Jamie Keyes in WWE Encyclopedia

Apparently Jamie Keyes isn't as forgotten by some of the higher-ups in WWE as much as some people would think, as she is part of the updated WWE Encyclopedia, which had a to-the-point approach to her career in WWE, and even had a  never-before-seen photo to go along with the write-up.

Seriously...how badass is this photo of our girl?! :)

With Beth Phoenix gone, Jamie would definitely fit the bill of the "power Diva" perfectly right now. But hey, like the famous saying goes "Anything can happen in the WWE". We personally like that Jamie was featured in their encyclopedia to begin with (which, BTW, I highly recommend any WWE fan to purchase. Great gift for the holiday season). They could have ignored her, but didn't. Brittany (we're going by her real name now) is young and talented (her strength is INHUMAN for someone even her size, almost like a female John Cena), so she can pretty much do with her life whatever she wishes. Who knows...maybe, just maybe, the WWE Universe hasn't seen the end of Jamie Keyes just yet. Time will tell...

Team Keyes (1st Annual Survivor Series Dream Team)

This Sunday is the Survivor Series PPV. It's the oldest PPV in WWE history minus Wrestlemania, and one of the most popular ones as well. Called "WWE's Fall Classic", WWE Superstars (and sometimes Divas) are put into 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series teams and face each other in a Survivor-Series elimination match. You eliminate people by pinfall, submission, and disqualification until everyone on the opposing side is  gone. What's awesome about the match it it could down to a one-on-one match, tag team, three-on-three, two-on-three, three-on-one, four-on-one, or the ever-scary five-on-one (to my knowledge, NO team has ever eliminated a whole team while being down to their last man).

In the spirit of the PPV, we at Brittany Beede FanZone have put together a team for Brittany. Using her WWE name, here's the reveal of Team Keyes!!

All photos used belong to the original owners

Let's start with Beth and Natalya. Both ladies bring experience, power, and explosiveness to the team. Both ladies know how to attack you in the ring with a variety of moves. Beth is more power-type in the ring, while Natalya is more technical-type. And both ladies happen to respect our girl's talents as well, as they both have expressed on Twitter in the past. Besides...who WOULDN'T want the Divas of Doom on their team, right? Better to have them as partners rather than enemies.

Naomi would provide the youthfulness and pure athleticism. Not taking anyway from Brittany when we say this, but we were able to see how incredibly athletic Naomi was during NXT Season 3 more so than our girl. Yeah, yeah, I know most current WWE fans are just familiar with her right now as a Funkadacyl with Brodus Clay, but whenever WWE decided to turn her loose to compete, WATCH OUT! And...oh yeah, Naomi and Brittany are basically sistas from other mistas. That was made abundantly clear during NXT Season 3.

IMHO, every good team needs a Legend. Look no further than one of the best, if not THE BEST, of all time in Trish Stratus. While she has never been a part of a Survivor Series elimination team, she knows what it's like to shine at Survivor Series. Over a decade ago, Trish would capture her first Women's Championship in a Six-Pack Challenge, and the rest, as they say, was history. Brittany mentioned a few times that she looks up to Trish, so how cool would it be to see Brittany team up with her idol?!

And of course...the captain herself, Miss Jamie Keyes. Power, athleticism, youth, sassiness, The woman brings a lot to the table, and with the right mindset could lead this very unique team to victory. If this were to play out in WWE, Jamie would definitely have to earn the respect of her team, especially the veterans in Beth, Nattie, and Trish, but I think she would be more than willing to do what she had to do to earn the trust of her team.

Honestly, with a team like this, they could make a dominant run similar to Team DX from 2006 who eliminated Team Rated RKO and had their entire team in tact. That's our team, do you have a better team for Brittany? Use hashtag #TeamKeyes on Twitter or post your thoughts below.

Why Brittany Beede Would Make A Great Felicia Hardy/Black Cat

The Amazing Spider-Man comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray on November 9th. There are plans for a second "Amazing Spider-Man" movie in the very near future. Rumors have been running rapid on who should be in the new movie. This isn't a rumor, but just a thought. We personally would like to see Brittany Beede in the new Spider-Man movie (or any movie for that matter, but let's stick to the wall-crawler right now). And we know the perfect role for her...Felicia Hardy aka The Black Cat.

One of the most intriguing Marvel characters of all time

In the comics and on Spider-Man The Animated Series, The Black Cat has a significant role. Playing a love interest for Spider-Man, drawing the line between hero and crook, etc. Playing the roll of Felicia Hardy/Black Cat would not be that big of a stretch for Brittany. Here's why.

1. The Black Cat knows how to fight. Brittany does to, as it was apparent during her WWE days.
2. The Black Cat is a smooth talker. Same goes for Brittany. Again, go to her WWE days.
3. The Black Cat can be pretty seductive at times. Ask Matt Striker and Joey Styles if Brittany fits the bill.
4. The Black is unbelievably fit. Do we even need to go into detail about Brittany on this one? REALLY?!

I mean we can go into much more detail if we wanted to, but we'd rather not bore you all to death. But if you happen to sit down and compare the feline fatal and the sexy, strong, and unstoppable one, the two ladies practically mirror one another. Should "The Amazing Spider-Man" franchise ever have a Black Cat, or if Marvel were to ever have a standalone movie for the Black Cat, we personally feel that our girl Brittany would be a great fit for role. Here's hoping they cross paths in the future, with good luck to follow.

Hey Marvel! Here's your Felicia Hardy/Black Cat right here!!!

Our Alternative Wrestlemania 28 Idea for Tonight

Tonight is Wrestlemania 28, and on paper, this might be one of the biggest Wrestlemanias in quite some time. This will be headlined by John Cena vs The Rock in The Rock's hometown of Miami. The Divas will be represented as well as Diva Champion Beth Phoenix and Eve will take on Kelly Kelly and Extra's Maria Menounos. Maria is currently dealing with an injury (two broken ribs, to be exact), so it's pretty obvious unless a change is made in the last minute, or a replacement is made, Maria is going to be VERY limited as to what she can do in the ring. Our suggestion for this: Keep Maria, but have her be a manager for Kelly Kelly and her new partner. Among the current WWE Divas roster, we would choose Natalya. But since this is a JAMIE KEYES blog, we obviously will choose Jamie. Here's why:

First and foremost, tonight's Wrestlemania is in the home state of our girl, so this would be an amazing opportunity to perform in front of a home crowd, especially with her family and friends watching her perform at the big stage. This would give Jamie a chance to work with at least TWO of her closest friends in WWE (Kelly Kelly as a partner and Beth Phoenix as an opponent. I can't say anything about Eve as I don't know if they are friends or not.). Quite frankly, if this was done right, a few nice Wrestlemania moments could be mad with all four of them. And if WWE wants to desperately have Maria do something, she can also provide a distraction to throw off Beth and Eve, allowing Kelly Kelly and Jamie to pick up the win.

Here's how it would go. Beth and Eve come out. Then Kelly Kelly and Maria would come out, but Maria would be in a dress, aka she ain't wrestling. Beth and Eve are confused. After a bit. the words "sexy, strong, and unstoppable" flash on the WM set (which looks awesome as hell, BTW), and Jamie comes out. The heels are shocked, the fans will be wondering what the heck is going on, but everyone will be glued to this based off of sheer curiosity alone. What happens in the ring...I'll leave that up to the competitors themselves.

"Keyes" to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match #7

Our seventh and final Keyes to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match is a triple threat treat that would please even the biggest Diva critics: Jamie vs Beth vs Natalya!!

Yesterday, we talked about how Jamie vs Beth would be a one-on-one match for the ages at Wrestlemania, but how about the addition of a third party to spice things up? But not just ANY third-party, but one in the form of the ONLY woman to ever graduate from the Hart Dungeon and one of the few third-generation Divas on the planet, Natalya! While Beth might be the strongest, based on pure technical skill alone, Natalya has no equal. We all know know Beth vs Natalya would be badass, but seriously a triple threat match between Beth, Nattie, AND Jamie?!?! Look me in the eye and tell me that would not sell. I dare you too. Heck, I triple dog dare ya!

This match wouldn't nor should it be out of spite for each other. I think (based off their Twitter conversation) that Jamie is sorta, kinda looked upon as an unofficial "Pin Up Strong" woman anyways. If not, at the very least both Beth and Nattie have a lot of respect for Jamie and they follow each other on Twitter, so Lord only knows how many conversations they have with each other. Long story short, this would a nice friendly competition (in a way) or a game of one-upsmanship on the big stage of this business. When you think about it, WWE REALLY missed a heck of an opportunity by not having these three interact with each other while Jamie was part of WWE (Yeah, I'm preaching to the choir. I get it). But still, it's pretty cool to think what would happen if these three were to meet in a triple threat match (title or no title, it would that good), let alone at the Showcase of the Immortals.

That's it...that's the last match of our Keyes to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match series. Hope you liked them all as much as I enjoyed typing them up for you all, and trust me, I had a BLAST doing this for all of you. :) Tomorrow, on the day of Wrestlemania 28, I will make a special post with my scenario on how I would involve Jamie is the match that is actually taking place at this year's event (whether we like the match or not...and most of you apparently don't). Just wait until you see what I have in mind for our sexy, strong, and unstoppable warrior.

"Keyes" to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match #6

Of all the one-on-one encounters we would like to see with Jamie (wrestling-wise...pervs!), this one tops the list. Our fifth Keyes to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match puts Jamie against the Glamazon and reigning Divas Champion (as of this writing), Beth Phoenix!

Ever since Beth won the title back in October 2011 at Hell in a Cell, Beth has taken on all challengers and has come out on top. She claims there is no one worthy of facing her, and she will be Divas Champion forever. Well...last I checked, she hasn't faced EVERY Diva, and I highly doubt she would be so confident if Jamie was still in WWE. No offense, Beth. :)

I could go on all day about this one confrontation alone, but seriously, put these two in the ring for a stare-down.  This could be viewed as a Cena/Rock in terms of passing down the torch, or a Punk/Jericho in terms of who's the "best in the world". When it comes to destroying gyms while looking fantastic doing it, lifting heavy objects and breaking heavy hearts at the same time, and just being beauty AND the beast, no one does it better than these two. Jamie vs Beth is a dream match in itself, but Jamie vs Beth at Wrestlemania...that's nothing short of a gold mine for Vince and Company. These two could rank in the dough if given the chance.

How could it get any better than Jamie vs Beth, you ask? How about adding in one more person. WHO? Find out tomorrow in our final dream match for Miss Keyes.

"Keyes" to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match #5

For today's Wrestlemania 28 dream match, we thought we would have Jamie meet up with some old friends in a good old-fashioned NXT Diva Battle Royal! Yep, Jamie vs AJ vs Aksana vs Naomi vs Maxine vs Kaityln. Last Diva in the ring WINS!!

In the minds of more than a few people, NXT Season 3 was more entertaining than it had every right to be. We got to know Divas beyond just a name, which was cool. There were things that could have been different that could have made ALL the Divas be on a equal playing field. Some obviously got more attention from WWE than others. Jamie was among those victims. Trust me, the list of things they did WRONG outweigh the RIGHT by a country mile (and it will be discussed in a future posting on this blog). One thing that didn't do but really should have done this before the first elmination was to put all six ladies in a battle royal. I mean, they did it for the Season 1 and 2 cast, why not do it for Season 3? Oh wait...that would be putting effort into the Divas...and we know how WWE is on that, don't we? -___-

Anyways, this match would be great in Miami for the simple fact all six ladies are known for their time in FCW, and this would give those that watched NXT Season 3 the match that should have happened but didn't. I would make the winner of this match the number one contender for the Divas Championship, but that's just me. :)

Speaking of the Divas Championship...you do NOT want to miss tomorrow's Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match. Trust me.

"Keyes" to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match #4

Today's Keyes to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match puts Jamie against a legend...one of the top Divas in WWE history, the one and only Trish Stratus!!

Wrestlemania is known as the Showcase of the Immortals. The biggest names in WWE square off on the biggest stage of the year. For some, this will cement their legacies. For others, this can BEGIN their legacies. What better way for Jamie to be known throughout the Diva division than to take on the biggest Diva name on the planet at the biggest stage of them all?

Many women see Trish as their inspiration to being in this business, and Jamie is along that long list of women. If she were to meet Trish on the big stage, it would cement Jamie as a Diva to be noticed. Should she BEAT Trish fair and square in the middle of the ring at Wrestlemania, that's basically says that the torch is now passed on. In the eyes of many, Jamie vs Trish could be a passing-of-the-torch moment for the Divas.

Match 5 will have Jamie seeing a few familiar faces from her past. STAY TUNED!

"Keyes" to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match #3

David...meet Goliath. Irresitable Force...meet Immovable Object. Today's Wrestlemania match features Jamie taking on arguably the most imposing WWE Diva to ever grace the company...the one and only Kharma!!!

Let's be real, Jamie is no ordinary blonde. But than again, Kharma is no ordinary woman. Arriving in 2011 at the Extreme Rules PPV, Kharma took out Michelle McCool and went on to completely decimate the Divas division in the likes of Layla, Alicia Fox, Maryse, Eve, and the Bellas. This would have went on longer, but then Kharma announced that she was with child, putting one of the most interesting Diva storylines WWE's had in quite some time on hold. Kharma returned at the Royal Rumble and made a lasting impression during the match before being eliminated by Dolph Ziggler.We have yet to see her since the Rumble, but when she returns...you better believe she is going to make a beeline for the Divas Championship. Before she gets to that, though...she will need to take on and take out a sexy, strong, and unstoppable being that stands in her way. That's where Jamie comes in.

Jamie vs Kharma would be a great Wrestlemania match for the simple fact that both ladies can produce moments during the match that would be on the minds of the WWE Universe forever. Can you imagine Jamie picking up Kharma for a scoop slam?!?! That would be the Diva equivalent of when Hulk Hogan slammed Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3. Jamie's career would be made for life if that moment ever occurred. Two extraordinary women with two different extremes of power and grace...sounds like a Wrestlemania classic to us!

Hope you have enjoyed the matches this far. Match 4 will put Jamie against a legend...Any guesses on who the legend might be?!

"Keyes" to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match #2

Our second Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match pitches Jamie against the resident "Hoeski" of the WWE, Eve Torres!

Since the Elimination Chamber, Eve has shown a side of her that no one thought ever existed, a side that is manipulative, ignorant, and (quite frankly) downright bitchy. This woman thinks the world owes her a favor and demands that the world heed to HER will and hers alone. She has publicly said that she will use anyone to get to the top of WWE, and shows no regrets of her recent actions towards Zack Ryder, John Cena, and Kelly Kelly. SOMEONE needs to put the Hoeski in her place. Personally...we think Jamie would be the woman for the job. Plus, during NXT Season 2, Zack Ryder DID say that Jamie was hot. It was random when he said it...but he's right!

This could be a very contested match-up between the two gym rats (and I use that term in the nicest of ways). While Eve's new attitude might leave much to be desired by the WWE Divas and the WWE Universe, there's no denying that Eve is one of the most physically fit Divas on the roster and can hang with Jamie in the gym better than most people would give her credit for. Eve is also one of the best in-ring competitors who did NOT come from a wrestling background prior to entering WWE. A battle between these two could be interesting, and these days, the WWE Universe doesn't care who puts Eve in her place. They just want to happen.

Match 3 tomorrow!

"Keyes" to Wrestlemania 28 Dream Match #1

Our first dream match we have for Jamie (for these posts, we will be using her WWE name) is putting her against the current Golden Girl of WWE, Kelly Kelly.

This would have started off during the models vs wrestlers battle over the summer between the Divas of Doom and Kelly Kelly, Eve, and Alicia Fox. The Divas of Doom decided that three wouldn't be a crowd after all and got themselves a third member. During the Royal Rumble, Jamie would make her return to WWE and attack the model divas and align herself with Beth and Natalya. Beth would be getting ready for her Wrestlemania match (against who, I'll leave that up to you), but Jamie would reveal the reason she decided to align herself with D.O.D. She's sick and tired of the model Divas like Kelly Kelly taking the spotlight that belongs to strong women like herself.

When you think about it, this is a story that writes itself. Jamie and Kelly Kelly are somewhat opposites of each other. While both are blonde and fit, they represent two different types of women. Jamie represents the strong woman in the literal sense, and can probably deadlift and/or bench press nearly the entire WWE roster. Basically, she would be more of a powerhouse, but that goes without saying. Kelly Kelly, on the other hand, is more of a gymnast woman who is more of a flips-and-kicks kind of girl. Two different women, two different walks of life...a very interesting clash that's (to me) Wrestlemania-worthy. Besides, it would give Kelly Kelly that Wrestemania moment she deserves. Whether you like her or not, she has given her all for the company for a good long time, longer than most. Plus, these two are good friends in real life, and usually when you are good friends, you can produce great things together.

So, there you have it. Our first dream match for Miss Keyes: Jamie vs Kelly Kelly. Come back tomorrow for our next dream match involving WWE's Terminator of the Divas Division.

"Keyes" to Wrestlemania Blog Special Beginning Tomorrow

In honor of Wrestlemania 28 in Miami, Florida this year (Brittany's home state), we thought we would restart the blog up big time with a week filled with some dream matches that we think would have been cool for Brittany (Jamie) to be a part of at this year's massive event. On a slightly related note, I honestly hope that this year's Divas match (Beth/Eve vs Maria/Kelly) will be okay, but I have my doubts, but that's besides the point. The point of these special posts is to have some fun with our girl and the biggest wrestling event on the planet.

Unless she has some big plans she made ahead of time, I don't see her missing Wrestlemania next weekend, but you never know. If you happen to see Brittany, say hi to her!

If you happen to have your own dream Jamie Keyes Wrestlemania match, use the hashtag #JamieWM28DreamMatch (if you are on Twitter), or leave a comment below this posting or on our Facebook fan page (https://www.facebook.com/brittanybrigade)
