Velvet retains against Tara & will now move onto Lockdown to defend against Gail Kim

A Double knocks out Hernandez (with either a chain or brass knuckles, I couldn't get a good look) he and Roode will defend in a triple tag team match against Bad Influence and Chavo & Hernandez at Lockdown

Team TNA look good.

Ivellise Valez (not sure on the spelling) defeated Lei D Tapa with a front guillotine choke - both competitors looked impressive Valez relying on her MMA background to topple the much larger Tapa. Tapa was very reminiscent of her uncle The Barbarian, and may have had the match won after a samoan drop but didn't hook the leg

**flame3169118** · 03-01-2013, 03:05 AM

Bully & Hardy with good win over Bad Influence

Angle attacks Aces & 8's in their own clubhouse, he unmasks the Vice President and asks how he could do this to TNA (unfortunately we don't get to see who it is, we'll have to wait until next week or maybe even Lockdown, my guess is D'Lo) after which the rest of the group attacks him to end the show

Does anyone else get a feel of Bash at the Beach 96 in the air?

**Shockage** · 03-03-2013, 02:14 PM

Exciting cliffhanger at the end with Angle discovering who's the masked member.

Hernandez/Aries, hot damn! Different styles make for exciting matches, then followed by RVD/KENNY KANG!!!

lol @ Joseph Park eating and enjoying ribs, Sting asks Joseph "You know what a rib is now, right?" then Joseph embarrassingly replies (while chewing), "yes, Sting. I know what a rib is"

Mmmm'mmmmmm Ivalice Valez!!! This isn't the yummy Latina I remember from Tough Enough. The Ivalice I remember from Tough Enough was blonde, other than her name had mentioned no acknowledge of being Latina, she was basically a blonde WWhitEy. I'm so happy that she went with her delicious roots and reverted to her natural black hair which brought out her eyes, her cultural looks and her feisty spirit. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Lei'D Tapa was another Pacific Islander (niece of the Barbarian), and I enjoyed the difference in style and size between Tapa and Ivalice which made for a pretty good match.

Team TNA look strong, hearing Joe and Storm's theme songs as they came out really helped with the excitement of the crowd.

It would be unrealistic, but I hope both girls get offered a contract. The KO division was founded on diversity and talent. The talent will evolve with experience. The obvious fact that Ivelisse and Tapa were different in background and styles helped make the match good, also good that both women were allowed to honour their beautiful cultures. I noticed how nicely Tapa executed that beautiful singing boot similar to how the Barbarian did it.

AJ, you need DDP Yoga as well

**Mr. Tambourine Man** · 03-07-2013, 07:34 PM

I totally think AJ Styles is going to be the foil to Aces & Eights the same way Sting was to nWo in 1997. He's gonna tease allegiance with the group and then when the time comes he's going to start terrorizing them until finally it's him vs. the leader at BFG 2013.

I doubt it, TNA writers aren't that smart
