Below are spoilers for next week’s big 4 hour New Year’s Knockout Eve special for Impact. Click the ‘+’ to read.
Thoughts after the cut:
Melanie’s Thoughts As mentioned earlier today, Amber O’Neal and Lorelei Lee were two of the names we confirmed last week. The initial idea was to have them work as a team, more specifically, work as Team Blondage. It looks like TNA opted to put Lee with Hunter instead.
Let’s hope Hamada wins the Knockouts tournament. No one needs ODB vs Tara again.
EDIT: What in the actual fuck?! So ODB, instead of just invoking her freakin’ rematch clause, wrestles three times in one night for the same opportunity? Lame as hell. And frankly, no one wants to see this feud continue. The match at last night’s PPV was bad enough.
i’m surprised to see two “unknowns” wrestling eachother, even if it doesn’t appear to be as part of the tournament. i heard it was a terribly botched finish though, which sucks.
hamada on live tv, if the title shot goes out on jan 4th, will be great.
I was really rooting for Alissa, especially after the D3 today. I hope Hamada wins this, however I can see ODB winning.
I think that the ODB/Kong match might be good, but I just cannot stand ODB. Personally, I don’t think she meshes well with anyone. I don’t want a rematch from last night at Final Resolution. It was average, at best.
oh dear. they’re carrying on the odb/tara feud. what a lovely way to end the year?? disappointing, really, a whole tourny just to continue what already was.
well this sucks,none of my favs made it to the finals,Madison lost,Roxxi lost,alissa flash wasn’t even in the tournment-_- and uggh I hate ODB,no wants to see her and Tara again,Hamada better win
even though the results aren’t to my liking,this is so exciting,SO MUCH WOMENS ACTION ALMOST 10 MATCHES:D
i dont know if i just didnt see any of her matches but ODB just dosent have that wow factor like if you where to name all the knockouts you might forget her. but i would have liked to see some alissa flash action.
it sounds like they may be continuing the kong/hamada team, perhaps. but giving the no.1 contendership to somebody who technically already was the no.1 contender (due to the rematch clause) is a bit, well, stupid.
i agree, paparazzi. i love that she gets bigger cheers from the audience than some if not most of the guys, but i just don’t get what others see in her.. unless it’s the whole drinking alcohol is, like, totally kewl stuff? lol
the matches I wanna see are Madison rayne vs. hamada(should be a good match but kinda a squash),Roxxi vs. Velvet sky(because Roxxi is in and seeing lacey attack Roxxi should be amusing),kong vs. daffney( I hope it wasn’t a sqaush),saritaylor in action,and Roxxi vs. hamada
April Hunter has never been in Shimmer, and unless hell freezes over i doubt we will ever see her there ;-)
Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky, Daffney and Traci Brooks all loosing in the first round, kinda predictable. This tournament doesnt really look interesting, i was hoping for a tournament of Knockouts vs Indies, but we got more of the same. And No Alissa in the tournament? And a TBP-Roxxi feud has also been done :(
But nice to see Amber there (she could’ve tagteamed with Lizzy as well).
It was to early for Hamada tbh. I hope she gets to be a champion, but right now, it was the right thing to give it to miss ODB, even tho I’m already so tired of her character, I guess a heel turn wouldn’t hurt much?! C an’t wait for the tag team match AND the Roxxi/Hamada encounter!
Maybe that will at least force WWE to have a decent divas match on January 4th.. maybe. It would’ve been more of a push if it was Hamada or Kong though.

is it just me, or is the box not opening?

Didnt April Hunter retire due to her back she’s back now?
at 12:29 am
I thought April Hunter retired. Wow. Is she back for good or is this a one-time only thing? :)

Honestly this doesn’t sound too impressive. I was hoping for a shocker like Angelina Love returning. If ODB wins I’ll cry.

“Roxxi defeats Velvet Sky in the third tournament match. Roxxi is interviewed after the match but gets laid out by Lacey Von Erich.”
Let the hilarity of the 156768176 comments about how much Lacey sucks begin!
I just hope the matches that should’ve gotten time got the time while the matches that should’ve been short were short.
at 12:35 am
Velvet Sky, but no Madison Rayne? That’s odd.
I love Hamada and ODB, so I don’t care who wins :)
at 12:43 am
I think April has been back to wrestling for quite a while.

No Alissa Flash? Yet, Velvet Skye? Meh…

at 12:52 am
ODB should have got her rematch tonight, then the rest of the KOs could fight for #1 contendership.
at 12:53 am
OMG I officially hate ODB,although I see why they gave her the win,I still didn’t want to see it,we all know she won’t win on jan. 4
ps. Jan 4 is Hulk Hogans TNA debut,having ODB vs. Tara as the knockout match is not going bring in an audience,good job dixie…NOT
