TNA Knockouts Tag Titles

[My$terio_Fan]

This has bad news written all over it. There's not enough time to put it all on TV, and TNA has more than enough titles as it is. We're going to see bad teams (Traci/Sharmell), bad pairings (Hemme/Tara), and potentially only two good teams out of the bunch (Wilde/Sarita & TBP). This will all be more of the same of what we saw when TNA introduced the Knockouts Title. We'll see one solid feud, and then someone like Cody Deaner will come along and bury it with a smack of the ass. The only way this works, is if TNA gives the women their own show, and we can only imagine how bad that would be...

Sadly I kind of agree with this. While I'm a huge knockout fan, and love that the girls are getting even more exposure and "push" by TNA, I fear this will only water down the entire division. I don't know if TNA would be able to book to credible, title worthy feuds at a time. And I'm not a fan of random pairings.

I really hope this is the next step to a all Knockout show. Even though I doubt it would be a good business move, or a ratings grabber, I'd love to see an all female show. If that were to happen, TNA could bring some more girls in, and the belt would probably be really usefull.

But I guess I'm going to give this a chance, and with Scott D;amore back in as the booker for the knockout's division, I think their's a slim chance, this could actually turn out amazingly. I just hope they countinue to highlight the knockout's title as the "top" belt.

Yes, yes, and double yes. I am actually very excited for this, because it means even MORE air-time for the Beautiful People. And if that isn't the case, then this whole thing is pointless.

I don't give a rat's ass what anyone else has to say, the fact of the matter is - The Beautiful People aren't just the top of the class in the Knockout's division, but in all of TNA as a whole. I tune in every Thursday night to see a very select few, and the Beautiful People are apart of that small handful.

It certainly seems one of two things are going to come of this Tournament and new title. First, Angelina Love dropping her title and as result, dropping Madison Rayne to make Love & Sky a duo, instead of a trio means they'll be a prominent part of this newly created Tag team division. Second, with Deaner seemingly making a run at the Knockout's title means the Tag team division is likely going to get more steam, because ODB is the only odd one out to challenge Deaner in a stupidity contest - while the true talent is going to compete for the newly made Tag team gold.

Out of the possible teams, I'm liking the way this Tournament could shape up. We could literally get a Final Four of; Kong/Saeed, Love/Sky, Christy/Tara, and Wilde/Sarita. With the Mafia unit possibly looking to replace either of the latter two teams. And having the outcome being either of those "make-shift teams" feuding. Yeah, the Knockout's division is still slightly small to have a Tag team division of their own - but this can form new feuds, and new opportunities.

isnt it obvious whos gonna win. MEM. they have all the titles so give it to them and they will be totally dominant, maybe (most likely) most dominant stable in TNA history

 

[King Patrick Star]

No, it’s not obvious. If TNA allows Traci and Sharmell to win the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles, it would be a mistake. Then again, Booker did crown himself the first TNA Legends Champion and that Title seems to be working out well right now. I rather see the Beautiful People win this Title first. They are basically the only “actual” KOs Tag Team in TNA that have “credibility” and chemistry. If the M. E. Mob takes the Straps, I hope it’s not for a long run.

I think it will de-emphasise the x division because the knockouts tag team titles are likely to be defended on impact from time to time. I really think it is good for ppvs but bad for impact because the focus on mens wrestling will decrease and i prefer watching the men wrestle.

The Knockouts division will definitely benefit from another set of titles as this will enable the knockouts who are not quite at the level to compete for the top title the chance to test the waters alongside another knckout who could carry the team.

In general i think it is a great move for the knockouts division but not good for mens wrestling in TNA which contains the bulk of the titles and the roster.

 

[The Pope CTC MEM]

King Patrick it probably wont have it for a long time if they do but if they dont win it first up they will win it somewhere down the track. anyway why else did they get traci?

It's a stupid idea but I'm not particularly surprised. If ever I wanted a stupid idea, I'd know the place to go for it would be TNA.

TNA doesn't need that many titles, women can't wrestle and them wrestling in twos just makes it more apparent, etc. etc.

The TNA KnockOut's are one of the main features of the company where these girls are actually respected for their contributions in women's wrestling as they provide something in the mainstream wrestling of the womens division not seen. You have women with different wrestling backgrounds who aren't in the business just to gain momentum in their career that has nothing to do with wrestling.

If you were to post this in the WWE section, I would not mind at all considering the lack of actuall women wrestlers on the roster. However, you are talking about the TNA womens division. The only one's with this company that don't particularly have any wrestling skills yet are prominently featured as in-ring competitor's are Christy Hemme & Velvet Sky. Velvet is apart of one of the greatest womens stables ever & has successfully pulled off her character very well. Christy has been training in improving her skills & is there for the main piece of eye candy.

By the logic presented here that pitting two women together means that they cannot wrestle one on one suggests that the pairing of two males together mean they can't wrestle. I do believe that teams such as Team 3D have crafted themselves into being tag team specialists whom can perform without a tag partner. Same thing with the Scream Queens. Daffney & MsChif can wrestler as singles stars but are tag team specialists with each other.

Good point. I thought for sure that Traci would have been placed as the M. E. Mob’s Knockout Title contender, then again, that idea came about before the creation of the Knockout Tag Team Titles, so I guess you’re right.

I think what most people are failing to realize is that TNA is missing one key element in their product... ratings. Granted, the Knockouts give Impact more ratings than the main events of the show at times, but that doesn't mean they should up the ante of the Knockouts product. It means they need to compensate by improving the REST of the show.

Like some have said before me in this thread, women's wrestling just doesn't draw staggering numbers. In my point of view, if the Knockouts Division matches are gaining better ratings than the men's matches, this doesn't tell me that the KO matches are better... it just tells me that the men's matches are just that much worse.

Don't get me wrong... I'm all for the Knockouts being on television as much as possible. Just like someone said before me, they are one of (if not THE) main reasons why I watch TNA every once in a while. However, too much is trying to be squeezed into a 2-hour show. TNA is constantly growing their talent pool and flooding their show with new titles. They're currently up to 6 titles on their program, with the KO TT titles being the 7th. Hell, they only have 7 matches on this week's Impact show. What does the future hold? Weekly shows with every match being a title match? If not, then the titles won't get enough exposure. It's just more bad booking by TNA.

Sometimes, being innovative is not always the answer. New wrestling organizations are supposed to learn from mistakes in the past, not always try and reinvent them. It's almost like TNA is that friend on the outside of the popular kliq in high school that's always liungering around for attention. Sometimes, they'll get the popular kids' attention as well as their followers. But most of the time, they're trying to hard and are made out to look like idiots.

- During a backstage segment on last week's episode of Impact, Tara said TNA creating the Knockout Tag Team Championship was something "WWE would have never thought of." To clarify, a Women's Tag Team Championship has in fact graced a WWE
ring. The Women's Tag Team Championship was established in 1983 and lasted through 1989 when it was abandoned. The belts notably changed hands during the inaugural Royal Rumble as The Jumping Bomb Angels (Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki) defeated The Glamour Girls (Judy Martin and Leilani Kai) in a two out of three falls match.

Tara a.k.a Victoria stated that the TNA knockouts tag team titles was a first for womens wrestling, well the fact is it isn't as stated above The WWE has come up with the concept previously and is not the first time that a mainstream company would come up with a womens tag team title.

she stated that it is something that the WWE would never do, well they did it, they may have failed at it but they did do it, I see TNA failing at this also as i do not believe that It will increase ratings, all the tag team titles will do is just take up precious airtime and the fact is TNA doesn't need to fill spots with more belts they have to many as it is.

 

[King Patrick Star]

Actually, I believe this is the one of the first steps to having a Knock – Out exclusive show. I’m sure TNA doesn’t want to have a one Title / one hour show. Adding the KO Tag Straps would give the KO more “goals” to gun for. With the talent already in place, and the availability of more to come, I think this new division will work out great.

 

[Ripper]

For the record I like this idea. If you are going to have Knocout tag matches you might as well make them mean something.

So who does everyone think Madison's partner will be?

 

[Exist2Inspire51]

I don't think that this is such a good idea. All of the better Knockouts are going to be going for the KO title so you are more than likely going to see the sub par Knockouts in the tag division. This could be a bad thing like when WCW had the Cruiserweight Tag Titles. I think that it is just a stupid title to add to TNA but I guess we will see what happens with it.
