Roxxi Laveaux goes bald

Here's video of Sunday's match at TNA Sacrifice concluding with Roxxi Laveaux having her head shaved. This clip ends during the shaving but you can find Part 8 at Daily Motion to see last couple of minutes of the segment. You may have noticed there has been a lot of controversy about this match. Roxxi fans are outraged. And though I understand what TNA is trying to accomplish, it's like everything else they do. It's done in a half assed convoluted manner that defies logic.




TNA was trying to accomplish two things with this match. They were trying to turn the Roxxi character completely babyface. The other thing is they've been having trouble getting fans to boo Angelina Love despite her heelish behaviour. It looks like they succeeded despite idiot fans chanting "Fire Russo". The girls worked very hard during the match and special kudos to Gail & Roxxi's ladder match. But TNA fails to understand that simple is always better and this combination of a battle royal, ladder match & hair match was utterly ridiculous. They don't think. For me, the biggest problem was giving Gail Kim immunity as a five minute throwaway segment on Impact. They shouldn't have done that at all and a ladder match between Angelina & Roxxi would have been OK and more significant because the two are feuding. And if tou've seen the spoilers for this week's Impact, Gail winning meant nothing. So, no problem with the execution by the wrestlers. Big problem with TNA booking. Enjoy the match.
