I do apologize for the inconvenience due to a late post. I went through hell earlier with my cable company to figure out why my internet modem was out. Then of course, after all of that, due to the fact it is in my roommate’s name, he had to call when he got home. So blame them! Last week, we saw the Knockouts seriously take a turn for the clinically insane. Between an impromptu streetfight to an all out top serving of Wacky Mac(extra cheese), I was honestly ready to dial up Dr. Drew so we could get a intervention. These women have either seriously hit menopause or just said to hell with it and gone straight to the insanity plea. I’m not sure. All I know is that it continues this week so I hope you all have your forks ready. I brought the juice boxes. Dig in!
Our first taste of Knockouts action comes in the form of a tag team match with Angelina Love and Winter, the first pair to the ramp. The resident crazies, one worshipping in her own glory while the other stares a hole through the universe itself. They’re taking on the team of Tara, who makes her way out on that orange crotch rocket we haven’t seen in awhile and Mickie James. HARDCORE COUNTRY! The Knockouts Champion bounds onto the stage and skips down the ramp, dressed like she just stepped off the farm. You know how it is, making Ellie May Clampett look like trailer trash. Her hair is done in a nice little twist and that big smile is always present on her face. All this while Angelina stares a burning ball of fire through her with those zombie eyes.
The bell is chimed so Winter and Tara start things off, Morticia getting the upperhand. She does her best to get Tara in the corner to tag in Angelina but Tara flips her over, dragging her to the other side. Tara tags in her partner and Mickie goes up top, coming down with a big double axe to Winter’s wrenched arm. A nice leg drop of sorts and the “vets” are staying focused on that arm of Winter. Definitely interesting to see these two working together so well, after all the bullshit they went through. A pin attempt but it’s no good so the champion tags in Tara, pulling off a nice double team elbow. Another pin attempt but Winter kicks out, dropping the former bodyguard with a jawbreaker.
Cue the creepy “Here Comes the Zombie” music.
Winter tags in Angelina, who very slowly steps into the ring and immediately sets her sights on Mickie. She raises her arm and points at Mickie, following her as Mickie moves back and forth on the apron. Even zombies have hand/eye coordination. Bravo, Angelina. Mickie, never one to back down, sticks out her arm for a tag but Angelina goes after Tara, getting a hefty sideslam for her effort. A thought on pin attempt but Tara tags in Mickie, landing a double team lifting splash on the fallen Frankenstein. Another pin attempt but it hardly gets past one before Angelina pushes out, shoving her opponent for this Sunday, into her corner. Winter tags herself in and with a little whirl around, Mickie comes back…yet another pin attempt. Whatever happened to just fighting and then going for a pin in the end? If I have to write “pin attempt” one more time….nevermind.
Mickie picks Winter up by her hair and with a forearm/kick combination, Winter reverses it into the corner. However, a rush leads to an elbow to the face but when Angelina inserts herself into the equation, it brings on the double team effort. Tara tries her best to tell the referee but we all know they aren’t the brightest bulbs in the box. Winter goes for the odd pushover cover but the official is distracted and barely gets a count before Mickie kicks out. Fingers in the hair and Winter drags her over, tagging in Frankenstein. The monster gets in the ring and SLAM! with a pin but the champ bridges out of the count. Another tag and I’m getting dizzy again. However, a taunt to Tara leads her to jump in the ring, distracting the official again. This gives Frankenstein an ample spot to choke the hell out of Mickie from behind. Clever crazies.
As soon as the referee turns back, Winter lands a stiff kick to Mickie’s midsection. But she gives her too much time and the country girl fights out of the predictament. She does her best to go for a tag to Tara but Winter jerks her back by the hair, slamming her to the canvas. It flips her across the mat and Winter tags in Angelina, but Mickie sets Morticia up for a neckbreaker, landing a drop kick to Angelina at the same time. I’m sorry. What?! Can we get a replay on that, please?!
Wow. Just had to make sure I saw that correctly.
All three women are down and Mickie is crawling toward her partner, dying to make a tag. Tara is itching to get in but I bet she’s going to be wishing she hadn’t. Out of nowhere, Madison Rayne runs down the ramp and drops Tara’s face down on the apron. She slingshots her into the near steel steps, removing her from the picture. Ultimate revenge? I don’t care. I just want her jeans. Anyway, Mickie had reached her corner but Angelina is right behind her. With a blink of an eye, Angelina just cracks Mickie’s back across her knees, flatlining her. A pin attempt, the FINAL pin attempt and Angelina picks up the three, winning this for her Mistress Morticia. Speaking of, she gives the signal to finish the champ off and Frankenstein obliges, locking in that choke submission. I’m pretty sure I saw a smirk there. Did anyone else see a smirk? Tell me I’m not finally going batshit myself.
Later in the show, we see ODB backstage, bitching about her opponent’s make-up and fake eyelashes. Really? You’re bitching about someone else wearing make-up when you’ve got on a full face?! Not to mention, you bitch about boobs but grope your own constantly and your panties are showing without you even bending over. Hypocritical much? Mhmm. Anyway, the Dirty Bitch enters the arena from the side, no music but she’s brought her flask. Imagine that. Thankfully, she doesn’t get long to run her mouth before Velvet Sky whips her around and just starts wailing on her. She takes to slamming ODB into the side of the steel stage, exacting revenge for the attack from last week. Vel Vel drags ODB toward the ring and goes to send her flying but ODB reverses, sending Vel into the steel steps. My knee hurts now. I can’t even begin to explain to you how much it hurts to slam your knee like that. Ugh.
They finally make it into the ring and ODB demands the official ring the bell, immediately going for a cover. She gets a two count, much to her aggravation and starts laying stiff shots into poor Velvet. ODB stalks around, giving Velvet time to get back up and she tries so hard to fight back, but ODB powers her into the corner. Multiple shots to Velvet’s abdomen and it just doesn’t look good for the solitary BP. She does her best to battle back but ODB is just powerful as hell. Although, I can definitely do without the “Eat a weiner.” comment. I want to smack her with an etiquette manual. But I have to give it to the referee because he stays on her. She keeps getting in his face and he keeps spitting back, even pushing at her shoulder at one time. But even with the time Velvet has to fight back, ODB lays the boots to her in the corner. Stomping a mudhole? Nah.
ODB, distracted by the referee and their disagreements, while Tazz starts comparing her to chimps at the Bronx Zoo. He says something about throwing feces and honestly, I can see the resemblance at this point. I can’t even recap this because it isn’t even a match. If there were a bar, it would be a brawl and I’m pretty sure ODB would have a broken beer bottle in her hand. Hell, she even shoves the referee after slamming fist after fist into Velvet Sky. However, you take too much time away from your opponent and you risk losing momentum, which she does. Velvet powers out of the corner when ODB rushes her, taking her down with a clothesline. And she stays on her, just like you should, slamming her into the corner. Seven, count them. Seven shoulder blocks into the turnbuckles and multiple stomps, plus a foot to throat choke. This is one screwed up equation.
It calls for a count from the official but Velvet doesn’t care. She comes out just long enough to go back in and grab her, taking the fight across the mat. Velvet slams ODB’s face into the top turnbuckle and goes for even more shoulder blocks to the midsection. The Dirty Bitch rolls to the outside and Velvet stalks her from the other side, going for what looks like a flying something or other from the steps. However, ODB catches her and picks her up, slamming her back first into the ring post. Ugh. This match is killing me. The small of my back has been hurting for days. Anyway, both women roll to the floor but ODB gets up first, sliding Velvet into the ring. She does her best to kick the dirty creature away but she’s persistant and pulls Velvet up, dropping her back with a fallaway slam. And then, she slaps her own vagina….
Remember that ointment that was mentioned earlier? CVS called. They’ve got a full supply. They’d like you to be their first sponsor model. And since you’re unemployed and all…just saying.
After that(whatever it was), ODB picks Velvet up and blatantly chokes the shit out of her. I would seriously cut a bitch. Ya feel me?! But it doesn’t last long because that nasty, filthy drunk gets dropped with a rancid DDT. Velvet takes in a breath and drapes the arm. The referee makes the count and BAM! Velvet Sky has won this match for the sake of all clean females everywhere! HALLUHLOOYER!!
Thoughts: Two amazingly consistent matches, well, the second one was a beatdown but it was consistent! I enjoyed this week. It just tacked onto the majorly cray-cray shit we’ve been seeing for weeks now. It is a definite kick in the ass going into Slammiversary, however. I am dying to see how this match between Mickie and Angelina pans out. I don’t know who to choose! But I know it has to be a good match. But um..hello. Where the hell did the fire under Velvet’s ass come from?! Thinking on it, I’d be the same way if I had a hypocrite trying to beat my ass for the same shit she does. I mean, really, with all the trash talking. Have you looked in the mirror lately? I roll my eyes at you, ODB. Anyway, I must go. It is getting past my bedtime. Until next week, my lovies! xoxo

Very good matches. I’m impressed.
Very good week for the Knockouts, and the division is overall doing good at the moment, except I hope that Sarita & Rosita and the Tag Team Titles come into play after Slammiversary, because they haven’t had a lot of use, and Sarita & Rosita aren’t feuding with anyone at the moment. Pairing Miss Tessmacher with someone else (possibly new) would be the easiest thing to do.
The first match was awesome. I especially liked the teamwork of both teams, and that neckbreaker/drop kick combo by Mickie was amazing. Even though it was predictable that Madison would interfere, her input in costing Mickie and Tara the win is an interesting dynamic, given that Mickie and Tara are on good terms now.
The second match as said by April wasn’t really a ‘wrestling’ match, but was a pretty solid (and physical) brawl. Some of the bumps that Velvet was taking were quite intense, and it interesting to see both of them being fairly stiff with their offense, which I think is good in giving Velvet more credibility as a physical threat. ODB’s hypocritical slandering has been effective in getting her back over as a heel, and it’s to finally see her in a match again (albeit not quite a proper one). Hard to see Velvet not going over ODB in this, and perhaps after this feud, Velvet might finally get a title shot. Both of their promos before the match were entertaining as well.
It’ll be very interesting to see what happens at Slammiversary, it could really go either way, though you’d still have to expect Mickie to retain. Hoping for a great match, but we’ll have to see how Zombie Angelina goes in a longer match. Assumedly she’ll really be playing up the no-sells.
i’m wondering if the OBD and velvet match was the blow-off for the fued, or if they are going to continue. I’m also wondering if ODB is going to stay or leave, because they might have only brought her back for this fued
Hope mickie wins this sunday, it’s going to be a big match. Hope Angelina actually fixes her hair for the event because it looks like she hasnt brushed her hair in weeks xD

I think ODB has returned properly now (unlike that one-off match with Madison a few months ago). Because she’s listed on the TNA roster on their webpage, which is usually fairly indicative of someone being on contract, although it isn’t consistent with the storyline that she isn’t. To add to that, she’s been on both Pillow Talk and Spin Cycle since her return. It would be a bit random for them to hire ODB to only do an angle with Velvet then leave, especially when Velvet already had several feuds going for her. In some ways, Velvet is being used to bring back ODB under her slightly tweaked gimmick.
Whats this… I’m ACTUALLY PRAISIN TNA for a good show of the knockouts?! GASP! Thats not like me! =-X
Although if I HAVE to complain about something, its about this write-up. Don’t get me wrong, April does a great job, but isn’t being a repoter someone ho posts unbiased articles? This can CLEARLY be seen when she somewhat tries to disespect ODB about her comments towards Velvet, don’t diss ODB for playing her character please. Unless of course April herself is in character, then I take back everything I said. =-P

April’s sort of being a face commentator putting over the talent as the good and bad characters that they are. It’s a fun writing style that I find very enjoyable to read as opposed to something more ‘matter of factly’ that would be more suitable to a report (if you just wanted the facts). So it’s all just playing into their characters and gimmick, not the actual talent themselves.

Rhawk, I do these Write-Ups from a fan perspective. I am quite possibly one of the biggest wrestling fans imaginable and I just write it as I see it. I wasn’t disrespecting ODB. I was commenting on the fact that it comes off extremely hypocritical for her to complain about someone wearing make-up and skimpy clothes when she’s got a full face and she’s hanging out everywhere. The only true argument I see ODB having in this whole thing is the possbility of Velvet sleeping around, because let’s face it, she has come off as a major…insert your own term here. But I like Velvet and I still like ODB. I simply don’t like this whole thing she’s got going on now because it makes her look bad. But it is my opinion, as we are all entitled. My views do not necessarily reflect those of Diva Dirt. #disclaimer

So you were basically acting like a face commentator then. x-P But again I’m not saying you aren’t entitled to your own opinion, but I somewhat felt that you dragged on about the ODB segment more so than it needed to be discussed, and seemed a little bit, dare I say it… trollish? =-X But if you didn’t mean to sound like that or you weren’t disrespecting her as a performer then thats fair enuf, maybe her character worked so well that it made you react in the way it did. ;-)

@RHAWK You really should SHUT up April does a great JOB with the Write ups and they very enjoyable to read just becuz you don’t like them doesn’t mean you have to say anything. I do Not know if this hurts Aprils feelings or not but telling someone you don’t like there work is kida hurtful and i do agree with APRIL though because ODB talks about being a whore and FAKE tits but come on look at her she has way bigger TITS than before she does show her under ware and smack her ass and in an interview for Pillow talk she kinda said she is a whore so what April says acutally makes a lot of sence she is not beeing a HATER she is just saying what she feels and what is well TRUE.

ODB might as well come off as a bad perspective, I agree with April, ODB not that classy. April’s the one doing the write-ups so shes telling us what she thinks. If you don’t was to see the Write-ups, Then don’t read i’t its that simple. And as you are to, Your a Fan so is April so whats the diffrence?

Lets face it, TNA cares for the Knockout Tag Titles just as much as they care for the people holding them, which is a shame as I’d have to say Sarita and Rosita are my my 2 fav knockouts in TNA, for the moment, my tp fav is Mickie of course
April Reply:
June 11th, 2011 at 9:06 pm
I am highly disappointed that they have not showcased Rosita and Sarita as a tag team themselves, rather than simply “the chicas who follow around Hernandez and Anarquia”, which is how they are portrayed. It is a sad waste of talent in my view.

And to think that a yea and a half ago we had such matches like Satira & Taylor Wilde VS Awesome Kong & Hamada, which has to be one of my all time favourite knockout matches, how the mighty have fallen. ¬__¬ If they can just focus on 1 singles fued for the KO title and another KO fued for the tag titles, it would make things much more enjoyable. Also bringing in more teams would be great for TNA, I mean I can’t think of any teams right now, but they do need new, fresh women on TNA for sure.
And also, laqisha, they would have indeed. x__x

LOL I know that they would be used so poorly in WWE like they propebly get their ass kicked by Rosa and Tamina but that depends on how the crowed reacts to them.
The first match was good, especially Mickie, Tara and Winter did a good job. But whenever Angelina came in the ring she dragged down the match. Mickie vs Winter at the PPV should be a great match (if they keep Angelina out of the match itself).
The second match was garbage, it was just a brawl without much wrestling. I am not against brawls if they are done well, but this one went on too long.

You are right, cant believe i mixed those 2 up ;-)
Well, there goes my excitement for that match. Zombie Angelina is superslow paced, so not really looking forward to that.
Damn both matches were solid and very entertaining!!! Tara and Mickie make a good tag team. Angelina and Mickie also have great in-ring chemistry aswell!!
Velvet Sky!! This was a solid showing, seriously she should stick to this style of wrestling it suits her. I loved this match and I loved how Velvet just showed no fear against ODB. Velvet Sky 4 KO champion!!!
Both the matches were great !
But Isnt ODB wearing Make-up herself ? And dressed like a whore herself ? Smacking her #$&&* ? Then she is has no contract and she is appearing on Impact each week and hasnt been thrown out or banned ? LOL

June 12th, 2011 at 3:06 pm
Yeah i thought the sam thing why wouldn’t they throw her out if she is ot under contract
I found the tag match to be boring. And i was surprised how winter was botching mickie’s moves since theyve worked well together previously
I really enjoy’d this iMPACT KO wise. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the Brawl between ODB and Velvet. I love ODB but a brawl to me shoulda be so long I kept finding myself distracted by other things then to sit down and actually want to watch it. I think there feud is done atm I would hope so.
3 Feuds going on at once Good job TNA.
Sarita and Rosita need a feud now. Miss T go feud with Mexican amerca get you some boys and be all Ashley and Brian Kendrick and Paul London on there ass!

I honestly don’t think I would know how to handle myself if Miss Tessmacher teamed up with loopy Brian Kendrick. Now that would be an odd team. Haha.
As much as I thoroughly enjoyed this edition of Knockouts action yet again, I still hope there will be an ushering in of new talent soon. The roster needs to shapeshift, but it’s hard given the limited number of active women. New blood will freshen up the wrestling opportunities. Some elongated thoughts, however:
- Velvet Sky’s slow burning story to becoming Knockouts Champion isn’t going to fully resonate until she starts showing visible progress along the way. I actually see glimpses of an early Trish Stratus watching Velvet show heart against the colossal odds stacked against her, but the ending of her match was a tired spin on the revelation that no opponent should take her lightly. She needs a few new signature moves to emphasise each victory and slowly depart from the perception she goes into every contest as the underdog.
- Goth-zombie chic is sickeningly sexy on Angelina Love. I’d dare say Angelina was perhaps the most dynamic worker on the roster after seeing her pull this difficult gimmick off. Winter works the mystic puppeteer role like any good B-movie actress, although one can’t help but wonder why the idea wasn’t conceived when the criminally underused Daffney was around.
- ODB still has no contract yet the company is agreeable with having her roam around freely (and weekly) and being violent towards employees? Come on, writers, try harder. Rule #1: neither patronise viewers nor assume they’re stupid. Leave that for the online community. Unless ODB isn’t sticking around and the culmination of her return is that she will only get a spot on the roster until she defeats Velvet at whatever PPV they settle the bad blood at? Couldn’t they have written ODB as the enforcer of Karen Jarrett in a method of revenge?
- Tara is looking incredible. There was a lovely chemistry between she and Mickie and it translated beautifully into the tag match. The emphasis on the aspect of teamwork elevated what could have been slow and forgettable. The interference from Madison was inevitable. A feud between both will be great, especially if Madison ropes in some extra help. Melanie Cruise? Yes, please. Next week I want to see Madison once again jump Tara when she teams with Miss Tessmacher for…
- … A match with the tag team champions. Who are they and, more importantly, where are they?

I would also like to know where the tag team champs are!!?? I would love to see them bring in serena & christina von eerie or even roxxi to form a stable with inkinc and have an EPIC feud with mexican american . yes please
Angelina & Winter vs Mickie & Tara was decent. Angelina pinning Mickie was the right thing to do because it gives Angelina momentum going into Slammiversary.
If Impact Wrestling has no plan on bringing in any new KOs atm are forming new teams then they should really just get rid of the KO tag titles. IMO they just don’t serve any purpose. Especially since Rosita & Sarita have no challengers and it has been well over 30 days since they last defended them.
Velvet vs ODB I don’t care what anyone says this was good for what it was. Velvet really showed some fire out there and it was nice to see her get a win. My only complaint is I hate how Velvet’s win just came out of nowhere. That’s the problem with al of her victories they come off as flukes. If Impact is serious about pushing her they need to book her to look stronger when she wins so it won’t come off as a fluke.
Also if ODB isn’t under contract why is she wrestling? They should have saved this match for Slammiversary and had it like if ODB defeats Velvet she gets her job with Impact Wrestling back. But they seem to love keeping Velvet off of PPVs lately. She hasn’t been on one since Bound For Glory.
It’s about time Tara wrestle’s as a face, The knockouts shined this week on Impact. The match between Angelina love, Winter and Tara, Mickie was very good. I have to say Tara hasn’t wrestled in a longtime, coming next to as a face. Mickie James looked stunning tonight, and I wonder why Winter wore her jacket during the match. Anyways, I liked the whole sneak attack between Madison and Tara, Although I think that Madison came alittle late, Like in a ”Returning” Late.
The Match between ODB and Velvet sky was unpredictable. When I was watching the segment betwwen ODB and Velvet sky, ODB has no place to talk really. Anyways, The match. The Match between Velvet and ODB was good. Velvet definatly brung out her heel side alittle, you could see it. I really liked that the fact ODB didn’t have an entrance, It kind of brung up her new Heel side. This weeks Impact was really good, More of the Knockouts.

Tara wrestled as a face right after Sacrifice when she teamed with Mickie and Miss T against Madison, Sarita and Rosita. Tara ‘woke up’ the crowd with her choke-slam-into-a-sit-down-power-bomb on Rosita that almost put her through the ring.

Yes good week for KO’s Loved the move Mickie did. Glad Velvet won.
Sunday should be good hope Mickie wins

Well considering ROH got their new TV deal, I don’t think SRD & the Haze would need to be on TNA, same with Serena as I’d prefer her on ROH tbh. But the likes of Christina Von Errie, Melanie Cruise and Leva Bates, that would make things more interesting for sure. =-)

April, that was fun to read. Love your write ups. =)
I certainly enjoyed my weekly dose of Knockouts action and have only a small complaint. I know Mickie James is a great babyface, but I don’t want to see her and VicTara as chums. Considering they recently had a hellacious rivalry, they should have played up a mutual respect and not smiling so much. Kind of like Trish Stratus and VicTara when they teamed as faces? They were partners, but not friends. I think that would have added more dimension in the match.
Besides that, I think Angelina and Winter are working very well as a team.
Velvet is quickly winning me over. She’s alot of fun to watch and her brawl with ODB was great. Very Trish/Jazz in the way it was booked, which is smart imo.
Have Velvet work a little more on actual moves and I think she can make a great, underdog Knockouts Champion.
i cant believe mickie james was pinned by ANGELINA! i would rather have sarita pinning her instead!
BillyGP Reply:
June 12th, 2011 at 4:26 am
Well Sarita not feuding with Mickie. Plus much as i love Mickie why shouldnt Love pin Mickie?
That was probably Velvet’s best match to date and that’s a lot coming from someone who thinks she’s a below average wrestler(in-ring wise). Maybe some of the divas should start have “brawls” instead of wrestling matches where the girls just cat fight and brawl and slam each other into things and etc. like they used to do back in the late 90s. I still remember Tori vs Ivory. That was a pretty entertaining match. The reason being because not everyone can wrestle but everyone can take moderate bumps and fight. Why do you think Trish vs Stephanie was so good. They weren’t technically sound in-ring generals, but they could fight because that’s just in human nature to be violent if someone has to be to protect themselves at the least.

BillyGP Reply:
June 12th, 2011 at 4:24 am
Velvet is more then in ring skills. She has charisma,she good on the mic,she knows her spots, she takes good bumps, & she entertains,
.
Someone said this reminded them of Ivory vs Terri (Tori) well i think it more like Trish vs Victoria but either way it entertained me.
Good matches IMO and also did anyone notice Madison was wearing Angelina old jeans when she returned to TNA ???
I find it odd that Winter, as the mystical Svengali character, is given absolutely no offense in the ring. She’s an experienced worker but I don’t think she is best suited to doing the majority of bumps in a match. Especially considering her physical stature beside a Mickie or Angelina. She should be credited as a threat with at least some power moves but they are using her as though she was AJ’s size. The inability to mount even a minor offense totally undercuts her character’s control and influence. Just really weak writing and I think one of the reasons Winter comes off as sloppy on occasion is that she’s having to over-do selling for much smaller, shorter women.
The tag match itself was okay and did what it needed to leading into the championship match. The Tara face turn has amounted in pretty much nothing for her to do. And after all of the heat in her rivalry with Mickie just forgotten, her character is left on the sidelines as an afterthought. A possible program with Madison is weak tea after dropping the ball and cooling off that rivalry in the weeks since her liberation from the “contract”, a victory that someone else had to win for her.
Then there’s Velvet and ODB in yet another awful brawl telling a story that makes no sense. As one of the earlier comments noted, it is nonsense that TNA is selling the idea that ODB’s not a contracted worker. She has to enter from the side? So any old Joe can thrash the crap out of a worker if they enter from the side? That is some garbage writing. I’ll give Velvet this much, she tries real hard. But holy hell she is not cut out for the roll of hard ass brawler. This whole story line is just crap and it isn’t getting either of these two over. As a program, where are they supposed to go after starting out with brawls that go all over the building? Are they going to build what passes for a feud and blow it off in a wrestling match? Stupid, stupid writing.
And as for the commentary, Taz needs to shut the hell up. In the midst of what is supposed to be a huge, uncontrollable battle he’s speculating on ODB’s reaction to erectile dysfunction? Anybody that complains about the way Michael Cole was undercutting Diva’s matches likely cringes with every pigeon and every stupid, lascivious sneer that comes out of that ignorant little trolls gob. Shut up Taz, just please, shut up.
@ April i noticed you said you like the pants Madison was wearing but i don’t no if u noticed but thoes are the same pants Angelina was wearing when she Returned back to TNA and attcked Velvet and lacey
“Why are so & so not on?!” “Why are so & so not wrestling!?!”
Hey, if it’s a 3 hr show for the Knockouts ONLY, i bet they will. So be happy that those who are on are given enough time to put up great matches for us.
I loved the teaming of tara and mickie! :)
The double team moves were great.
I just wish that such matches would take place in wwe aswell. :(
The knockouts at least have their feuds and storylines going with enough time to wrestle aswell.
i too think tna needs 1 new women on their roster. fingers crossed wwe releases one of their better wrestling divas and tna impact picks them up. Question is which wwe diva would we like to see most in tna? or yes they could go to indies where there is a pool of talent.
as for the matches i thought they were both really good and its also pleasing for me to see tara. speaking of which the attack on her by madison should become the new angle for tara whilst i think velvet should team with mickie next week to take on angelina love and winter. odb meanwhile should join forces with madison. imo.
