In her first match back after several years of self-imposed wrestling exile, Chyna proved to be a comeback queen tonight at TNA’s Sacrifice pay per view.
Chyna, teaming with Kurt Angle, was victorious in her in-ring return over Karen and Jeff Jarrett.
Perhaps the most popular person in the Impact Zone during the entire PPV, fans chanted to see Chyna step into the ring, giving the one-time 9th Wonder of the World a huge ovation.
Going into tonight’s Sacrifice pay per view, Tara had a choice — her allegiance with Madison Rayne or her freedom courtesy of Mickie James. She went for the latter. Helping Mickie win her Knockouts Championship match at the pay per view, Tara clocked Rayne with a punch with the self-professed Queen’s own loaded glove. The … Read more
Tonight at TNA’s Sacrifice PPV, Chyna returns to the ring teaming with Kurt Angle to take on Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett. Plus, Madison Rayne vs Mickie James one more time for the Knockouts Championship. If Madison loses, Tara is free! Watch the PPV live from 8pm ET. Discuss the show in the comments!
The Diva Dirt team weigh in on tonight’s Sacrifice pay per view:
Chyna & Kurt Angle vs Karen & Jeff Jarrett
Cryssi: I don’t expect Karen Jarrett to actually get in the ring. So we’ll either see Chyna/Kurt Angle versus Jeff Jarrett in a handicap match, or the more likely scenario of Kurt Angle versus Jeff Jarrett part whatever it is. So this will be a no-contest for the ladies. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. =)
TNA has released a string of video packages tying into its new tagline for Impact, ‘Wrestling Matters’. Mickie is one of the stars discussing why wrestling matters in this clip:
TNA released the following video promoting Chyna’s in-ring return at this Sunday’s Sacrifice pay per view.

Hello, my lovelies! It is TNA’s time of the month again..har har. It has finally come down to Lockdown! For months, we have seen these two women battle back and forth, one being tormented for everything she stands for while the other uses her power as champion to run rampant. It is finally, and you will hear me say that a lot, FINALLY, time to settle the score between these two. Since the day she debuted, Mickie James has had her eye on Knockouts gold. In a Hair vs Title Match, locked in a steel cage, we are finally going to find out if Mickie has what it takes to become a triple crown champion. If you didn’t watch, I urge you to check it out now because you don’t want to miss it. No, seriously, don’t blink because you just might. Onward!
We first see our Knockouts backstage, where Christy Hemme states that she is personally rooting for Mickie James to win this bout against Madison Rayne. Speak of the devil, she walks up behind Christy and taps her on the shoulder, calling her Big Red. Tara is with her, not looking at all happy with her current position. Madison, wielding scissors, has an atrocious crown on her head and she tells Christy that her rooting isn’t going to help Mickie win the match. Christy counters with a question, asking Madison how it feels to know that tonight could be the last night she wears that belt. “What internet site did you read that on?” I’m gonna go with Diva Dirt, because we are all rooting for Mickie tonight. Ahem.
Tonight at TNA’s Lockdown pay-per-view, Mickie James defeated Madison Rayne with a Mickie-DT to become the new Knockouts Champion in less than a minute. This marks the first time Mickie has held a TNA championship and makes her the first woman to hold the Women’s, Divas and Knockouts championships. Congratulations to Mickie!
Mickie James puts her hair on the line live tonight against Madison Rayne in a ‘Hair vs Title’ steel cage match. Watch the show live on pay per view from 8pm ET. Discuss the show in the comments!
Could Tara be secretly in cahoots with Mickie James at TNA’s Lockdown PPV tonight? TNA just posted backstage video featuring Tara trying to get a word in private with the challenger, before being berated by the Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne. The video can be seen here. So what do you think this could mean for … Read more
The Diva Dirt team weigh in on tonight’s Lockdown pay per view:
April: To say that this feud between Mickie and Madison has gone on for a lifetime seems like an understatement. It finally came down to Madison running Mickie over for her to finally get some serious kick behind her anger, pushing things into overdrive. For this bout, I’m going to have to choose Mickie James for the win. I think it is time for her to finally get one over on Madison Rayne and take home the gold. Madison is a tremendous heel and has held that title for long enough. It needs a fresh resting place, like I’ve been saying for weeks on end. I think this time, Mickie has finally had it and I can see her really giving her all when it comes to this cage match. I am always a fan of women wrestlers taking on matches they wouldn’t normally be considered to compete in so Lockdown can definitely change things up. It’s Mickie’s time to be Knockouts Champion..let’s just hope she gets to keep her hair along with it.
Mickie James will make the biggest gamble of her TNA career next month by putting her hair on the line in a bid for the Knockouts Championship. James will once again challenge Madison Rayne for the belt inside a steel cage at Lockdown, but if she loses, she’ll have her hair cut off. The stakes … Read more
If only the road to victory were always paved with gold. This past Thursday on Impact, we saw a six way match between The Beautiful People, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky teaming up with Winter to take on Cookie, Sarita and Angelina Pivarnick of the Jersey Shore. Yeah. That’s what I said..however, thankfully, TBP and Winter survived and now, the real Angelina and Winter must team up to defend their coveted TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships. Who are their opponents, you ask? Well, only the Loco Latinas, Sarita and Rosita of course! I know you’re ready for this and I can say that I’m ready for this. So let’s do this!
The Knockouts action for the evening begins with a backstage segment with The Beautiful People and Winter, interviewed by Christy Hemme. The resident backstage redhead congratulates Velvet Sky on her win over Sarita and maintaining her spot with the company. She also points out that what seems the most surprising is not that win but the fact that Winter actually defended Velvet this past Thursday on Impact. Winter states that her actions last week proved that all she has ever wanted is for all of them to have friends. She says she doesn’t have an issue with Velvet but Velvet has an issue with her. She is just glad that Angelina has finally seen it all too. She is totally jealous of those leggings you’re rocking, Winter. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Velvet can’t believe it but given how Angelina just walked away, I’m wondering if she’s starting to as well… (Apologies for the lack of video).
Sarita and cousin Rosita emerged as the new Knockouts Tag Team Champions tonight at TNA’s Victory Road pay per view. The finish came following a clunky series of events. First Sarita brought one of the belts into the ring to clock Winter only to be attacked by Angelina. That led to a catfight between the … Read more
TNA presents Victory Road live on pay per view tonight! Who will win the Knockouts Tag Team Championship match between Angelina Love and Winter versus Sarita and Rosita? Tune in from 8pm ET. Discuss the show in the comments!
TNA released the following footage going into tonight’s PPV:
The Diva Dirt team weigh in on tonight’s Knockouts Tag Team Championship match.
Cryssi: Is Velvet Sky still involved with Sarita? Does she still hate Winter? If the answer is “yes” to either or both questions then expect Vel Vel to inadvertently cost Angelina and Winter the match tonight. Sarita & Rosita will emerge as the new TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions.

As well as the Femmes Fatales show in Montreal, a few other female wrestling tidbits of note:
Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick made another appearance for TNA tonight at the company’s house show in Rahway, New Jersey.
She, along with Cookie, escorted Robbie E to the ring for his triple threat match with Kazarian and Shannon Moore.
In a pre-match exchange on the microphone, Kazarian blasted Cookie and Angelina calling referring to them as byproducts of when a midget and a garden gnome have sex. Full report from that match here.
Pivarnick is currently training in Jersey at the Independent Wrestling Federation.
The Knockouts Tag Team Championships will make a rare appearance on pay per view this Sunday. TNA has announced that champions, Angelina Love and Winter, will defend the belts against Sarita and Rosita at Victory Road. The pay per view airs this Sunday.
March 1st is here and so kicks off what we have dubbed ‘Women’s Wrestling Season’. Rather coincidentally, the next couple of months will feature a slew of female wrestling promotions returning to action — or as the case may be, debuting. Throw in WrestleMania as well, and the two months ahead are looking rather busy!
It all kicks off this weekend when WSU presents it’s fourth anniversary show live on Internet pay per view. Then, throughout the month we will also see SHIMMER, NCW Femmes Fatales and the debut of Allison Danger’s Pro Wrestling SUN.
April will see a two night return for Europe’s Pro-Wrestling: EVE. And lest we forget ‘Mania?
A complete guide after the jump!
TNA has released a pretty cool preview video hyping up next week’s Sarita vs Velvet Sky match which will see the latter put her career on the line. If she loses, she’s gone from TNA. Watch below: Thoughts: Rarely do we see promo packages like this for the Knockouts so I like that they’re promoting … Read more
