Name: Kerry
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?: Dissapointed in her comments but feel there down to being naive about being part of the “big leagues”.
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?: Yes because Velvet and Lacey aren’t the best in the ring so I’d rather see good viginettes than bad matches.
Is bringing Vickie Guerrero back as just a manager a waste as opposed to being a GM?: Her main strength is her mic work so a role such as GM was ideal for her but not so much being a manager.
Have you been disappointed by someone you look up to?: I think if you put anyone on a pedestal before getting to really know them you are in for a let-down.
Name: Tom
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?: Yes, she looked great but that hair pull & clothesline was just terrible.
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?: No way, espically madison’s skills are going to waste.
Is bringing Vickie Guerrero back as just a manager a waste as opposed to being a GM?: i think she will be the GM soon. smackdown got more attention when she was the GM & then when she went to Raw, Raw got more attention b’cos she brings in the heat.
Have you been disappointed by someone you look up to?: yes.
Name: Steve
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?: Her in ring first impression was bad, her out of ring antic’s are worse.
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?: Yes but it could have been avoided by building up Madison prior to the release of Love.
Name:Chris
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?:Bad,but not horrible.Girl was workin’ the hell out of her outfit,and I like the new pose.She better back off of Angelina,though.
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?:Absolutely.They can improve their mic skills while still getting in the ring once in a while until they get another big push.
Is bringing Vickie Guerrero back as just a manager a waste as opposed to being a GM?:Vickie was the best GM that had come along in a while,so yes.
Have you been disappointed by someone you look up to?:No,but it seems I lucked out in some sort of way.I still dream of meeting Trish and Melina,though.
Question for everyone:Who has the best entrance out of all the women in each company?(I’m talking about the way they come to the ring)
Name: Mich
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?: I happened to like her debut, but the interview obviously left a bad impression on a lot of people.
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?: Definitely; keep them in limited roles until their wrestling skills improve.
Is bringing Vickie Guerrero back as just a manager a waste as opposed to being a GM?: No, it’s fresh and I’m excited to see her back.
1) Dissapointed Lacey Von Erich is only hired because of her name i am curious to see what she does in the ring because if she is a total botchfest and does not work well with the other girls than it is TNA’s fault for making themselves look bad by hiring this girl becuase she has name. TNA is losing sight of their objective and that is hirng girls that are tough and can work in the ring.
2) It is too early to say we just met Lacey last week give them time to know their roles
3) I don’t think so Vickie is one of the most hated heels in the company next to Chris Jericho so anyone she manages is going to get attention because of her. I am glad because back in the old days of wrestling managing was an essential part in creating new stars heel or not. Vickie even though she is a heel she is also a star whatever she does or will do the fans will pay attention to it.
4) Yes
Question for Erin and Melanie
Which current divas on the roster besides Mickie, Melina and Beth do you see becoming a star and becoming the new blood of the diva division.
Question for Tiffany
What does it take for the TNA Knockouts to go back to being main eventers like back in 2007 they have better talent now than ever before what do you think TNA should do to take advantage of the new talent.
Question for anyone
Which WWE divas do you think can do well wrestling in Japan (except for Natalya because she wrestled in Japan)
Question for Anyone
Would you guys like to see a Natalya and Melina feud and how do you think the chemistry will be like with these two if they do face off?
Name: Brandon
Questions for Averyone:
1.) Who do you see next in line for Michelle’s Women’s Title?
2.) Other than Katie Lea, Natalya, and Beth, which WWE divas will you love to see in SHIMMER and why?
3.) After looking back at Smackdown’s Decade episode, do you see a facial comparison between Michelle McCool and Lady GaGa?
Name: Evan
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?:
Not for me.. I loved her debut I thought it was good..
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?:
As one of the biggest TBP marks I’m ashamed to say I’m not “feeling” the new beautiful people even though I *love* Lacey.
Is bringing Vickie Guerrero back as just a manager a waste as opposed to being a GM?:
I don’t think so I’d prefer it if she was GM but I’m just glad she’s back..
Have you been disappointed by someone you look up to?:
Yes.. I’m sad Vickie cut her hair :(
Name: C-rez
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?:
I definitely think that Lacey put her foot in her mouth she has to know the difference between her and Love are astronomical, Love had talent and personality uh where the hell is Lacey’s talent the Claw? give me a break
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?:
well i think til miss Von Erich gets better in the ring yeah cause its true what they say between the 3 Rayne has more talent wrestling wise then Skye and Erich she cant carry career the whole team.
Is bringing Vickie Guerrero back as just a manager a waste as opposed to being a GM?: i could care less about vickie i love the Rico Suave storyline with Escobar
Name: Brandon
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?: I think her debut was terribly over exaggerated as being bad. If that interview wasn’t in character then she made an ass out of herself, but honestly I think people were looking for any excuse to rip into her. Either way, its only gotten her more heat with the fans which is good.
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?: Definitely. All three of them need to improve in significant areas, plus TBP kind of dominated TNA TV this past year. It will be refreshing to see them take a backseat with funny segments only to come back stronger in the ring.
Is bringing Vickie Guerrero back as just a manager a waste as opposed to being a GM?: I wouldn’t say so. Being a manager is better than being a valet. She’ll still most likely get mic time without being overexposed and I’m sure this will do wonders for homeboy’s career.
Have you been disappointed by someone you look up to?: I’ve never met anyone I would necessarily say that I’ve looked up to, but I met Kelly Kelly and she was the sweetest girl I’ve ever spoken to.
Question for Tiffany: I always find myself agreeing with you when it comes to the Style Jury. Out of all the Divas and Knockouts, who would you say has the best style?
Lacey Von Erich: bad first impression?: No worse than I expected, looks grea, now needs to deliver as wrestler.
Are the new plans for TBP the right way to go?: Probably yes in the massive absence of Angelina from the group, but still think Madison is the best worker and has not been used properly.
Question for Tiffany All the talk seems to be about TBP and LVN. But I’d like to see TNA devote more time to likes of Alissa Flash, Tara, Hamada as well as Sarita and Taylor. Do you agree that this could be way forward for KO division
