Velvet Sky gone from TNA, WWE bound?

[nation]

Velvet Sky confirmed her release on Twitter, thanking the company and Vince Russo:

"I have been granted my release by TNA at this time. It's what's best for me right now and I wanted to thank TNA and all the fans for their constant support in me. Stay tuned though..And I also want to thank Vince Russo for creating and believing in the team of The Beautiful People. We had a great run!"


I'm not going to put too much effort into this but it is a big blow to TNA. Velvet is the face of their knockout division and one if not their most popular knockout. Velvet is pretty fucking horrid in the ring but how many females can wrestle? Oh well, she has pretty much done everything possible besides a lengthy run as knockout champion and she is pissed about Love being released. Brooke Tess should be a good replacement but right now, it's a major blow when their knockout roster is so limited.

Two other things to mention, willing to bet Sabin is following and unless the BP reunites and works with Layla, I don't really care for seeing her elsewhere.

If Sabin bails, I hope it's as a team... MCMG would be awesome elsewhere.

 

[...god...]

TBP in WWE.. holy shit! I might actually be interested in divas segments.

 

[NinoBrown]

The Beautiful People were THE best women's angle for the past couple of years.

Sabin's got an almost certain main event push upon his return, no way he'd join Shelley in WWE to either be apart of a dead tag division, or get jobbed out like it was 2008 like Shelley will be if he gets signed.

If I ranked the women's wrestlers on TV, Velvet would be the 2nd worst. (Eve's the worst.) and probably 3rd or 4th least attractive (Eve, ODB, Naomi, Claire Lynch come to mind...) Velvet just needs to go do whatever Lacey Von Erich did. Far away from the public eye.

Isn't Lacey Von Erich doing that softcore "apartment wrestling" pay per match shit now?

With so many Divas either quitting or going on hiatus recently it might be a good idea to freshen things up. Although I don't want Velvet and Angelina to rehash the Beautiful People simply because it would be PG sanitized and some dipshit hollywood writer would fuck it up. Plus it's pretty much the Cody Rhodes Dashing/Bagger gimmick and the LayCool Flawless gimmick. I'd rather see Velvet and/or Angelina (or any female wrestler for that matter) come in to WWE with something more depth than just bitchy good looking diva or smiling good looking diva.

Lacey Von Erich? Apartment wrestling? Softcore? That sounds interesting. :chin:

 

[MizMasta3000]

^very interesting.

I just know that WWE has been a lot of effort into rebuilding their divas division and I'm all for it. Signing Del Ray and having more women's matches on FCW and NXT. It's a shame Kharma is taking a break but she'll be back soon enough. It seems as if slowly, WWE is waning out the girls who are just hot and can't wrestle and bringing in more women of substance.

Also, I WANT MORE CELESTE BONIN ON MY TV DAMMIT! >=[

 

[NinoBrown]

Kharma got let go.

 

[MizMasta3000]

It was a mutual thing I think. By my knowledge the door is open for her when she's ready.

Sabin's got an almost certain main event push upon his return, no way he'd join Shelley in WWE to either be apart of a dead tag division, or get jobbed out like it was 2008 like Shelley will be if he gets signed.

Here's the thing though, and this isn't a TNA-WWE thing and anyone who tries to make it that...just don't, please...economically speaking jobbing every night for WWE pays better than being a top guy in TNA that never drew a nickel in WCW or WWE. At a certain point in life financials matter alot more than ego.
