Impact Write-Up (October 20th, 2011): Champions Rise, Champions Fall, but Gail Kim’s Return Surprises Us All

I could start this TNA Recap in many ways. Possibly banter on about it being Friday like I was Rebecca Black? Or perhaps run to check and see if Miss Karen‘s eyes are healed from her vicious assault at Bound for Glory, or I could just get to the actual recap of this article. I’m … Read more

Impact Write-Up (May 19th, 2011): Keep Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’…

First and foremost, I am very sorry this is late. I’ve had a rough couple of days between a good friend’s father passing away and then “Macho Man” Randy Savage, in a very odd and twisted way, both the exact same way. I have just been an emotional ball of mess. Between worrying about my friend and her family and losing such a huge chunk of what made me fall in love with this business. But, I love you guys so I am going to give it my best shot. Bear with me and hopefully this won’t be as lackluster as I feel.

We start this week out in the ring, with the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions, Sarita and Rosita. They’re taunting Christy Hemme and she is just playing along like nobody’s business. Out next is their tag team partner, Madison Rayne and this looks to be a six Knockout tag team match. Oh boy. SHE’S A KILLER QUEEN! Madison comes out, atrocious fence of a crown on top of her head and looks aggravated, as usual. She stops to wave to her kingdom before making her way down to the ring, grinning to bare it. HARDCORE COUNTRY! Their opponents Tara, Miss Tessmacher and the TNA Knockouts Champion, Mickie James pop out next. Literally if you’re Tessmacher. Mickie flashes that gold strap up to the crowd and Tara just looks like a bouncer from the club down the street. This should be a rather fun loving match-up.

Unwrapped (May 15th, 2011): Kharma, Miss Tessmacher, Natalya, Tamina & Tara


Every week, following WWE.com and TNAWrestling.com’s photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva and Knockout shoots and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on them in a feature we lovingly call Unwrapped. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy, featuring Kharma, Miss Tessmacher, Natalya, Tara and Tamina:


Kharma
How’s this for a spin on the usual Diva photoshoot? Given that Kharma has demonstrated an inability to play well with others, it makes sense that she wouldn’t exactly cooperate for a photoshoot. In these photos, she poses for a few select shots and then, for reasons unknown, attacks the photographer and breaks the camera. Photoshoots usually don’t break the fourth wall like this, but it definitely works with a Diva like Kharma, who as of yet doesn’t seem to want to do much else than inflict pain on anyone who strays within her grasp. Sure, it’s a bit cheesy, but it’s the most entertaining photoshoot I’ve seen in a long time, and it’s damn creative too: they managed to get some posed photos out of Kharma without breaking her bad-tempered character. Every single shot is interesting in its own way, whether she’s gazing creepily off-camera or charging at directly at the camera. It shows that Kharma is more than just a mean-looking Diva–she’s got personality and a definite spark, even though the demonstration of said spark resulted in a “injured” photographer. I love the shoot: it’s so very fitting for her character, and the shots are so memorable.

Miss Tessmacher
Posing in her ring gear, Miss Tessmacher is showing off her outfit and mugging for the camera in various ways. The color of this gear reminds me of one of similar color and texture worn by Kelly Kelly. I’m not sure which one I prefer, though I must say that the rhinestone-covered knee pads are a unique touch. The poses are hardly subtle, with Miss Tessmacher showing off her butt by hanging her jacket just under it, throwing up the rock and roll hand sign, and popping on her eyeglasses for a few shots. There’s just not a lot of consistency–it’s as if she’s just doing whatever comes to mind. Given that this is a shoot meant to show off her ring gear, I don’t really mind–I’m not really paying attention to the nuances of her poses anyways, but it’s a bit silly seen all together. Personally, I much prefer her earlier ring gear shoot, the one with her black attire. It was sexy, but she looked all business, ready to jump in the ring. Here, it’s more like she wanted to tick every box, which results in a disjointed photoshoot.
