KO's Tag Titles

[IHW]

So.... yeah. Those things still exist.

The only time I have seen the titles in the past month or so is when ODB holds it while calling EY. So, apparently they are still the champs.

How pointless are the straps? How ridiculous are they? At first I thought they weren't to bad. Woman's wrestling in TNA has always been phenomenal, and these could only help. I was wrong. The Knockouts division is at its lowest point it has been in years, and these title are no longer needed. Especially if EY and ODB are the only reasonable team they can come up with.

So TNA, If you are going to get rid of a belt, make it the KO Tag Team Titles.

 

[Piss Bucket]

TNA has its faults, but they do a much better women's divsion than WWE has done for years IMO, and they have the HOT Mickie James and Tara, both of whom are former WWE Divas, but they are smokin'!

As for the KO Tag strap, don'tget rid of it, IMO it's one of the things that ses them apart from WWE, that they actually use their women's mathes as something other thn toilet breaks cos men don't care.

 

[ItzThatGuyShane]

I agree 100% that these titles need to go. There is just no reason to have them, the only time they were ever had a place in TNA was when The Beautiful People were there and there was a couple of other teams in the KO division floating around.
I actually can't believe they are contemplating getting rid of the TV title before getting rid of the KO Tag Team titles. Say what you want about the TV Title, but it deserves a place as a secondary title provided it was used right and put on the right people.

 

[Cereal Killer]

100% agree. As mentioned in the thread about the TV title yesterday, they have hardly been defended in their 3 yr stint. The KO division isn't big enough for tag titles. So pointless.

Keep the TV title, stick it on Hardy or RVD, GET RID OF THESE WORTHLESS KO TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS.

 

[TellMeWhy]

I don't understand wrestling fan logic. "Oh the belts haven't been defended, so let's get rid of it". What? All they have to do is feature the title a bit more and book it better. The TNA Kos are supposedly the leaders of women wrestling and pride themselves on setting a high standard for women's wrestling, so why get rid of your tag team titles. That's going backwards. The belt doesn't have to be defended every other week but all they have to do is put more stock into it. The TNA Knockouts are talented enough to have 2 separate belts for their KO division. Not everyone has to be a single competitor chasing after the KO title. Make some teams, bring in some teams, and create some women competition within the KO tag team ranks. If TNA would get their head out of their ass, they could do this successfully. This is part of why I hate the Divas division. It's one title and nothing else for the ladies to do. A women's tag team titles option are not a bad option. So no don't get rid of it. Just make some adjustments.

No need to retire the belts. Just treat them the way TNA treats the Pope. Just forget about them until a time when they cannot think of anything else to do. No official retirement is needed or desirable. Just stop mentioning them. Bring them out as needed.

 

[HBsam31]

I don't even think the division is big enough anymore for the belt. I thought it was cool at first when the Knockouts Division was really strong, but now we don't even see the belts on TV. Eric Young is one half of the Knockouts Champions, that say quite a lot right there on what is thought of those belts.

 

[JJYanks121]

There are ten (if you include Taeler Hendrix) female wrestlers in TNA. I'm sorry, but 10 is barely enough for one title, let alone two where at minimum, 4 people have to be feuding over 1. It's not like the belts were ever used to elevate anyone (outside of something else for the Beautiful People to have) so it's not like there's prestige to give up. The belts are meaningless and they don't have value to helping the female wrestlers.

On top of that, it's not like female wrestling has "divisions" where you have to move up like mens' wrestling. The one title is fine. Stick with that. I'd sooner just have EY and ODB just start coming out without them and just forget those things ever existed.

 

[SRSB]

Both the TV and KO tag team titles are irrelevant. I think the TV title can at least be used as a second tier title (I'm aware the X Division title is that, but I'm referring to be used more for the non-X Division wrestlers).

The problem with the KO tag titles is that there aren't enough women wrestlers in the company. One question is how much time and focus will TNA actually put on both titles? Featuring two KO titles with a limited KO roster seems rough, and proven since TNA hasn't done too much with the tag titles. If they wanted to, they could dig in women wrestling promotions and possibly get the Canadian Ninjas, Regeneration X, Made In Sin, Ray & Leon, etc for tag teams, but doubt that would happen. In all-women promotions, they do have their own World Title and Tag Team titles, but that's because of the size of the rosters. TNA, they're going to be limited.

Wouldn't mind if they got rid of both the TV and KO tag team titles. TV title seems to make more sense to keep, though.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

The KO tag-team titles are worthless and have been ever since Young and ODB became champions. First of all its a male holding a female title, which is ridiculous anyway and secondlt because there are no other female tag-teams to defend against. With such a small KO division right now- 10 competitors I think, there is no point having a tag-team belt because almost half the division will be involved in any feud. It is pointless.

If TNA are seriously considering dropping the TV title, then they need to wake up and realise that that belt has alot of potential to help create stars and is a great mid-card championship.

The KO tag-team titles are just useless. Get rid of them!

 

[Jack-Hammer]

The Knockout tag titles, as others have said, are quite worthless. If you want to be totally honest about it, they've always been worthless. They exist for the simple fact of merely giving someone a championship to carry around. At the height, and I use that term very loosely, of the existence of the titles, the only consistent tag team that I really recall seeing were Velvet Sky & Angelina Love. Even then, they mostly just carried the titles around. Sure, they'd wrestle against a few women that would team together once or maybe twice before they moved on. Even then, those matches were fairly rare. Even women that could've made solidified teams, like Sarita & Rosita, usually only wrestled as a tag team every once in a while and just carried the titles around. Same thing with Tessmacher & Tara.

The fact that Eric Young, a male wrestler, is one half of a women's tag team champions shows just how unimportant TNA considers the titles to be. Eric Young is someone that's got some actual talent, I think he showed that especially during his days as head of the World Elite faction. He can deliver a solid promo and he can deliver inside the ring. Like Santino's comedy schtick in WWE, they've long since gone as far with Young's in TNA.

Sure TNA could always put effort back into the Knockout tag titles. Let's be honest though, how likely is that to really happen? The men's tag team division, which was probably TNA's crowning jewel at one point, is now every bit as weak as the WWE's has ever been. The only teams in TNA I'm really aware of are Daniels & Kazarian and Chavo & Hernandez, and we haven't seen them in several weeks. Sure, TNA could put renewed emphasis on the tag team scene and probably will at some point down the line. That's not likely to happen with the Knockout tag titles, which have been almost completely irrelevant since day one.

If TNA is considering discontinuing a title, I just feel it should be this one.

 

[Pimpin]

Those belts have been worthless pretty much throughout it's entire existence. Only time I was really intrigued by them was when Sarita and Taylor Wilde were the champions. It's basically the consensus of the entire thread. It's nothing more than to just give somebody a belt to carry around. Not only that, but today there just isn't the appropriate amount of Knockouts to justify having the KO Tag titles around. They barely have enough to fill up the singles division.

If TNA is seriously considering getting rid of a belt, I vote the Knockouts Tag Team titles because as much as the TV title hasn't really much the last few years, at least recently it has had some worth and it has more potential to be a viable title than the KO Tag titles.

You are the only one who has said keep them. You're wrong. And would the bold be Jeff's ass, or Dixie's? Probably Hogan and Bitchoff, right?

Getting rid of these titles is not taking a step back. Its a step forward, in the right direction. There is not enough people in this division to keep the belts.

I'm surprised you didn't say keep them and throw 'em both on Tara.

 

[Ovaltine]

Until TNA gets another show and a MUCH larger woman's division they should retire them. The fact that they are debating getting rid of the much needed TV title and in favor of keeping the KO's tag belts is insane!

 

[Sharky]

I bought a foam championship belt at a WWF house show back in '88. I wore it so much during my "Living Room Championship Wrestling" show, live every day at my house, that the velcro on the back wore off. I had to use duct tape from then on to keep it around my waist. It's probably somewhere in the attic of my mom's house.

That belt is more prestigious than the Knockouts tag titles.

EY and ODB are a joke, literally. They haven't wrestled in months, and when they're together, they do "comedy" pieces that garner a small chuckle at best. They're a joke and they're the champs, so they make the Knockouts tag division a joke.

It's a shame, the Knockouts division had a decent roster no less than six months ago that I enjoyed watching. Now, with Velvet's departure and Brooke Tessmacher's weird boob job, even the Knockouts singles division is adrift. I agree with other posters; since the Knockouts roster is thinning, there just aren't enough of them to warrant a tag division.

And Gail Kim, where have you gone my sweet?

 

[whoopin' ass]

it was a bad idea to begin with because there just were not enough women in the division to have both a singles and tag titles. if wwe can barely do anything with their tag titles despite all the guys they have on contract - how could the tna woman`s division handle tag titles. but making EY one of the champs was just plain stupid. i don`t know why companies make decisions like that. but i think those are titles that just need to disappear for now. they serve no purpose and the division just can`t handle them right now.
