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.

Female Wrestling - WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Updates

As I noted on my other blog, former WWE Diva Trish Stratus will be guest hosting WWE Monday Night Raw Toronto in a couple of weeks.
BTW, Trish and Stacy Keibler are both on the cover of "J. R.'s Cookbook : True Ringside Tales, BBQ, and Down-Home Recipies"
You can get it through the online store at JR's blog.

It looks like Playboy has decided to dump Traci Brooks cover shot.
Her photos will be released online to members.
I wonder how this will affect their future relations with TNA?
Probably badly because now Playboy wants to distance itself from pro wrestling.

This week on WWE SmackDown!, Layla and Natalya will be taking on Maria and Eve.

Okay TNA, for the last time....Cody Deaner is a MALE wrestler.
Get him out of the female division.
He should not be wrestling Tara or Alissa Flash.
I appreciate that you give the Knockouts WAY more air time than WWE gives the Divas, I really do.
Now just do this one thing for me okay?

AJ Styles, TNA Knockouts The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky) and Taylor Wilde will be appearing on MTV's "Made" this Sunday.

And speaking of the Beautiful People, you can watch a tag team match between Hamada and Sarita (my TNA dream team) and Angelina Love and Velvet Sky that took place at TNA's live event at the San Angelo Coliseum in San Antonio on YouTube.
It's a really good quality video.

Angelina Love Updates

The new TNA Knockouts Champion, Angelina Love, suffered her third concussion at the hands (or rather the hips) of Taylor Wilde at the Lockdown pay-per-view .
Well it wasnt the third by Taylor, but this is the third concussion Love has suffered since joining TNA in October of 2007.
You can read more about it on Angelina's MySpace blog here
http://www.myspace.com/angel_williams14

This kinda worries me because I have followed Angelina's career since she was wrestling as Angel Williams.
(Remember the incredibly toned abs and corn rows?)
Angelina has been wrestling since 2000, that's a pretty decent career length in female wrestling these days.

Concussions are serious business in pro wrestling.
Just ask former WWE superstar Chris Nowinski. He's devoted a great deal of time studing concussions and their affects of atheletes, especially pro wrestlers.
Chris suffered at least six in his career.

I hope Angelina does well after this incident.
And even though I want to see this talented young lady in the squared circle (or octagon), I hope she remembers that nothing takes the place of her health.

More WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Updates

Last nights women's wrestling match on WWE Raw really wasn't a match.
Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall were supposed to wrestle Kelly Kelly and Melina.
Beth and Jillian were already in the ring waiting and Kelly came out followed by Melina.
Then suddenly Rosa Mendez, who was posing as one of the photographers, jumped Melina and knocked her down.
See I told you that ban wouldn't work...LOL
Security grabs Rosa and hauls her off and Kelly goes to check on Melina at which time the heels decide it's a good time to attack.
So they do and pretty much decimate Kelly and Melina.
Thus the match is ruled No Contest.

Now....who can see a three woman tag team match in the distance?



Over at TNA, Roxxi, Taylor Wilde and ODB will be facing The Kongtourage on TNA iMPACT!

Also over at TNA, Christy Hemme and Awesome Kong may be out a bit as Christy is having trouble with discs in her neck, and Kong has a back injury.
Christy may be looking at surgery.

Rhaka Khan's Birthday!

First off, besides being Christmas, yesterday was TNA Knockouts Rhaka Khan (Trenesha Biggers) Birthday!
So Happy Birthday Rhaka!

And two, I may have spoken too soon about TNA not subjecting their female wrestlers to gimmick matches like the WWE does.....
A "Santa's Workshop Knockout Street Fight"?
Really, these ladies are talented enough to have good solid matches without all this.
I know it's the Holidays.
And yes I do have a problem with the " Halloween Costume Contests" so it's not just Christmas.
Anyway, ODB, Christy Hemme, Roxxi and Taylor Wilde won and we don't have to dread anything like this again till maybe February.
I cringe thinking about a "Valentines Day Sweethearts Match".

Quick WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Info.....

Quick WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Info.....

WWE Diva Brie Bella is currently dating former Poison guitarist Richie Kotzen.

In case you hadn't heard, Lena Yada is now a former WWE Diva. She said she was released because of budget cuts and an injury she received during training.
Some people are saying it's because she looks too much like returning WWE Diva Gail Kim, but I don't by that.

Francine Fournier, former ECW and WWE valet is pregnant.

TNA Knockout Taylor Wilde will be at TCI Sports Fan in Dayton, Ohio on Thursday, December 4, from 5:00PM-7:00 PM.

TNA Knockout Angelina Love will be at the NE Sports Cards Show in Woburn, Massachusetts on Sunday, December 14 from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM.

Taylor Wilde versus Velvet Sky

Taylor Wilde defeated Velvet Sky by disqualification last night, retaining the TNA Knockout Title.
Of course after this, The Beautiful People jumped Taylor, till ODB and Gail Kim ran in for the save.
Watching this made me realize something...
Several years ago, when the WWE was having such trouble with their Diva division, I thought " Why dont they just get some of the hard working Indy ladies and use them?"
TNA pretty much did that.
As I have said before, these ladies work like the wrestlers of the 60's and 70's, some working full time jobs, getting off work and hitting the road to make that nights show. You have to LOVE wrestling to do that.
