TNA Watch: Angelina Love Wins Knockout Title at Lockdown
It’s finally here! Videos from Lockdown have finally surfaced and here we go… First up, I’m going to dive right into the match we all want to see. Angelina Love defeating Awesome Kong and Taylor Wilde to become the new Knockout Champion:
LOCKDOWN: TRIPLE THREAT KNOCKOUT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
A very good match, as always from the Knockouts. Tying Kong’s braids to the cage was inspired lol… whoever thought of that, great stuff. It kept her distracted for Angelina to pick up the win. It’s a shame the match had to end the way it did, after Angelina got knocked silly from that crossbody by Taylor. I would have liked a more definitive finish i.e. Angelina hitting her finisher on Taylor for the three count, but I understand they had to rush to the finish because Ang was out of it thus the quick pin after Kong hit the big boot on Taylor. You could tell that she was still out of it in her post-match celebration. It’s a shame, but hey she is Knockout Champion now so all is well.
The Queen of the Cage match is after the cut:

Help Diva Dirt Stop Plagiarism
It has come to our attention that someone has been copying and pasting entire blogs and images from Diva Dirt and passing them off as their own on the popular sports community, Bleacher Report.

Maryse: Living Fire Hazard
I’m always saying how I love originality in photoshoots, but Maryse has taken it a little too outside the box in her new shoot, “A-door-able” *twitch*. Yes, the name is hokey as hell, but that takes a back seat to the choice of scenery – Maryse is parked in front of two double doors, and … Read more

April Showers Bring May Flowers
Spring has sprung, so it’s only natural that the Divas are already donning their bikinis for some beach-themed photoshoots.
