SoLong SoCal Val

[Error]

Another TNA Knockout has been released.

TNA mainstay SoCal Val tweeted tonight that she has parted ways with the company, simply saying that she is no longer with TNA:

Thank u #ImpactWrestling ,the lockerroom & esp the fans for 9 wonderful years. No longer w the company. Really excited 2 see what's NEXT! ??

The reason behind her release isn’t yet known, but given TNA’s recent string of releases – Tara, Madison Rayne and Brooke Hogan among them – it’s likely that this was yet another cost cutting move.

SoCal Val had been with TNA for nine years, making her television debut in 2006 as a valet before transitioning to a backstage role.

Now who will stand around and do all of...whatever she did?

Wow. This is as significant as getting rid of Dave Penzer a few years ago. They were both TNA Originals.


Yes, I consider these releases significant.


Curious what her backstage role was, as last time (oh hell, almost every time) I saw her she was playing the random ringside attendant role.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Dammit, I liked her too.

Technically, Jeremy Borash is the TNA Original Announcer.

Also, weird since, as far as I know, she was doing the new podcast and the house show vids.

And I blame Black Machismo for this. HARLOT!

I love Val, she will be missed.

Fingers crossed that Christy isn't next.

Given how much she's rumoured to make, it might be for the best that she is released.

[Djm Doesn't Find You Funny]

My favorite TNA female personality of all time. Loved Val. I hope she does well for herself, wherever she lands.

I don't ever remember seeing her on Impact. She is kinda dead weight so I'm not surprised really.

I'm just going to put this out there: I think that Panda has told Dixie that she cant loose a certain amount of money or they will fold TNA. So Dixie is sacking everyone she can to reduce costs.

You're next, TNA Spanish Announce Team.

She's not really dead weight. She contributes nothing for TV, but she did a lot for the Internet and also did a lot of grunt work. Hell, she did more to earn her keep than most of Aces & Eights.

My money is on Chavo next. With the added hilarity of him ending up back in the WWE jobbing to both Hornswoggle and Mascarita Dorada

What gets a more positive reaction: the release of Brooke Hogan or Chavo? Toss-up.

No one took a jacket better than her. Also, she gave the pervy cameraman his first big break. Remember when she'd stand on the ramp and they'd do those camera pans through her legs and right at her ass? Memories.

[Rave]

Would've fired Christy and moved Val up to ring announce Impact (she already did it for Xplosion). Damnit TNA.

[velvetsthong]

Oh noz! Frying pan face girl is gone? So sad.....not really.

[jimmyjames]

I think SoCal Val is beautiful, but what did she do? Serious question. All I've ever seen her do the last 4 years is sitting at ringside.

[Essential1]

She will do ok I think. Perfect face for radio..

[Old Jack Burton]

For those wondering what it was Val did, she was TNA's hype woman. It was her job to come out and warm up the crowd, give away action figures, and keep up the excitement between commercials.
