ODB iz teh Champ!!!!

[gd]

ODB won the Knockout's Championship on PPV yesterday and no one seems to really care. It's likely because of the circumstances, she won the title in a stupid comedy match against Cody "King of the Knockout's" Deaner. It seems as if this whole storyline has devalued to Knockout's Title and taken away all interest from it.

The question is, where does ODB go from here? TNA has the Knockout's Tag Titles going on right now and a Kong/Tara rivalry, so I'm not sure who there is to face ODB. Tara and Kong could get involved with her somehow and someone like Hamada or Traci may be an option, but I'm not sure. There is always the chance that she keeps this thing with Deaner up, which I wouldn't doubt. Hopefully that's not the case though, I can only hope.

So, what do you think is next for ODB and the Knockout's Title? Do you have higher hopes for it than me?

Honestly I'm never been a fan of ODB but I am glad that she won, I mean who thought it would be a good idea to book a male in a female title match, wait don't answer that.

I can't say that I can see where they are going to go with her now as like you said Kong and Tara are feuding and I'm guessing that the Beautiful People will be involved with the tag titles for a while, Hamada could be good but she has only had a few matches in TNA and it seem they are trying to keep her a face and ODB is popular with the audience, so who is left Sojo, Traci, Alissa and Daffney. I don't think a feud with Sojo would be good right now and Alissa has basically been the knockout jobber so Traci or Daffeny they could both be good programs but I think we would get better matches with Daffney so I hope they will go that way.

Pretty sure Hamada is a heel now. She attacked Sojo after they lost in the tag title tourney and left to a some boos, but you never know. TNA may just turn her a few more times for the fun of it, just cause they can.

I do like Flash a lot though. She is much better as her than Saeed and was able to pick up some good heat despite not doing much. I'd really like to see her can a crack at the title.

The signing of Lacey Von Erich also puts her in the mix.

The only thing that makes me happy about ODB being champion is that they gave it to an actual knockout over Deaner. If you asked me if I would like ODB as knockouts champion when she was a heel, then I probably would have said yes because I actually liked her then. Now I don’t. She hasn’t been entertaining to me for the last couple of months and that probably has a lot to do with her feud or association with Deaner.

Anyways, as far as to who I think she might challenge for the title, I hope its Alyssa Flash. Flash is a great worker and I think they could put on some great matches together for the title and have a solid feud. The thing I’m scared about though is that they might push the knockouts title to the side since they are going to introduce the tag titles and they have to build it up and give it some prestige. I hope that isn’t the case and that we’ll still get some great matches from the singles knockouts and the tag team ones. But for right now, the challenger I would pick is Alyssa Flash.

I'm with the masses here. We all knew/wanted ODB to win, but we're not actually fans of her. With any luck, she drops it soon to a legit contender. With Roxxi back, it can go to her, Kong, or Alissa, and no one would mind. Why Alissa? Because she's the "future legend", and she's probably the best thing they have going right now.

If she does keep it for a while, I hope they at least give her something interesting to do. Don't have her dominating Knockouts like Kong and Tara, when she should be on the losing end of those matches.

Bout time. ODB is by far not the best wrestler, but she's been over since her first days in TNA and I see no reasons not to let her hold the belt. Yes she's a comedy character, but I think she's a legit champion holder.

Like I said she's not as good as some of the other champions, but she's not that bad in the ring. I don't see her holding the title that long, and I'm not sure if she'll even have an actual feud(besides Deaner)but since TNA just introduced the knockout tag belts, and built up thoes belts I think they will have more focus on them for a while than the knockout belt anyways. ODB is a viable holder and I'm just happy she beat Deaner!

I could see Tara or Kong beating her eventually for the belt, setting up the already building Tara/Kong match or even a Kong/Rashid feud. Alisha Flash is another contender as well.

This is a great thing that ODB won the KO's title & hopefully rid of that disgrace of a wrestler to the division Cody Deaner once & for all. How can a man compete for a Women's Title? It defies all logic. I am glad that TNA touched up on their WWE knowledge & saw the two tradegies that happened within the company when that manager won the Womens Title way back when & Santina winning the Miss WrestleMania match.

ODB is not the best wrestler on the roster for the women, but she is a great addition. She gets the psychology of crowd/character relationships & has always been over with the crowd, she offers something that the common fan can understand that is way better played than Deaner & she has the wrestling ability to hang with the rest of the KnockOut's. It is good to see her with the belt as all the other girls who do deserve the title is either feuding or in the tag team division.

As for her next challenger's, I can see Hamada & ODB putting on some great matches as Hamada's training & skills are nothing short of disciplined, textbook & solid. After the feud with Kong/Tara, maybe these two girls can have a shot at ODB, even though Kong/ODB has been done before. Knowing what Alissa Flash has done in the ring during the indy's & TNA with her great wrestling skills, she could definitely pull a good solid feud with ODB. Could be a great way to introduce Lacey von Erich to the company as well challenging one of the top babyfaces.

I'm a big fan of Hamada's. She's attractive, and has a very good offensive arsenal. In the little time she's had, she's done a good job of working the match, and sold her opponent's offense well. She could be a good contender in the future, but not for a few months. Let her have a real feud first.

As for Kong, Tara, Alissa...I already stated my cases for them. I'd prefer to see Alissa hold it, but Tara would be nice, since she was undervalued in WWE. Kong is to the point of not needing the title already. Everyone knows she's a monster, and everyone knows she can beat anyone at any time.

Lacey will get into the picture eventually, but I'm not a believer of forcing someone that's brand new into a title scene. She's probably best off feuding with the BP, or joining the BP, and then going for a title shot.

 

[Ambiguous Turd]

I thought for sure they were going to give the belt to Deaner ... and I am glad to see otherwise.

Call me crazy, but I thought the match last night was better than probably what everyone expected it to be. It generally had a good pace to it and had a ton of near falls.

Thank god they didn't put the belt on Deaner. I thought with Ferrera joining the creative team, it would only be a matter of time before we saw a man hold a woman's title. Seems to be one of Russo and Ferrera's favorite recycled ideas.

Good thing they kept the belt on ODB.

 

[The Gribbler]

It irritates me that when TNA finally have enough power in the womens division to add a set of tag titles (whilst it does stretch things some I feel there is enough depth) they go and forget about the singles title...

I think the Tara-Kong thing should be for the title since they are without doubt the two premier knockouts with Angelina gone. ODB will probably hold it until the Tara Kong thing ends, but that makes for a shitty title defense that means nothing at Bound For Glory.

Please TNA, see reason and think of some way to switch the title...
