PW Insider reports that Portia Perez lost to Angelina Love in a dark match at last night's Impact taping. Obviously it appears that they are interested in her and may sign her. I wonder what they'll call her. Portia is yet another Canadian from Ottawa. She was trained by Dave Dalton at the UWA in Ottawa. She started out working for various promotions in Eastern Ontario & Quebec. But her big break came when she got her green card and was brought into SHIMMER a couple of years ago. Portia is a pretty good wrestler but her main attribute is she has plenty of personality and charisma. She also looks much younger than she actually is. She has built quite a following in SHIMMER. Portia has also been to Europe and has worked for AAA in Mexico. If she signs with TNA, they're obviously not going to call her Portia Perez. Her effectiveness will depend on how they use her. I'm not concerned about Portia as she seems to know what she's doing but TNA is a different story.
Good for Portia. Like you, I have no qualms about her talents as a wrestler. But look what they did to Nikki Roxx and Josie. Stupid names and gimmicks that didn't work. Gail Kim and Kong were the only ones that were pushed to show all their talents.
ReplyDeleteA lot of that was that Gail had really good chemistry with AK and the others don't have any chemistry with her. TNA knows they have to replace Gail but they're being very indecisive. If they had any sense, they would realize that the answer is right underneath Raisha Saeed's burka.
