TNA Impact Wrestling Results - Madison Rayne vs. Angelina Love

On TNA Impact Wrestling this week we got Madison Rayne vs. Angelina Love.
Really this was a brawl more than a wrestling match...but we thought it would be didn't we?
Lots of forearms, elbows, punches, kicks, while Velvet Sky watched from outside.

Angelina got dropkicked out of the ring and she argues with Velvet evidently for not helping her.
Then Madison nails Angelina with a baseball slide.
She starts wailing on Angelina, the ref pulls her off, she says something to Velvet and while the ref is helping Angelina back into the ring, Velvet nails Madison with a DDT.

Velvet rolls Madison back into the ring and Angelina gets the pin. 

And then of course the newly reformed Beautiful People celebrate in the ring.

One of the perks of being a TNA Knockout is that once a year you get to fight in a cage, unlike the WWE Divas.
Well I guess it's a perk....right?

Madison Rayne Is Back In TNA And Better Than Ever

Yes "The Queen Bee" is back in TNA and I think she may look better than ever.
After taking some time off to do fitness competitions and have a baby, she is back in the ring in TNA.

She came back on December 12th and immediately got in the faces of her former partner (and current the Knockouts Champion) Gail Kim and her bodyguard Lei'D Tapa.
Think AJ and Tamina in WWE.
Madison got back in the ring officially on December 19th, teaming with ODB to defeat Lei'D Tapa and Gail Kim, pinning Gail in the process.

Then on January 2nd, she took Gail on in the open challenge match, beating her and getting a shot at the TNA Women's Knockout Championship.
I for one am happy to see her back.
She's a welcome addition to the TNA Knockout roster.

The Impact Wrestling Knockouts Roster

I haven't done a rundown of the female TNA wrestlers, the TNA Knockouts, roster in awhile so here is the up to date listing....

The current TNA Knockout Roster:
Mickie James (The current TNA Knockouts Champion)
Gail Kim
The Blossom Twins (Hannah Blossom and Holly Blossom)
Lei'D Tapa
Madison Rayne (Maternity leave)
Miss Tessmacher (Hasn't appeared in over 30 days)
ODB
Taeler Hendrix
Tara
Taryn Terrell
Velvet Sky

And if you add in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in (as I always do with the WWE and NXT) you can add:
Trina Thompson (The current OVW Women's Champion)
Epiphany
Heidi Lovelace
Jessie Belle
Josette Bynum
Lovely Lylah   
Nikki St. John

I am really wondering why you are not hearing more about the incredible Trina Thompson.
If I were TNA, this lady would be headed for the "Big Leagues" with the other TNA Superstars post-haste

Velvet Sky - TNA Knockout Jobber?

I'm beginning to think that TNA has turned Velvet Sky into the ultimate Jobber.
Not that she's a bad wrestler in any way, I mean she started out at the House of Pain Pro Wrestling Dojo back around 2003.
And she has been with TNA since 2007.
But in her five years with the company, and despite how incredibly popular she is, she has held the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship once and the TNA Women's Knockout Championship once.
Gail Kim has held it twice, Angelina Love has held it five times, Tara has held it four times, ODB three times, Madison Rayne three times, Mickie James twice and Winter twice.
Does Vel just not want the title?
Or do the writers just not want to give it to her for any length of time?
She only held it 28 days and lost it to...surprise..Gail Kim...

Wrestling News and Rumors, Velvet Sky, Trish Stratus and More.....

Today's edition has lot's of female wrestling news and rumors, including Velvet Sky and her bikini, Info on the Final Resolution TNA PPV, Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus having a birthday, a couple of wrestling results and of course, some female wrestling pics.

First up, a belated Happy Birthday to former WWE Diva and WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus, who turned 34 on December 18th.

I mentioned another former WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro hinting at a possible return to the ring on one of my other blogs....

Well the rumors continue (fueled by Ashley on her Twitter account) and we can add these tidbits....
"Thanks for asking my tattos are all good now and healed yay! And to answer ur ques i do plan on comin back to the ring...after traininwoohoo"
"watchin tna this evening aswell..."
"I'd love to host Raw one day, you never know? Always been fond of hosting, as long as I can be mysel.you guys know me, so i thinkyanowhatimn"
I said before I think she would be a perfect fit at TNA.....

Since Lauren Brooke is leaving TNA, Christy Hemme may be taking over as the backstage interviewer.

At the TNA PPV Final Resolution, ODB will be taking on Tara for the TNA Knockouts Championship.

And speaking of Tara, she is currently pitching a reality show featuring herself, spotlighting her attempt to cross over from pro wrestling to mixed martial arts.

And speaking of ODB, she was beaten on TNA Impact! by the returning Nicole Raczynski, better known as just Roxxi.

Another TNA Knockout Madison Rayne, has a Wish List up on Amazon.com.
You can check out the list here.


And finally, TNA Knockout Velvet Sky auctioned off the bikini that she wore on the Victory Road TNA PPV DVD cover.
The bikini finally went for $830.00 on e-Bay.
Pretty impressive.

TNA's No Surrender Tonight - The Knockouts

On TNA's No Surrender PPV Tonight there will be two Knockout matches.

Well kinda.

First, ODB will be taking on Cody Deaner in a match for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
::sigh::
TNA, please don't let me down and further disrespect ODB.
Don't turn the TNA Knockouts Championship into a farce.
In case you hadn't guessed, I am one of the people not amused with the Cody Deaner antics.
I would hate to see TNA turn the widely praised and well regarded Knockouts division into a sideshow.

The second bout is The Beautiful People (Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne) going up against Taylor Wilde and Sarita.
See?
I praised you for bringing in the Womens Tag Team titles.
I'm gonna have to go with Taylor Wilde and Sarita for the win, and that would allow TNA to rebuild The Beautiful People's rep.

Speaking of The Beautiful People, I reported on my other blog that Angelina Love would be wrestling Brooke Carter at the Live Pro Wrestling event on Sunday, October 25th.
This isn't gonna happen.
Instead, TNA Knockout Velvet Sky will be stepping in to replace Angelina.

TNA Signs Madison Rayne and Sarah Stock

TNA has always seemed to take their women's wrestling division more seriously than the WWE.
While the WWE will sign up models and people with little or no wrestling background, TNA seems to go to the ranks of the Indy promotions to get their talent.
Their latest two sign ups to the TNA roster are no different.


Madison Rayne made her pro wrestling debut in 2006 and has worked for World Xtreme Wrestling, Ohio Championship Wrestling, Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling, SHIMMER Women Athletes, Insanity Pro Wrestling and Big Time Wrestling among others.
Shes also held the OCW Women's Championship twice and currently holds one half of the Shimmer Tag Team Championship along with her partner Nevaeh.


TNA's other recent acquisition is CMLL's Canadian Luchadora Sarah Stock or Dark Angel. I have done tons of write ups on Sarah on my Luchadora blogs so there's not a lot I can add here.
But I cannot wait until Sarah steps into the TNA octagon to see how she does there.
