Thoughts after the cut:
Erin’s Thoughts
It’s weird to see a heel shift in ODB’s character, but I’m looking forward to seeing what she and Tara can do together (especially this week’s match between them). It’s nice to see Roxxi get a win over the champ.
although i must say turning odb heel, if that’s the case, does seem a bit iffy. she debuted for tna as a heel and that didn’t work very well at all. not sure why, but that zone sure love her.
Nice to see Roxxi back. I guess they are bringing her back from time to time? Give the girl a full contract!
Also, an ODB heel turn is the best way to salvage her wholly unmemorable title run. This should spice things up. My only gripe would be having a newly-heel-turned ODB lose the title too soon i.e. at this month’s PPV.
i agree with melanie, she needs to come back permanently. it’s almost cruelty to the fans having her pop up every now and then! if anything, somebody in management must really love her, so hopefully she does get offered a contract.
her and daffney could be quite the team vying for the tag belts. build around a taylor wilde betrayed daffney/the guv’nor and then ditched roxxi for sarita type story?
Woah! Roxxi’s back? That’s awesome, even if it’s only for one night. Roxxi was always really popular with the fans in the iMPACT Zone so maybe this was just something they did to get ODB some heel heat. Still, it’s bizarre that they had ODB job to Roxxi clean after she just beat Tara in the spoilers from night one. Shouldn’t that make Roxxi the #1 contender then? I mean, she’s not back on the roster as far as I know but, hell, she just beat the champion! How is she not the #1 contender after that?
I can’t help feeling that the writers are fighting an uphill battle with trying to turn ODB heel. She’s always been so over as a face; it’s not like fans were really clamoring for this. Plus, this just makes it that much harder for Alissa to get a heel push if their just going to put ODB in that spot.
OMG OMG OMG OMG,when i read Roxxi’s name,I fell off my chair,this is so awesome,she beat ODB,i’m so happy,TNA GIVE ROXXI A FULL CONTRACT,the knockouts division needs her,she’s one of the orginal
I guess I still don’t see what Roxxi brings to the table. She’s very bland, very average in the ring and and has no charisma. But, there’s always a place for a chick who doesn’t mind shorter hair cuts to seperate herself from the other very bland, very average in the ring and has no charisma women wrestlers.
Spoilers are coming from our regular Impact correspondent, Camden. Not sure why they don’t seem to be matching the spoilers reported on PWInsider but we’re going to look into it!
In the meantime, please do not post spoilers in comments.
looks like they may be going the kong/hamada for tag gold route afterall. we could see some pretty epic matches from the two of them against taylorita.
i’m hoping the daffney/traci match may make it to the webisode series. sucks if it means they’ve stopped the alissa/brooks mini-feud, though.
So Kong and Hamada are now officially a tagteam. Great to see Sarita/Taylor now have some real opponents. Kinda an odd couple though, neither Kong or Hamada speaks (much) ;-)
No problem with the results of the tag match. But another fall taken by Madison? So much for the “we like her work lately” direction.
Since I’m not watching lately, I no longer really care much. But for the sake of preserving eyes and ears, I sincerely hope TNA doesn’t try a Lauren vs Lacey feud. That would suck horrifically.
TNAFan80, I don’t know why some of the spoilers do not include the Roxxi/ODB match, but I was at the tapings, and I can confirm that she was very much there.
I’m hoping Roxi will get a full contract
of coarse we wont know till thursday
(surely if they sign her she will be added to the roster page after Thursday)
ODB is really putting enfices on the BITCH part in her name
i agree, ebmich, lauren is terribly underrated. and i’m guilty of doing the same with her, i didn’t like her much at all when she first appeared due to liking crystal before her so much, but especially since the daffney stuff she’s been great and extremely eye-opening.
as for her fighting with lacey? i’m not sure. i’d rather never see lauren do anything more than ask questions and push/slap somebody/run away. i wonder what the possibility of an angelina return is like these days? if it is likely, they could always redebut love as a defender of lauren’s if they do of course go ahead with a full out lauren vs TBP feud.
I dunno, Kaledrina. With the scenerio you laid out, I think I would tweak it a little. Like have Lacey and Lauren get into a fight (not necessarily a MATCH).. When Lacey loses, Velvet and Madison teases her until she quits/they kick her out of the group. Well, assuming they are having Lacey and Lauren fued and assuming Love is coming back. lol
I really hope they sign Roxxi again. It’s going to be a little difficult for TNA to throw ODB over as a big heel because she’s such a fan favorite. However, I think her being a little more serious may add some merit to the comedy act TNA made her into.

wtf roxxi, erm nice to see her back but random lmao
okay, seriously, roxxi is back? fuck yeah, even if it’s just another one timer.

Yay for Roxxi.
ODB isnt heel trust me , you know how TNA likes to switch things up.
Like Madison Rayne ?. Awesome Kong ?. They were face at one point or so we thought
TNA does Heels vs Heels and Face vs Faces
If ODB is taking cheap shots at the top baby face and choking out her opponents after matches, she’s most likely heel.
The three way tag match sounds good too.
Why do my posts keep getting deleted? The only Knockout matches in the spoilers are the Knockout’s Three Way Tag and Daffney/Traci.
OMG OMG OMG OMG,when i read Roxxi’s name,I fell off my chair,this is so awesome,she beat ODB,i’m so happy,TNA GIVE ROXXI A FULL CONTRACT,the knockouts division needs her,she’s one of the orginal
it’s official,i hate ODB

dude I so agree w/ kaledrina,,, Roxxi and Daffney would be an awesome tag team!!
& Kong & Hamada vs. Sarita & Wilde at Final Resolution.

Actual work being done on the tag team division. It’s about time.
Nice to see Roxxi back. They should re-sign her.

Read several spoilers and none of them included the ODB/Roxxi match.

Lauren and Lacey fighting? Heck yes. Okay, give it a chance because who knows what they are going to do with them. haha
Lauren is terribly underrated in the “she’s so awesome” catagory. =(
i agree, ebmich, lauren is terribly underrated. and i’m guilty of doing the same with her, i didn’t like her much at all when she first appeared due to liking crystal before her so much, but especially since the daffney stuff she’s been great and extremely eye-opening.

Thanks HurriKaty, I finally read some spoilers that actually did list the match between ODB/Roxxi.
Woo this looks so much better than the last set of tapings!!
I hope they do re-sign Roxxi, instead of just another one-time shot.
Kong/Hamada tag team=EPIC WIN!! Seems like they are finally giving Taylor and Sarita some new competition.
Poor Traci,Alissa,and Daffney.
All three great workers and got top Knockout potential. But are stuck on Xplosion.=/
