I for one, am happy for Lei'd Tapa. It would have been a shame to cut either one of these Knockouts but personally, I'm happy they stuck with Tapa. She definitely stands out from the rest of the herd and I can't wait to see how she'll fare with the other ladies.
The crowd wanted Ive last week and now they are showing it again. Again if judging talent is just based on those three they need to replace them ASAP. They have passed up on Joey Ryan, Evan Markopolous who for an 18 year old was pretty good and could have been molded to be a TNA guy, and Kris Lewie. However they decide to sign guys like Alex Silva, Sam Shaw, and Taeler Hendrix. In my opinion none of which will be big for TNA. Maybe Silva and Shaw can be successful in the tag team division, but I don't see them being that big for anything other than that.Quote:

I am officially disappointed with Gutcheck.
Me too. Hopefully they still bring Ive in some way- like they brought in Joey Ryan. Ive shined in the farce that was TE in its last season and if not hurt, I believe she would have made it to the final 3 at least. How TNA could pass on her too- God only knows. Lei-D- just way too green as you say TDA. With more training she indeed could be a new Kong- but she is nowhere near than point. Plus she kind of sucks on the mic- they should keep her as a silent monsterQuote:

well i will say one thing- if anybody could make Tapa better in the ring its TNA- look at Brooke Tessmacher, hell look at all the ladies who were not named Gail Kim, Dafney, Cheerleader Melissa, Mickie James, Victoria, Kong, and Sarita. TNA gave ladies like Velvet Sky, Angelina Love, Madison Rayne, Rosita, Taylor Wylde, Chrissie Hemme and many others a spot to grow and put on some damn good matches. If only WWE did that today. Still it was stupid to pass on Ive
First WWE dropped the ball and let Ivelisse go then TNA has dropped the ball. Hopefully she does in fact get signed down the road. I found it interesting that Tazz when doing commentary brought up a few times about her getting cut. Maybe she'll show up in Aces and Eights as their female knockout. One thing Aces and Eights is missing is a female.
yeah i heard Tazz say something but thought nothing of it- but that is a great idea- i hope they do it- she def would fit in with a hot biker chick look. Still surprises me that Tapa got in even with, i believe, Danny Davis saying how green she was.
