TNA Has Too Many Knockouts

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

OK, before people jump the gun and say the Knockouts are the highest rating portion of the show, well hear me out. This is not about the Knockouts I like, such as the Beautiful People, nor Awesome Kong, nor Gail Kim etc. This is about the Valets who do shit all. I'm talking about Jackie, Salinas, Christy Hemme and Rhaka Khan. I'm sure there a few more, but I can't remember them.

This all came about because I was watching iMPACT!, and I was watching the Beer Money vs Cage/Rhino match (you know, the perfectly good match TNA wrecked with a billion run ins and DW commentating >_>). I then noticed Jackie at ringside, and thought to myself, wait .... what the hell does Jackie do to add anything to James Storm? Storm is fine by himself, so I have no idea why the fuck Jackie is needed.

So why are people like Khan, Hemme, Salinas, Khan and Jackie needed? I can understand having a few but why are all of them needed? Will someone enlighten me?

 

[Solid Stinger the Big Boss]

I honestly have absolutely no idea why the useless knockouts are needed.

Most likely still their to get involved in a storyline soon in the future. Involving another knockout or whomever that useless knockout is managing.

Is the all women TNA show idea still around or was it cancelled?

 

[Soulpower]

I have to agree with this topic. Salinas bring NOTHING to either LAX or the KO's division, other than really big boobs (And we have that covered with Traci and Jacqueline). Rhaka Khan does nothing, and with Steiner hurt at the moment, she's even more useless. I would leave Hemme as long as Hoyt and Rave are together, and I would Jacqueline because the KO's need a veteran presence in the locker room.

I agree there are too many valets. There are so many other womens wrestlers that they could bring in to fill thoes spots.

I think they are used as managers so that when you need to do a screw job finish you don't always need to have run ins, you can just use the manager to "distract" the ref or something. I don't mind any of the Knockout managers, they don't add anything but I don't think they hurt anything either

 

[gashface]

Wrong topic title, those are not knockouts in my books, they are valets. Get rid of rhaka khan, and salinas. I personally like Jackie, she is bad ass in the ring too.

 

[Enigma22]

i like salinas and christy cause they are hot as fuck but jackie and rhaka khan arent... make them wrestle if they are gonna stay on the show. especially jackie since shes a good wrestler...

 

[Qwake]

Rhaka Khan really needs to go, she is fucking ugly and does nothing for anybody or even herself. She needs to go quickest. Jackie also does shit all and needs to go but the other two I may disagree. Salinas is hot and over and helps LAX a little bit so she could stay and Christy Hemme isnt a bad wrestler and she is quite good at what she does (manage and sell good when she gets squashed, see Kong). Those last two do help but the other two do jackshit imo. Also if Tracy is there then she should go unless TNA already got rid of her...

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Managers are managers, what do you want? Imo, LAX just wouldn't feel the same without Salinas. The way she dresses and speaks really adds to the... latin... ness. o.o Christy Hemme is decent in the ring when they need a jobber or a random teammate (and I don't care how meh she is in the ring, that guillotine leg drop from the top turnbuckle is EPIC), and like Salinas she really adds to her team's gimmick. Jacqueline is a vet, plus she's still very talented and frankly I don't know why TNA doesn't use her more. Now, Khan, you're right, I have no idea why they hired her. It worked out nicely now that Steiner is injured, Petey is still keeping the genetic freak gimmick just by having her around, and she can interfere in matches, but other than that she's pretty useless from what i've seen. Once Steiner comes back there won't be much point to her.

 

[ThaMan612]

That may be true, but I'd rather have too many Knockouts than not enough Knockouts. And the majority of the female wrestlers in TNA are talented, and could have a run with the Knockout Title. Not because they look good, but because they have talent (unlike that other Company) I just want to see Jackie Moore with the Title

 

[seX-Power]

^ agreed, i mean its not like all these knockouts are hurting anyone... like RLFB said, they kind of add to the group/persons gimmick and are meh at the worst in the ring. idk wtf Rhaka Khan is there for though???

Actually, valets are completely different from managers. Managers are meant to be able to talk when the talen can't, and they are meant to add to the matches. What do Salinas and Jackie add? A whole lot of NOTHING.

Saying Salinas helps LAX's gimmick is bs. LAX were fine before they got her. She has made no difference, she is just costing TNA money.

 

[gashface]

Jackie adds a lot if you ask me and she can wrestle too. But I will admit Salinas and Rhaka Khan are useless. But the rest have their purposes.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

I admit Salinas doesn't really add much, but if they got rid of her, LAX wouldn't feel the same. It would be like... where's the muy caliente mamacita? And they don't try to act like she's main event material, so really, it's all good.

 

[Charismatic Edge]

Salinas and Jackie can wrestle, so yes, they shouldn't be valets anymore. It's time to really pad the Knockout division. Have more singles matches.

The women's wrestling in TNA is a wonder to behold. Really, I mean it! Compare the action with WWHHH and it's embarassing.
