid-friendly" direction, similar to their business model of the early 90's. Lea's implication in this promo suggests that the incest storyline might not only be back on, but may now involve main event level babyface John Cena! WWE will most likely ignore this part of the promo. As I said, it was clear this moment was meant to set up a solo feud with James and Lea. Expecting more to come out of it would be foolish. At best we might get a mixed tag team match on Raw one week pitting James and Cena against the Burchills, and this saddens me.
Lea and James fighting over John Cena, with brother Paul Burchill in the mix battling Cena along the way, could do a lot to freshen up the WWE product right now. The borderline incest already makes Paul Burchill a sexual deviant, so make him a bi one. Hell, make him all-out gay for John Cena while still doing suggestive things with his own sister. WWE could then easily hide behind the logic of "It's not incest because he's gay." Such a storyline would do a lot of things at once. It would give four wrestlers something to do instead of two. It would keep Cena out of the title hunt longer while he fights off the Burchills. It would create another romantic storyline which has proved to be successful for WWE numerous times in the past (see Hunter/Stephanie, Savage/Elizabeth, and Lita/Edge). Perhaps most importantly, it would elevate Paul Burchill. William Regal's suspension leaves a heel void that needs to be filled, and Burchill getting involved in a program with someone on the card as high up as John Cena could be just the ticket. Don't misunderstand me. As I said last week, I'd still much prefer Mickie James to be the psycho she was when she first came into WWE. Those days are long gone though, and I've accepted that. If a storyline like the one above were to take place, I could definitely live with it.
Particularly if WWE wanted to pay me to write it for them. ;)

Mickie James officially straight?
Mickie James' original character has been dead for some time now, but this past Monday on Raw the WWE creative team put the final nail in the coffin of what was once a very interesting character.
In a backstage skit, James invited John Cena out to the bar and Cena agreed. John Cena forgets that this is the same Mickie James who once stalked Trish Stratus. Cena forgets this because, of course, we the fans are also supposed to have forgotten about it. This skit, written a little differently, would've actually made for a perfect comedy moment while simultaneously making WWE look like a very moral organization. Cena could've brought up Mickie's past heel history and declined her offer to go out drinking because of it. Besides playing to some of Cena's strengths as a wise-cracking babyface, such a skit would've also sent the message that drinking is bad. Only "crazy girls" like Mickie James go get wasted, kids! Perhaps best of all, such a simple moment could've re-established Mickie James as a meaningful character in the women's divison.
After Trish Stratus left the company, WWE appeared to want to fill the void. Mickie James turned face and became "Trish lite." Since then, she has quickly degenerated into just another Raw diva. She is so far removed from her original, deep character at this point that you may as well start calling her Kane. Worse than losing her crazy personality along the way, Mickie lost the lesbian aspects to her character. Inviting John Cena out to the bar, coupled with her showing no interest in any of the other divas in years, suggests that Mickie has finally made the full transition from a psychotic lesbian or possibly psychotic bisexual to a sane and straight women's wrestler. She no longer stands out from any other women on Raw, aside from maybe her superior in-ring ability.
I don't know if this will be the start of a Cena/Mickie James love storyline or not, but I know I'll shed a tear when Mickie doesn't treat Cena like the male version of Trish.
