Before we even begin, I want to apologize for the severe lateness of this article. As I posted on my Twitter (@_trophyWAG), I lost my internet sometime during the morning on Friday and wasn’t able to have it fixed until late yesterday (Monday) afternoon. I’m sure by now the majority of you don’t care what happened on Impact and you certainly don’t want to rehash it, but I can’t leave a half-written piece just sitting around in drafts, haha. Anyway enjoy this shortened, super late Impact Write-Up!
On Thursday’s Impact, the ongoing saga of the Beautiful People continued but this time in the form of an in-ring segment. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky officially came together again and put their past behind them. The reunion celebration was short lived and a massive brawl ended up taking place.
Angelina and Velvet, reunited at last, both came out to the ring together this week in street clothes. They did their vintage Beautiful People entrance and I’m not sure if it’s just me, but boy was it weird to hear them get a face reaction. After a few minutes of posing and whatnot, Angelina took the microphone and the music faded out. She admitted that she has made quite a few mistakes in her life and said that Velvet has as well. But through it all, she honestly felt like the friendship she shared with Velvet was real and in the wrestling business, real friendships were hard to come by. Angelina continued on by saying that when she split from Velvet, and they went their separate ways, she felt like something was missing. Angelina made the assumption that all of us felt the same way and Velvet is quick to agree that she backs up that sentiment. That fans marked. Angelina said that she’s not always a perfect little angel and that when she wants too, she can be a pretty mean bitch. But she wants herself and Velvet to forgive and forget so both of them can move on with their lives. Velvet took the microphone next.
Velvet basically replied that there is no sense in rehashing the past between herself and Angelina, especially with Madison Rayne running around. Velvet said that they created a monster and they should let bygones be bygones, and do what they do best – run the TNA Knockouts division together.
HOLLER!
The original Beautiful People embraced in the ring and their music started to play. It wasn’t the end of their promo by any means, it just signaled the entrance of Madison Rayne and Tara. (I refuse to use “Mystery Woman” anymore so deal with it.) They rode out together on Tara’s bike, and both ended up in the ring. Velvet kept saying to Angelina that it was their (as in OBP) music they came out too and she wasn’t impressed. Madison got the microphone first and she said that if she wasn’t such a lady she would barf right here in the middle of the ring. Madison told both of her former besties that first thing in the morning they would be hit with a copywrite infringement suit from her lawyers because she doesn’t want Ang and Vel Vel to ever come out to her song again. Furthermore, she doesn’t want either of them referring to themselves as the Beautiful People. Madison told everyone to look around and that she was the ONLY beautiful person in the ring. She continued her rant by saying she was all natural and called Angelina and Velvet “silicone whores.” Brilliant.
Madison went on to single out Angelina. She said that Angelina is the woman who brought her to TNA because the Beautiful People needed youth, beauty, and class. Madison said that the Beautiful People were at the end of their road and it was her influence on the ground that made them part of the main event again. With that having been said, Madison turned to Velvet. She said to Velvet that the only thing Velvet has been in TNA and will basically ever be is Madison’s little bitch.
Velvet replied by spearing Madison.
Velvet started to beat on Madison, which prompted Tara to jump in. Angelina came right to Velvet’s defense and she just unloaded on her former rival. Tara never really stood a chance as Angelina rained blow after blow down on her. TNA security came running to the ring and broke the fight up much to the disgust of everyone in the audience. The crowd began to chant “Let them go! Let them go!” and eventually, Velvet and Angelina broke free. They pounced on their opponents and security really roughed them up this time, especially that creep who was touching Velvet. TNA promptly cut to a backstage segment with the Motor City Machine Guns which did nothing at all but annoy me.
Thanks TNA.
Well this segment wasn’t bad and it wasn’t good. Madison’s promo was so screechy and loud that I sorta never want to hear her cut a promo again. It was just awful. As far as the Tara situation goes, I have to say that I’m over it. It still doesn’t make sense to me that she is working with the woman that basically drove her out of TNA, and furthermore, it’s even more ludicrous to watch this veteran get bossed around by a tiny little 20-something blonde. I feel like I’m being overly picky with this situation but it’s just gone on for far to long. I, for one, am grateful that it’s about to come to a head. I’m not going to spoil it for anyone who still lives under a rock, but yeah.
The brawl was really fun. I loved Velvet’s spear to Madison. I wish security would have just let them all fight, but maybe they’re saving the brawl for a big match or something. I’m totally ready to see the Original Beautiful People knock Madison off her high horse and make Tara wish she would have stayed in retirement. I’m also fascinated to see how OBP react to Tara’s unveiling. There’s definitely a lot going on with the Knockouts right now. It’s either good or bad depending on who you’re a fan of.

the leaning tower of Madison took Velvet sky’s old Promo skills (screeching in the mic) i actually prefer what happened on Impact to what happened on Raw, but given that Dixie’s the secret Raw GM (it’s obvious the GM spends all day on the internet emailing and watching WWE, thus it’s clearly Dixie) she’ll probably unify the Knockouts Tag & singles titles
The brawl was okay. I give TNA credit for actually making they’re knockouts look more threatening and fierce.
This situation is just boring to me. I hope they drop this angle soon.
my question is what’s going to happen with lacey??
AHAHAHA @ Madison’s facial expression in the main photo
That security guy wasn’t a creep at all.
i think lacey is “injured”? cuz velvet accidently pushed her to lockers and she hit head?
Madison impressed me. She’s a natural heel, and frankly she’s the only one of the five main girls I care about.
Madison was screetchy and loud on purpose TO annoy you! So she is doing her job, and doing it well ;)
taras on maisons side to get her job back i think its gonna come down too..all 4 of the girls in this segment have implants LOL..taras looking the most real…
JJ that guy Murphy was grabbing Velvet all over as if he was feeling her up oy if that isn’t creepy or perverted then what is it!?!? Lol
It says a lot when this is the segment that scored the highest ratings of the entire TNA Impact show this week. The Hogan/Bischoff team is putting all of their efforts into the parts of the show that are bombing, yet the uninteresting [and in my opinion boring] Knockout segments that are just thrown together are what people are tuning in for.
At least TNA management has some idea of what people want to watch. Sarcasm for the win.

How are the other segments bombing?? Do you know what the other segemnts scored? Didn’t think so.
Just because YOU find what the KOs are doing now “boring and uninteresting” doesnt mean everyone else does. Obviously people find it interesting, by the rating, because if they didnt they wouldnt watch.
This segment was very good, and perfectly done. This storyline is awsome in my opinion. Angelina and Velvet have created a monster in Madison and it is coming to bite them in the ass. Now they have to take care of it.
Tara is so desperate to get back into TNA that she is willing to do anything, even be Madisons bitch.
This is wrestling people, quit taking it so seriously and nitpicking to death. Just sit back and enjoy. jeez.
lol @Teri…i really noticed that!!
look at the way they entered the arena…i miss torrie and candice,and victoria is used as a bodyguard…of course i dont mean they are somehow copying the vince’s devils :p
i can’t understand how can TBP say they are original while the bitchy mean girls attitude is something many heel divas used before!!
back to the topic…madison did sucha great job she is a very entertaining heel “silicone whores” lol
one last note..TNA security guys are so lucky they get hand full of…everything everytime TBP are having a cat fight
The beginning of the OBP entrance was kinda cool to see again and then I got bored.
Shouldn’t Hamada be dominating tna not tbp.
it was ok but the action was good but kinda boring
@ Teri … “AHAHAHA @ Madison’s facial expression in the main photo”
› lmfao *dies.
“i think lacey is “injured”? cuz velvet accidently pushed her to lockers and she hit head?”
yep, she has a kayfabe broken cheek from when velvet accidently pushed her into that thing backstage. it’ll be interesting when she comes back, seeing who she sides with.
but yeah, i really enjoyed the knockouts on impact this past week, the segment was perfect, no slip ups. it was really believable with some great humour chucked in for good measure, too. usually i’d be a bit pissy because there wasn’t an actual match, but the promo more than made up for that.
While my previous comment is awaiting moderation…
To further explain my point, the Hogan/Bischoff crew needs to start putting their efforts into things that people (including myself) obviously want to see more than anything else on TNA television… the Knockouts.
I loved the Beautiful People. They were my favorite in TNA! I’m so glad they’re back together. Those two were great. And I like their entrance better than that booty pop that they did with Madison and Lacey. Anyway, I miss them in their black pants and black shirts that said “HOLLA!”
Frakkin fantastic.
It seems to me that Madison needs a new entrance song.
….and Lacey…poor thang. I wonder which side she’ll choose. I’m guessing its Madison since she’ll most likely blame Velvet for pushing her.
I loved the fight. I love a good spear and head pound. Love it!
Also, weren’t they a face before they turned heel?
“Also, weren’t they a face before they turned heel?”
yep! as velvet-love entertainment. i of course prefer the heel gimmick, but their tag team wrestling while face was probably better. it also give love the chance to be more flashy. ..the division was weird when it first started, odb and roxxi used to be heel while tbp were face. it’s good things changed soon after.
Macho Madness-
PWTorch has the complete breakdown of quarter-hour/segment ratings. My previous comment was deleted by a mod because it had the web address.
My opinion on this week’s match/segment isn’t worth arguing, it’s just my opinion. So just think about if Hogan & Co. actually put the most creative effort into what is drawing the highest ratings. This is nothing new for TNA, the previous regime did the exact same thing. I believe we’re in the same boat, my friend, in that we would both like to see more time for the knockouts and have more, if not all of the female roster utilized on TNA programming. If they did that we’d all be getting more of what we wanted. So listen up Hogan & Bischoff, we want more knockouts!
