[markymark]

Not surprised...wish they let her do the twitch commercial breaks instead of Melissa.

Lol

And a big whoopie do in response.

Knew she was going back there once she left ROH. She was the only one aside from Gail who was booked to be invincible

Poor girl, being in tna and married to Josh.

Always someone worse off than yourself

Being in the WOH locker room was far worse for the looks of it

Impact Wrestling announced that Madison Rayne has signed a multi-year deal to return to the company, just a week after she received a requested release from Ring of Honor.

Rayne requested a release over issues with her planned creative in the company. PWInsider.com is told that Rayne had pitched a number of ideas for herself, including a Beautiful People reunion for the promotion, bringing in Angelina Love (who worked in ROH during the early stages of her career) and Velvet Sky. When the creative pitches ended up shot down, Rayne requested a release.

ROH then offered an alternative idea, where the People would return but Rayne would be attacked and feud with the group, which would instead add at least one new member in Mandy Leon and perhaps others. Rayne turned down the creative and again asked for a release. The release was amicably granted.

This idea in Impact would work if they have Tessa going over all of the KOs original(Taryn mentioned weeks ago she wants to wrestle again).

TBF, ROH's idea sounds better than Madison's. Rayne was always the kinda odd person out between the original BP, so it's continuity at play. Plus they're always going to be high on Mandy Leon, and she'd fit in perfectly with the group. So having Madison actually be the betrayed babyface sounds like it would have been a better position for her. But it sounds like she wanted to be heel, so whatever.

ROH idea sounded better

[Rave]

Figures ROH would try to piggyback some nepotism on that idea.

Wasn't she pretty much killed off when she left Impact the last time, though? It'll be fun seeing if they try to explain that.

Mandy Leon in the BP sounds awkward as hell, Tenille would fit better but she is already in a stable.

They could bring back Madison as an undead braid, and become Su Yung official minion.

Beautiful People are a crutch

The Horrific People are the reason the Knockout division went down the toilet

Mismanagement and booking.

BP pretty much becoming female NWO, the shitty treatment the likes of Roxxi, Daffney, Jazzy got, overusing Gail Kim( I liked when she overshadowed Velvet though because she was terrible), managament refusing to sign KLR and Nikki Cross, etc.

All three were some of the worst female talent ever, Divas era 2011 bad

Angelina is auch a weird case. There are matches where she looks to be a top worker and matches where she’s not good at all.

Madison is a solid hand with some good matches, but definitely not as good as her accolades imply.

Velvet just straight up isn’t good, and has never been.

[markymark]

In the ring, Madison is decent, good matches with Taya, Tessa, Mercedes Martinez, the issue last year was her character, she mentioned on twitch that she wont use the mom character anymore which is a relief. I think she will be a heel because no one bothered to rescue her from the Undead Realm.

"Your idea of bringing your old stable back sounds neat, but wouldn't it be cooler if we brought back your stable but without you in it, and Mandy Leon instead?" sounds like exactly the kind of creative direction that's had me feeling so unbelievably lukewarm about WOH from the moment it started. God, with how iffy ROH is and with how undercooked their womens' division is I honestly feel like going to TNA is more of a lateral move than one might think.

For the female talent it definitely is. Choice between being fed to a returning Gail Hogan or.... whatever that WOH thing was....at least losing to Gail will be featured.
