Aside from my strong dislike for Gail Kim (and all the ridiculous amounts of praise she gets), I've been rooting for Taryn back since her Tiffany days as GM of ECW. Something likeable about her, and for once I backed the right "she's trying hard and improving" girl. I'm glad to see that she's not only reappeared on main stream wrestling but seems to have gotten better and received a fair amount of respect from the IWC.
Also, aside from the regular dislike of Gail, the booking lately was annoying. She kept getting shoehorned into title matches like her name was John Cena. She lost clean 2 times and was thoroughly beaten up several times, why was this a triple threat match when Taryn never had a regular one on one?

I really liked Taryn but since her return she seems like she lost something. It's because she's not bumping like a lunatic as much. Remember that all the matches we saw of her prior to her getting pregnant were gimmick matches that are designed to just throw shit everywhere while she's had plenty of straight normal matches since coming back.

Isn't just that though she seems like shes trying to bump allot safer now which slows her down allot.

Eh, I am not really that into Skirt Tiffany, but I respect that she's not a bad choice for champion, all things considered, it isn't like there's a lot of certainty over what happens now.

She can't wrestle. She's horrible/bland on the mic. But she's not afraid to take bumps and she generically attractive/hot so that means she's awesome. People's standards for mainstream women's wrestlers are very low.

i'm just glad she won so we don;t have to hear every couple minutes about how "she's never held the knockouts title before" anytime she turned up on screen.
as for why it was a triple threat, it seemed obvious to me that they didn;t want Havok to take the fall so the only way they could get the belt off her was for someone else to get pinned instead in a triple threat instead of a singles match.

I approve of Taryn as KO champ, she deserves it imo.

She's awkward in the ring and little more than a stunt bumper.

I ain't down with this. Taryn is a hard worker but she really isn't any good in straight wrestling matches. She's awkward and her inexperience shows with each passing minute in the ring.
Also, some of ya'll better get ready to fight me for talking smack about my boo Gail Kim.

Wasn't her match with Rayne a few weeks back a contender for Worst Match of The Year?

She's awkward in the ring and little more than a stunt bumper. She's as you put in the Impact thread, Cactus Rack. Taryn's problem is that when put in regular matches, her greenness is exposed. Put in hardcore matches, her bumps distract you from that fact. No doubt she tries her best in matches but she is nowhere near a top worker. But considering the current state of the Knockouts, she's better than Velvet, Rebel, and Brittany so she got that bragging right.

Being better than three girls who are on par with Rosa Mendez?

I don't mind her work-rate, she can be the female Lex Luger for all I care. She's hot and because of such she matters.

Being better than three girls who are on par with Rosa Mendez? Sadly, yes. We are long past the glory days of the Knockouts. We are in that period similar to WWE when they fired a majority of the better Divas and we got left with Torrie Wilson, Dawn Marie, Stacy Kiebler, and Nadia in matches with Trish and Lita basically trying to hold it together.

What a year for her! Gives birth in March, returns to the ring in June, and wins the Knockouts title in November.

I don't even think you can call Taryn green though. She got signed by WWE in 2008 and spent around 2 years in developmental . She's also had training with OVW while in TNA. She's just not very good and I doubt she'll ever be anything more than decent.

When I say green, I mean wrestling skills wise not experience. Velvet Sky is dirt worst and she's been wrestling since the early 2000's.

She's still pretty damn awful. She throws some of the worst Clotheslines and punches I've seen. But Gail will get the title back soon enough, because for whatever reason, she can't go any extended period without the belt.
