This post contains spoilers in regards to the November 27th episode of Impact.
TNA’s Knockouts division has been on a downward spiral since losing Gail Kim in August (well actually, one could argue it was heading south during Gail’s final few months there too) but this has to be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Christy Hemme will challenge for the TNA Knockouts Championship at the company’s next pay per view, Final Resolution in December.
After all the jubilation that TNA wasn’t “Barbies playing wrestling dress-up”, they sure followed WWE’s lead in pushing the inexperienced Hemme as a wrestler giving her victories over the likes of the Beautiful People and now she will face Awesome Kong for the title.
It was reported last month that TNA were to push Hemme as their top babyface Knockout, a replacement for the departed Gail Kim – seems as though that rumour is true. What does it say when TNA tries to be alternative and edgy yet pushes Christy over the likes of Roxxi, ODB and others who have yet to have a shot at the title? I think it’s about time TNA paid a little more attention to it’s booking, just because their matches are good (except when Christy’s wrestling), that doesn’t compensate for the lack of story telling and logical booking. TNA has yet to prove with it’s Knockouts division that it can walk and chew gum at the same time.
For those of you that are TNA-inclined, you can see this come about on Thursday’s episode of Impact.

Oh god! If she beats Kong I will riot. The title shot should’ve been given to Roxxi or something and I definitely agree with what Angelina said this week asking why is Christy still trying to play wrestler?
TNA has lost it. Really. I’m getting sick of all of this. Thank God for the Divas now since they’re surpassing the Knockouts in everything. Why can’t TNA push someone who isn’t most famous for being a WWE reject? Roxxi? ODB? Angelina? Velvet? Better yet, why don’t they push someone who’s actually good…and popular? For a company not trying to be the WWE they’re doing a really crappy job!
i agree that the title should go to someone else.
but
christy has come a long way.IMO
i mean the only reason i started watchin TNa was cuz Christy was there back in the day.
sure shes not the best in-ring performer but niether are some of our current divas and or knockouts.
i think we should give her a chance.
um wow…
also on an unrelated note Roucka was on Raw tonight she has a sign that says Glamazon In Training
Also Jillian sang single ladies by Beyonce LOL
Also
LOL WWE tech tem messed up Melina’s retirn instead of candice’s tron they accidently played melina’s tron for about 2-2 seconds
it made me crack up LOL
I love christy!! She was my favorite diva and knckout.
I dont think she is ready for the title but she does deserve a shot.
Maybe if TNA had more character development, Taylor would have succeeded as a top babyface.
did you guys all watch inpact????
that double team ddt on kong from christy and aj was sweet……
