Why Did Taryn Terrell Turn Heel?

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the turning of Taryn Terrell heel was done in order to preserve plans for a feud between her and Awesome Kong. The site reports that when TNA did not expect Kong to be cheered when she came back and that she would work as a heel against Terrell.
When it was clear Kong was going to be a babyface to the fans, the decision was made to turn Taryn and align her with the Dollhouse. This also gives her a feud with Gail Kim, with the Dollhouse there to help keep her as a strong heel champion.

Opinionated View- I thought Taryn did very well with her heel turn promo. She had also been a face since joining TNA while Kong has almost always played heel. So I like them trying something different. Plus having Taryn give the Dollhouse someone to carry it a bit.

TNA Using New Knockouts Championshp Belt

 

When Impact Wrestling posted a photo on Instagram of their championship belts under the Christmas tree, some people noticed that the classic Knockout’s Championship was missing. It seems that with the move to Destination America, TNA has also redesigned that women’s title. The belt, which used to feature a white strap with an outdated TNA logo, has been modernized. It now features a black leather strap with a similar design, but with updated logos and colors. Check out the photo below.

And a close up of the new belt

Opinionated View- It was time they had used the same belt since the title was introduced in 2007. Now its also time to update the tag titles.

TNA Says Gail Kim Injured, Out of Action Indefinitely

- TNA announced on their official website that Gail Kim suffered a separated shoulder during her match with Havok on Wednesday’s episode of Impact Wrestling. Theannouncement noted she also tore a few ligaments and some cartilage and will be out indefinitely.

Kim commented on the news, saying, “In all my years of being in this business, I have never experienced the pure evil of someone like HAVOK. To be the target for the title, that I’m used to but to have someone try to put me out indefinitely and end my career…I have one message for HAVOK. I have overcome a lot in all these years. This will not be the end. Anyone who knows Gail Kim knows that I don’t back down from anyone. ANYONE. Now you have the target on your back. You know what they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall and I will be the one to bring you down”

Opinionated View- Sounds more like this is all about hyping up how dangerous Havok is.

Rumor Says TNA Knockout's Contract is Expiring Soon

The Wrestling Observer newsletter is reporting that TNA Knockout Gail Kim’s contract is set to expire soon.

Opinionated View- Well it's the Observer so you can't trust much. But yeah Gail returned in November a couple of years ago so yeah I would think it would expire around that time as well. Given how unhappy Gail was during her last WWE run and how it's only gotten worse since she left I don't think we have to worry about a jump to WWE. Hell given how stupid WWE is  I bet they wouldn't even try. Now could I see Gail retiring to spend more time with her husband or trying to start a family (all of which I am just speculating not based on any report/interviews.) yeah that's not unusual. 

Also lets see how the TNA budget it. Could they view Gail like they did AJ where great talent but worked with everyone how much more can we do and do we want to give her _______ when _______ could be used to sign several talents.

Lady Tapa Done with TNA?

WrestlingNewsWorld's Richard Grey is reporting that Le'D Tapa is possibly done with TNA.

Grey claims a source within the company called Tapa a 'ticking time bomb' and showed little willingness to learn. Following some comments made by Tapa, Officials decided to stop promoting her.

The taped Gail Kim vs Lei'D Tapa match for next week's explosion could possibly be her last match.

Opinionated View- YESI LOVE IT! I was stunned they let her win the Gut Check. I think it was just an attempt by TNA to create another Awesome Kong sadly she was another Rhkaka Khan crazy and untalented. Hopefully this opens up the door some anyone with talent to get a spot.
