SO CAL VAL has said the TNA Knockouts are ready to step up to the plate and pose for Playboy now that the WWE Divas have pulled out.
After years of nude shoots for Hugh Hefner’s mag, Vince McMahon has barred his girls from baring all in a bid to make the WWE more “family friendly”.
And gorgeous redhead Val has pleaded for TNA’s women’s division to take over and follow in the footsteps of the likes of Sable, Torrie and Maria.
She told The Sun: “It would be a really good thing for TNA.
“I know the fans love our photoshoots and what could be better than to do one for Playboy?
“And, hey, if we’re going to get naked then this is the classiest way.
“It would also be great to show the WWE up – and have better pictures than their girls did.
“I say go for it!”
But Val isn’t certain she’ll be the first to strip.
She added: “It’s something I have already been asked to do – I was contacted by a few different people from Playboy when I started with TNA – and I figure I may do it later on.
“I’m 22, so I still have a lot of time to make that decision.
“Never say never!”

SoCalVal is funny looking to me- she looks like she has been smashed in the face with HHH's sledgehammer

The problem with this is that they allegedly asked her to do it a year or two ago and she turned them down. Why the change of heart? Or is she just one of those girls who goes "well I'll get naked if my friend does" and then let's the friend do it but she never does?

So that whole "we don't settle grudges with pillow fights" mentality from last year is basically just circling the drain at this point.
Eh, it was a noble attempt.

I don't care the situation or how I feel about respecting women wrestling.
Val doesn't wrestle, and I'd like to see her naked.

How smart that this comes after Sonjay is released.

That TV spot (about settling grudges with pillow fights) has to do more with what they do in the ring than it does out. Now if they start doing actual in-ring pillow fights, then that'd be a different story. And as someone already said, Val's not even a wrestler but even if Velvet, for instance, did Playboy (that'd be great) that doesn't mean the Knockouts division is about pillow fight matches in-ring. It's still a unique women's division. |

It's PLAYBOY, folks. Nekkid wimminz. If Olympians can pose in it, so can wrestlers.

Maybe if it was Hustler...
In all seriousness, no publicity is bad publicity , especially for TNA, whose biggest mainstream publicity came from Pacman Jones* being Tag Champ.
*Pacman Jones was later indefinitely suspended from the NFL for violating the leagues personal-conduct policy, and then released from the Dallas Cowboys.**
** Naked Velvet is obviously a step up from this.

Who (insert your favorite slang here) to Playboy? I don't. Most of the models just pose nude in an artistic way. They're basically coffee table magazines unless you're something of a pietist. Now, Hustler...that's a different story! |

Eh, the way I see it, she is still saying that she wants the entire world to see her naked. Now I certainly don't have a problem with that, (I'm sure I'll come across them at some point  ) but she shouldn't act like there is really a "classy" way to pose nude. Also, this sort of seems to go against the whole "these women aren't a bunch of dumb bimbo divas" mentality. |

Also, this sort of seems to go against the whole "these women aren't a bunch of dumb bimbo divas" mentality. Well that's Val's choice whether does or not, and I do believe that there is a classy way to pose nude and Playboy offers that style. So we disagree there. (nude art, nude paintings, college art classes with nude subjects, and I personally see Playboy as nude art photography) If you see my above post about the T.V. spots, I think they were just saying they weren't 'divas' with regards to their in-ring wrestling work. Posing nude is an individual decision. Just because one girl poses or does not pose should not reflect on the entire group of girls. *edit (that said, even if every last one of them posed, I wouldn't consider them 'bimbos' for doing it) If it were a more hardcore magazine, then that'd be a different story. |
