BRITTANY'S GONNA BE A MOMMY!!!!!

Brittany Beede is many things: a former WWE Superstar/interviewer, one of the first ladies of NXT (before Full Sail), a fitness fanatic, and now you can add one more title, maybe her proudest one yet...

MOM.

That's right, our own Brittany Beede is about to become a mommy!!! Yep, she is the latest of wrestling personalities that has went into motherhood, which includes ladies such as Trish Stratus, Candice Michelle, Michelle McCool, Rosa Mendes, Madison Rayne, Brooke Adams, Angelina Love, Eve Torres-Gracie, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, and Brittany's NXT pro Brie Bella, just to name a few. She posted some photos of her upcoming bundle of joy, even revealing that it will be a boy! We feel and KNOW she will be an amazing mom. On behalf of all her fans, congrats to Brittany and we wish her and the baby all the happiness in the world and good health to both mother and child when he arrives!

Congrats Brittany!

Brittany Receives WWE Talent Scholarship

Most of us are familiar with the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", aka the Golden Rule. If you treat people well, you just might get something good in return. Apparently, Brittany's short time in WWE has definitely not been forgotten by WWE brass and they are helping her achieve her goal in life: 

Listed under her WWE name (Jamie Keyes), Brittany is one of three recipients this year receiving a $5,000 WWE Talent Scholarship. WWE even updated fans a tad on what Brittany is doing these days:

Jamie participated in NXT Season 3, under the tutelage of The Bella Twins. Before joining WWE, though, Jamie was working toward a degree in nursing. Jamie’s sports-entertainment career gave her a completely different perspective on health and wellness. That perspective compelled her to pursue a master’s in nursing after her in-ring career concluded. She also hopes to obtain a nurse practitioner’s license after receiving her degree. 

Again, this is pretty awesome of WWE to help Brittany go further in her education and hopefully become a nurse practitioner. While we DID say that we would love her to be part of the New Era in WWE and be given another shot as a in-ring competitor, it seems like that it's not going to happen anytime soon. But we can definitely see her as a trainer for the WWE Performance Center or even a host of a fitness show on the WWE Network, if WWE ever decides to go that route. But the sheer fact that WWE remembers Brittany over a half a decade after her short WWE career AND they are helping her out in her education endeavors speaks volumes to us today. We wish Brittany best of luck in her education journey and beyond!

How Jamie Keyes Can Fit in WWE's "New Era"

Several former Superstars could be returning to WWE to be part of the "New Era". We hope Jamie might be one of them down the line. 

If you haven’t noticed, WWE has entered a “New Era” within their company over the last few months, which saw a major shift take place at the beginning of the summer with a brand extension. Raw and Smackdown are now their own brands, with their own rosters and feel of their shows. Raw is more entertainment-based, with many of the established stars, while Smackdown (which is now live) is the “younger” and shorter show (two hours compared to Raw’s three) with the newer talent and a few established main-eventers. NXT has also undergone a significant change as well, as it’s now more of an “underground” brand featuring many former independent wrestling standouts and the best talents from the WWE Performance Center. As of this writing, Raw has the United States, Tag Team, and Women’s Championship, with the upcoming Universal title as their main championship, while Smackdown has the WWE World and Intercontinental Championships, with rumors of their own Tag Team and Women’s title coming soon and NXT having their own main, tag-team, and women’s titles. With these major changes, WWE has been contacting former employers to bring them back to the company to help move WWE forward in this New Era. We have no idea if they contacted Brittany yet or even at all, but here’s our take on why we feel Jamie Keyes deserves another shot in WWE.

Raw
As of now, Raw has THE top women’s title in sports-entertainment: The WWE Women’s Championship. Currently, Women’s Champion Sasha Banks and Charlotte are the ones battling it out at the top of the division, with Nia Jax potentially waiting for the the winner of that rivalry on the horizon. Alicia Fox, Summer Rae, and Paige could be vying for a spot at the top soon, and you know Dana Brooke will eventually not want to play second-fiddle for long if she ever wants to be a champion at some point. It would be interesting to see what someone of Jamie Keyes’s talents could do amongst Raw’s leading ladies, especially with her athletic prowess. A feud with Sasha Banks would be good, a feud with Nia Jax could be money, a feud with Dana Brooke would be entertaining for the flex shows alone, but a feud against Charlotte....Genetically Superior against Sexy, Strong, and Unstoppable?! COUNT US IN!!!

Smackdown Live
This would be the brand we would put her on, despite the Women’s title being on Raw. Natalya and Becky Lynch, talent-wise, lead the division, and the rest of the division (as a whole) is hungry for opportunity: Alexa Bliss, Carmella, her best friend from the old NXT Naomi, and yes, even Eva Marie. You noticed something after looking at those names. With the exception of Natalya (who is viewed more of a technical wrestler anyways), none of them are considered “powerhouses”. Raw’s got them a-plenty with Nia Jax, Charlotte, and Dana Brooke. Smackdown Live could use a powerhouse woman in their ranks, and Jamie Keyes would be a great fit for them. Our perfect scenario would be being Natalya’s protégé, similar to what Dana is for Charlotte right now. The two are legit friends, BTW.

NXT
This isn’t the same NXT that Jamie was a part of back in the day.  It has evolved into WWE’s underground/college brand that can seemingly do no wrong these days, especially with their women’s division. Ever since NXT was rebranded by Triple H, women’s wrestling was made the forefront and it’s only gotten better from here. Askua, the current NXT Women’s Champion, and Bayley, former NXT Women’s Champion, are prime examples of that. Add Peyton Royce, Billy Kay, Liv Morgan, Mandy Rose, Daria, and the soon-to-debut Ember Moon, and you have one hell of a women’s division that can carry NXT to the next level. Like Smackdown Live, NXT (to us) could use a power woman, and she fits that role perfectly.

So there you have it, a look at why Jamie Keyes would fit on any brand in WWE right now. Let’s make this clear…we’re not saying that Brittany (Jamie) will even be back in a WWE ring. Hell, there’s a greater chance that she will never be a part of WWE again. But the way things are going in the company right now, if she even has an itch to go back and make a name for herself in sports-entertainment, now is the perfect time for her to do so, and in any brand, she would be a major star. From what little she was on WWE a few years back, she had a physique that would put comic-book heroines to shame. From her time outside WWE, she has shown to be quite the athlete, running marathons and lifting weights twice her size. We’re just saying…someone with that kind of beauty and athleticism should be given a platform to perform, a canvas to paint. In our honest opinion, WWE as it is right now is the perfect canvas for her to paint her masterpiece. If returning to WWE on a brand isn’t in the cards, there is another outlet within WWE that would be just as rewarding and maybe even better suited for her. But THAT…that is another article.

What do you think? Sound off on the comments below or send us your thoughts on our Facebook page, which has almost 1,000 fans! Not bad for someone who hasn’t been on WWE programming in over five years!

Marvel Studios Announces Its Captain Marvel

After what seemed like forever, Marvel Studios has finally announced who will be playing Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That honor goes to Brie Larson, an Academy Award winner. It was made official at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con International.

We knew going into our campaign that it was going to be a long shot for Brittany to get this role. She hasn't been in the public eye since 2010, and to be quite honest, the world of Hollywood isn't ready to embrace women with actual comic-book like physiques to have starring roles in Hollywood. Yet it seems that anyone else is fine to be in leading roles, but that's for a different time to discuss...or a different article altogether. But as we stated on our Twitter, you just DON'T say no to an Oscar-winner when it comes to a role like this, and personally we're glad they didn't do that.

With that being said, we do think Brittany deserves to be in SOMETHING superhero-wise. She has the body and talent to pull if off. She would make a great Power Girl on the CW's Supergirl, for example. DC or Marvel would (to us) benefit with having someone like Brittany in their ranks, especially if a return to WWE is nowhere near the cards for her.

You tell us, what female superhero/villain would YOU like to see Brittany play as? Send us a Tweet, a Facebook message, or leave your answer in the comments section below. 

The Campaign Begins

As some of you might know, Marvel announced that Captain Marvel will be getting her own movie, set to be released July 6, 2018. The names have been thrown out like hot cakes, and honestly, we have no issue with any of them. But this IS a Brittany Beede fansite, and we DO support Brittany, so obviously we are going to go with Brittany as our choice.

She's ready...all you gotta do is make your move.

Earlier, this year, we have gone over as much as we can as to why we feel she should be Captain Marvel (http://brittanybeedefanzone.blogspot.com/2014/07/why-brittany-would-be-great-captain.html). We're not saying this because of how big of fans we are of the former WWE Diva, we're saying this due to what we have seen and heard right in front of our faces. But you know what...we want to hear from you all, the Brittany Beede fans. Why do YOU think Brittany deserves to be considered for the role of Captain Marvel? Leave a comment below or hit us up on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/brittanybeedefans) or Twitter using the hashtags #BrittanyBeedeForCaptainMarvel or #TheCampaignBegins. Assuming the role isn't booked by next week, we will feature comments in a new post on Veterans Day (November 11)!

Why Brittany Would Be a Great "Captain Marvel"

Yeah, yeah, we know that we posted an article a while back about Brittany being a Ms. Marvel. Well, as most comic book fans know, Ms. Marvel has underwent a massive makeover and Carol Danvers (the original Ms. Marvel) is now Captain Marvel. Same powers, new persona. Personally, we think a Marvel female superhero movie is long overdue, and which better woman (other than probably the Black Widow) that should have that honor to get a solo movie than Captain Marvel herself! We're aware of the well-deserving lovefest that a lot of comic book fanatics have with Katee Sackhoff and why she would make a great Captain Marvel (and we can see why. We're not stupid.) BUT...it doesn't hurt to look outside the box and look at what else (or in this case, WHO else) is out there that's just a good a choice as (if not better than) the popular and easy choice. Brittany fits that description in several ways.

Seriously...the similarities of their personalities on this photo alone are WAY too creepy of a coincidence, people.

Captain Marvel's a pretty fit individual and Brittany fits the bill perfectly. Look at her photos from her time in WWE (as Jamie Keyes, or just Jamie from NXT Season 3) if you need visual proof. You don't need CGI technology to recapture Captain Marvel's look when you have someone who maintains her look year-round. Captain Marvel has that certain kind of presence about her than you just can't teach. Brittany happens to have the exact same thing. AGAIN...look at her short time in WWE. She wasn't just someone you can look at and just dismissed her as just "another blonde bombshell". Throughout a lot of wrestling boards, many people were hoping she would be the next heir to Beth Phoenix as a powerhouse in the Divas division. Sadly, that never came to be, and I think it was a matter of "wrong timing of arrival", but that's a whole different subject that will be discussed on a later day. From what fans of the animated TV show The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes might tell you, Ms. Marvel (she wasn't Captain Marvel at the time) had a feminine yet commanding voice. Brittany...yeah, feminine yet commanding voice. Do I EVEN need to tell you where to look for proof at this point?

Another big reason why Brittany would be a great "Captain Marvel" is honestly...she would be a fresh face that would introduce the Captain Marvel character to a lot of people. Tobey McQuire and Andrew Garfield's career saw a major boost with Spider-Man and the Amazing Spider-Man, respectively. This also happened with Chris Evans with Captain America and Chris Hemsworth with Thor. With the exception of a few (like Robert Downey, Jr, whose career was reborn when he became Tony Stark/Ironman), well-known actors have done more to damage a character rather than help it, according to fans. Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Halle Berry as Catwoman, Ben Affleck as Daredevil (I'm REALLY dreading how he's going to do as Batman. I hope to be proven wrong on that). History has shown that a relatively unknown tends to do better in superhero movies than well-known actors.

Bottom line, she's got the overall presence that one expects of a female superhero. The beauty, the attitude, the physique. What more could you ask for? Hollywood is all about taking the easy road to achieve success rather than going against the grain and thinking outside the box. Maybe it's time for Hollywood to go outside their comfort zone and see that there are a good deal of folks that have what it takes to give Hollywood a much-needed shake-up and give them the millions they want. Marvel, Josh Whedon, Stan Lee...whoever is in charge of Marvel movies, you want a Captain Marvel? You want a bonafied female player who can spark the Marvel universe? We know of someone. Her name is Brittany Beede. She's located in Sarasota, Florida. She has the credentials you desire in a female superhero. It's time you look your next future star.

Your move, Marvel...

We've spoken our piece. Now we turn it over to you all: Do YOU think Brittany Beede would make a pretty good "Captain Marvel" in a movie someday? Is there anything I'm missing? Sound off in the comments below. 

TNA Posts Brittany's First (and Only) TNA PPV Apperance

Before Jamie Keyes in WWE, there was just Brittany. She accompanied Kevin Nash to the ring (along with World Elite) for the 2nd annual Feast or Fired match in TNA/Impact Wrestling History back in 2009. Feast or Fired is like WWE's Money in the Bank, but in many ways a bit bigger and riskier. There are four cases to win: one of them contains a World title shot, another contains a X-Division title shot, another has a Tag Team title shot, and one of the cases...well...you will be wished best of luck in your future endeavors. With TNA bringing back this company stable, here's a look at the match, and more importantly (to us), the beginning of great things for one Brittany Beede.


 
(Footage from TNA/Impact Wrestling)

Apparently this is how Brittany got to be involved in the wrestling world in the first place (although she's been a fan for years, going back to her father being a fan of wrestling back in the day. His favorite at the time?! Hulk Hogan). Kevin was searching for a valet for one night (Final Resolution 2009) so he launched a worldwide search and was looking for "Miss Right Now" as opposed to "Miss Right". Looks to us like Kevin made the right choice. Think about it, without this Big Sexy Valet Tour opportunity, we might have never gotten to know about Brittany.

Thanks Big Sexy! :) (FYI, he would win the Tag Team title shot, which was used with Scott Hall to win the TNA Tag Team titles not too shortly after.)
