New TNA Knockout Storyline Plans

As reported, Lacey Von Erich has been signed by TNA. She was under contract to Wrestleicious for another 45-days, but Jimmy Hart got them to release her so that she could take the TNA deal.

With Angelina Love gone, she is scheduled to be a part of The Beautiful People with Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky.

Lacey looks more like a babyface.

I doubt she could ever be the heel that Angelina Love can be.

Okay, did I really just tune out after seeing Abyss covered in blood, moaning "why, why?" Shouldn't a guy and a crowbar have been around someplace? Was this a figure skating thing? In all seriousness, terrible end to an otherwise good Impact! Loved the Daniels/Homicide/Joe three-way dance, loved seeing Daffney in that corset...wow!... Nice Knockouts Tag match despite the predictable Kong run-in and finish. Hernandez and Morgan were great but needed more time, and it looks like they're brewing a great World Elite/Mafia feud.
But Daffney...that corset...I need to be alone now.

*Spoiler* The Future of 'The Beautiful People' Group in TNA
by Nick Paglino
Sep 25, 2009

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.



Report: Scott Steiner Potentially Leaving TNA Wrestling
by Nick Paglino
Sep 25, 2009

The PWTorch Newsletter is reporting that TNA star Scott Steiner has been telling friends backstage in TNA that he does not plan to work for the company much longer. Steiner is very close friends with Jeff Jarrett, and since Jarrett's TNA future is on the fence, it seems as if Steiner feels like there's no reason for him to be in TNA if Jeff doesn't return sometime soon.

It's being said that Steiner had initially planned to retire at the age of 40, and that he was financially secure at that age which means he doesn't need the money now that he's 47 years old. Additonally, Steiner has been working through a number of nagging injuries for many years now, so it seems as if all things combined signal that he no longer needs to be working for TNA. A wrestler once said about Steiner, "If Scott has a decent, hard match where he takes five or ten bumps, he is feeling much more pain than theaverage beat up wrestler [and he feels it for up to] 24 hours after the match. […] His back is so bad, watching him go through a 12 step process to sit in a car seat is excruciating.”

If they let go of Velvet Sky, I just may go back to the WWE. I love watching that butt wiggle when she enters the ring. :D

Jim Cornette Returns To ROH In NYC - Shoots On Russo

Cornette announced to the live crowd that he will be an "executive producer" for ROH. Cornette's promo shot on midgets wrestling on TV every week as well as Vince Russo, notably saying: "Sarah Palin will give Barack Obama a lap dance on the steps of the capital before I get behind Vince Russo." There were loud chants of 'F*ck TNA' and 'F*ck Vince Russo' as well. I was there live and this came off awesome.

Article

Who's fault is it, TNA's or the fact that Cornette who couldn't be a professional and lost it backstage?

You're not the only one! My friend came round to watch TNA at mine and he's WWE through and through so he rarely watches TNA, and his words on seeing Kurt Angle were "WTF, has Kurt Angle got AIDS or something?"

He sure has lost a lot of weight, tho. :2 cents:

Lacey Von Erich Criticizes Angelina Love, Talks TNA Debut
by Nick Paglino
Oct 02, 2009


The Miami Herald recently conducted an interview with the latest Knockout to debut with TNA, Lacey Von Erich. The following are excerpts from the interview:

On TNA vs WWE: "TNA is completely different than WWE. The atmosphere and the people are different. I think it's really competitive in WWE where there is one blonde and then another blonde. There is just so much cattiness, and rumors fly. Candice Michelle told me that. She just got out. A couple of the girls who got out of WWE were telling me that. So I was going into TNA thinking there was going to be so much drama, and it was going to be terrible."

On Arriving in TNA: "I get there, and they are the most incredible girls ever. We go have beers after the shows. ODB is awesome. I already knew Awesome Kong who is amazing. I also feel you get to shine. They want you to wrestle good there. It's not that WWE doesn't want you to wrestle well, but you don't feel like you can wrestle to your potential. In TNA, they want you to do your maximum potential."

On Replacing Angelina Love: "I feel like it was made for me, and she [Angelina] wasn't a good fit for it in my opinion. I thought that everybody was going to be, `Oh no. AngeLina Is gone,' but not one person said that. Nobody really missed her that much. I feel like I can fill the shoes that I'm supposed to. TNA told me this role was made for me, and I feel the same way. So when I met the other members, Velvet and Madison, they are awesome. . . When I got there, we all just felt like we were one group, and the band was completed. . .I've never met Angelina before in my life. After what some people have said, I don't know if I want to. I just feel like we can all be a group together and shine together, so I'm excited about that."



Angelina Love Unpopular in TNA
by Nick Paglino
Oct 02, 2009


PWTorch.com is reporting that despite visiting friends backstage at TNA's last taping, Angelina Love was not very popular amongst most of the talents in TNA.

We reported before that The Miami Herald ran an interview with Lacey Von Erich, and she alluded to Angelina Love having a bad backstage reputation and that no one in the locker room seems to miss her now that she's gone.


Damn, can you say mean and two-faced?


Report: Dixie Carter Not High On Putting Stock Into Lashley
by Nick Paglino
Oct 02, 2009


PWTorch.com is reporting that although TNA President Dixie Carter was initially very high on Bobby Lashley, her interest in pushing him as a main event player has diminished. Carter is currently pushing for a youth movement in TNA, and wants to focus the company around the upcoming pushes of AJ Styles, Hernandez and Matt Morgan.

While Bobby Lashley is still considered useful to TNA, Dixie Carter doesn't want to give him too much of a push as his MMA career will be an obvious distraction for Lashley down the line. Carter and TNA feel that they would rather focus the company around wrestlers who are full-time with TNA as opposed to talent who take frequent breaks to pursue other interests.

TNA Asks Lacey Von Erich To Apologize For Love Remarks
by Nick Paglino
Oct 02, 2009


Prowrestling.net is reporting that there is internal heat on Lacey Von Erich for what appeared to be shoot comments made towards Angelina Love in a recent Miami Herald interview. We reported earlier that Lacey Von Erich commented on Angelina Love by saying that "[Angelina] wasn't a good fit for it in my opinion. I thought that everybody was going to be, `Oh no. AngeLina Is gone,' but not one person said that. Nobody really missed her that much. I feel like I can fill the shoes that I'm supposed to."

According to the report, when TNA officials got wind of Von Erich's comments, they ordered her to apologize to Angelina Love and made it clear that they were unhappy with Von Erich's actions.



Lacey Von Erich Tweets on Angelina Love; Calls Her "Amazing"
by Nick Paglino
Oct 02, 2009


In what appears to be a change of attitude, or a move demanded by TNA, Lacey Von Erich has posted the following Tweet on her Twitter account: “I hope everyone enjoyed the show last night! Angelina Love was amazing in the beautiful people and I hope I do it justice! P.S. Don’t believe rumors! I think Angelina will be missed in TNA and hope we can work together someday!”

At this point, it could be speculated that Von Erich made her initial comments towards Love in the Miami Herald interview as a work, and she was playing her Beautiful People character, however, most wrestlers shoot during interviews with The Herald, so it remains unclear whether or not Von Erich really meant what she initially said.
