Tonight on Impact:
- Knockouts Championship: ODB vs Awesome Kong
- Battle of the Playboy Bunnies: Christy Hemme vs Tara
- The Impact debut of Lacey Von Erich
TNA Wrestling is building to a Three Way Match for the Knockout’s Champioonship at Bound for Glory between ODB, Tara, and Awesome Kong. I’m glad to see they are trying to rebuild the Knockout’s Championship after last month.

Spiffy, I think Lacey Von Erich made Rosa and Maria look like great, because both of them know how to throw a clothesline!

October 2, 2009 at 4:26 am
Kaledrina i agree gail’s debut also fell flat but not as bad as lacey’s though.
kong vs tara vs odb for the knockout’s championship at bound for glory? sounds like a good
idea to rebuild the knockout’s championship after the cody deaner/odb debacle the past month.

October 2, 2009 at 4:31 am
I agree with you, but I think it was done in order to put the focus on the TNA Knockout’s Tag Team Championship and Tournament.
ciaraciara
October 2, 2009 at 4:34 am
yea most likely was done to put focus on the tag titles but still did we even need to put deaner a guy that seems to have potential in that storyline and also why put odb in that situation lol

October 2, 2009 at 4:41 am
Lacey is nothing but another blonde that can’t wrestler. Now, Angelina wasn’t the best but she was better than this crap. PLEASE LACEY GET YOUR ASS OFF MY TELEVISION ASAP.
Lacey+Rosa+Kelly=BOTCHES
TNAFan80
October 2, 2009 at 4:42 am
No, I think they could of put the Knockout’s Championship on ODB, then have her do guest commentary during the Tag Team Tournament. That would of kept her on television, but kept the focus on the Knockout’s Tag Team Championship.
ciaraciara
October 2, 2009 at 4:45 am
TNAFan80 i agree.
xxChristinaxx yes kelly botches alot but to be serious lacey+rosa+maria=make kelly look like trish stratus in the ring lol

You guys are talking about starting a petition to get a girl fired over one botched clothesline. The girl had less than 5 minutes total airtime. Why don’t we give her a chance, then after a few weeks maybe then decide how terrible she is. She hasn’t even had a match yet!
Kaledrina
October 2, 2009 at 6:12 am
i think, if anything, she can’t possibly do any worse than she already has. right?
i do hope however madison and velvet are the primary players ring-wise. lacey could probably learn a lot watching the kongs and the taylors from ringside, valeting.

I just saw Lacey’s debut and I should have known it would be over exaggerated by some of you guys. Not only did Lacey get heel heat, but where was this alleged botched clothesline? Lacey’s arm hit Taylor’s neck, and Taylor fell to the mat. I think some of you need to brush up on your wrestling terms before you throw them around so loosely. I will admit that I wasn’t looking forward to the claw being her finisher but she made it look better than I was anticipating and Sarita sold it really well. All in all, I’m happy with it. Lacey is beautiful, stylish, aggressive and I liked that pose they did at the end. Of course everyone isn’t going to like her, I just find it funny that some people had their minds made up about that before tonight, but that only shows how biased their opinions on the sujbect are.
Here is an article about Lacey joining TNA. Her comments about Angelina Love are rather interesting.
xxChristinaxx
October 2, 2009 at 8:58 am
B_Fizzle: No, she didn’t get ANY heel heat I don’t know what was you watching. The clothesline Lacey did was botched. “Lacey’s arm hit Taylor’s neck, and Taylor fell to the mat” so, that means she didn’t botch it just because Taylor fell to the mat? THAT WAS A WEAK CLOTHESLINE she didn’t even hit Taylor neck more like her arm.
She could get better who knows but what I seem for her matches on youtube SHE’S AWFUL.
ciaraciara
October 2, 2009 at 10:05 am
B_Fizzle are you sure you were watching impact because she definitly botched a clothesline and i know a clothesline when i see one.

there’s a brand new interview up with lacey over at the miami herald site..
“I feel like it was made for me, and she [Angelina] wasn’t a good fit for it in my opinion,” Adkisson said. “..I thought that everybody was going to be, `Oh no. Angelina is gone,’ but not one person said that. Nobody really missed her that much. I feel like I can fill the shoes that I’m supposed to. TNA told me this role was made for me, and I feel the same way. So when I met the other members, Velvet and Madison, they are awesome… When I got there, we all just felt like we were one group, and the band was completed”
i have no words.
xxChristinaxx
October 2, 2009 at 10:33 am
Kaledrina: OMG, is she serious? She a noboby but already thinking that she the best. People in TNA is telling this girl nothing but lies.

October 2, 2009 at 10:54 am
lols at ciaraciara and TNAFan80.. first of all she did get a reaction as she got boo’d thats what TBP usully get.. if she didnt do her job THE CROWD wouldnt have reacted what so ever so ur both wrong on that part, Now on gails debut not one fan made any reaction. so get over your selfs and we all know that the wwe crowds don’t consist of just kids.. so i think the fans know who she is.. but yes gails a great talent.. But lacey hasnt been wrestling a very long time tho shes been in the indies, Like Trish she will grow..and then you should form an opnion. If u knew her wrestling history you wouldnt be so crital towards her. P.s i thought the Claw looked cool.. and i dont think any ones seen that in many many years so its pretty awesome seeinga move thats been around for generations and made Famous by her grand father. Just watch her grow.. shes gonna get taught any how by the current talent in Tna im sure the girls will help her improve all they can as seen and heard there a nice bunch..

October 2, 2009 at 10:57 am
Christy Hemme, Traci Brooks and Lacey….not a good week for the Knockouts, even the ODB-Kong match didnt do much for me, it was just there to advance the storyline for the PPV. I hope they will hurry the Hamada-Alissa feud, we need something refreshing to watch.
BobAnthony
October 2, 2009 at 11:01 am
Lacey Von Erich, you need to crawl back to Wrestlicious, if it even gets started…YOU HONEY AIN’T TNA MATERIAL–T&A YES, but NOT TNA! And I also think you need to go to your dad Kerry’s grave AND PRAY, PRAY , PRAY girl!
Dixie Carter, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!

October 2, 2009 at 11:20 am
Am I the only one who thinks it’s funny that some people here first write that Rosa, Bella Twins and Kelly Kelly should be fired from WWE in other topics. But those same people are defending Lacey VE, saying that Lacey deserves a chance to improve?
MrWood
October 2, 2009 at 11:41 am
Yes Mikas, becuase its her first Debut on a live Professional Promotion.
Kelly and the bellas ect have had there chance to shine.. and there still not the best of wrestlers.
Wait and see is all i have to say and is all im gonna Say regarding Lacy.

@ Kaledrina: I think this interview was kayfabe. She was just playing her heel character.

October 2, 2009 at 11:51 am
P.s i just watched the debut of Lacey again on Youtube.. and the clothesline she delivered to Taylor was just fine! I dont see how some of You could slate it lols and You know full well it was an okay clothesline.
Maria couldnt clothesline a kid with full power if her life depended on it. so mentioning her = FAIL.

If sense exists,that interview should be partly in character,anyway.Perhaps as a TNA way of building net heat between characters for an eventual Love return.Lacey obviously has no resume to believably question anyone.And shooting on Velvet’s real life friend would be pretty dumb.TNA is probably doing whatever they can to retain as much fan interest as possible in TBP while Angelina’s visa stuff works it’s way through channels.TNA better make sure they can re-sign Love though.If she goes to the WWE or elsewhere after getting her papers,TBP are sunk with this angle they are taking.Without even giving Velvet and Madison a real chance to run on their own.
Mikas
October 2, 2009 at 12:08 pm
“If she goes to the WWE or elsewhere after getting her papers”
In order to get new papers she must first get hired by a company, and thats where the problem lies right now. TNA wont hire her until her problems are fixed, but she cant get a new visa if TNA wont hire her. So she is stuck in a circle, and WWE might be her only chance to get a new visa because of it. But it remains all speculation, nobody on the internet knows what REALLY is going on.
WWEDivaFan09
October 2, 2009 at 12:16 pm
xxChristinaxx – The interview to my knowledge was in character, but already this nobody is getting a big reaction from internet fans, making her a somebody, a somebody with no talent at the moment. I personally, think that comparing Maria, Kelly, and the twins to Lacey is unfair when all four were given a longer chance to become wrestlers, whereas Lacey was not. It’s no secret that the girl posses no talent at the moment, but she’s only wrestled a few times. Heck – even when she was working for FCW, she played the valet majority of the time, which is why I think it’s useless comparing someone whose been a valet for so long to an actual wrestler, well, a wrestler who can’t wrestle. Lol.
But, I hope Angelina returns. However, the blog that Sky wrote makes me believe that Angelina isn’t coming back. There was no “she’ll return,” in that speech, just Sky saying that she’s doing okay. But who knows, maybe she’ll surprise us all and stay with TNA, instead of going to the WWE if offered the chance to go there.
Wow, this is the biggest Impact feedback post we’ve ever had. Love her or hate her, Lacey VE’s got you all talking

Yeah,I must confess I have doubts about many of the stories on the net.Full of unnamed sources that change and contradict each other at times.That she’s staying in contact with TNA and seems of a positive mindset might bode well though for her chances of returning to a place where there is much good material left to be done by her and TBP act.

i think you guys are being a bit harsh on Lacey, shes a rookie so saying
“you will NEVER live up to the Von Eric name” is a very stupid and ignorant statement to make,
give her time
she can only improve
unfortunatly for her, shes a rookie that everyone wants to sighn for her name so all her slip ups will be on TV unlike most rookies
shes only had a few matches
plus this is just a run in
maybe the knockouts will help train her some more

October 2, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Wow she is so stunning. It was 1 botched clothesline, get over it. As for “the claw” spot, it looked really fake and weak.
Mikas
October 2, 2009 at 2:02 pm
“It was 1 botched clothesline”
The clothesline wasnt botched, it just looked terrible, just like the hairdrag and claw. So technically she didnt botch any move, she just needs to learn how to deliver them more realisticly. And she should stop staring into the camera when she applies the claw.
spiffy
October 2, 2009 at 2:37 pm
The Claw is such a stupid move. It’s less believable than a sleeper hold. And Lacey signaled the move like the audience would actually recognize and pop to it. The complaints about her clothesline/attack are valid, because she didn’t make lasting positive impact with her debut, which Tara did. TNA jumped the gun to rush Lacey before she was ready. It’s something Bischoff would do when Nitro was trying to beat Raw back in the day.
Lacey has the looks to stand beside Rayne and Velvet but (and I’m not jumping in at the deep end) she looked very weak against Sarita and Wilde. They had the tag champs (comprised of one of the best independent workers (Sarah Stock) and a form Knockout champ) get beat down. This made the offense of Von Erich look weak and despite the great selling by Stock, the Von Erich claw looked terrible. It was good when it was used by the old school Von Erich’s but when it’s used nowadays and by a very slim blonde chick it didn’t come off too well for me.
This is the reason I think WWE has a great development program, because they don’t put people on TV that look good but look terrible in comparison to two excellent workers.
I think its a bit harsh for everyone here to call Lacey Von Erich worse than Maria, The Bellas o K-2 seeing as she hasnt been used as a wrestler that much on TV, I think you guys should wait a little longer untill you make those assumptions. Well other than that Lacey is gorgeous.
Iori
October 2, 2009 at 3:24 pm
The Claw doesn’t bother me that much, although it’s not fancy. After all, there are several 2nd or 3rd generation wrestlers who adopt finishers from their relatives (Natalya’s Sharpshooter, Chavo’s Frog Splash, to name a few).
TNAFan80
October 2, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I posted this regarding her interview:
WOW … Lacey Von Erich is full of shit. First off, if it wasn’t for Angelina Love there would be NO Beautiful People. Also, I highly doubt WWE told her she wasn’t allowed to work a high risk style because Gail Kim does it on RAW and AJ Lee is currently doing it in Florida Championship Wrestling. I think Lacey Von Erich is delusional and I hate her even more.
ciaraciara
October 2, 2009 at 6:41 pm
MrWood first off if you havent payed attention wwe crowd consists of more kids than adults now
so of course the 5year olds are not going to know who gail is. but yes lacey did get some boos from like 5 people and thats because people were wondering what the hell to do since she messed up everything and they had no choice but to boo or be silent and plus is a HEEL and then TNA use horrible angles on each move which made it look worse. and another thing maria couldnt fight her self out of a paper bag!
TNAFan80 yes i agree about the interview but she was in character during the interview the reaction you gave her for being angry shows that what she said is working aka HEAT

I think its a bit harsh for everyone here to call Lacey Von Erich worse than Maria, The Bellas o K-2 seeing as she hasnt been used as a wrestler that much on TV, I think you guys should wait a little longer untill you make those assumptions. Well other than that Lacey is gorgeous.

The Claw doesn’t bother me that much, although it’s not fancy. After all, there are several 2nd or 3rd generation wrestlers who adopt finishers from their relatives (Natalya’s Sharpshooter, Chavo’s Frog Splash, to name a few).

I posted this regarding her interview:
WOW … Lacey Von Erich is full of shit. First off, if it wasn’t for Angelina Love there would be NO Beautiful People. Also, I highly doubt WWE told her she wasn’t allowed to work a high risk style because Gail Kim does it on RAW and AJ Lee is currently doing it in Florida Championship Wrestling. I think Lacey Von Erich is delusional and I hate her even more.

MrWood first off if you havent payed attention wwe crowd consists of more kids than adults now
so of course the 5year olds are not going to know who gail is. but yes lacey did get some boos from like 5 people and thats because people were wondering what the hell to do since she messed up everything and they had no choice but to boo or be silent and plus is a HEEL and then TNA use horrible angles on each move which made it look worse. and another thing maria couldnt fight her self out of a paper bag!
TNAFan80 yes i agree about the interview but she was in character during the interview the reaction you gave her for being angry shows that what she said is working aka HEAT
