Mission Accomplished!

WWE got some mainstream press that they were looking for as a result of using Jersey Shore cast member Snooki at WrestleMania 27 last night in Georgia.

Snooki was hardly in the six person tag match, which was thankfully short and sweet, though I do believe that seven-time Women's Champion Trish Stratus deserved way better for her return.

Snooki was impressive when she hit her first move; a handspring backsplash on Michelle McCool. Her second move, a cartwheel into a splash, looked a bit sloppy and botched. But she picked up the win over Michelle McCool, which was a bit amusing. I'm amazed Layla didn't have to take the pinfall.

Better Bring It To Mania...

Everybody is reporting in shock that Snooki might actually be -- gasp -- taking to her wrestling training better than people thought for her upcoming match at WrestleMania.

Snooki told the Hollywood Reporter that she is a former gymnast and a cheerleader. That is definitely a bit of an advantage. Working with Trish Stratus should also be a big help.

It's also being said that there is still heat on her with WWE Management over her behavior at the filming for Monday's bar fight between her and Trish -- dubbed the "Brunette Mafia" -- and LayCool, where she apparently showed up hours late, drinking heavily and just exhibiting less-than-professional behavior.

However, WWE is willing to let the behavior slide as she is only contracted to appear until Sunday's pay-per-view. I guess with that behavior, there goes her shot at being a full-time Diva.

Don't say I didn't warn you, Snooki.

Not What WWE Had Hoped For?

RingsideNews.Com is reporting that the vignette on Monday that aired between LayCool, Trish Stratus and Snooki was not what the WWE had originally hoped for.

Apparently, WWE only used the best footage that they could get out of the filming, which lasted for hours longer than it should have because of reports that Snooki was drunk and was late by four hours to filming.

On a related note, the guy who was slapped out in the vignette was a guy who ironically sometimes wrestles as the brother of TNA star Robbie E.

Snooki Being a Problem?

Multiple pro wrestling sites are reporting that WWE is having a less-than-stellar time with Snooki.

For those living under a rock, Snooki is set to team up with WWE Legendary Diva Trish Stratus and John Morrison to take on the team of Dolph Ziggler and LayCool, no doubt with Vickie Guerrero at ringside.

Anyways, for those who still don't know, over the past couple days, WWE filmed a bar-fight angle with LayCool, Trish and Snooki that is set to air this coming Monday on Raw.

However, multiple sites are reporting that Snooki delayed the filming for several hours, causing the shooting to go late. The multiple sites, citing sources, say that Snooki was drinking quite heavily through the day, being rude to the people in the bar, and claiming that once the Jersey Shore is finished, she is going to become a full-time WWE Diva.

I hate to tell Snooki this, but WWE doesn't take too friendly to this kind of behavior. It's been said WWE has had problems with Divas having bad behavior, including former Diva Tiffany. For anyone who doubts how WWE looks upon these things, just ask Serena Deeb.

Angelina Whines Copycat

We have a bit of a wrestling-style Jersey Shore feud on our hands here in the form of short-term TNA Knockout Angelina Pivernack and Raw guest host/WrestleManie competitor Snooki.

Angelina (pictured in pink) is claiming that Snooki (pictured in red) is copying her by getting into a wrestling ring. She has outright accused Snooki of trying to copy everything that she does.

It should be interesting to note that JWoww is actually the first Jersey Shore cast member to show up in a wrestling ring, so I could only imagine what her feelings are on Miss Angelina's comments. Also, I have to admit, having a match at WrestleMania is a huge opportunity for Snooki and would attract more buyers. Snooki doesn't seem totally stupid; I'm sure she knows the opportunities that come with it. Angelina's segment on her last appearance of Impact happened to be the lowest rated segment on the show.

This is pretty useless news, but then again, it's a slow news day.
