** Melanie for ages couldn't live down her criticism of Candice Michelle, which could reach petty levels at times. She mocked Candice's short haircut in 2008 - when she had donated the hair to Locks of Love - and criticised her weight in 2009 despite having been injured.
** Jack couldn't live down his infamous misnamed moves in his earlier articles.
* OnceOriginalNowCommon: It was one of the first websites to properly focus only on women's wrestling - and it was 2008, smack bang in the Diva Era, where most columnists had nothing but disdain for women's matches. Nowadays with much more media devoted to women's wrestling, it might be lost on newer visitors to the site how unique and innovative it was; many of the newer sites [[FollowTheLeader were in fact inspired]] by ''Diva Dirt''.
* TheScrappy: Jack was the most despised of the writers due to making many mistakes with regards to names of moves, unfunny writing style and shameless fanboying over Paige. He didn't win himself any favors with perceived bias - mocking {{Wrestling/Aksana}} any time she messed up a move, while insisting that Wrestling/DanaBrooke botching was just "unorthodox selling". The fact that he replaced Bobby and soon quickly covered many of the features merges this with ReplacementScrappy.

** Melanie also highlighted the other DoubleStandard that often showed up on the internet in an article about Wrestling/TaminaSnuka.
--> "Many assume that because Tamina has a heritage in the business that she’s at the same level of a Beth Phoenix or Natalya, but she isn’t. She was signed by WWE with little experience and brought up to the main roster quite quickly. Because of [[MusclesAreMeaningful her strength and size]], Tamina is able to look a little more at home in the ring compared to some of the other Divas [[BeautyIsBad who have slimmer statures]], and I think this could be one of the contributing factors as to why she doesn’t necessarily receive the same criticism as other girls with less experience."
** When critics and reviewers were tearing NXT Season 3 apart for its general badness, Cryssi remained professional and reviewed each episode seriously. She was even determined to find five positive things in each episode (though she admitted it was difficult with the infamous match between Kaitlyn and Maxine).

* HarsherInHindsight: The sheer amount of abuse and mocking of Ashley Massaro was seen as trashy yet acceptable back in 2008 - but becomes heart breaking in hindsight as of Ashley's suicide in 2019. The fact that the only notable website covering women's wrestling was encouraging the world to laugh at her mental health problems is a sad reminder of how cynical and vicious the internet of the late 2000s could be.
