Weekly Knockout Notes...

[Jay-Ashley]

So I watched Under Pressure again, and I have to say I really wished Allie would have retained instead of Su. Nothing against Su as she is a good wrestler and everything, but she barely did anything wrestling wise. She only had one or two matches and was involved in manly promos and segments that shouldn't mean she should be the champion. Also, Allie retaining would be a good, or at least to me it would, because Allie went from a happy and bubbly girl to be "goth", you can so, and became a heel in a sense. I don't know I just think Allie retaining would show that sometimes you have to be in touch with your dark side to win is kind of interesting.

I think TNA should make a stable with Sienna, Taya, Tessa heck maybe even try to bring in Davienne or Kelly Klein and make them a group of hard hitting women. And have them fight Allie, Rosemary and Tenille Dashwood or maybe Mandy Leon despite my personal feelings

I'm just shocked they put the belt on Su Yung so soon...she has literally
been around for 5 minutes & has hardly won any actual wrestling matches.

I guess I was hoping for a face vs. face Allie vs. Rosemary match...but
Rosemary is injured for who knows how long...so honestly...I no longer
care about the Knockouts division either.

Ugh...

Then if you don't care why comment, lol.

You know...that "if you don't care why comment' oxymoron
is one of the reasons I'm out of here after MitB.

It seems the only way to truly not care is not be around.

Ehh...

Dish Washing Liquid!

Well have fun whatever you are doing and make sure to have plenty of Dishwashing Liquid as well.

I hope Allie doesn't end up leaving.

TBH, depending on how long Rosemary is going to be out of action, putting the title on Su Yung makes sense. You can have her dominate any challengers until Rosemary returns and dethrones her. Then you can go with the Allie Rosemary storyline (which I want to see). However, Su Yung should be Rosemary's main target when she finally returns.

With that being said, I would have drawn the feud out a little bit longer. I think they could have waited until at least Slammiversary to put the title on Su Yung. Then she could have picked up a few more singles wins before.

I don't really know who they'll have her feud with moving forward. Maybe Madison Rayne since she just picked up a win? Other than that, the division is still pretty thin, especially in the face department. I hope they bring in some more knockout's in the near future.

Bring in people like Tenille and Ivellise. Why not try and bring Jade back as well?

It would be a shame for Impact...but its possible...they
have such a high turnover of Knockouts its kind of crazy.

I disagree with "Putting the title on Su Yung" makes sense...
mainly because she's only been around for 5 minutes.

I mean...I'd understand if someone like Sasha Banks or
Kairi Sane walked in & won the title straight away...but
who exactly is Su Yung? She isn't a star you can build the
division around...well...she isn't in my opinion.

I agree that this whole story feels rushed as hell...which
is what got me to thinking that Allie maybe leaving...but
I can't be bothered checking the news sites for info.

Allie had a really positive reign though & she was booked
as a winner having successful title defenses against Sienna,
Taya (x2) & Su Yung...which for me is the most important
element because a title means nothing if the Champion is
pinned every second week.

Which is why I was extremely pissed off with how Naomi & Bayley
were booked as Champions...and Sasha...well...I'm not even counting
her pathetic reigns.

I don't really know who they'll have her feud with moving forward. Maybe Madison Rayne since she just picked up a win? Other than that, the division is still pretty thin, especially in the face department. I hope they bring in some more knockout's in the near future.

Speaking of that...why is Madison Rayne pinning Tessa Blanchard clean?

This would be like Mickie James pinning Ember Moon clean...

It makes no fucking sense & it hurts my brain!

Bring in people like Tenille and Ivelisse. Why not try and bring Jade back as well?

Wow...that would be an instant fix right there...

Tenille, Ivelisse & Jade would be a huge boost
for the division...in talent & the looks department.

I think the truth is Rosemary's injury has REALLY
hurt the entire division...& they will be running damage
control until she returns.

Putting the title on Su Yung makes sense with the storyline. It would make sense for her to be the one on top when rosemary returns. Personally, Su Yung is not my favorite and I would have been pushing others instead.

I really don't know why they had Madison win beside to add a shock to the show. Not really a good reason. Maybe since they put the title on Su Yung and she is the only face left. Tessa looked like she was going to be a major force in the division and this set her back.

Rosemary being gone has really shown the lack of depth. No division in any company should be hurting by the absence of a single person. That means there is serious issues with the booking or management of the division. Hopefully it is fixed soon. I heard that some new pepole and/or some old people returning sometime in the future. Not sure if that involves the knockouts division as I try to avoid the spoilers.

The problem is...well...apprt from Allie...who else do they push?

I mean I like Kiera Hogan...but...

*Shrugs*

I thought Tessa was going to come in & go straight for Allie & the title...but...
No...apparently not...& in my opinion a "Shock Value" victory can be great...
if the situation is right. Madison vs. Tessa was not the right situation.

Rosemary being gone has really shown the lack of depth. No division in any company should be hurting by the absence of a single person.

Its because Rosemary (& Allie) have been constant elements of Impact
since they showed up...Allie as Maria's assistant & Rosemary as the
"Mascot/Spokesperson" for Decay.

They have evolved & changed as characters on Impact & feel like a HUGE
part of the show because of that.

Rosemary has basically become the cornerstone of the Knockouts division
simply by sticking around & evolving as a performer/character.

You can't just replace that...

Its like when a long running TV show kills off a long term character...there is
a void left that in most cases cannot be filled.

Its why I don't watch the Walking Dead...or as I call it "Eventually Everyone You
Care About Will Die!"

The truth is the Knockouts Division needs some fresh faces...& it needs some real
star power...which is why Tenille, Ivelisse & Jade would really help the division &
the company. They should also bring back Tessmacher & ODB...they need the
numbers.

They are a big part of the division and that void is bound to happen, but you run into that issue a lot more when you only build one star at a time (in this case two but then you are left with 1 person for a whole division.) That's why I'm always confused when people talk about who should be the face of WWE. Why not build multiple faces for the company/division so you don't have to start over everytime someone is injured. Impact really should have been building up strong number twos that could take the place of rosemary or allie if they ever got injured. That is just bad planning (I know the new regime is just getting started). Plus, I believe rosemary knew about the injury and was putting off leaving until she could be written off, so they had a least a little time they could have planned or brought in an already established star.

I would be ok with bringing in Brooke although I doubt she would come in full time since wants to spend time with her child. ODB I don't really care about. Usually she ends up being portrayed with a one dimensional character.
