Live 3-Hour Impact Predictions: Knockouts Title, Tag Titles

With two matches announced for tonight’s live three-hour episode of Impact, the Diva Dirt team have chimed in with their predictions for tonight’s show:

Knockouts Championship: ODB vs Tara

Erin: Unless TNA feel like repeating the mistake they made last time in yanking the Knockouts Title away from Tara waaayy too soon, Tara’s walking out as champ. She deserves a nice, long run and her losing would make absolutely no sense. Still, I guess they could swerve us, but it wouldn’t be of much use–TNA demonstrated that they didn’t have much confidence in ODB as an engaging champ as they stuck her in the middle of other feuds (Tara/Kong, Saritaylor/TBP) instead of giving her have actual feuds over the title. With all that in mind, I’m going with Tara to retain.

Melanie: Very predictable. Tara will retain, far too soon to drop the title now. I feel as though this will be the blow-off to this feud with Angelina Love coming out and attacking Tara after the match, leading to a revival of that feud. The Ang involvement is all I’m excited about to be honest.

Steven: It looks like Tara is propped and ready to take on TNA’s top babyface role now that she has the gold. I expect Tara to come out on top tonight. With the rumored return of Angelina Love, I expect her to get involved in some way, picking up their feud where they left off.

Tiffany: Tara will win. I really don’t see TNA making the same mistake it made during Tara’s first run. She obviously isn’t ready to lose the title just yet. Not even TNA can screw this up.

Unwrapped: Eye Candy for the Week Ending January 2nd, 2010

Welcome to this week’s edition of Unwrapped! As always, we will be grading all of the new photoshoots (or “eye candy”, as we like to call them) from the week gone by, judging them like so:

Sweet (Great)Bland (Iffy)Sour (Awful)

You, the reader, will also get the chance to grade the “eye candy” yourself by giving your opinion on each shoot and voting for your favorite out of the whole bunch. Now, dive in!

Note: We missed a Bella twins shoot from a few weeks ago, so I’m covering it now. I do not hold responsibility for any possible overdose on the Bellas suffered during the viewing of this post.

Brie & Nikki Bella‘s Goaltending
Grade: Sour. Continuing with the “Bellas do sexy sports shoots” trend, Brie and Nikki are posing in front of a goal with hockey sticks. I’m not quite seeing the point of the Bellas doing a hockey-themed shoot, and I see even less of a point of doing it the way they’re doing it here. The poses are pretty dumb, especially the ones using the sticks in a “suggestive” manner–it just looks silly and about as subtle as a hammer to the head. That, paired with their clashing outfits (Brie in a baseball-type shirt and skirt and Nikki in a dress) make for a confusing photoshoot. It’s like they took a meh concept and injected it with so many different ingredients that it came out stinking to high heaven instead of just being boring. I vote that the Bellas take a break from the contrived sports-themed shoots and do more shoots like the one below..

Brie & Nikki Bella‘s Marigolds
Grade: Sweet. Unlike the shoot above, the Bellas keep it pretty simple in this one, relying on their matching outfits and twin chemistry to drive the shoot. Personally, that’s how I like these tandem shoots to be done instead of the bar advertisement-worthy ones the WWE ropes them into sometimes. The ring gear they’re wearing here is bright gold and chock-a-block with ruffles–it probably isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I like it for the theme they have going with their gear. As long as they keep it the a single color, these tights can keep from looking too tacky. Their poses, without the lame props to detract from the shoot, simply consist of them standing next to each other, but they compliment each other well and make it interesting–they play off each other well and don’t just look like two random girls put into the photoshoot together. This, I believe, is how the Bellas’ photoshoots should be–plenty sexy, but not cheesy.
