Nothing wrong with saying that. Unless you say it to her face. Lol. True. She looks like she could effortlessly pop one's head off like they're a Pringles can. So, we have Hogan debuting, Kong/Hamada vs. Sarita/Taylor, and ODB/Tara set up. Not bad from a Knockouts perspective. We also have the possibility of Joe cashing in for a big Main Event and I've heard mentions of Sting and Angelina Love returning.

Hamada really should be going for the Knockout Title, but seems like the bookers have this thing for ODB, which will be bad on Monday, as they need the new viewers to appriciate the Knockout Division, and with ODB most likely winning the belt (the classic I lost it lst week only to regain) , it will be more doing nothing with the singles title, while all potential female wrestlers that can impress new viewers like Hamada and Kong, are now stucked in Tag matches.
Just give the Tag belt to Love/Velvet! The crowd will love Love's return, and her beating the stale Wilde/Sarita team will get a good crowd response, and this will put Sarita back in the singles scene, and book Hamada to get the singles belt by beating Tara instead of ODB, and Hamada vs Alissa/ Tara/Sarita/Roxxi would be more exciting than ODB doing nuthin with the belt!

Well, unlike you, I don't see the certainty of ODB getting the belt. I'd bet on Tara.
However, those KO tag belts seem bound for Kong & Hamada. If not on 1/4, then Genesis. That team is exactly the kick in the ass the KO tag division needs.

I've never been able to stand ODB. I don't know what specifically it is, but just...meh to her and ever holding the "Knockedup" Title.
Newfound swooning aside, Hamada is extremely talented. I just wonder if she'd need a mouthpiece to make her a title contender...and if TNA's braintrust would even want to invest that much in her.

They need to start pushing new talent. The only two new Knockouts to really get a push in the last few years are Taylor Wilde (and we know how THAT turned out) and Tara. Meanwhile Daffney, Sarita, Hamada and Alissa have all come in and have most of if not all the qualities that could make them top contenders but TNA still favour thier usual rotation of challengers and champions. It's frustrating to see a division get so stale and so poorly booked when all the peices are there.
Question is with the four that I have mentioned have they already been damaged past the point of salvation. Daffney and Alissa especially.

I think Hamada is getting a push now but she could have had a good feud with Alissa but that went away after one match. Alissa could have had a few storylines along the way but really hasn't been used that consistently. It's like that with all the KO's that aren't getting in a title picture. They should do as the men and give them some time even if it means taking some of the Beautiful People's time. They obviously don't take the group seriously without Angelina, who they protected as much as they could. Though Madison had a good showing and maybe that opens some eyes for her.
My problem with Sarita is the same with Taylor. They're both good looking and should be able to put out good matches but for me it's just not happening. With Taylor, she's had moments, but never great matches where I said, "That's why she's the Golden Child."
I was disappointed that Daffney didn't get much on Kong. I thought when she crawled to the outside, she'd use that against Kong but ended up the one getting her ass kicked.

I really like Sarita and Taylor. They're like the female Rockers. ;D I think they make a great team. So do Hamada and Kong.
I really like Hamada. She's awesome. Sarita is a good singles wrestler too. I still want to see Hamada vs. Sarita in a ladder match.
I've always liked Victoria/Tara.
Believe it or not, I have yet to see ODB wrestle. I saw a clip of her on Impact tonight and she had pyro in her entrance. I thought that was cool.
TNA's womens division is beyond awesome.

Is there any program to show the show as a re-run, or do I need to check for it on some streaming site like YouTube?

With Bischoff arriving, maybe he can convince Dixie to hire his friend Sonny Ono as Hamada's mouthpiece (which will destroy any credibility Hamada build up thru her ring skills, but whatcha gonna do, brutha!).
As for Sarita, she never has mic time, so I have no idea if she is good at the mic, but I say give her a singles title hunt/run. Her mic skills gotta be better than Taylor! Taylor's push reminds me of the way The Rock was first pushed (Rocky Maivaia) and Price Iaukea, didnt work for them, and should have never been repeated. I think Taylor is a damn good wrestler, but I think in order for the crowd to accept her, she needs to turn heel!
I have to agree though, the division is gtting stale, when you have so many woman wrestlers who can be title contenders.

After the Jenna / Sharmell match and the BP mud wrestling match TNA really shouldn't take anymore shots at the WWE Divas. It's the one area they have over WWE, so they always will. A few stupid incidents, including the Cody Deaner one, don't change that this is the most respected you are going to see a women's division outside of a women's only indy.

Or in Japan, but point taken.
Good show. Three vote-winning matches and good solid action from the Knockouts.

I was disappointed that Daffney didn't get much on Kong. I thought when she crawled to the outside, she'd use that against Kong but ended up the one getting her ass kicked. This has bugged me for a while. I have the match between Kong and Daffney from the 20k dollar challenge on a DVD somewhere and there is a strong Daffney chant during the match. She hadn't been seen on TV in over 8 years at that point. Still it took Russo putting her name up for the Governor role for her to get hired. Taylor's push reminds me of the way The Rock was first pushed (Rocky Maivaia) and Price Iaukea, didnt work for them, and should have never been repeated. I think Taylor is a damn good wrestler, but I think in order for the crowd to accept her, she needs to turn heel! I was actually thinking about this today. Like The Rock maybe they should take her off TV for a bit and then bring her back under a new persona. I've been using a character in TEW who tries so hard to be loved by the crowd but ends up getting booed cause she's just such an arrogant bitch. Maybe that would work as kind of a sly nod to her failed Golden Child push.

Was looking at a report from last nights show, and the Hamada/ODB match got 15 mins. Thats with a 4 min commercial in the middle, but still, pretty darn good for a women's television match these days.

OK I had to go to Divadirt (a site I really don't like to go to because of the constant Velvet Sky hate) to get a play by play of the first three matches in the tournament since TNA hasn't uploading anything from it yet on their Youtube page.
Anyway I read that Madision Rayne had a good showing against Hamada and that Velvet Sky (who the writer seems to have a problem with because she always makes fun of her and her ring attire) did a Frog Splash.
I hate I missed Velvet's match maybe they are finally going to let her do more stuff in the ring again. They should at least give Velvet back her Hurricanrana that she use to do on a regular basis before her heel turn.

Probably the best women's match outside of Shimmer that i've seen.

Just watched this on DVR. Wow what an insane amount of commercials. That must've been hell to sit through that as it aired.
