TNA Knockouts unhappy, new direction

Quote :

There has been more grumbling than usual amongst the female performers of TNA over the pay discrepancy between them and their male wrestler counterparts. Reportedly, they talked amongst themselves early last week of getting all the women together to demand a raise from management. However, the three-day television tapings in Orlando concluded without confrontation.


» Unlike the case of Roxxi, there has been no strong reaction to ODB's departure from TNA Wrestling. A number of people within the company felt bad for Roxxi because she showed up for work on the day of Slammiversary and hastily informed her services would no longer be required. Many feel the Knockouts division "has gone to hell" as Roxxi was one of the better in-ring performers they had left. On another note, there is said to be no interest on the company's part in marketing women's wrestling, sans pushing "The Beautiful People" and Angelina Love.

so screw the KOs it's all about TBP & angelina now

I know Hogan and Bischoff dont like Womens Wrestling. But if TNA dont want it then its their loss.

i still find it funny TNA doesnt want to pay these girls but expects them to be happy and continue to want to work there.

Fuck Dixie to hell

This company will go die before the year is over it's best to just prepare for it.

Maybe Vince can buy them out and then destroy them..just like WCW

Sorry, but despite the name, TNA is not a women's wrestling company. The Knockouts may/had the highest ratings, but getting a 1.04 for a segment when the rest of the show is barely getting a 1.0 isn't that big of a deal. Bischoff and Hogan are trying to improve the overall status of the company, but TNA was screwed long before they came in. All of the credibility of the TNA wrestlers have been fucked over outside of one or two acts. Most all of the storylines are flat out horrible. And a good portion of the workers don't know how to convey emotion, cut a promo, and wouldn't know a good character if someone dropped a 5000 page script on their head.

It doesn't help that a majority of their fans have been brain washed to think twigs doing flying monkey impressions without being funny like monkeys draws, the women by default deserve more compare to what the divas get, and that promos/characters are totally worthless.

It sucks that the women are getting shafted in pay. However, they work for 5 minutes an iMPACT! and a lot of times the fans complain about what they are given. Times that by four/five shows a month, you barely got 30 minutes. I am all for equal pay, but only if you do equal work.

it's good they didn't challenge managment. they are all expendable. even Angelina, Lacey, Velvet and Madison. Hogan and Bischoff do not take women's wrestling seriously. Bischoff proved this with the Nitro girls and the diva searches, Hogan with his reality show. we all knew this would happen when they signed on and look where we are now: Alissa Flash and Traci Brooks got the boot, Awesome Kong pissed off Hogan's buddy so she had to go, Roxxi got fucked over twice, Tara saw the writing on the wall and left and so did ODB. and it's not even with these two, Gail Kim had to leave because she needed money and they weren't willing to give it to her after everything she's done for them

well Tara is working her way back now

but eh...this division is dead. i'm actually secretly hoping TNA just dies

maybe then Dixie will learn her lesson

Dumbass

*flashes back to when EVERY WOMENS WRESTLING FAN SAID THE KNOCKOUT DIVISION PWNED THE DIVA DIVISION

It did when it started. we had ladder matches..cage matches...real women's bouts in TNA

not 2 minute nonsense matches.

but then Dixie decided she wanted to fix something that wasnt broken and she ruined a good thing.

now it's just a waste...

TBH, once Gail left, a serious of things fell apart- Angelina becoming champ for one

agreed because I think she's overrated

That sucks because TNA was on a roll! Damn Hogan and Bischoff!

Lots of Angelina hating goin on in here



I don't think the division died when Gail left, I DESPISED TNA GAIL! It was all about her her her, fuck that bitch! (loved her feud with Kong) but still lol

We had crappy months of Christy Hemme and Sojo getting pushes instead of girls like Roxxi, Jackie and ODB (at the time) not to mention Taylor's flop of a title reign With her fruit roll up self, her feud with Daffney saved her and made her the awesomness that she is today <3

Anyways what I'm basically saying is that the division was at its peak when we had Flash, Kong, Roxxi, Hamada, Sarita, Taylor, Tara, Daffney, Angelina Love, Madison, ODB , Traci running around.


*sigh* Dixie Carter is seriouisly a moron, I think the bitch was dropped on her head as a child, the shit she does makes absolutely no sense!

I know.

Now look at the 'great' KO's.

They ain't fooling anyone anymore!

you're confused..

the great KOs are all gone.

Everyone except um (all ladies left are great, the wrong ones are being pushed though)

you think Daffney is great?

she's a great character, yes but she's not awesome in-ring. I still love her but i wouldnt call her great.


the great KOs are all gone..Melissa, Gail, Kong, ODB, Roxxi....you might as well include Hamada in this too since TNA is too cheap to book her lol

Sarita and Taylor are hanging by a thread..Rosey is average..

Angelina/velvet = overrated...Madison is good...but not great. lacey is mere comic relief, not meant to be taken seriously...

yeah the "great" division which helped put TNA on the map is long gone...
