Hey everyone!
I know I’ve been slow on updating the site but there’s very good reason… I’ve just graduated from University, I’m starting a new job that has lots of training and I’m moving to a new flat. Busy, busy.
So I’ve decided to let things settle down and return to blogging refreshed.
I will return the weekend of Summerslam!
For now, I hope this tides you over…
Hey everyone!
Sorry for the lack of update but I was being lazy. Meh, what you gonna do?

Marvellous,

Hey everyone,
Well coming off a great Extreme Rules we go right into Raw tonight.
So I figured I’d post the 2nd Bitch Broadcast.
My apologies for its lateness, btw. Also, this was recorded last week so there aren’t any Extreme Rules spoilers in there!
Enjoy.

Today, Wrestlebitch turned 1!
A year ago today I posted my first post about the WWE Raw draft.
I never thought in a million years I’d have such a fun, loyal and engaging reader base.
Your comments, tweets, follows mean a lot to me. I know I’m just another website in the huge ocean of Wrestling websites but I hope I offer you something fun and unique.
Here’s to many more!
Cheers.

Hey!
As our 1st Birthday looms closer, I wanted to offer you a new way of getting the recap.
So I thought and thought and thought I’d try audio!
Enjoy the first (and maybe last) ever Bitch Broadcast.
If you like it, let me know, I’ll make more.

Hey everyone!
Yes, that’s right… I am back. I took some time off to run in my Student Union election and, guess what, I won!
There ain’t no party like a WWE soft porn party so here are so sexy caps from Smackdown!
Enjoy

Hey everyone!
I know I’ve been rather quiet as of late but I’ve had a few issues with my laptop and things. I’m now hooking my laptop up to my TV so that issue is sorted.
I am, however, having to take a break until the end of March. Nothing serious but I’m running for election at my Student’s Union and it all begins tomorrow and I’ll need to focus.
I will be back, however, and I promise I’ll be better than ever.
For now, my parting gift, some sexy shots of Dolph Ziggler from this week’s Smackdown… after the jump.

Hi everyone,
I have several reasons for the lack of recap/gallery. The first being that I am back home from University for the weekend. So I want to spend time with my family.
The second being that I haven’t got a lot of time as I’ve been ill this week.
The third being that, whilst on the train home, my already broken screen got broken-er…
But, don’t worry, I didn’t completely forget the big story from Raw…
WE SAW THE MIZ’S BUTTCRACK.
OH YEAHHHH.
Until I can blog properly,

The proposed SOPA bill has been on the minds of everyone. We’ve seen the protests, read the arguments and we’ve all had that Michael Jackson spam thing on Facebook (they post a picture of him and say that somebody could get more jail time for posting that picture than Conrad Murray got for killing him). But, it’s very easy to not care when it’s so generalised. Right now the internet is in a state of hysteria but what if we personalise it to something we all love; the WWE.
The WWE has spent recent years focussing on its “community”. They’ve set up the WWE Universe, they post people’s tweets, and their superstars follow their fansites. It’s no mystery that WWE hate dirt sheets. They often spoil upcoming storylines; speculate about personal lives and their users bitch and moan about everything the WWE does. These people have become known as the Internet Wrestling Community (the IWC). It could be argued the IWC isn’t a new thing, it’s been around since the AOL years but I believe it is in the past 5 or so years that it’s really become a thing. Sure, the WWE trialled giving their fans a say with Cyber Sunday but there was still that block: this is what we do, like it or lump it.
These days, it’s the WWE fans that MAKE the superstars. It was Twitter/YouTube users that made Zack Ryder get noticed, it was the on-going hate blogs against Cena that’s causing him to make what is seemingly a heel turn. The WWE needs the IWC to survive. It could be argued that Wrestlebitch is also part of the IWC and I guess you’re right. But users of my site will noticed something, something I’m very famous for; I screencap WWE shows. I’m unapologetic about this because I don’t upload entire episodes, I don’t spoil the shows, I simply use the images to promote the WWE. A company I love. So far, I’ve not received any complaint from WWE. Heck, even its superstars have engaged with me. But, if SOPA were to be introduced, the IWC as we know it could be destroyed.
If you look at most WWE blogs/dirtsheets/fansites you’ll see copyrighted image after image. For years now the WWE has let that happen unattested. Truth is, there’s that many of them they probably don’t want the legal cost of it. I’m not saying WWE always treats their fans well but I’ve never seen a major story of WWE trying to take down a site. Because they know they need us. If we’re not posting images, recaps, articles, then WWE isn’t relevant. SOPA could take the decision out of WWE’s hands because, potentially, it could take down YouTube, Tumblr, WordPress the list goes on. These are all integral to the IWC.
You’re probably sitting there thinking it’s an over-reaction. Surely the WWE will benefit from it because people will go to WWE.com. And you’re right. People would have no choice but to flock to the website but that has its own problems. WWE.com articles are based on Superstar’s current gimmicks. They don’t break kayfabe. They don’t discuss if the shows are actually good. They can’t really comment on rumour. The fact of the matter is, without the IWC, the WWE can’t get any real feedback.
BUT WHAT ABOUT RATINGS?!? I hear you cry. And to that I roll my eyes heavily. The ratings system is an antiquated one desperate for an update. We don’t watch TV like we used to, it’s no longer appointment TV. We DVR it, we watch it online, we buy it on iTunes… the ratings for WWE will always be low compared to the past because the demographic is younger, smarter and more aware of the different platforms in which the WWE can be enjoyed.
So I beg of you, sign petitions, kick up a fuss. SOPA may be delayed but I can guarantee that congress will try to slip this in via some other re-worked and cleverly-worded legislation. If you don’t care about how it effects everything else then just think of the WWE. Do you really think the WWE can survive without the IWC?
Because I don’t.
Tonight marks one of the most exciting nights for WWE in a long time.
The much anticipated 2nd January edition of RAW where the crazy “It Begins” videos and what is behind them is finally revealed.
The internet has been rife with rumours of what it could be so I’m throwing my hat into the ring…
1. The Undertaker’s sex change
2. Chris Jericho’s realisation that Fozzy aren’t that great
3. Your Girlfriend’s Period
4. Stephanie McMahon’s Diet
5. Triple H’s WWE take-over resulting in him holding every single WWE Title and being the only person on the roster
6. Kharma returns… tag teaming with her baby Kharma Jr
7. A 11 hour non-stop Nickleback concert
8. Osama Bin Laden has not been compromised but actually signed by Executive Vice President Of Talent Relations & Interim RAW General Manager John Laurinaitis
9. Jeff Hardy’s 10575th stint in rehab
10. A Diva’s match that last’s longer than 40 seconds
What do you think it will be? Comment or tweet me!
Speaking of Twitter, I’ll be tweeting throughout the show so be sure to get involved.
