As we first broke, there was some talk of Candice Michelle at the post-Hard Justice Impact tapings last month. Well PWInsider’s Mike Johnson has now reported that Candice could be brought in as the ‘winner’ of the Big Sexy Tour to search for Kevin Nash’s valet.
In July, TNA announced that Nash and the company were holding a competition to find a female valet to accompany Nash to the ring at the December 20th Final Resolution pay per view.
Johnson reports that there’s been talk of the competition being a ‘front’ to introduce the former Women’s Champion.

I think it would be a bad move by TNA to hire Candice instead of better wrestlers like ALL the SHIMMER girls and even Cherry. But if they’re going to make a big Knockouts divison with a lot of girls, I wouldn’t mind if Candice was one of them, as long as her in-ring time is reduced as much as possible.

“Johnson reports that there’s been talk of the competition being a ‘front’ to introduce the former Women’s Champion.”
Lol, that’s messed up.
September 6, 2009 at 5:38 pm
So they’re running this contest for people, and it’s really a fixed result?
Like Tiffany said, that’s messed up.
September 6, 2009 at 5:40 pm
I wonder what her name will be, “The Candy Girl” is already taken…
September 6, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Well Candice Michelle is her real name, so she would be able to use that.
September 6, 2009 at 5:44 pm
TNA pulled this same stunt with the OBD contest so I’m not really surprised. My real concern was that they’d use this contest to bring in someone like Trina ‘Gangbangs-for-battle-royales” Michaels. Candice is definitely the lesser of two evils.
September 6, 2009 at 5:45 pm
lol ‘winner’ that’s so true. I don’t see what they’re getting from Candice outside of looks. I fear for her life in the ring and she couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. Oh well.
September 6, 2009 at 5:50 pm
On the name front, I’m hoping for Simply Luschious Version 02…
September 6, 2009 at 5:55 pm
<3
I'd love to see her in TNA.
September 6, 2009 at 6:10 pm
There are some rumours about Trina Michaels comming to TNA and joining The Beautiful People.
If it happens, the name of that stable REALLY needs to change.
September 6, 2009 at 6:21 pm
I always said that bringing Candice Michelle to TNA would be a smart move, especially since she has such a large fan base, and I’m almost certain that they’d watch TNA just to see her again. I’m not too concerned if the rumor’s true, because Candice would be better used as a valet, anyhow. However, I was never too fond of the Main Event Mafia having sooo many dang valets. Like when Jenna was there, so I’d hope that Candice wouldn’t just stand there, and not say a damn thing.
September 6, 2009 at 6:40 pm
<3
Would her to be in TNA
September 6, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Yeah , Pedro , it seems Trina is coming to TNA…TNA have a lot of awesome wrestlers , like Hamada , Kong , Sarita , Alissa , Tara and even Taylor , but they’re are still contracting models like Trina and Jenna…stupid TNA…
September 6, 2009 at 8:34 pm
@ Anyone ……………Who is Trina Michaels? Can she wrestle?\
Candice in the Main Event Mafia…………Ummmmm sure maybe she can be a bitch.
September 6, 2009 at 8:49 pm
@Johnyfaction3, Trina Michaels used to be an adult movie actress. She is now a valet on the indy scene.
Meh, I don’t mind Candice if she’s only going to be used as Nash’s valet. Better than Jenna I suppose. Don’t really want to see her in matches though.
September 6, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Trina Michales is a pornstar that has been wrestling for a few months. :\ how classy.
September 6, 2009 at 8:57 pm
You may remember Trina from such classics as, “Mom’s Black Cock Anal Nightmare 2″ and “Jam It All The Way Up My Ass 7″. I kinda hope they don’t bring her in, unless what hype she does have is true and she’s just the best damn talker the industry has ever seen.
September 6, 2009 at 9:00 pm
^^Ew, so I guess we know Trina’s been around a lot
September 6, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Oh, Alex. it’s as classy as all the other divas and knockouts who’ve either stripped or done softcore porn before – even some of the official photoshoots are semi-trashy. ex-lollipop lady, ex-doctor, or indeed ex-pornstar, she’s way too green for tna.
September 6, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I don’t have any problems with porn actors/actresses at all, I don’t think softocre porn is trashy at all, but “Ex-pornstar turns into wrestler” doesn’t sound good to me!
September 6, 2009 at 9:11 pm
That’s okay she’s not an ex-pornstar. 11 new films out this year, looking to hit 300 overall by Christmas.
September 6, 2009 at 9:22 pm
…
That’s all I have to say.
September 6, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Kevin Nash said in an interview he wants his valet to be like Miss Elizabeth – he doesn’t want them to wrestle, he doesn’t want them to take bumps – he just wants a classy lady to accompany him to the ring and no get involved in the matches.
So it doesn’t really matter if the woman who ends up as his valet isn’t a great wrestler.
September 6, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Well I’d like to say at first that I am a Candice fan.
However, I hope this is not true, because I would like to see TNA further the trend of having the best women wrestlers out there.
September 6, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Dear God no. -_-
September 6, 2009 at 10:48 pm
kerry246 – That is true. However, a lot of people believe that Candice will transform from a valet to a wrestler in the Knockout’s divsion, and that’s what’s really bothering them.
September 6, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Candice would make a great addition to the Knockouts division. She plays a really good heel if she were to join the Main event mafia, is a fan favorite face, and has the skills to put on a great match. She had really good matches with Beth Phoenix, and who is to say that she won’t with the amazing TNA roster. She is 20 times better than Jenna in the ring, she puts on better matches than Christy, Rhaka Khan, and dare I say Sojo Bolt as well. I’m not saying Candice is on the level of a Tara, Awesome Kong or Sarah Stock, but she has the ability to pull off a match with either of them with a little more training added onto the skills she already has.
September 7, 2009 at 12:00 am
WWEDivaFan09 – Yes I know that, I just think that after what Kevin Nash said in that interview, that it doesn’t seem likely that Candice would gain that role – unless she’d be willing to be solely his manager and not partake in any in-ring action. But I doubt that very much.
September 7, 2009 at 12:44 am
She is better in the ring than Velvet Sky and Traci IMO which isn’t saying much but still…
Depends if Candice wishes to re-enter the wrestling business. Reports said that after her WWE release she was living quite comfortably.
September 7, 2009 at 12:46 am
I think that Traci is a bit better than Candice.
Candice only passes Hemme, Velvet and Rhaka Khan in wrestling.
September 7, 2009 at 1:46 am
People really think Candice is a better wrestler than Velvet? When Candice made her debut, Velvet already had 3 years of experience in the indies under the name Talia Madison. And she was reasonable succesful, both solo and with her tagteam partner April Hunter as T&A.
Velvet/Talia might not be the most technical/physical knockout in TNA, but she is still a mile ahead of Candice, Christy or the other models, and more importantly knows a lot more moves. Velvet however is often booked to loose matches and doesnt get much opportunities to show what she can do. Now that Angelina Love is gone this will open up the way for both herself and Madison Rayne to show what they can do in the ring.
September 7, 2009 at 2:06 am
In Candices prime i thought she was a pretty good wrestler, lets just hope if she is going to wrestle in tna that she gets herself back on track
September 7, 2009 at 2:24 am
Great, get random girls all excited about having a shot and then boom; it’s a front. On the other hand, not a huge fan of Candice so not really looking forward to it if it is true.
September 7, 2009 at 4:40 am
Experience doesn’t always make you a good wrestler. As for Candice being a valet, I actually think she would be great at it. She was good when she managed Torrie Wilson and Victoria anyways. And she has that it factor that would make her stand out from being simply arm candy.
September 7, 2009 at 11:04 am
ugh. i am insanely irritated with the TNA seemingly new theme of “run a fake competition”….
if they use the “competition” to bring in someone who has already been around…. ugh. yeah. i cant find words. i dont care if they bring candice michelle in. i think bringing in that porn star is a stupid possibility and am hoping it doesnt happen.
but seriously. dont make the competition fake again. the ODB thing made me wish i hadnt payed for the PPV…. argh. okay, now i’m cranky. *sighs*.
September 7, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I love Candice, ever since 2005 she has been one of my favourites.
“People really think Candice is a better wrestler than Velvet? When Candice made her debut, Velvet already had 3 years of experience in the indies under the name Talia Madison.”
…yeah, allllllllllll that experience and shes still bad in the ring.
September 7, 2009 at 2:57 pm
If Candice can’t stay healthy in a 4-sided ring, how the hell will she handle 6-sides? The TNA ring is less forgiving and the ropes barely bend. She would not make it through a round of tapings unscathed….unless she’s a valet only. But then it’d be a wasted signing because Candice does have experience and like any company, TNA should utilize their investment to the max.
September 8, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Oh my God…. Why TNA puts Candice as a valet and Jenna as a wrestler? LOL
