Thoughts after the cut:
Erin’s Thoughts
I guess they’re keeping the Saritaylor/TBP feud from last month going, but adding in ODB to balance out the addition of Lacey. It seems like a waste of the Knockouts Championship, but what else is she going to do? Tara and Kong are busy with each other, and there doesn’t seem to be a real contender for the title. That’s quite a team, though–Knockouts Champ paired with the Tag Team Champs.

i can’t believe madison is back to being a jobber-_- and a 2 minute match makes the whole segment a fail,so sad:(
November 2, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Lacey’s ugly stick? Gag.
November 3, 2009 at 12:05 am
Lacey’s ugly stick? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Holy craptastic fail Batman!
November 3, 2009 at 12:08 am
Do you think the knockouts are going to suffer now that hulk hogan had joined? Isnt this Thursday his propper debut?
Do you think the knockout matchs are going to be cut down in length for a while in favour for segments with the man who is suposed “to change” TNA?
November 3, 2009 at 12:13 am
karl – why not? Everyone else will to an extent. They will suffer but, I don’t think it’ll be as bad for the simple fact that Hogan will be to busy trying to put himself over at every turn.

Who is booking this in all honesty? Is it so hard to get a new tag team? Lord knows they sign every woman out there basically. Not to dog TNA as they have a load of potential, but the booking is the worst pile I have ever seen. What’s so difficult about maybe doing a battle royal where Alissa Flash wins to earn a future title shot? To actually give the champ something to work with? Even Traci Brooks…SOMEONE! TBP and Wilde/Sarita don’t need her slumped into that feud, like she invaded the Kong/Tara one that went on for like 3-4 months out of nowhere. ODB just seems to butt in to every feud and insert herself in them >.< Sometimes I just wonder if they hire a new person off the street every week to book their shows. Roughly 20 women and you have to bombard the champ into feuds already established to get her used…Someone help us
November 3, 2009 at 12:41 am
The image of The Beautiful People actually hitting someone with an “Ugly Stick” made me lol.
November 3, 2009 at 12:59 am
Uhm. No, this is wrong.
TNAwrestling.com announced Daffney vs Tara for this Thursday >_<
November 3, 2009 at 1:03 am
She-Wolf — Matches don’t always run as advertised. Looks like Hamada replaced Daffney because she’s still hurt.
November 3, 2009 at 1:04 am
I swear…one new person off the street each week. Run in after Run in is all Tara/Kong is >_>
November 3, 2009 at 1:05 am
What was wrong with Velvet Sky jobbing? Aren’t they suppose to be building Madison up, since she’s technical the strongest wrestler in the Beautiful People?
November 3, 2009 at 1:07 am
I can’t believe the Beautiful People are STILL getting pushed. WHY? Without Angelina there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to push this faction anymore. They’ve been completely embarrassed by Saritaylor on 2 PPVs in a row and yet this feud is still not over only because they’re the only other female tag team in the damn company. How hard is it to make a new tag team? How hard is it to come up with a new challenger for ODB like Alissa or Hamada or something? How hard is it to give a heel push to someone besides Awesome Kong or the Beautiful People for God’s sake? These writers are idiots.
November 3, 2009 at 1:08 am
ok, so I LOVE Tara!! So so so much! But come on TNA! Let someone else wrestle PLEASE! I wanna see Hamada tear Sojo Bolt Apart, or Alissa drill through Christy Hemme. You have the women TNA, it’s time to start using them right!
And yes! Can we please form another Knockouts Tag Team? Im sick of the Beautiful People. Really sick of them.
November 3, 2009 at 1:11 am
Hmz, Hamada’s first solo loss for TNA? Although she also lost to Kong on the houseshows this week. I get the feeling they dont really know what to do with Hamada.
And i am kinda getting tired of the random matchups, why are Tara and Hamada fighting when both are face? There is no title on the line, they dont hate eachother, so that matchup doesnt make sense.
November 3, 2009 at 1:13 am
“I get the feeling they dont really know what to do with Hamada.”
You could say that for every single knockout really lol
November 3, 2009 at 1:23 am
It’s actually very easy to “fix” TNA’s knockout division:
- Sarita/Taylor vs Daffney/Alissa
- Tara vs Kong
- ODB vs Hamada (heel turn)
- TBP vs Christy/Traci (face turn for Traci so they can form “team playmate”), this feud will mostly be fought in backstage skits rather than in the ring.
That only leaves Sojo, but she is only used on houseshows as fill-in, so she doesnt count.
November 3, 2009 at 1:35 am
UMMMMMMM……..TNA WHAT IS GOIN ON?
you are hardly having fueds for the knockouts now all these random run ins and stuff is really
getting ridiculous you have so many knockouts signed to your roster that can
pull of good feuds but you rather job them or put them in cartoon like feuds.
November 3, 2009 at 1:52 am
I don’t see whats so random about Tara vs. Hamada,there 2 faces who are wrestling,whats so wrong about that,not all matches in wrestling have to be Heel vs. Face.Unlike WWE,not all the faces in TNA are BFF’s
TNA is wasting there talent and i’m getting sick and tired of this whole kong interfering thing,JUST HAVE MATCH ALREADY
I don’t think TNA knows what to do with ODB being champion,she could have easily dropped to Tara at BFG but nope,and now you have kong vs tara and ODB has no challenger,they should push alissa flash but I dont think TNA is smart enough to even consider that
November 3, 2009 at 1:59 am
I’m also getting sick and tried of the beautiful people push,they’ve totally squashed madison rayne(the best worker of the group) to the point where she has no credabilty,Velvet is just terrible in the ring,and lacey doesn’t even know how to wrestler,they’ve been squashed 2 PPV in a row and yet,they keep getting more chances,HOW HARD IS IT TO CREATE A NEW TAG TEAM
they could pair up alissa and daffney like having alissa attack sarita backstage saying that sarita is the reason she hasn’t been winning any matches because ever since her first lose to sarita,she hasn’t been able to put it behind her
November 3, 2009 at 2:00 am
WTF IS THAT?!Ok,now I am officially confuzzeled.What the hell is Hamada anyway?Guess she’s a tweener.
November 3, 2009 at 2:30 am
If they’re going to keep pushing The Beautiful People to the moon, I don’t understand why they seem to be wanting to make Lacey, who doesn’t have a single decent wrestling move in her, as some kind of force while making Madison, the one who should clearly be carrying their matches at this point, into a lowlife jobber who can only win through certain miracles from Jesus himself. Their booking is shockingly bad.
November 3, 2009 at 2:32 am
The 8 Knockout match, we’re not sure if it was taped for next week but it likely won’t be airing this week.
November 3, 2009 at 2:33 am
“while making Madison, the one who should clearly be carrying their matches at this point, into a lowlife jobber who can only win through certain miracles from Jesus himself”
funniest comment I ever read,It’s so true *HIGH FIVE*
November 3, 2009 at 2:34 am
it is Madison rayne first loss in months because she and madsion have been winning matches.
Hamada isn’t a tweener or a heel
Awesome Kong is a heel again and Hamada is a face.
i think the reason for these matches is to build up the feud between tbp and sarita and taylor wilde.
ODB can’t stand tbp just like Sarita and Taylor Wilde.
I believe Tara will face the no.1 contenders for odb’s title
They are building up the Awesome Kong and Tara feud
Tara vs Alissa Flash
Tara vs Hamada
Tara vs Daffney
Alissa Flash, Hamada or Daffney will face Odb at Turning Point for the knockouts title
and hopefully it will be Alissa vs odb at turning point and hopefully Sara Del Rey will cost odb the title and Alissa is the new champion and then she should feud with hamada
November 3, 2009 at 2:35 am
why kong teaming up with the beautiful people,they were the ones who cut her hair off and made her lose her belt
November 3, 2009 at 3:46 am
it was angelina who cut kong’s hair and cost her title
November 3, 2009 at 8:35 am
Tara vs Hamada sounds good but lots of people saying that tara is winning all single matches Yes guys she has to because she the top Knockout of TNA.

Matches between 2 faces have always been rare, and there was always a “reason” why they would face eachother. This one appears to be completely random.
November 3, 2009 at 9:56 am
I’m liking TBP push, and think they will eventually win the tag titles. I don’t think they would continue the fued unless that was the intention. TNA needs hot girls, and thats the beautiful people. They have lots of girls that can get in done in the ring, and they need to have a balance of some hot girls as well to apeal to the male viewers which are the main demographic that watches iMPACT .
I personally looooove me some Beautiful People….LVE and Velvet Sky are so hot.
The “Ugly Stick” is kinda of creative in my opinion, it could be cool or could be an epic fail. With Lacey doing it it could go either way. It is a similar idea to the “brown bag treatment” if you think about it.
I think the “ugly stick” could be the leading factor to The Beautiful People winning the KO tag titles.
November 3, 2009 at 2:05 pm
TNA must have booked that match before realising how hurt Daffney is.
The ugly stick thing sounds quite funny to me, I think it suits the silly, ditzy characters TBP are portrayed as.
November 3, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Lacey’s Ugly stick ?.
You have got to be kidding me ?.
And cant they fing Sarita & Taylor some suitible oppenents for the title….allim seeing is the same crap every week….Sarita & Taylor get attacked by TBP…its like a repeating cycle. The knockouts Division is slowly sinking more and more…
Also with the knockouts Championship where is that going ODB is just popping up in tag team matches ist like…
November 3, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Wasnt Daffney Supposed To Wrestle Tara.
Sojo Bolt Is Pregnent Thats Why She Wrestling Got It Off Wrestling Site
November 3, 2009 at 5:53 pm
TNA advertised the Daffney/Tara match before they realised how hurt she got.
Come on guys, seriously, you can’t expect her to actually wrestle after just a few weeks ago getting injured the way she did at the PPV?
