I have video from both TNA Knockout matches from Sunday's Final Resolution because both matches represent ludicrous booking and I want to comment on both. Awesome Kong's defense of the TNA Knockout Title against Christy Hemme is really bad and things are going to get worse. TNA is struggling trying to book a credible challenger for Kong to the point where a rumour surfaced that they're thinking of bringing someone over from Japan. ODB, Taylor & Roxxie have been booked so poorly that they're just not credible anymore. So what do they do? They decide to build up Christy Hemme over two weeks by saying that she's training with AJ Styles and of course she gets a win over Raisha Saeed to get a title shot. The only way this booking works is if Christy really has improved. But based on this match it's clear that after four years in the wrestling business, Christy still doesn't have a clue what to do in the ring. And the ending of this match is lame beyond belief. Who's buying this baloney? The other match had the Beautiful People & Sharmell vs Taylor Wilde, ODB & Roxxi. The story is Sharmell has been talking trash to ODB but can't back it up in the ring. The focus of the match has Sharmell avoiding getting in the ring until she runs away at the end of the match. It's just ridiculous. Sharmell doesn't even pretend to be a wrestler anymore so why involve her in this angle? It makes no sense and the match suffers because TNA does things in a half assed backwards manner. I want Scott D'Amore back. Check out the videos.
You could just say "TNA is ludicrous" and that would cover it.
ReplyDeleteIf I booked the TNA knockouts, the first thing I would do is get Melissa out of the silly Arab costume and have her feud with AK as the Cheerleader. That will probably never happen because I doubt Melissa is dumb enough to sign over the rights to the Cheerleader Melissa gimmick to TNA.
Even though I'm a joshi fan (or maybe BECAUSE I'm a joshi fan), I really don't want them to bring over anyone from Japan. You know TNA would screw that up. They'd either bring over someone good and book them to be a chump (like they do with Japanese guys) or bring over someone who sucks and hype them like it's the second coming of Akira Hokuto until they lay a DUD in the ring.
