Brooke Has Returned to TNA

Yes Brooke Adams aka Brooke aka Brooke Tessmacher aka Miss Tessmacher has returned to TNA.
As you may know, she gave birth to a boy named Jace on September 3, 2016, but she's back wrestling now.
Brooke returned on January 7, 2017, during the taping of the January 19 episode of Impact Wrestling, and defeated Deonna Purrazzo.
After the match, she was attacked by Sienna and on the January 8, 2017 television taping, Brooke had a 1-on-1 match with Sienna which she lost.

TNA Knockout Jade - Mia Yim

Yeah I know that I keep saying that I am not gonna write anymore about TNA.
Heck, I don't even have a way to watch the show since it is nowhere on my cable.
But while I am waiting for the clock to run out on TNA, I wanted to at least acknowledge the fact that Stephanie Bell aka Mia Yim aka Jade, is the TNA Women's Knockout Champion.
She deserves it.
True I would rather see the WWE Women's Title around her waist but still.
Mia has been wrestling since 2009 and has a lot of fans out there.
I wish her luck.

TNA Knockout Rebel is Back

TNA Knockout Rebel (Tanea Brooks) made her return to Impact Wrestling om May 15th.
Yeah I know it took me a while.
But anyway she is back.
Rebel and Brooke took on the Dollhouse in a less than stellar match-up.
"Less than stellar" as in they lost.
By the way, Josh did mention during the match that the rest of the Menagerie returned to circus life, tying up that loose end.

The Dollhouse - TNA Wrestling

I don't know how much longer I'm gonna have TNA to kick around, so I better get this in fast.
Personally, I like "The Dollhouse".
Yeah it's kinda weird, but you get two great Indy wrestlers, Marti Belle and Jade (Mia Yim) in the ring.
I know Taryn Terrell is in it too and I stand by my original claims that a lot like Kelly Kelly in WWE, Taryn is getting better all the time.
Just look at her matches with Gail Kim.
So here is The Dollhouse.
You know there was a TV show on Fox called "Dollhouse" that got cancelled.
I hope this Dollhouse doesn't share the same fate.

TNA Knockouts Knockdown 2

Although it was actually held on May 10, 2014 in the Impact Wrestling Zone in Orlando, Florida, TNA Knockouts Knockdown 2 finally aired as a PPV on November 7, 2014.
Talk about a tape delay.

Marti Belle

You had the regular TNA Knockouts Gail Kim, Angelina Love, Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky, Taryn Terrell, Brittany, Brooke Tessmacher and ODB.
And Rockstar Spud.
Seriously?
You gotta get one guy in there dont you?
Geez!

Veda Scott

Anyway, against them were some of the best female Indy wrestlers in the world.
Veda Scott, Scarlett Bordeaux, Jessicka Havok, Reby Sky, Karlee Perez (former WWE Diva Maxine), Mia Yim, Deonna (Deonna Purrazzo) and Marti Belle.

Mia Yim

And since this was from way back in May, Havok had not yet made her TNA "debut".

SPOILERS (If you havent seen it yet)
Reby Sky, Marti Belle and Mia Yim defeated their Knockouts.
But the rest lost.
And Madison Rayne won the Knockouts Gauntlet match to become the "Queen of the Knockouts".

Reby Sky

One Night Only: Knockouts Knockdown Premiering November 7th on Pay-Per-View

TNA Knockout Havok Before TNA

You know that TNA Knockout Havok wrestled long before she showed up in TNA.
Yes, before she was tha apocalyptic warrior Havok, she was Jessicka Havok.

She was born Jessica Cricks on June 20th, 1986 in Massillon, Ohio.
Jessicka was trained by Shasta, Justin Diaz and Lones Oaks, and had her pro wrestling debut in 2004.
Yep, she has been wrestling for 10 years.

In that time she worked for Absolute Intense Wrestling, Main Event World League, Ring Divas, Women Superstars Uncensored, Combat Zone Wrestling and many other Indy wrestling promotions.
And at six feet tall, 170 pounds, she was quite a competitor.

Havok Is the New TNA Knockouts Champion

On TNA Impact on October 1st, 2014 Havok defeated Gail Kim for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
Well unless you were living under a rock you already knew that.
It was on Wikipedia like three weeks ago.
Anyway, it was a match that made most WWE Diva matches look like amateur hour.
Or Amateur 2 minutes in the Divas case.

Gail Kim in FLEX Magazine

Well I guess this evens things out.
WWE Diva Eva Marie did a shoot for Iron Man magazine, so TNA Knockout Gail Kim did one for FLEX.
I guess that balances out.
Except for the fact that Gail can wrestle circles around Eva.
With one hand tied behind her back.
Blindfolded.

TNA Knockout Battle Royal - Havok Dominates

Here is Havok at the battle royal to determine the number one contender to Gail Kim's championship.
Yes she dominated and destroyed everyone.

Madison Rayne tried.

Brittany tried.

Rebel tried.

Velvet Sky tried.

Now she gets to face Gail Kim for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
(Yes I know, for the love of God it's even on Wikipedia but I'm not spoiling anything here)

Havok in TNA

Jessicka Havok (whose career I have followed for quite a while) has shown up in TNA as Havok.
I really hope that they don't pull an Alpha Female and just use her for a few shows.
Jessicka is a welcome addition.
Here she is demolishing Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell.

TNA Knockouts - Jessicka Havok!

TNA Knockout Rebel

Well since there is not a lot going on in TNA at the moment...nothing that is really getting my interest at least, here are a couple more pictures of TNA Knockout Rebel.
Rebel (Tanea Brooks) doesn't seem to be doing a lot as of yet, but everyone seems to like her.
So here she is....

TNA Knockouts - Brittany Turns on Madison

Of course we all saw this coming...Brittany turned on Madison Rayne.
Especially if you watched the WWE long ago and remember Trish and Mickie James.
I really wish Brittany would let her hair go back to black and leave the bad dye jobs to Cameron.

Brooke Adams - TNA Wrestling

You know I wanted to do an entry on TNA Knockout Brooke wrestling in TNA like I am doing with the WWE Divas at the other blog.
But...it's kinda hard to find pictures of Brooke actually wrestling.
There are TONS of her just standing there looking incredibly hot.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
But the woman has been one half of the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions and the TNA Women's Knockout Championship twice.
It looks like there would be more of her in action in the ring.....

Gail Kim Punishing Brittany on TNA

Yeah I know the match was Brittany vs Gail Kim vs Madison Rayne, but these are the two I think should be feuding.
The "Submission Specialist" Gail Kim and the up and coming Brittany.
If they wont have them as a tag team....do this....

Remember that good idea they had long ago where Tara and Brooke feuded...student vs teacher?
It didn't last long but it should have.
I think Gail vs Brittany would be a whole lot better than rehashing The Beautiful people for the millionth time.

Once again I delve into the TNA Knockout division, such as it is. This match was for the Number One Contender slot to see just who will face the TNA Knockout Champion Angelina Love Sunday at Slammiversary. Most of the match was Brittany and Madison against Gail. That went on until the Beautiful People came out and sat down at the announce table with Mike Tenay and Tazz. After that, with Angelina and Velvet jabbering constantly it was hard to even keep the sound on. But the match continued. At one point, Angelina distracted the ref and Velvet went to spray hairspray in Gail's eyes. But she missed and hit Brittany. One "Eat Defeat" later and Gail is the number one contender.

Gail going up against Angelina is good. In reality, Gail could beat Angelina with one arm tied behind her back. But this is wrestling and you know that Velvet will interfere and Angelina will keep the belt.

The sad thing is that it would have been nice had Brittany won. The young lady that is Brittany, Santana Garrett, deserves a push. On June 3rd of 2013, Santana got the "Future Legend Award" from the Cauliflower Alley Club. That award is not handed out lightly, and she is only the third woman to win that award since they started giving out awards in 1992.

Rebel - TNA Knockouts

The newest TNA Knockout is "Rebel" from The Menagerie.
Rebel is really a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, Tanea Brooks.
Tanea is a longtime friend of current TNA Knockout Christy Hemme.
They were both in the dance group "Purrfect Angelz" before Christy started wrestling.

Tanea appeared on the Full Throttle Saloon TV series and in the Trace Adkins' "Honkey Tonk Badonkadonk" and in the Brooks and Dunn "Play Something County" music videos.

She has been training with Ohio Valley Wrestling but I'm guessing that her character Rebel will be more of a manager/valet.
And in case you didn't notice, she is kinda flexible...

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.
