Breakin’ Down Smackdown: Results & Media

The Contest: Instead of the usual Halloween contest held at a PPV, this year the costumes were judged by a live Smackdown audience. Michelle, Layla, Natalya and Mickie James all took part in the 2009 Smackdown Halloween Costume Contest. Mickie won, and to be honest, we aren’t sure why. Okay, yes, she’s the fan favorite, but c’mon!! Her costume looked cheap. We’re sure if the contest was decided by the loudest boos, Michelle definitely would be the winner! Such is life.. Even if Michelle wasn’t named the winner, we would be happy if Layla won. To be honest, she had the best costume out of all the WWE Divas. Not to mention her dance moves; those were the icing on that cake! SHAMONE! Right then, back to Michelle! No doubt, her costume was H-O-T, HOT!!! Sure she’s publicly stated that she isn’t a fan of the color red, but her fans think she looks drop dead gorgeous in it! This costume was no different. Dressed as a sultry she-devil, her costume this year is our favorite, hands down. As for her showing of it… well… homegirl has never really shown some impressive moves in freestyle. (If you want more evidence, check out a clip of her and Torrie dancing to John Cena’s music or No Mercy of last year. It’s not bad, it just wouldn’t earn her a spot on So You Think You Can Dance or America’s Best Dance Crew.) Fortunately for Michelle it wasn’t a dance competition. Hopefully she had fun with it and she sure did entertain fans all over the globe! Plus she looked smokin’, so that’s enough. Anyway, the results were not to our liking, but Michelle got the last word. First a kick to the back of Mickie, courtesy of those Louis Vuitton boots! Next was a shot to the head with her pitchfork. She must have knocked Mickie loopy because it looked like Ms. James didn’t have a clue where she was or what she was doing. That’s what you get!

The Storyline: Not only is Beth talking about taking Michelle’s title from her, but Mickie’s a top contender as well. All through the contest, Michelle and Mickie were exchanging glares and sneers. The ending was just Michelle’s way of saying, “Bring it on.” The only question is, who will get a title shot first? Beth won the match at Bragging Rights and a match on this week’s Smackdown. Mickie defeated Layla last week and wasn’t exactly besties with Michelle this week. We’ve never really seen Michelle back down from a challenge. She may avoid confrontation for a while, but eventually they all face the same fate: the Faith Breaker. Mickie or Beth? Or perhaps… Mickie AND Beth! A triple threat feud for the title would definitely add something different to Smackdown. Or there’s always the number one contender option. Let Mickie and Beth sort it out. Michelle shouldn’t have to get involved. She’s a defending champion. With Mickie, Michelle could get the satisfaction of all the fans disappointment and dismay when she successfully defends her championship. Boohoo, the beloved Mickie James will be defeated and without a title… how sweet would that taste? Then on Beth’s side, she really is one of the most dominant divas in wrestling history. She’s beaten Michelle before, so if Michelle could get a win over her, with the addition of it being a title match, that would look mighty pretty on her résumé! Getchya some, Champ! We’ll be cheering you on all the way!

The Fashion: Like we’ve already mentioned… SO HOT!!!! The devil costume may not be something original or unique, but Michelle put her own spin on it. The sequins are a favorite around these parts. We always love to see the ‘kabooty’ shorts make an appearance. Michelle wears fishnets without looking like a poser or wannabe punk. And as we saw with her XBOX photoshoot, she looks great in red lipstick!! Top all that off with her Louis Vuitton boots unzipped to ankle length and we have a winner! The horns, tail and pitchfork made for great accessories. It’s not very often that we get to see the Women’s Champ take a step out of her normal, conservative yet chic clothing. Whether it’s ring attire or every day wear, we usually see her rocking something that leaves plenty to the imagination. It’s always a treat to see Michelle get a little naughty! Dressed as a devil, she couldn’t really behave like a nun… Oh no! Michelle got down right dirty and we love it! There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a little wild from time to time. For this year’s Halloween, Michelle definitely dished out the treats!
