Decent show! I really enjoyed it. To start off the show there was a promo addressing the fans that Karen was indeed making her long awaited return on iMPACT! to address Kurt Angle’s speech. A few segments later, The Beautiful People had a promotional video package where both Knockouts discussed how they’re dominant in more ways than just one. Unlike WWE, TNA is pushing for promotions during shows. I really enjoy seeing Knockout promos backstage. Until recently, the WWE Divas have never gotten much air time. I’m glad WWE is starting to change their ways.. perhaps they’ve seen what TNA is putting forth with their Women’s Division? It’s about time, if you ask me.
During the show, Karen Angle had arrived at the arena and Jeremy Borash tried to get a few words. Karen didn’t seem to budge and left Borash’s questions unanswered. After the returning Knockout had left the camera’s view, Raisha Saeed and the TNA Knockout’s Champion, Awesome Kong, emerged into view and handed Borash a letter, stating that Kong would start challenging female fans within the crowd to wrestle her. Immediatley after I saw this happen, I pretty much knew the direction this storyline was heading. It’s obvious that TNA is going to be using female wrestlers from the likes of SHIMMER as they have done in the past; for example, Daizee Haze.
The Knockout’s match for tonight was O.D.B against Angelina Love with Velvet Sky at ringside. The match was fair.. although I preferred the promotional packages more so than the match itself. Angelina took the win due to an illegal interference by Sky at ringside. Wow, say what? Everyone saw it coming. TNA is obviously trying to promote this stable – I want to know why to be honest… not a big fan. However, before the match had even taken place, O.D.B was interviewed about the new stable between Angelina and Velvet. The Knockout stated that she hated big breasted and beach blonde women. As the conversation continued, O.D.B stated that her breasts we’re real, and Crystal challenged that statement – ending with the backstage interviewer’s hands forecully attatched to O.D.B’s chest. I was wide-eyed right at that moment. It kind of also looked like Crystal enjoyed it.. she couldn’t stop smiling – I mean, O.D.B DOES have huge jugs!
