TNA to air knockout special 

On the April 17th editon of ImpactWrestling the show will be dedicated to the knockouts divison. The title of the show will be TKO: Total Knockouts.

Let me tell you something folks, news like this makes me feel like it’s Christmas morning. The women in the knockouts divisions are something special. They’re superior athletes and some of them are the best women to ever lace up a pair of boots. If you haven’t watched anything knockout related or TNA related in general this event is the perfect day to start.

It was announced that new knockouts will debut at TKO (although no one in particular has been named in sure this will shake up the already star studded divison. Also announced we’re two matches. One of those matches being for the Knockouts title where the champion Taryn Terrell defending her title against Awesome Kong. The second match that was announced was a fatal 4 way Number 1 contenders match between Brooke Tessmatcher, Gail Kim, Angelina Love and Madison Rayne.

Based on those two matches alone I know I’m not going to want to miss this and I can tell you that if you’re a professional wrestling fan who respects women in the business just as much as the men neither are you.

Are you guys excited for this event? I know I am. What other knockout would you like to see compete? For me it would be Jessika Havok.

Remember you can catch impactwrestling on destination America every Friday at 7PT/10ET

Drew Galloway gives the fans a voice 

This past Friday on Impact Wrestling Drew Galloway cut an epic promo and when I say epic I mean epic. What’s great about this promo was you could tell that it was 100% real, something WWE should take note of. I’ve always found it more intriguing when talent is allowed cut a promo off the fly.

Now I know what you guys may be thinking. “It’s to fit the storyline that’s why he said what he said in his promo”. While that may be true it doesn’t make this promo any less real. This is coming from a guy who hated 3MB & never really got a fair chance in the WWE. This promo is clearly coming from real life frustration that Drew has delt with over the years.

Take what WWE is doing for example. It’s obvious that Reigns is the guy they want to be champion but to many of us he’s not OUR guy, and that’s what Drew is getting at. The fans should be the ones making the stars. I mean after all aren’t we the ones that buy tickets, sell out arenas, buy PPV’s and merch?? We should have a voice or voice does matter and as screen in the video Drew has no problem giving us a voice.  Drew has taken over both the impact Twitter and Facebook this weekend using the #StandUp, here are some of the things he’s said:

Another thing that struck a chord with me is that he said its Professional wrestling fans and not sports entertainment fans. We need to get back to a time where the wrestling aspect means more then the entertainment part and I think Drew is the guy to get us there. Don’t beloved me? Watch the promo for yourself.

Rumors Of Triple H Interested In Giving Samoa Joe a WWE NXT Tryout

There are rumors that Triple H has interest in giving Samoa Joe a WWE tryout for a potential run in NXT.

According to the report, Vince McMahon isn’t as interested in Joe as Triple H but there could be a push within WWE over the next few weeks to give Joe at least a tryout run.

There is no word yet if Joe is even interested in coming to WWE and working NXT.

Samoa Joe Leaving TNA

Samoa Joe announced on Twitter that he is leaving TNA Impact Wrestling.

PWInsider reports that Joe and TNA negotiated and tried to come to terms for a new deal up until the end and things remained friendly between Joe and the company. The situation was described as similar to the one that led to AJ Styles leaving TNA in 2013, where TNA was not going to be able to match what Joe had been making. TNA made a final offer and left things up to Joe.

TNA made it clear to Joe that the door would be open for a future return.

A lessor factor had to do with Joe’s departure is that TNA is looking to invest more in newer talents coming in.
