Laurel Van Ness TNA

Laurel Van Ness has changed a lot since she first appeared on TNA, Impact Wrestling, Global Force Wrestling, whatever they call it now.
Laurel Van Ness (Chelsea Anne Green) had an on-screen relationship with Braxton Sutter, but then got rejected by him during their wedding when he professed that he was in love with Allie (Braxton's wife in real life).
She then started her crazy gimmick, wearing a trashed wedding dress, smeared make-up and carrying a wine bottle.

Gail Kim Returns to TNA

Gail Kim Returns to TNA
http://beautiful-wrestling.blogspot.com/

I'm not too proud to admit it.
Just a few days after I posted that Gail Kim had officially left the WWE and that I thought she wouldn't go to TNA, she showed up on TNA.


http://www.impactwrestling.com/

Yeah I guess I should have seen it coming, but I just assumed she'd be getting ready for her Spring wedding with the Food Network’s Robert Irvine and wrestling would be on the back burner.
Gail returned on October 20th, on Impact Wrestling, jumping TNA Women's Knockout Champion Velvet Sky from behind and placing herself firmly in the Karen Jarrett/Madison Rayne circle.
In short order Gail beat Tara and...well if you have internet access, you know she and Madison Rayne are gonna beat Brooke Tessmacher and Tara for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship.



So now Gail is a WWE Diva/TNA Knockout/WWE Diva/TNA Knockout and has held both the TNA Women's Knockout Championship and the WWE Women's Championship.
And she increases the WWE/TNA cross-over women's division that now consists of Gail, Brooke Tessmacher (Brooke Adams), Jackie Moore, Mickie James, Tara (Lisa Marie Varon) and Winter (Katarina Waters).



And to my added joy, they brought Gail in as a Heel.
Okay, some people like Gail as a Face, but I much prefer the "Evil Gail".

TNA: Gail Kim 2

And number 12 was Gail Kim......

Gail Kim (born February 20, 1976 ) is a Korean Canadian professional wrestler, valet, and actress. Kim is perhaps best known for her appearances with World Wrestling Entertainment between October 2002 and November 2004. She is currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

On September 6, 2005, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling announced that they had signed Gail Kim to a contract.

On the October 8, 2005 edition of TNA iMPACT!, Kim made her debut, aligning herself with Jeff Jarrett and America's Most Wanted by attacking Team 3D. Shortly thereafter, she helped AMW regain the NWA World Tag Team Championship from The Naturals. On November 26, Kim was attacked by the debuting Jackie Gayda. She spent the remainder of the year and early 2006 filming her part in the film "Royal Kill" before returning to TNA and rekindling her feud with Gayda.

Between February and April, Kim was the guardian of Jackie Gayda, who had been blackmailed into joining the Planet Jarrett stable. The two women frequently fought one another during matches featuring members of Planet Jarrett as Gayda attempted to cost them the match. Gayda was "fired" by Kim at TNA Sacrifice 2006 on May 14, after announcing that she was pregnant.

On May 15, 2006 in Orlando, Florida, Kim wrestled Traci in a dark match to be featured on the TNA Knockouts DVD. The match was the first women's match in TNA in over a year and Kim's first match on American soil since her WWE release. Since then, Kim was attacked at TNA Slammiversary 2006 by Sirelda. The weeks after this, the two traded blows until TNA Victory Road 2006, where Sirelda's team defeated Kim's team. At TNA Hard Justice 2006, they faced off against each other in a one-on-one match, which Kim won.

On the October 19, 2006 iMPACT!, Kim was (kayfabe) injured in the ring by Hernandez when he gave her a Bordertoss following a loss in an eight man tag match where Latin American Exchange (Hernandez and Homicide) teamed with America's Most Wanted. At Genesis 2006, America's Most Wanted lost to LAX after James Storm was hit with a blowtorch can. After the match, Homicide tried to use Da Gringo Killa on her, but she was saved by Petey Willams, who beat LAX with a lead pipe.

At Final Resolution 2006, Kim accompanied James Storm who defeated Petey Williams with his feet on the ropes. However, she helped Williams from further assault by taking Storm's infamous beer bottle out of his hand and giving him a low blow. Kim was then jumped from behind by a returning Jacqueline Moore, who became Storm's new manager. In response, Kim became Williams' new manager.

After a mixed tag match between Kim and Williams against Storm and Moore at Against All Odds 2007, "the Wildcat" Chris Harris returned to chase away both Storm and Moore. At TNA Lockdown Gail defeated Moore in a TNA Cat Fight Steel cage match after a flying crossbody pin from the cage.

TNA Knockout - SoCal Val

SoCal Val

Do you know that SoCal Val has been with TNA since 2006?
And really...what have they done with her?

Valerie Elizabeth Wyndham is an American pro wrestling valet, better known by her ring name, SoCal Val.
SoCal was born on March 27th, 1986 in Beverly Hills, California and is currently signed to TNA Wrestling.

After she was "discovered" while attending a local wrestling event, Valerie debuted on March 30th, 2002 for the Golden State Championship Wrestling independent wrestling promotion as the manager of Pinoy Boy, who she promptly betrayed by berating him after he was defeated by Scott Lost and then leaving with Lost. She appeared for several other promotions in Southern California before her family moved across the country to Orlando, Florida when she was sixteen. Valerie developed the character of SoCal Val.

In addition to working for multiple independent promotions, Valerie has appeared with WWE, modelling a John Cena t-shirt on WWE.com and appearing on WWE SmackDown! as part of a vignette featuring Luther Reigns. She regularly appears with the Orlando based promotion TNA Wrestling, working variously as a ring girl, spokesmodel, merchandise model and interviewer. She appeared at the TNA No Surrender 2005 pay-per-view on July 17th, 2005 alongside ring announcer Jeremy Borash, and is currently an interviewer on TNA Global Impact!.

Valerie continues to work for promotions throughout Southern California, most prominently Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, where she was the commissioner at one point. It was there, when Joey Ryan Superkicked her in the face, she developed a fear of feet (kayfabe). This became a prominent feature in her storyline with Francine Fournier, while resulted in a Kiss My Foot Match which Valerie lost.

In August of 2006, SoCal Val officially signed with TNA, she will appear more frequently on television, and be involved in more storylines.
On August 18, 2006 So Cal Val got kicked out by the Women Extreme Wrestling promotion at their PPV Tapings event Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal.
On the December 14, 2006 episode of iMPACT, Kurt Angle dragged her in the ring and threatened to break her ankle until Jim Cornette talked him into letting her go.
On the March 8, 2007 episode of iMPACT, So Cal Val got injured after receiving the Black Hole Slam from Abyss.
From 2008 to 2009, she was the on-screen girlfriend of Jay Lethal and actually had a storyline.
In 2009 she was involved in an altercation between Awesome Kong and Tara.
In 2010, she began working as the ring announcer on TNA Xplosion.

I think Val may wind up being the "Lilian Garcia" of TNA.

Christina Lee ("Christy") Hemme is an American model and pro wrestler. Christy , best known for her appearances with wrestling promotions WWE and TNA Wrestling.

Christy debuted in TNA Wrestling on April 23th, 2006 at Lockdown 2006, giving an envelope to commentator Mike Tenay containing the announcement that Larry Zbyszko had been placed on probation and Raven (whom Zbyszko had fired earlier that year in kayfabe) had been reinstated. In addition to her hosting role on TNA iMPACT!, she is also the co-host of the Internet show TNA Global iMPACT! with Jeremy Borash. At TNA Hardcore War, Christy refereed a match between Traci and Gail Kim. In July 2006, she was featured on Spike TV's Women of Action special.

In September 2006, Christy recorded a song entitled "Society Box", which will be featured on TNA's November 21, 2006 music release, 3rd Degree Burns. She has also been travelling to Windsor, Ontario to train under TNA agent Scott D'Amore in between TNA TV tapings. She won TNA's Knockout of the Year for 2006.

On January 14, 2007 at the TNA Final Resolution PPV, Christy came out and interrupted the Voodoo Kin Mafia and cut a promo about women's involvement in wrestling today. She said that she wanted to wrestle too - and the mostly male crowd in the TNA arena jeered her. Kip James called her names, which garnered him a slap from Christy, while BG James attempted to play peacemaker.

In the following weeks, Kip and Christy would be shown getting into a fair few arguments over his lack of respect for her, and for women as a whole. Christy made her TNA in-ring debut at TNA Against All Odds where she wrestled and defeated "The Big Fat Oil Guy" in a Tuxedo Match.

On the March 8 version of Impact, Christy asked Jim Cornette for a match pitting VKM against her a new, previously undisclosed, team, at TNA Destination X. Cornette consented and "booked the match" in storyline. On the pay-per-view, Christy introduced The Heartbreakers (formerly The Heart Throbs of the WWE). Despite Christy's attempts to give Kip James a "low blow", VKM defeated her team, who she later browbeat at ringside.

In November 2006, Christy participated in the Queens of Chaos shows in Paris, France. She wrestled two matches, losing to former WCW talent April Hunter. She then defeated British wrestler Minx to earn the right to referee the championship match, which was eventually won by Hunter.

Christy made her acting debut in the film Fallen Angels (2006).
