What does her past as an adult entertainer have to do with anything? Even more, why does YOUR OPINIONS on her past as an adult entertainer have to do with her as a wrestling entertainer? From what I know about Trina, she's been trying to get in the business for sometime now and has expressed passion and desire for it. Seems to me that she's someone who has the potential to be pretty good. I'm looking forward to her start and maybe people should just, I dunno, let her get going before deciding that the "lack of sexual mystique" is enough for one to not like what she does in or around a wrestling ring. My opinion alone on her past means nothing, you are right. You are also right that her past in porn should have no bearing on any future wrestling career in TNA, but that does not change the fact that her porn career is there. Many fans may not know about it, but a quick search of her name from a fan that see’s her on TNA and wishes to find out more about her will come across some dodgy links and soon spread the word. If she is a decent in ring talent and promo she can escape the ‘Oh look, it’s a pornstar in wrestling’ novelty and build herself up to be somebody who has something to offer, all I am saying is if she lacks good wrestling ability and promo skills and she is solely going to rely on sex appeal to get her over, well she may have a problem with that as unlike most women in the business there is a lot of her already out there on the internet for all to see. I’ll be giving her a chance, I don’t wish to judge her or write off her chances, but if I was a promoter for a mainstream company and had the choice between bringing in A) Pretty woman with average promo and wresting skills, a few glamour photo shoots and magazine covers or B) Pretty woman with average promo and wrestling skills who also has a well documented history in hardcore pornography that somebody can come across online within a few mouse clicks….Well I know I would go for option A every time, It’s not personal, just from a money making and marketing perspective. This is nothing personal to Trina Michaels, If I was running a company like old school ECW or XPW I’d be quick to snap her up, Porn stars in wrestling can work…I just don’t think WWE and TNA are the places for them. I think Vince McMahon would agree.

You make some good points however it can also be argued that candice did porn (said movies can be found through google)and was the wwe womens champion There are 3 sets of mickie james porno type pictures again easily found through google melina, gail kim, maryse, tiffany matt striker have all taken their clothes off at some point or another and all can be found on the internet- you mentioned jasmine st clair- she also had a brief stint on TNA there are many girls on the indy circuit who havnt done any kind of nude/porn prior to wrestling, whay are they not picked? why is it ok to pick someone who has "some nude pictures"?

There is a HUGE difference between what those people did and what you will find if you do a search for Trina Michaels. I just think there are much more talented TRAINED wrestlers who can wrestle and work a crowd that TNA should look at before Trina.

I just think there are much more talented TRAINED wrestlers who can wrestle and work a crowd that TNA should look at before Trina. Exactly, The only name on that list who did anything close to the extreme work of Trina Michaels is Jasmine st claire, she did appear in the early days of TNA but early Nashville based NWA:TNA was a much smaller animal that was still trying to find it's identity and place in the Wrestling world. The TNA of today markets itself as a global touring mainstream company. I dont think bringing in ex porn stars is the way to go if they really want to be seen as credible competition to the WWE.

She got Dave Prazak'd? That seems appropriate for wrestling. < receives memo > Oh right, DP as in the other DP. Nevermind.

Trina Michaels is second rate. The only reason she made a career in porn is because she was willing to have "Gauntlet Matches", KnowImsayin'?

Candice has done girl on girl porn and 3 way sex-obviously i cannot post the links here but google is your friend What you're referencing is softcore stuff that airs on movie stations. Go to a streaming porn site and type in Trina Michaels...we're talking full on, hardcore, DP's, anal, facials...it's a completely different animal. If you put her on your roster you better never say you're kid friendly because simply searching her name will get you some very raunchy stuff. Personally I don't have a problem with sex or porn but alot of people in this country do so the perception of having her on your roster won't be a good thing.

"This is not FAIR.....YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING FAIR!" Fine, I'll be "fair." I've heard some wrestler's have attitudes at times and don't like doing the j - o - b. At least we know she doesn't mind being on her back. Seriously, if TNA wants to hire a new female, just go to a Shimmer show where there are plenty of very talented females that KNOW about ring psychology and how to cut a promo.

I've met Trina, she's a very nice girl and I hope she does well wherever she goes.

I doubt they're hiring her as just another new talent. If they simply wanted a new female wrestler, they'd probably do just that. I'd imagine they're hiring Trina Michaels because of her past career and to add some instant notoriety to her character. Don't forget. These people hired Pac-Man Jones.

dunno why people are making such a big fuss about her doing porn. if tna was even remotely concerned about being family friendly, they wouldnt have women doing thumbtack spots at their events.
trina needs to replace madison in tbp. now.
