...specifically, The Beautiful People.

I did not realize how long I had been away from everything
concerning wrestling (December, I think). Before I left the
groups, I read that Angelina Love was deported and Velvet Sky
took over The Beautiful People.

Seeing WWE programs listed in the onscreen television guide
reminded me of wrestling. Of everyone in TNA, I wondered if
Velvet Sky was still there. I decided to watch Impact...but
forgot it was on.

I turned it on about an hour late and coincidentally a segment
involving The Beautiful People started. I thought the big blond
in the middle of the group during their entrance was Love but it
was [I think her name is] Lacy Von Erich. ...and, hey, I
recognize that backside! It was Velvet Sky! I initially thought
that the third one was Taylor Wilde because of how small she was,
but it was [I think her name is] Madison Raine. (If I am getting
the names wrong, then someone correct me.) Each of the three was
holding a title belt. The belt that Raine was holding was white.

Isn't the TNA Women's Championship belt white? ...then why in the
Hell is Raine holding it and not Sky?

Sky and Von Erich faced Taylor Wilde and some dark-hair chick I
do not remember seeing before. I think it was a Women's Tag Team
title match but I do not remember seeing the graphic stating it,
and I had the sound off because I cannot stand Mike Tenay. Sky
did her usual bumping and Von Erich won the match with a
brainclamp type chokeslam that looked like it really knocked out
the little blond chick (Wilde).

OK, good enough. I really do not expect much from The Beautiful
People like I did from Gail Kim and Amazing Kong (both gone now,
right?), so I was not really disappointed with the match.

...then TNA had to add what has become its usual stupidity.
Throughout the match there was a midget wrestler sitting at the
announce table (Hell, he could have been standing; I couldn't
tell). He went to the ring to celebrate with The Beautiful
People. They were kind and gave him double high-fives, and all
was well...until the little bastard (n.Hornswoggle) did something
despicable. As Sky was leaving the ring, the lil creep 'smakt
dat ass'. Sky was justifiably horrified, and she and Raine
surrounded him in the ring, where Sky smacked his face and Raine
gave him a DDT. The Beautiful People left the ring but the
insubordinate Von Erich was concerned about the puny pervert so
she checked on him. In his second assault on a woman in just as
many minutes, he grasped Von Erich's head and kissed her. They
then rolled on the mat while orally copulating. I thought this
was ridiculous and looked at the crowd for their reaction.
They seemed to enjoy it. I turned it off.

I did not see the rest of the show, and this could have been just
one idiotic moment, but considering TNA's recent reputation, I
highly doubt it. Despite that Velvet Sky is still with TNA, I
aint watching this shit for at least another three months.


Is there anything/anyone in TNA worth watching and enduring the
absurdity?

Not deported. Her work visa expired so she left. TNA were stupid enough to
let it lapse & too slow to take action so kayfabe kicked in.

Nope, your doing fine so far.

Yes it is. And thats a damned good question. No-one else knows why shes
champ either,
I assume she's fucking Hogans remaining braincell out.

Thats her partner Sarita, from CMLL. She's excellent ;-)

Yes, Kim back to WWE for a larger paycheck & a wicked concussion in her 1st
Wrestlemania back.

Just so you know? Anyone in the 1st row on any side of the arena is a Hogan
crony.

No. Your missing nothing. Since they went back to tv tapings the show has
gone to hell in a handcart with Bisch pushing as fast as his legs will
manage.

I was exaggerating.

Speaking of things that do not belong in TNA... A square ring?
WTF? The six-sided ring was a gimmick but it was one of the
things that made TNA different.

Thank Hogan & Bischoff, their friends The Nasty Boys said if we come in
we're not working in that ring so it was changed.
I assume because it was bigger in terms of surface area they were scared
about gasssing out. They have since departed but sadly no return to the 6
sided ring.
Dont expect it to change either as when Bischoffs construction crew (who
just happened to win the contract to rebuild the Impact Zone) remodelled the
Impact Zone for the new ring & entrance they suddenly created lots of new
space for paying customers to fill. So dont expect it to change back.

Even though several wrestlers have said they think the guard rails are now
too close to the ring so your seeing a lot less Suicide Dives.

The Nasties said they wouldn't be able to adapt to it.
Team 3d, The Steiners and every other tag team who came in from other places
all adapted, but Hogans mates bleat about and its changed.

I noticed the awkwardness of the ramp to the ring. It seems
dives cannot be done even that way anymore.
