Mandy Leon - Wrestling Women

Model, actress, and dancer and Ring of Honor (ROH) Star Mandy Leon.
Yes Mandy is gorgeous but she's been in the squared circle since 2014.
And she was also a "Rosebud" for Adam Rose in the WWE.

You can follow Mandy on her Instagram account here:

Amber Nova - Global Force Wrestling

This beautiful young lady is female wrestler Amber Nova.
Amber currently works for Global Force Wrestling (Impact Wrestling, TNA Wrestling, etc), but she has also worked for Championship Wrestling Entertainment (CWE) and a few others.
She stands five foot four, weighs 101 pounds and was trained by Chasyn Rance and Aaron Epic.
Amber was born on November 2, 1991, in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and made her wrestling debut in 2016.
It may just be me, but she reminds me a LOT of Trisa Laughlin aka Beulah McGillicutty from ECW.

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.

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.....

Natalya having to protect Eva Marie from Tamina.
That looks hot for some reason and I cant figure out why.
Maybe I need more therapy....

Help Us Gail Kim...You're Our Only Hope!

Well maybe not the "only" hope (there is another...LOL), but Gail Kim is the one constant the TNA Knockout division has.
Her resume is quite impressive....
She's been wrestling for 13 years.
A year after her debut she won the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation Diva of the Year award.
She won the Funkin' Conservatory FC Women's Championship.

She has held the WWE Women's Championship (the real one, not the stupid "Butterfly Belt".
Gail has held the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, the TNA Women's Knockout Championship three times, she was the Knockout of the Year in 2007, and in 2013, she was crowned the "Queen of the Knockouts" after beating Hannah Blossom, Jackie Moore, Lei'D Tapa, Mickie James, Velvet Sky, Miss Tessmacher, ODB and Tara.
And in 2012, Pro Wrestling Illustrated named her #1 on their of the best 50 female singles wrestlers, the PWI Female 50.
After losing Mickie James and Tara...TNA best hold onto Gail.

The TNA Knockouts Roster

   Remember when TNA Knockout matches were like this?



Well they went from what could have been the best female wrestling roster in Pro Wrestling to just hanging on by a thread.
Right now the TNA Knockouts roster is comprised of Brooke, Gail Kim, Lei'D Tapa, the returning Madison Rayne, ODB and Velvet Sky with Taryn Terrell inactive due to maternity leave.
I hope there's a TNA when she comes back.
It really looks kind of bleak.

   Now they are more like this.....

Now if we could have the "Knockout Knockdown" PPV roster as their regular set-up....THEN we would be talking.
Alissa Flash, Ivelisse, Mia Yim, Santana, Trinity, Jackie Moore, Hannah Blossom, Jillian Hall and Serena?
That would make me as Phil Robertson says...."Happy Happy Happy."
But with TNA in the shape it's in now. I don’t hold much hope for that.

TNA-Tara Released

Yep, once again Tara (Lisa Marie Varon) is gone from wrestling.
On Tuesday TNA Tweeted....
"Impact Wrestling has released Tara. We thank Tara for all her contributions and wish her the best of success in the future."

Well there was a rumor that Lisa Marie was thinking about retiring soon. this year maybe.
But that doesn't make me any happier about it.

And I'm wondering if TNA is trying to kill the Knockouts Division ....again...
There are now left with:
Gail Kim
Mickie James
Miss Tessmacher (Inactive)
ODB (Knockouts referee)
Taryn Terrell
Velvet Sky

So you have FIVE women on the roster.
Are they calling up the reserves from OVW or is this just about it?
Maybe they should slap some tights on Brooke and throw her out there....

And what the heck am I gonna do with my Pinterest board now?????

Mickie James To Turn Heel?

On Tuesday, May 7th, 2013, TNA Knockout Mickie James' follow-up to her 2010 debut album "Strangers & Angels", "Somebody’s Gonna Pay" will drop.
And it looks like in celebration of the event, TNA will be turning her Heel.
Maybe.
Mickie addressed the "Heel Turn" in an interview....
"I was glad that Velvet was back; I thought it was awesome. But what was the point in bringing me back in December] if you were just going to bring her back a week later and then I was going to sit at home?"
"I know people question that like ‘Oh are you turning heel?’ And I’m like ‘No, not really. I’m just being honest."
You can see more of that interview here
http://www.tnastars.com/2013/05/05/mickie-james-speaks-lack-of-tv-time-knockouts-more/

Well if she does turn Heel , it looks like it will be an intelligent turn and not some off the cuff event that happens now and then.
She's already laying the groundwork in interviews and it sounds as though it may be a sympathetic turn.
Mickie turning Heel wouldn't bother me in the least as I have made no secret that she was one of my favorite psycho heels of all time in the WWE.
Psycho Mickie and Psycho Tara would be a dream come true for me. 

BTW...you can check out Mickie and all the other TNA Knockouts at the new Knockout site here:

Sarah Stock - TNA's Loss Is Mexico's Gain

You know, I think that leaving TNA must have been good for Sarita aka Dark Angel aka Sarah Stock.
I mean look at her.
She looks to be in the best shape of her life.

Sarah is back in CMLL now..well I say "now" but she was in CMLL and Japan during her seven months of inactivity with Impact Wrestling.

Here she is taking on popular Joshi wrestler Kyoko Kimura in a match from September 17th, 2012....

You can see more about Sarah and other luchadoras here

And you can keep up with Sarah at her Facebook page here

Gail Kim vs Mickie James - TNA Wrestling

This is why I like Gail Kim "The Submission Specialist".
Here she has Mickie James in a headscissors.
Kinda.

Looking at it, I oughta know what this is a variation of...but I cannot for the life of me think of the name.
It's not a full on classic headscissors...but it looks just as effective.

Gail Kim Headscissors Mickie James

Tara - TNA Women's Knockout Champion Again

On October 14 at the TNA PPV Bound for Glory, Tara defeated Miss Tessmacher to win the TNA Women's Knockout Championship for her fifth time.

TNA

This makes her a 5 time TNA Women's Knockout Champion, a one time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion (with Brooke Tessmacher) and a 2 time WWE Women's Champion.
Her fifth reign in TNA ties her with former TNA Knockout Angelina Love who also held the belt five times.

I'm really happy that TNA decided to put the strap around Tara's waist again.
I'll even forgive the "Hollywood boyfriend", Jessie Godderz thing.

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...

WWE Divas Champion Layla on Raw

WWE Divas Champion Layla El and Kelly defeated Natalya and Maxine on Raw last night.
Well actually it was just Layla and Maxine and Layla pinned Maxine in about 1:00.
Kelly never got into the ring and the only thing she did was blindside Natalya outside the ring after Natalya interfered.
Beth Phoenix got to talk junk at the announce table, but she only got like a minute to do it.
Layla will be defending her WWE Divas Championship title against Beth at WWE Over the Limit.
I hope that match lasts longer than a minute.

No you haven't gone to my female MMA blog by mistake.
On the Sherdog.com website there is a video for the "Technique of the Week: Reverse Triangle".
And in the video, one of the ladies doing the demonstration is ex-WWE Diva Angela Fong.
Evidently Angela is now one of the "Crave Girls" or "Sherdog Girls of the MMA"...take your pick.

Happy Birthday April Hunter!

Since her birthday is in a couple of days (September 24th), here is April Hunter.
April has to be one of the (if not the) most popular Indy wrestlers of all time.
She has not only worked the Indy wrestling promotions, but you may recall that she was at one time with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as a member of the nWo girls along with Tylene Buck, Kim Kanner (Shakira), Midajah and Pamela Paulshock.

April isn't just another pretty face (and everything else), she was trained by the late Wladek (Walter) "Killer" Kowalski, one of the great wrestlers and trainers of all time.
And April has wrestled with more Indy promotions than you can shake a stick at including Women's Extreme Wrestling, USA Pro Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, Queens of Chaos and German Stampede Wrestling.


Besides the Indy circuit and WCW, April has appeared on TNA a couple of times, the most recent being on the December 31, 2009, episode of TNA Impact!
She and Lorelei Lee (Wrestlicious' Tyler Texas) tag-teamed against the TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Sarita and Taylor Wilde, but lost.

By the way, April and Knockout Velvet Sky (as Talia Madison) used to tag-team as TnA.



April is now competing in Figure and Fitness competitions and looks amazing.

Female Wrestling News - Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Jenna Morasca and More

www.prowrestling.net is reporting that TNA Knockout Jenna Morasca will not be appearing on TNA programming for at least a few months.
She is currently in Samoa working as a contestant on the upcoming twentieth season of Survivor.
Filming has already started and will last through next month.



Pro Wrestling Illustrated has named Mickie James the number one female wrestler in the second annual PWI Female 50.
The PWI Female 50 ranks the best women's wrestlers in the United States in 2009.
Last years winner was TNA Knockout Awesome Kong.
I've seen this mentioned at several sites, but the first place I saw the news was at Diva Dirt.




I've mentioned a few times about the WWE not using Beth Phoenix recently, and now the Wrestling Observer reports that WWE officials have soured on Beth Phoenix.
As you may recall, Beth went almost a month without appearing on TV, and people were begining to worry about her future with the WWE.
One rumor was that she was "too big" for the WWE's tastes.




The Kurt Angle situation is beginning to sound like a bad Lifetime movie with Kurt, Rhaka Khan, Jeff Jarrett and Karen Angle, restraining orders etc.
And add to that what people have been saying for months about Rhaka being a looney.
Remember the Rhaka Khan/Roxxi incident?
