New Knockout Champions

[NSL]

In a rather short, crappy match, Tara dropped the belt to ODB, to only mild surprise. A lot of the talk coming from Hogan lately was that he was a fan of ODB, so I expected the title to go back to her, just not this quick, and not like that. It made Tara look like a weak champion (again), but it does serve to further their feud, although it could have been done at Genesis, and no one would have cared.

Hamada and Kong getting the tag titles was something I predicted, because a first hour title change was expected last night, and switching these belts effects almost no one. In a shallow tag division, Sarita and Taylor remain in the scene, and Hamada and Kong get legitimized as a team.

Fun fact: Kong and Taylor are the only 2 Knockouts to hold both Knockout titles.

I actually preferred Tara as Champion to be honest, I mean let's face it she's 10 times better looking than ODB for a start, and isn't just Steve Austin in female form like ODB is IMO.

Then again I actually prefer TNA's women's division to WWE's, because they have a lot of women who as well as being attractive, can actually wrestle, whereas a lot of WWE's Divas are gorgeous and fit as, but couldn't wrestle their way out of a Tesco carrier bag.

Hogan is a fan of ODB? Shit. I knew there had to be a reason she dropped the belt so quickly. I understand it only serves to further their feud, but come on, I can't help but feel like they shit on her by giving her such a short reign AGAIN. However, I will be looking forward to the return match, where the belt better not switch hands again, because then it turns into the hot cake that everyone complains about.

As for Kong and Hamada winning the tag team gold, this makes me happy. It's nice to see Kong have some gold again and it's nice to see Hamada have some too. It's good thing it's such a small division too, because really, how could you expect Kong and Hamada to ever cut a promo on the team they face. All Kong says is " Monsta...........killl " and Hamada doesn't even speak English as far as we know.

All in all, I'm happy with the title changes and I'm glad the changes didn't come from higher up in the card like the X Division Championship or EY's Global Championship.

Even though Hogan is a fan of ODB, if you think about it, it's not a surprise that ODB beat Tara for the title.

A WWE fan, while waiting for RAW turns on Impact and sees the artist formally know as 'Victoria' (WWE Diva) getting beat in short time by a ODB, a TNA Knockout for the title.

It feeds into the Diva vs. Knockout theme that they have used as the basis for this feud. So the fact that a former Diva dropped the title to a knockout on the night that TNA was going live against Raw should be a surprise.

As for the tag titles, it was a great match and I hope that this leads to a prolonged feud. It's a great contrast in styles and really shows off 4 of the best womens wrestlers in the bussiness.

I was psyched when Hamada and Knog won the titles. Sarita and Wilde were getting boring, and stale. For months TNA never really even put up a challenge against them, and it seemed like they were just content with having them be champions.

ODB winning the title was a complete shock to me. I didn't expect Tara to lose it so soon. The match was bad, and forgettable. This really doesn't make sense to me from a booking stand point. Why have Tara go through a hazing of sorts from ODB,put her through hell to win the title, and then drop it so soon?

 

[BigAdz]

No surprise that Tara dropped the belt, really. Just wish they'd actually put some effort into the spots and made the match worthy of both her and ODB. Hopefully they'll get it right for the return bout and give these two the time they both earned and can use well.

As for the tag titles....meh. Honestly, the whole concept was ******ed from the get go, just like WCW's Cruiserweight tag team titles back in the late 90's. Those are 4 ladies that could easily be put to use in story-based feuds and/or spicing up a Knockout division that actually had me excited to see female wrestling once upon a time, now it's getting to Raw standard.

The Knockouts Tag Title Match was amazing. I hope Sarita and Taylor Wilde continue to fued with Kong and Hamada cause I can see more great matches from these two teams down the road. With these two teams fueding it can open the door for more tag teams to form and step up to face whoever the champions are when the fued ends. After seeing both Women's Title Matches last night it got me thinking...Do you think there could be a chance of a Women's Feast of Fired match just on a smaller scale. You got three briefcases up there being for the Knockouts Title, The Knockouts Tag Title, and someone getting fired(Roxxi). But that's discussion for another time but once again TNA showed last night that their Knockouts Division is better than WWE's Divas Division.

At first I thought it was pointless for ODB to win back the belt so quickly, but then it made sense since because they might have thought that a title change would get casual fans' attention and they might keep watching. Then there's also the fact that it might have been a little way for TNA to poke fun at WWE since Tara used to be on their roster, having ODB go over meaning TNA over WWE. I prefer her as champion instead of Tara anyhow.

Then there's the Knockout Tag titles. I'm kind of glad Kong and Hamada won. Yes, you read that correctly. The guy who DETESTS Kong actually said he's glad she won the tag titles. Why is that? Simple. If Kong is one half of the Knockout Tag Champions, then she'll be busy in that scene for a while and won't be challenging for the Knockouts Championship! Even better news is that Taylor and Sarita are now available as future contenders for the Knockouts Championship. It would be awesome to see both of them in that scene for a while. Have them feud with ODB or something.

I think both title changes were good because one of them gave us a better champion and the other freed the former champions up for possible shots at the more prestigious title.

I really wish Tara would have a decent run as champ. She is by far my favorite amongst all the woman wrestlers to ever compete. Both her runs in TNA have been short and lackluster. ODB needs the belt more than Tara does however. I expect the feud to come to a halt at Genesis with ODB retaining the title and both KO will move on.

I am however thrilled to see Kong and Hamada win the KO tag belts. Both of them deserve gold and what better way than to make them a team. Sarita and Taylor were a snoozefest as a team in my opinion. However they will remain a team as the KO tag division is weak. And until Angelina comes back (assuming she goes to the BP) it will remain that way. The KO tag is built for the BP to thrive in. And now it'll be a tough task taking out Kong and Hamada, who have been the best two performers for a good while now. As they consistently put on solid matches and they are booked strong and look rather credible.

I'm a huge fan of female wrestling when they are females that can actually do the job which mean WRESTLING. Out of ECW, WCW, and WWE; I believe WWE had the best female wrestlers that came through there. Every since they did the whole Diva search thing that's when things started to change for the WWE. Yeah, they still had some decent wrestlers but they barely were much wrestling as we all know the past of the WWE females. TNA try to start a minor female division before they decided to actually make a division with a whole belt thing and all.

Now moving onto the main point here

Knockout Title

ODB vs Tara match was cut short and sort of messed up anyway. The match should've been longer and of course the title shouldn't been change so soon though. Yeah, I heard the whole thing about Hogan is an ODB fan but that shouldn't really matter about the whole title change or even ODB is TNA person and Tara was a former WWE employer. The way I see it after the match that Tara is going to mainly be the heel in this feud and which she does a great job as a heel. ODB is definitely going to be the face for TNA. This will probably lead to another match for the next PPV but no title change hopefully. This can lead to something good because we know they both can do in the ring. Let’s just hope that TNA does something right with this feud which can be a great one with both of them with of course and I really do hope that Tara wins it back. Let her keep the title longer than she has already held the title before.

Knockout Tag Team Title

Out of all of the WWE divas match that we have seen lately this one match beats all of them. Look how great all four wrestlers work together in the match but of course we all know that Taylor & Sarita got flaws as a team though. I even laughed when they were doing the whole entrance thing as they made it to the ring. They got chemistry in the ring no doubt but entrance will need work. As far as Kong and Hamada go I really like this team. Hamada brings skills from working for Japan and Mexico plus working in the US. Next you got Kong who has trained in the art of Japan style of wrestling plus the US. Then you got Sarita who is a Canadian wrestler which knows the Lucha Libre style plus the US. Finally you got Taylor who also has the Lucha Libre style plus US. So there is no way for these four talent wrestlers not to have a great match with each other. The way I sort of see it or compares the team of Kong and Hamada is the team of like Jericho and Big Show and that is saying a lot I know. Kong is a big women and the only two that comes close is ODB and Tara. Hamada is a great talented worker. Having smaller teams like Taylor & Sarita compete against this team is a great thing. I can just imagine what and where this feud can go and it depends on how TNA handles this now.

One last thing I believe they need some kind of manager for Kong and Hamada to work the mic for them. It will just make since and I got a few managers in mind like Kimona aka Leia Meow or Mr. Fuji or Sonny Onoo or someone this will help the team out a lot though.


The knockout Title as I hope ODB is a face as a champ with a great heel like Tara going after the belt

The NEW Tag Champs of Kong and Hamada as heel and the faces are Taylor & Sarita can only get better for everyone.

Of course depends on how TNA and Hogan handle these feuds.

 

[DigitalNight]

The TNA Knockout division has dipped into the Shimmer pool on more than one occasion now. All depending on the personal lives of the individuals, the possibilities can be near endless.

I'm happy to see "JP Ladies Rule" aka Kong and Hamada as tag champs. Gives the "Make Teams to Destroy Kong/Hamada" angle a birth. (and I'd like to see Daffney/Alissa as a team, as in my signature.)
