Didn't see a thread on this and wanted to make a brief comment anyway, so... TNA has signed former WCW star Daffney to a contract. She had been playing the "Governor" for some time. [Credit: Pwinsider.com via 411mania.com]
I'm glad she's officially been signed. At the WCW House Show I went to in January of 2000... in front of maybe 100 or so people, Daffney was one of the few that seemed genuinely enthused to be out there (along with Crowbar and 3 Count). When I yelled "Daffney... I love you!", she smiled and screamed at me which was worth the ticket price alone. I also exchanged some brief emails with her as I got her autograph a year or so back and keep up with her myspace some and she seems like a geninuinely nice person and a fan of the business. So kudos to TNA and Russo for finding a spot for her and bringing her in. (side note: as much as people bash Russo, and I'll admit I do so jokingly from time to time... he's definitely one of the best at finding stuff for talent to do)

It's not her fault the gimmick is awful. Even if they don't know what to do with them, TNA makes some excellent hiring choices with women wrestlers.

You mean she had been working without an actual contract???
Missed oppurtunity WWE to steal one away from TNA.

Well, since she's under contract, here's hoping they drop the Governor and have her go back to being just Daffney.

Hopefully she can be Daffney, but sadly I think this "Governor" gimmick is sticking. Still a good signing by TNA.

PLEASE let her morph back into Daffney. Her being wasted on this Governor crap and Melissa being put under a burqa make me very sad. They can just forget about it and let her reveal who she really is, because they've even acknowledged onscreen that it was a fake.
As for Melissa, they should take Kong off air so she can heal from her injuries, and in the meantime write out Raisha Saeed and bring her back as the cheerleader we love.

She is a good get, a legit worker that has stuck with the biz through thick and thin. Since she's officially long-term now I'd hope they change her back to Daffney soon.
Melissa needs to be Melissa, or at-least make Said more than a mouthpiece that occasionally jobs.

Daffney is cute as hell so this is a good pickup in my eyes. I was annoyed by the "Governor" stuff but then I just looked at the bright side; she wears the outfit well.

Why would you guys say things like this?! You know Russo is combing the 'nets. He'll probably read these complaints and have her keep playing Palin just out of spite.
So, uh...I LOVE THIS GIMMICK! Yeah.

She needs to segue into an Octo-Mom gimmick.

Great for her, but I really wish they'd let her be "Daffney". My opinion on it.

Good job TNA.
Now to drop that Governor gimmick......idk how they can even do it in a logical manner.
