The Tiffany Guide to Impact: The Ladies in Red

December 10, 2009August 14, 2009 by Tiffany

Last night’s edition of TNA Impact sought the anticipated return of Christy Hemme. Impact kicks off with Christy making her ever so energetic way to the ring (still donning her Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 attire) to an ever accessible Sojourner Bolt.

The match starts off with an exchange of hairpulling and headlocks as a test of strength. Christy takes Sojo down for the headlock, but Sojo counters into a headscissors submission. Christy powers out and puts the split-legged boot to Sojo for the 2-count. Christy takes a moment to situate a wedgie as Sojo finds her way to the ropes. Sojo runs the ropes and then proceeds to slam Christy down onto the mat. She takes her down for a backbreaker that renders a near-fall. Sojo leads Christy into a choke against the ropes. Some chants “Lets go Christy” chants resonate the arena as Sojo nails a slingshot elbow onto her opponent. She sets Christy up for a powerbomb, but Christy sandbags and sends Sojo over with a back drop. Sojo lands rather…dangerously and nearly on her head. Unconcerned, Christy riles up the crowd and then drops Sojo with a forearm and a spinning kneel-out facebuster. Christy misses a clothesline, but manages an uninspired cross body block. In what seems to be some failure in communication, Sojo cannot seem to muster up the strength to lift Christy, which results in a blown spot. So, Sojo charges Christy into the corner, instead. Sojo heaves Christy to the top turnbuckle. She attempts a superplex, but Christy knocks her down. Christy lands the “Flying Firecrotch Guillotine” (yes folks you read that right, the FFG) onto Sojo for the win.

Watch the match below:

Not the most impressive match, and we all pretty much knew the result going into it, but it was decent for what it was. Christy and her boobs looked good (can’t really comment on the firecrotch, though). Plus, Christy looks extremely pleased to be back home on the active roster:

I’m sure fans can’t wait to see what just might be in store for Christy now that’s she’s back.

Next up is the Four-Corners match among ODB, Victoria, Awesome Kong, and the Knockouts Champion Angelina Love.

Another Ratings ‘Knockout’ for TNA

August 10, 2009 by Melanie

Newcomers, Alissa Flash and Sarita helped last week’s Knockouts tag team match post stellar ratings for Spike TV’s Impact. The fantastic tag team match which saw Sarita team with Taylor Wilde against Flash and Traci Brooks posted a 1.32 in the ratings, according to our parent site Female Fight League. The match was the highest … Read more

The Tiffany Guide to Impact: Poetry in Motion

September 4, 2009August 7, 2009 by Tiffany

tnaimpact080609

To play off the simmering feud between Alissa Flash and Sarita as well as last week’s encounter between Traci Brooks and Taylor Wilde, last night’s TNA Impact set the tone for a respective heel vs. face tag team match.

Traci Brooks and Taylor Wilde start off the match with Taylor embracing Traci from behind and tossing her over with an arm drag. Taylor runs the ropes and cartwheels over Traci, leading her into a second arm drag and a kick to the midsection. Traci counters an Irish Whip which sends Taylor to the corner. Traci suffers another stiff kick to the ribs and Taylor sets her up for an innovative flip off of the top turnbuckle. Traci exits the ring to collect herself and soon tags in Alissa Flash.

Taylor and Alissa begin to get a feel for each other through a series of discouraged offense, but before any chemistry between them can be further explored, Taylor tags in Sarita. Alissa delivers a kick and a chop, but Sarita counters with a headscissors takedown. She then avenges Alissa’s chops in the corner. Alissa follows Sarita into the opposite corner where Sarita flips her over with a springboard arm drag. While Alissa and Traci catch a breather on the outside, Sarita, with an assist from Taylor Wilde, delivers an awe-inspiring diving crossbody to their opposition onto the floor. As TNA takes another look, Sarita’s fluidity is aptly deemed by Don West as “poetry in motion.”

The Tiffany Guide to Impact: Strange Bedfellows

September 4, 2009July 31, 2009 by Tiffany

tnaimpact073009

This week on Impact provided a six-Knockout tag match, pitting Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, and Madison Rayne against the likes of ODB, Awesome Kong, and Victoria. As well as an interview with former-Knockouts champion, Victoria.

Interestingly enough, Victoria is announced to be accompanied by tarantula, Poison, which has become an entity of its own. As the commentators get a little flustered over the Beautiful People’s entrance, I have to say that I have been loving Kong’s expressions as of late. The look of disinterest on her face at the start of the match is priceless.

Victoria and Angelina start off the match with a lock up, and Victoria delivers a series of open-handed punches. A run through the ropes and Victoria knocks down the Knockouts champion. Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne attempt to make the save, but Victoria takes the fight to them, as well. Angelina takes advantage of the distraction and blindsights her opponent. Angelina opts to run the ropes, but Victoria takes her down with a powerslam. She goes for the cover until the Beautiful People break up the count. ODB and Kong clear out the ring and the action breaks loose. In the meantime, Victoria resorts to some dirty tactics against Angelina as a source of expressing her pent-up resentment. Victoria delivers a scoop slam to Angelina, who soon scurries away just in time to tag in Madison. Victoria outsmarts Madison and quickly takes her down with a drop toehold before tagging in ODB. ODB lunges Madison into the corner and slams chest-first into her. She then sets Madison up for a fallaway slam, followed by a kip-up. TNA, with their now usual tendency of cutting to break during their Knockout matches, fades to commercial.

The Tiffany Guide to Impact: Let the Bodies Hit the Floor

December 10, 2009July 24, 2009 by Tiffany

This week on Impact, the entire active Knockout roster competed in a battle royal for the prize of $50,000 and a chance to be part of the Main Event Mafia. Why the need of a referee for a battle royal, I’m not sure, but a recurrent Traci Brooks fills that quota.

At the first sound of the bell, the most glaring thing is that there is so much going on. I even had flashbacks of the Miss WrestleMania match with theÂ absurdity and lack of entrances. Daffney gets eliminated first, and Awesome Kong tosses Madison RayneÂ out onto Daffney. In a bit of an overeaction, referee Slick Johnson cradles Madison and calls for help, shadows of their “interaction” last week.

The Beautiful People, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky throw ODB over the top rope, but Cody Deaner breaksÂ her fall.Â Shady Slick Johnson takes heed of this and sends him to the back. SojournerÂ Bolt isÂ eliminated by Taylor Wilde, next. Velvet Sky makes an unsuccessfulÂ attempt at Victoria, who eliminates her with a kick to the face. Kevin Nash is spotted making his way to commentary as TNA cuts to commercial.

The Tiffany Guide to Impact: Knockoutpalooza

December 10, 2009July 17, 2009 by Tiffany

This week’s installment of TNA Impact was jam-packed with Knockout action, including two promos and the debut of Sarita and Alissa Flash.

First, Impact delivered a promo setting up Sharmell vs. Jenna Morasca. Both Sharmell and Jenna hold nothing back in expressing their ill feelings towards one another. Jenna does not seem intimidated at all by Sharmell, but appears to overcompensate with words what Sharmell has in experience. I’m not exactly sure where Sojourner Bolt and Awesome Kong fit in at Victory Road, seeing as the match is still advertised as Sharmell vs. Jenna. Given the impression that each competitor will have her own lady in her corner respectively, it doesn’t do much to level the playing field. Jenna would easily have the edge with Kong at her side. Though, what’s most amusing is that TNA seems to be really treating this as a serious match. Well if you’ve got to admire anything about TNA, it’s got to be their ability to hype anything. Just as I anticipated, this will be only one of two Knockout matches. So, it’s nothing for fans to pull their hair out or souse their eyes out for just yet. I fear it will be that unimpressionable.

Watch the video below:

Further down the lineup, the Beautiful People make their way to the ring with some choice words in mind.

Before They Were Divas: Velvet Sky

June 13, 2013July 12, 2009 by Steven

velvet

Welcome to another edition of ‘Before They Were Divas’, the Diva Dirt exclusive where we look back at our favorite Divas and Knockouts before the glitz and glamour of the “big leagues”.

Today we’re taking a look back at TNA Knockout and sidekick extraordinaire, Velvet Sky. This week on Impact, we saw Velvet take on TNA newcomer, Tara (ugh), in singles action. Believe it or not, this was history repeating itself. Back in 2005, Velvet made a one shot appearance on WWE Heat as ‘Talia’ to take on the Diva better known as Victoria with the same result.

The Tiffany Guide to Impact: Victoria Makes Knockout History

September 4, 2009July 10, 2009 by Tiffany

This week on TNA Impact marked a very momentous evening for the Knockouts.

Victoria is set to first take on Velvet Sky. Backstage we find the Beautiful People making their way to the Impact Zone. Velvet seems very upset at the events that took place last week. Velvet holds nothing back in pronouncing just how fed up she is with Angelina Love‘s selfishness ; she puts Angelina in her place as Madison Rayne timidly looks on.

When the Beautiful People make their way to the ring in their typical manner, something very non-typical occurs. The camera man reaches out to fondle poor Vel-Vel, but Velvet is having none of it. I’m not exactly sure why this little random little incident takes place, but I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone tried to cop a feel. Creepy, but funny.

Next, Victoria confidently approaches ring. Her signature tarantula, ‘Poison’ is in tow to level the playing field. Victoria delivers a very steady set of punches to the chest of Velvet Sky, followed by some lunges into the turnbuckle. An irish whip into corner, but Victoria eats the sole of Velvet’s boot. Velvet then perseveres with a clothesline and resorts to her cat fighting expertise again with a choke to Tara.

Velvet insists on more prissy offense before she goes for a pin. When Victoria is hung up against the ropes, Angelina sees this as an opportunity to get the better of her. However, the referee catches her before she can assault Victoria with the Knockouts belt. Unperturbed, Victoria takes down Velvet with a few clotheslines and scoop slam. Velvet puts up a fight but cannot quite wiggle herself out of an amazingly powerful Widow’s Peak. Victoria picks up the win.

Watch the first match below:

Velvet falls under hostage status once again when the Beautiful People suffer dÃ©jÃ vu at the sight of Victoria’s tarantula. The crowd eggs Victoria on, but before she can proceed, Angelina makes the ultimate decision to come to the defense of her partner this time. So, Victoria gives Angelina a very clever ultimatum: Velvet’s safety in exchange for a chance at the Knockout’s title. Angelina Love gives in. Thus, we have ourselves an impromptu TNA Knockout’s title match.

The Tiffany Guide to Impact: The Beautiful People Endure ArachNO!phobia

September 4, 2009July 3, 2009 by Tiffany

impact02july09

This past Thursday, TNA lead us into a featured Knockouts competition with a quick promo to hype the debut of Sarita – definitely something to look forward to in upcoming weeks.

Next is the contest of The Beautiful People, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky vs. the team of Awesome Kong and Victoria. I’ve never quite understood the appeal of wrestling in mini skirts, but nonetheless The Beautiful People make their way to the ring looking as tawdry as ever with a prop-donning Madison Rayne as their escort. Awesome Kong then enters, still accompanied by Raisha Saeed. As Victoria’s presence is felt, we see the notorious black box attached to her hip, which is only a haunting sign of things to come.
