Winter is the new TNA Knockouts Champion

So last night TNA had two Knockouts matches on the Hardcore Justice PPV. Was that a good thing? The problem was neither match was PPV quality. Both were suitable for the average episode of Impact. Winter won the TNA Knockouts Championship from Mickie James. For one thing, these two don't seem to have any chemistry. Winter is a trained wrestler. But you wouldn't know it watching this match. I believe TNA is telling her to dumb down her wrestling to sell the Winter character. The match goes south with Angelina Love's interference. And ref Earl Hebner messed up a couple of times and it seemed to affect the girls' timing. Winter channels The Great Muta to win the match. The stupid overbooking killed this match. Late last week, TNA added Tara & Miss Tessmacher defending the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship against the phony Mexicans Sarita & Rosita. So most fans probably didn't know this match was on the show. Tara & Miss Tessmacher start with a terrible promo where Tara refers to Miss Tessmacher by her real name. I'm sure most fans don't even remember how the Miss Tessmacher character started in TNA. She went away for a few months so I don't know why they don't use her real name Brooke Adams. They obviously like her because she's hot but she's a very inexperienced wrestler. Like the other match, it was not PPV quality and was better suited for an episode of Impact. Rosita is one of the worst female wrestlers I have ever seen. I know some liked her as Davina Fly in indy feds but she has shown me nothing in TNA. I think she's too small and I don't think she can wrestle. Or TNA doesn't want her to be good. The match was nothing special. Several fans have asked me if either Gail Kim or Melina are coming to TNA now that they have left the WWE. I could see TNA being interested in Melina. I've never liked her. She's a mediocre wrestler and is known to be a backstage nuisance. First, Gail Kim was not released. She quit and PW Insider reported today that the WWE is trying to get her to return. She was very unhappy so it's doubtful that she will return to the WWE. I think TNA will have to pay to get her to return. She's getting married to Food Network chef Robert Irvine so unless the money is right, I could see her retiring. She doesn't need to kill herself for nothing. Who needs the aggravation? BTW, Gail met Irvine on a WWE themed episode of Dinner Impossible. It must have been love at first sight because she was making goo goo eyes at him. Enjoy the videos!
