*Spoiler* The Future of 'The Beautiful People' Group in TNA

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that TNA made the decision to hire Lacey Von Erich strictly as a replacement for Angelina Love in "The Beautiful People" group. With the departure of Angelina Love from TNA, the group was in need of a third member, and despite her lack of in-ring experience, TNA decided to bring in Von Erich because physcially she fits the look of the group.
It's being said, however, that TNA is concerned with Von Erich's in-ring work, as she reportedly has less than 20 matches under her belt in the entirety of her pro wrestling career. Furthermore, she only lasted 4 months in WWE's developmental system before being let go, with most feeling she was inadequate in the ring.

Angelina Love, meanwhile, is still living in Tampa Bay, but she is attempting to sort out her Visa issues. Because TNA replaced her so quickly, it looks like they don't feel confident that Love will fix her problems anytime in the near future, so they're proceeding without her.

Another concern for TNA is Velvet Sky, who although has been a pro wrestler for quite sometime now, is still green in the ring. TNA feels that they cannot rely on her to get the job done as a wrestler, and is hoping that one of the three current members of The Beautiful People will step up as Love did in the past when it comes time to wrestle.

apparently the 2 years of experience doesnt mean shit, if shes had less then 20 matches

Well.. Duh.

However, it's not like Angelina or Velvet or Madison were/are booked to be *amazing* mat technicians. Some of their best matches as a group involved them running around in circles for most of the time. Just look at the Sacrifice match this year with Love vs Kong. If Lacey is suppose to be the leader, let's just hope she's charismatic enough to pull off a chickenshit heel role.

Yeh Lacey isnt Angelina, we all knew that but ill still give her a chance i cant hate on her

I have to agree, I mean we all know that Angelina was better in the ring then TNA let on, it was all about the gimmick for them (TNA) rather then her in ring skills. I can't even remember a great match she had while in TNA. Decent at best :ewwa:

Lacey will never be Angelina good though, its best to keep her ass out of the ring while she trains and trains and TRAINS!

I always thought Madison was the best wrestler of the 3 but she just..doesnt fit in TBP at all. she's kinda just "there"

I'm still giving Lacey a chance, though.

she kinda reminds me the a wrestling game, how werid they move and shit.

At first I wasn't sure on TBP having Lacey or their future when Angelina left but I've gotten used to Lacey being there, she's 5 million times more attractive than Angelina, (in my opinion of course not the general concensus lol) no she can't wrestle for shit but she's good on the mic and very present on the camera, she's better backstage than Angelina was so if Angelina Love were to come back I reckon having all four on the team would be like...

While Madison is no doubt the best out of all three women I don't think she can carry the whole inside of the ring while Lacey and Velvet carry the team on the outside and backstage

As much as Madison's inexperience shows, i'd see her as the better wrestler between her and Velvet.

I will admit, Velvet has done her best the last few matches but she just blows big time. Madison can hang, she has loads of experience in tag team wrestling, yeah she's a rookie and her inexperience is obvious when she wrestles, but with time, i see her really breaking out as a wrestler, she reminds me of Taylor Wilde a few years ago and she turned out alright. diffrence was, Taylor was more athletic then Madison is. So that's the diffrence maker right there.

Also glad to see people in TNA aren't complete idiots...
