No, Gail is head and shoulders above them in ring work and charisma. TBP Were awful.

No... The Beautiful People were responsible for the division becoming the exact thing it was suppose to stand against, little more than eye candy and people with no clue what to do in the ring. They ran it alright, ran it straight into the ground Still better than the discount TBP that was LayCool. Can't agree, McCool actually improved in the ring, while Velvet regressed and Angelina was average at best.

I don't get it, Kim actually buried tna in an interview calling the company unprofessional and that the pay was shit, then she returns gets pushed above everyone. If anyone wants to get a major push by tna they should just shit on the company then

Yeah before them there were the pretty mean sisters, and before that there probably was someone else. Hell, Kevin Sullivan admitted that every heel has stole from The Sheik. Sheik, according to Sullivan, had a valet before anyone, also a manager with Eddie Creachman, the fireball, amongst other things, and Sheik probably stole all of it from someone else.

As much as Gail gets a lot of hate around here now - which I don't personally get but I can't judge having not watched Impact in at least 2 years - but she definitely deserves the nod over TBP. The Knockouts Division was huge for TNA when it first got started and Gail's matches with Kong put that division on the map. She is (or should be, not sure what they've had her doing over the past couple of years) the TNA Knockout equivalent of John Cena.

Well he definitley wasn't the first to have a valet, Gorgeous George had that and there were people using valets that pre-dated even him - just he made it popular because he had the whole entertainment aspect down to a fine art.

If anyone wants to get a major push by tna they should just shit on the company then It all comes down to they knew she wasn't going back to WWE after the last visit. When they needed her she bolted for the money in WWE(I don't blame her there) and was mad at how they used her. Keep in mind that she knew coming in this was when the state of the division in WWE was at it's most horrible. I'm pretty sure Dixie believes Gail is the greatest womens wrestler ever.

Eric Clapton, Smells like Teen Spirit came out tail end of 1991 and while it was extremely popular Nirvana didn't hit it really big until early 92. that's also not getting into things like if they got to playing music because of technical ability or raw energy. Because as much as I love him Kurt wasn't one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Or hell maybe the kid is a classic rock fan and listened to George Harrison or Jimmy Hendrix. But I digress, outside of the very broad terminology of Laycool and the Beautiful People being catty mean girl characters (being called as such from a popular main stream movie) they weren't that similar.
