This title recently turned 10 years old and since its November To Remember month on my blog where i am covering wrestling all month! Next few days are dedicated to tna and today's list see's us walking down knockout lane!
10) Rosemary - As of writing she is the most recent knockout champion to be on this list. Rosemary is such a unique yet very interesting and diabolical and she captured my heart since her debut in the ring because her skills, look and moves are quite frankly impressive and i wish her reign lasted longer but hey oh, here we are now wishing the hive gets more gold.
9) Velvet Sky - LET THE PIGEONS LOOSE! Oh yes Velvet Sky is a girl everyone should know along with her fellow beautiful people members. She has beauty and braun, she is wicked in the ring to boot. Velvet Sky is perhaps one of the most talented women that TNA have ever acquired. She is also attractive which also adds to the reason why WWE have wanted to sign her for the past few years. Velvet was part of The Beautiful People along with Angelina Love and Madison Rayne for many years. It was during this time that she became Knockout’s Tag Team Champion. She had a run with TNA that lasted almost a decade and saw her become a two-time Knockout’s Champion. She has been in some deeply personal feuds with the likes of Mickie James and Winter as well as briefly in a relationship with Chris Sabin. She was a firm fan favourite throughout her career but decided to leave the company back in 2016.
8) Brooke Tessmacher - I miss, Ms.Tessmacher she started as an assistant to Eric Bischoff but then let her hair down to become a 3 time KO Champ. Entertaining in the rings with beauty and grace she's a tough cookie also. Brooke Tessmacher has definitely changed a lot since her time with WWE and Extreme Expose. She made the switch over to TNA where it seems she was taken much more seriously. She is a former TNA Knockout’s Champion and TNA Knockout’s Tag Team Champion from her time teaming with fellow former WWE star Tara as TnT.
7) Awesome Kong - The ground shakes as one of the most dominant forces enters the list. Yes it is AWESOME KONG! She is unreal and a 2 time KO Champion! Just raw strength no one has seen anyone like her and i miss her in tna. If her short and rather embarrassing run in WWE is forgotten, Kong has had a great wrestling career. Even though TNA dropped the ball with her during ODB’s Knockout’s title reign back in 2009, she was still given a lot of opportunities and when she left TNA back in 2010 she was a two-time Knockouts Champion. She did return to the company briefly in 2015 but was released from the company after an altercation with Reby Hardy during TNA’s UK tour the following year.
6) Mickie James - Oh Mickie you're so fine being here on my list. It's a surprise Mickie did not hold the title more times than the 3 time charmer did. She is as good as you expect still and she was kicking ass while making her country music debut. There is a reason WWE decided to resign Mickie James earlier this year. She is one of the best female wrestlers that WWE has ever had and she is the only female wrestler to have held the Women’s, Divas ,and Knockouts Championships. Mickie has proved herself in both top wrestling companies and has always risen to the top. While there was a lot of speculation regarding her release from WWE, she is still considered to be one of the best wrestlers on the circuit. Mickie is incredible in the ring and can deliver promos on the mic as well. She proved that she can work as a credible face and heel and has managed to do both successfully in both companies. She has recently signed a three-year deal with WWE, so hopefully, the company is much more creative with her this time around.
5) ODB - She's a no nonsense woman who wont back down from a fight and this is why she was a 4 time knocked up champion....in her words. ODB was unique. She was the kind of female who made no apologies for not acting or even looking like a female should. She was a beer drinking, monster truck driving Superstar and she rode that wave all the way to the TNA Knockout’s Championship. She was never going to be the greatest female wrestler of all time, but her addition to the roster gave a lot of other females hope. After training in OVW, she answered the call from TNA rather than wait for WWE and it is thought that she made the right decision. WWE wouldn’t know what to do with someone like ODB. At least TNA gave her a fair chance and proved that she did have a lot of talent despite the fact that she didn’t look or act like your typical female wrestler.
4) Tara - A 5 time champion Tara held the title for a combined length of 222 days! She managed to win the Knockouts Championship in TNA and even feuded with former WWE rival Mickie James after she joined the brand. Tara was the perfect heel when it came to helping any babyface build on their character and was one of the backbones of the company for a very long time until her release. The current Knockouts Division are missing someone like Tara.
3) Madison Rayne - The 5 time champion with 404 days held with the title. Any wrestling fan who is asked to name a TNA Knockout will probably say Madison Rayne or Angelina Love or even Velvet Sky because all three were part of The Beautiful People, a team that took over TNA and helped Madison rise to fame. Over the past eight years, she has managed to become a TNA Knockout’s Champion five times and a Tag Team Knockout’s Champion as well. She was also the first person to hold both titles simultaneously. Madison is a fan favourite, but she has become one of the biggest stars in TNA throughout her career. Her matches were always solid and she always played her character to perfection. Madison has helped the Knockout’s Division as much as Kim has over the past few years and her accomplishments pretty much speak for themselves.
2) Angelina Love - Tying with the number one spot if the 6 time champion Angelina Love! She is a record tying (along with Gail Kim) six-time Knockout’s Champion and one of the faces of Impact’s Knockout’s Division. Her time with The Beautiful People established her heel character and proved that she is a great character wrestler.
1) Gail Kim - A staggering 6 time (as of writing) KO champion with a combined title reign of 710 days it is the girl who keeps switching sides Gail Kim! Why did i say the girl who keeps switching sides? Well she has jumped wwe to tna back and fore a few times. She is credited as being the women who made the Knockout’s Division as popular and successful as it was a few years ago. Gail has feuded with the likes of Tara, Velvet Sky, Brooke Tessmacher, and ODB over the past few years and has been part of TNA’s best female matches over the past decade. She is a record setting six-time Knockout’s Champion and is widely considered to be the best female wrestler in the world. Gail became the first ever female inductee in the TNA Hall of Fame back in 2016 and after taking some time away from TNA she returned in January 2017 and by the time this list emerges she could well be a 7 time Knockout Champion!
Alright, thanks for stopping by and seeing my list today, come back again soon for more!
STAY SHINY!
