Wrestlicious Premiers March 1st, 2010

I did my first entry on Wrestlicious back in March of last year, and after a lot of trials, tribulations, second guessing and anticipation....the all female wrestling show, Wrestlicious Takedown, begins airing on March 1st, 2010.
Yes Wrestlicious will finally be on the air.
Although (after all this time you KNOW there had to be an although) it seems neither Bright House or Dish Network are listing Wrestlicious in the 11PM ET time slot on Monday March 1st.
In the famous words of The Hurricane..."What's up with that?"

Originally I had heard that MavTV would air its shows in the United States, and the wrestling promotion would air on Bite TV in Canada.
I had also heard that Wrestlicious TakeDown would be syndicated nationally via America One. (http://americaone.com).

But, according to 411 mania.com, MavTV has confirmed the "Takedown" series will air at 11PM ET.

I've been waiting for this for almost a year now....I hope everything falls into place.

J.V...I'm wishing you all the best!

Wrestling News and Rumors: Awesome Kong, Velvet Sky, Traci Brooks and More

http://www.tnawrestling.com/

Is Awesome Kong still in TNA?
Well as of right now yes.
According to just about every source on the Web, Kong requested her release from TNA, but TNA denied it.
Where I thought this had to do with the Bubba the Love Sponge incident, it seems it goes deeper.
Kong appears to be upset over the amount of money the wrestling promotion is shelling out for new talent, while they tell her and the other Knockouts they cant get raises.

You know TNA, this is a really good way to lose talent.
Yeah Kong and the others can still wrestle for you, but they can also sleepwalk through wrestling matches, and give lackluster performances.
The last thing TNA needs is a mass exodus of female wrestling talent to the WWE.
Youve already lost Trenesha Biggers (Rhaka Khan), Lauren Brooke, Josette Bynum (Sojo Bolt), Jacqueline Moore, Jenna Morasca, Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman and Alissa Flash (Cheerleader Melissa) in about a years time.
Okay some were not that big of a loss, but some were.
Excessive turnover is not a good thing for the fans.

Pay these "veterans" what they are worth and get that TNA Knockout show (that you have been talking about since 2008) up and running.

And in other TNA Knockout news, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky will both be appearing in an upcoming issue of the UK's FHM Magazine.
They did a shoot while they were on the recent tour of England.
Unfortunately Lacey Von Erich wasn't in the photoshoot because she didnt go.
You may recall that Angelina Love and Velvet were in a Muscle and Fitness magazine awhile back.

One of the biggest (if not the biggest ) wrestling rumors at the moment is the Traci Brooks / Frankie Kazarian story.
I really am not gonna go into all that here.
I just wanted an excuse to post this pic of Traci in a blue bikini from TNA.
