01/03/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, Florida - ODB vs, Roxxi Leveaux, Jackie Moore, Awesome Kong, Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, Christy Hemme, and Ms. Brooks
Angelina Love comes out first and Ms. Brooks mopes her way down to the ring second, and the two have a nice exchange. Jackie Moore comes down and she and Ms. Brooks briefly work together before turning on each other. Love is on the ropes when Velvet Sky comes in and makes the save. That save would have felt more significant if Jackie Moore and Ms. Brooks hadn't turned on each other - sometimes the little details matter. They work together and dominate until Christy comes in with a Cross Body Block off the top rope. Christy hits a brutal looking Inverted DDT on Velvet Sky. ODB comes out to perhaps the loudest response of the night and eliminates Ms. Brooks. Roxxi Leveaux comes out next. Awesome Kong comes out last and immediately eliminates Velvet Sky and Christy Hemme simultaneously. She tosses out Angelina Love to bring us to the final four.

Apparently the three remaining women have been teaming up on Kong throughout the break, but it's just not happening. Eventually they hit the LAPSORTNWEOWLGPDFG on Kong, and apparently they're close enough to a large group of people and she's close enough to a guy for it to work on her. Roxxi Leveaux tosses out Jackie Moore, who accommodates her nicely by not defending herself. Roxxi actually hits some cool offense on ODB. ODB wins with a Lou Thesz Press and a dirty pin.

01/31/08 Internet News - Christy Sells Boots On eBay
It was reported over the weekend that TNA Knockout Christy Hemme was auctioning off a pair of her WWE ring worn wrestling boots given to her by Stephanie McMahon on eBay, which were worn in all of her non-gimmicked WWE matches. The initial "Buy It Now" price for the boots was $995. She then raised the price to $1995 and then $2995. The auction ended today and a person with 100% feedback bid and won them for $1995 with about ten minutes left. Also, a person made a comment on the auction page saying that the boots were too overpriced. He wrote: "You're way overpriced. I can offer $500 which is the same I paid for a pair of John Cena boots." Hemme replied with the following:

"You bought a pair of sneakers. John goes through many, many pairs. I wore my boots in ALL my matches. If I am asking $2000 as a minimum bid for these, what are the chances of me accepting a $500 offer? NONE! If you think my boots are too high priced, don't bid on them! Move on!" Rajah.com

03/13/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, Florida - Hoyt/Rave/Hemme vs. LAX (Homicide/Hernandez/Salinas)
They cut to a break after a minute of action. Out of the break, Hernandez and his facial hair tossed folks around the ring. He then clotheslined Hoyt and his ripped jeans over the top rope to the floor. Hernandez flew over the top rope with a big dive. Back in the ring, Homicide went for the Cop Killah, but Rave slipped out and tagged out to Christy. Salinas then tagged herself into the match. She gave Christy a reverse DDT and made a cover for a nearfall. Christy then grabbed the Guitar Hero guitar and smashed it over Salinas's back with the ref distracted. Christy covered Salinas for the win. PWtorch.com

04/13/08 TNA Lockdown PPV - Lowell, MA - Christy Hemme vs. Salinas vs, Jacqueline vs, Traci Brooks vs. Angelina Love vs.Velvet Sky vs. Rhaka Khan vs. Roxxi Leveaux - Queen of the Cage Match
This looks like a G.L.O.W. match gone really bad. The deal here is that the first two women to enter the cage will have a singles match to determine the Queen of the Cage. Angelina Love was the first one to climb inside the cage, so she's in the singles match. Velvet tried to climb in, but Roxxi knocked her off the cage wall and jumped into the cage. So, it's Roxxi vs. Angelina after two minutes. They flew in six other women for practically nothing.

Roxxi Leveaux vs. Angelina Love - #1 Contender match to Knockouts Title
Roxxi and Angelina had a stare down to start this portion of the match. Angelina bashed Roxxi's head into the apron, then became frustrated when she couldn't score a three count. The fans got more and more behind Roxxi with every kick out, then Roxxi made her comeback at 3:00 by catapulting Angelina into the cage wall. Roxxi then hit her Voodoo Drop for the pin and the win.

04/24/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, Florida - TNA Knockouts Makeover Battle Royale Announcement
Jim Cornette was in the ring. He brought out the TNA Knockouts for his big announcement. Christy Hemme flashed the "eat me out" signal to the camera with a giggle on the way to the ring. Eventually, they all made their way to the ring. Cornette announced a very special match for Sacrifice. He booked a TNA Knockouts Makeover Battle Royale. Awesome Kong and Raisha were shown standing alone on the stage. Cornette said it will start as a battle royale, then with it down to two ladies, a ladder will come into play. A contract will come down and the two girls will fight to climb the ladder to earn a TNA Knockouts title match against Kong. The runner-up of the match will get the makeover. Cornette said he knows what young people are up to these days, so he said it will be a Britney Spears makeover, with the loser getting her head shaved. PWtorch.com

05/08/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, Florida - Gail, Angelina, Velvet, Christy, ODB, Traci, Salinas, Jackie, and Roxxi - Knockouts Pole Match
Cornette office: The knockouts were screaming and shouting in Jim Cornette's office. He quieted them down, then talked about the title shot and head-shaving opportunity at the PPV. Cornette said he's not a big meanie; he's like a father-figure for them. He booked them in a match tonight where the person who wins is immune from getting her head shaved at the PPV. The deal is that it will be a pole match, which led to the inevitable stripper joke. A pair of scissors will be on the pole and the person who grabs the scissors is immune. He said it's a good way to grab some ratings to make him look good, then the people who pay good hard money for Sacrifice will get to see a head shaved. He sent them away to prepare to fight.

The match starts in chaos. Gail hits a Hurricanrana off the top rope on Roxxi Leveaux. Traci Brooks tries to climb the pole, which, contra Cornette, is in the corner. Kim cuts her off, so Brooks takes her to the mat with a Face Buster. Salinas tries to climb, but Roxxi Leveaux cuts her off and eats a Tornado DDT for her trouble. The Beautiful People have a Meeting of the Minds courtesy of Gail Kim and Christy Hemme. Christy tries to climb, but for some weird reason comes back into the ring with a FCG. Traci tries to climb but ODB catches her with a Super Fall-Away Slam. Salinas eats a Voodoo Drop as Christy goes back to the pole. Gail Kim and ODB go to cut her off, and next thing you know we have a Tower of Doom by the Beautiful People. Roxxi goes to climb the pole, but Angelina Love dumps her off, only to be shoved off by Ms. Brooks. Jacqueline goes to climb, but ODB comes from underneath with an Electric Chair Drop. While ODB celebrates Gail Kim quickly scales the pole and grabs the scissors to win. PWtorch.com

05/11/08 TNA Sacrifice PPV - Orlando, Florida - Angelina, Velvet, Rhaka, Salinas, Christy, ODB, Roxxi, Jacqueline, Traci, Gail - #1 Contender match to Knockouts Title or Runner-up gets head shaved.
Apparently this is starting as a battle royale. Salinas kinda fell to the floor and she was eliminated. Traci knocked Velvet to the apron and the camera got a ton of cheekage jiggling in the lens. Traci knocked Velvet to the floor, then Angelina knocked out Traci. Rhaka then knocked out Hemme. The girls then ganged up on Rhaka, who flopped around the ring like a fish. They eventually dumped her over the top rope. Jacqueline, then ODB were eliminated. Roxxi eliminated Angelina, leaving Gail and Roxxi. So, apparently, the deal is that if Roxxi wins, then Angelina gets her head shaved because Gail has immunity. PWtorch.com

07/17/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, Florida - Velvet Sky vs. Roxxi vs. Gail vs. Jacqueline vs. ODB vs. Angelina vs.Traci vs. Salinas vs. Rhaka Khan vs. Christy - Knockouts Gauntlet Match
Backstage: Cornette was in the middle of his office trying to restore order with the knockouts. He said he needs one spokeswoman for something. Gail volunteered, which set off Angelina and Velvet. ODB stuck her cans in their faces to intimidate them. Traci Brooks restored order, then Cornette said all of the knockouts want a piece of Taylor because she's the new champ and they feel she hasn't paid her dues. Cornette booked a ten-woman gauntlet match with the winner getting a title match next week. All of the knockouts left, well, except for Traci. She repeated some offer she made to Cornette, who said he would consider it again.

Gail Kim and Jacqueline start things off. They trade forearms till Kim takes control with a Twisting Head Scissors. Kim goes for her finisher, which is odd in an over-the-top-rope context. Jacqueline locks in an Arm Bar as Angelina Love hits the ring. She shoves Jacqueline out of the way to get a shot at Kim, but Ms. Jackie doesn't like that any. They start shoving each other in the middle of the ring, so they don't notice Kim taking them both down with a Double Clothesline. Angelina gets up and takes Kim down with a Spinning Wheel Kick just in time for Salinas to come down. She pairs off with Love as Kim and Jacqueline fight in the corner. Kim almost gets Jacqueline out, but she uses her legs to cling to Kim's head. Velvet Sky comes down and immediately goes to help her partner. They double-team Salinas for a minute, at which point Roxxi comes down. Roxxi goes right after The Beautiful People as the crowd comes alive for her. She goes for a Voodoo Drop on Salinas, but it's countered into a Face Plant. The Beautiful People toss Salinas as she gets up. Rhaka Khan is out, and immediately dominates. She knocks down Leveaux and Kim as Traci comes out. The Beautiful People try to attack her as she gets into the ring, but she fights through. Khan powers her into the corner, but Traci knocks her back and yanks her down by the hair. Christy Hemme's out, and she tries to pick off Gail Kim. The crowd chants for ODB, and here she is. She hits the booze to the face of Christy and knocks around the Beautiful People a bit. [Commercial Break]

There were three eliminations during the break. Rhaka Khan, Christy Hemme, and Traci are all gone, and Jacqueline tosses ODB just as we get back. Roxxi tries to toss Ms. Jackie in turn, but she Skins the Cat, catches Roxxi between her legs, and pulls her out over the top. Roxxi, in a fine show of sportsmanship, pulls Jacqueline out after her, and we're down to Gail Kim and The Beautiful People. Sky & Love gain the quick advantage, but Kim keeps trying to fight through. Sky holds her up, but when Love goes for a kick Kim ducks and Sky eats it. Kim and Love trade shots in the middle of the ring. Love goes for Lights Out, but Kim reverses it with a few elbows and hits a Backstabber. She shoves Love out to the apron, but Love pulls her out with her. They fight on the apron for a second, till Kim gets the better of it and knocks Love off. She rolls back into the ring, but keeps watching Love, which allows Sky to nail a School Girl for the win. Velvet Sky seems surprised. PWtorch.com

08/14/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, FL - Taylor Wilde vs. Christy Hemme
This is a non-title match, with special guest referee Traci Brooks. Wilde hits a series of Arm Drags to start, then segues a Drop Toe Hold into some sort of pretzel-like submission. Christy dodges a charge in the corner and gets a Facebuster for two. She works Taylor's hair, standing on it and yanking the body and then just yanking the hair directly. Wilde fights back, but Christy slams her to the mat by the hair again. Christy stomps her a bit till Taylor is able to fend her off. A Northern Lights Suplex by Taylor gets two. Christy Matrix-es under a clothesline and hits a standing FFG for two. She goes for one off the top rope, but Taylor dodges and nails a German Suplex for the win.

After the match Awesome Kong's music hits, and she and Saeed hit the ring. Kong goes on the attack, but Traci pulls her off. Kong nails Traci with the Spinning Back Fist and a Choke Slam. The distraction is enough for Wilde to go on the offensive, but Saeed intervenes and knocks Taylor down. She grabs a chair, which she sets up in the middle of the ring. Gail Kim runs out to make the save. Kim gets her hands on the chair and just brains Kong with it. Kong retreats. PWtorch.com

10/23/08 TNA Impact! - Las Vegas, NV - Velvet Sky (w/Angelina Love and Cute Kip) vs. Christy Hemme
Velvet mounted Christy in the corner and rammed Christy's head into the turnbuckles while thrusting. Christy had enough and fired back after kinda ducking a clothesline. Velvet then went to the top rope fire crotch drop and connected for the pin and the win. Afterward, Christy smartly bailed from the ring to avoid a post-match attack. PWtorch.com

10/30/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, FL - Christy Hemme & ODB vs. Angelina Love & Velvet Sky (w/Cute Kip)
Sky starts things off, beating Christy down to the mat. She goes for a Side Headlock, but Christy shoots her off and takes her down by the leg. Both women tag out; ODB takes Love down with shoulder block for two. Christy tags back in, and a distraction by Sky lets Love take control with a Spinning Wheel Kick. Christy is isolated for a minute or so, but when she and Love go for simultaneous hair takedowns she's able to get the tag to ODB. ODB nails an incoming Velvet Sky with a Fall Away Slam and a Running Power Slam, but Love breaks up the count at two. Christy Hemme kicks Love out of the ring, and when Kip tries to get involved Christy jumps out after him. Rachael reminds me that Kip was the sexist jerk when Christy tried to make a bigger role for women in wrestling than mere eye candy, but I'm positive we're not supposed to remember that. ODB puts Sky away with some sort of Sit Out Rock Bottom. PWtorch.com

11/12/08 Internet News - Hemme Talks About Leaving WWE
Christy Hemme has posted a new column on the TNA website and she notes her departure from World Wrestling Entertainment. Hemme wrote: "My departure from WWE was on my own terms because I stuck to my guns on my morals and values as a human being. I knew in my gut that it would be the end, but I also knew that carrying guilt for knowingly doing something against what I believed wasn't worth getting ahead. Leaving broke my heart... but doing the right thing is something I will always be proud of." She also talks about her passion for wrestling exploding again, after "sitting on the sidelines" for a while. "My passion for wrestling is exploding from being held for so long. I do have to say, sitting on the sidelines has been extremely beneficial. Its like I spent all that time downloading info that I can now deliver and express in a way I couldn't keeping the wall I did. I've started training again, and have to give HUGE thank you's to AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Jimmy Rave... hurting has never felt so good! Rajah.com

11/27/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, FL - Christy Hemme vs. Raesha Saeed (w/Awesome Kong & Rhaka Khan)
Christy Hemme is in the back begging Traci Brooks for a shot at Awesome Kong. Traci Brooks reminds Christy of the time Kong left her lying in the ring - wasn't that like a year ago? Do they really expect us to remember that? Apparently it was only three months ago, since that's how long Christy says she's been training with AJ (which is news to me). Traci says that if this is really what Christy wants, and asked her if she'd be ready in 15 minutes. Christy said yes. Traci said if she can beat Saeed tonight, she can have Kong at Final Resolution. Christy hugged her excitedly. Traci said she has to run this by Jim Cornette to finalize it.

Christy finally has the crowd back from her ill-advised feminist turn over a year ago. Christy dominates to start, but Saeed takes control (with an eye rake?) and hits a Body Slam. She tosses Christy to the outside, where Kong does her work before rolling her back in. A cover by Saeed only gets one. Saeed hits some tentative stomps before going to the top rope. She misses with a dropkick off the top rope, which lets Christy gain the advantage with a Face Plant. Christy misses with the FFG, but when Saeed tries to hoist her up for a Power Bomb she nails a Sunset Flip for the cover. Christy celebrates after the match, stupidly leaving her back to Awesome Kong. She gets ambushed, but is able to slide out of the ring and escape the wrath of Kong. PWtorch.com

12/04/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, FL - Scott Steiner & Awesome Kong (w/Raisha Saeed and Rhaka Khan) vs. Christy Hemme & A.J. Styles
A bit rough early on between Steiner and Styles, then Steiner knocked down Styles with a straight right hand to the face. Styles then ducked a punch and nailed the leaping dropkick that sent Steiner to his corner. Kong then entered the ring and Styles accepted a chop before wanting to punch Kong, but ref Slick Johnson held him back per the rules of man on man only. Styles then knocked Steiner to the floor and he wanted a splash on Steiner, but Kong yanked him down hard on the apron. Back in the ring, Steiner took control as they cut to break. [Commercial Break]

Back to action where Kong and Hemme battled with Hemme slapping on a chokehold until Steiner tried to get involved. Styles then got involved and knocked Steiner off the apron to the floor before nailing a slingshot plancha. Back in the ring, Kong stalked Hemme to give her a beating. She then turned her attention to Styles and nailed a big splash. Kong tried the Awesomebomb on Hemme, but Hemme slipped out. Styles then helped Hemme get in position for a big tornado DDT on Kong and she connected while Styles held off Steiner to give Hemme the pin on Kong for the win. PWtorch.com

12/07/08 Final Resolution PPV - Orlando, FL - Awesome Kong (Raesha Saeed, Rhaka Khan) vs. Christy Hemme - Knockouts Title Match
A video package before the match painted Hemme as a huge underdog, having lost decisively the last time they battled. Ret. Army Staff Sargeant Leslie Mansur was introduced as a guest ring announcer. West and Tenay complimented TNA's initiative to involve members of the Armed Forces. West said training with A.J. Styles is a good thing, but even if she channelled Lou Thesz he doesn't know if she'd have a chance. He said you can't help but root for her because she has such a spark. She was a blood-shot-eyed strung-out heel rocker just a couple months ago, but suddenly she's irresistible. It doesn't help she still has the same music as Rock and Rave. Hemme hit a top rope crossbody block at 1:00. Kong blocked a kick at ringside and took over. At 5:00 Hemme went for a sleeper on Kong. West said she just doesn't give up. "She's like a pesky little wasp you can't get rid of," said West, trying for a compliment but maybe not quite hitting his target. Hemme hit her top rope legdrop, but when she went for a cover, Saeed yanked her by her leg to the floor. Hemme fended her off and returned to the ring to beat on Kong. Saeed entered the ring and attacked Hemme from behind. The ref called for the immediate DQ. Afterward security intervened to try to pry Hemme and Kong apart. Hemme kept going in for more. West said, "This is kind of fun! Christy Hemme just won't give up. God, you gotta admire that." The crowd chanted, "Let them fight." PWtorch.com

12/11/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, FL - Christy Hemme vs. Sojournar Bolt
It should probably be noted that Bolt, while in incredibly good shape, is not quite as obviously anorexic as most of the women in wrestling (that's not a euphemistic way of calling her fat—she's still plenty skinny); this makes me want to root for her fairly instantly. She and Christy alternate ground holds Lucha Libre style. Christy locks in a nasty looking Leg Scissors. Bolt powers out, but Christy puts her back into a Hammerlock. Bolt gets to her feet and knees Christy, then Snapmares her down and dropkicks her back for two. Bolt hits a Body Slam, then drops an elbow for two. She goes for a Running Clothesline, but Christy matrix-es under and takes her down by the hair. Christy then kicks the back of her head, and, when she kneels, dropkicks her in the face. Hemme goes to the top rope, but Bolt catches her with a Press Slam for two. Bolt goes for a Power Bomb, but Christy reverses it into a Sunset Flip for the win.

After the match, Christy helps Bolt up and shakes her hand. Bolt slaps her and shoves her back, so Christy jumps on her. Referees come out from the back to break things up. So are all the African American women in TNA heel now? That's…awkward. PWtorch.com

12/18/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, FL - Christy Hemme & ODB vs. Rhaka Khan & Raisha Saeed
ODB's Angle: ODB was with Christy Hemme, who was dressed like...um...I dunno. ODB said Hemme was a trampoline girl on the "Man Show," so Hemme did a demonstration. ODB wanted to know about the Diva Search and doing Playboy, so cue up the dirty jokes. ODB suddenly got serious and said the Playboy Diva girls think they can show up in the ring and do what she does. Hemme said she hears ya, girlfriend, so she feels incredibly blessed to have a chance to learn and practice in the ring. ODB gave it up to her for getting in the ring with Kong, but then Raisha Saeed interrupted and attacked Hemme with Rhaka Khan. Khan kinda stuck her shoe on ODB to pretend like she was doing something. As a result, it's those four in a brawl match tonight.

Didn't take long for the brawl to begin on the floor with Hemme paired off against Saeed. Hemme then slipped into the ring to help ODB against Khan, but Khan drove her big leg into ODB. Hemme then tackled Khan before ODB tried to rip her head off or give her a neck massage. Couldn't tell and Khan wasn't co-operating. Hemme then went up top and knocked Raisha off the top rope, and ODB set up Khan to take the firecrotch leg drop for the pin and the win.

Post-match: Knockouts champion Awesome Kong showed up and took out the victors before giving Hemme an implant buster. ODB got the boots for good measure before taking an implant buster of her own. Suddenly, the lights went down and out and Suicide swung into the ring. Kong was indecisive, then she slipped out of the ring. The lights went back off, then came back on, and Suicide was gone. Kong was freaked out. PWtorch.com

12/25/08 TNA Impact! - Orlando, FL - ODB & Roxxi & Taylor Wilde & Christy Hemme vs. Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed & Sojourner Bolt & Rhaka Khan - Santa's Workshop Knockouts Street Fight
West had the quote of the night: "You can't have rules in a Santa's Workshop Knockouts Street Fight. It just can't be done." Sh'yeah, everybody knows that. Some creative outfits you might see at a tacky Christmas party. Except for Bolt, who apparently missed the memo and sported a leopard-print outfit. Roxxi was an elf. Hemme was an aerobics instructor with candy-cane-striped socks. Kong entered the ring and over-powered Hemme, but Hemme hopped on her back and everything completely broke down. Ref Rudy Charles threw his hands in the air like he just don't care. Kong vs. Hemme is at the PPV in a lumberjill match, by the way. Taylor knocked Raisha off the apron into a mosh pit below on the floor that looked more like a corporate event where someone falls backwards to test the trust of his or her co-workers. Taylor then came off the top with a cross body block into the mosh pit. Back in the ring, Khan grappled Taylor and gave her a step-over kick before licking her hand. Taylor then rolled up Khan, who freaked out at the thought of being part of a wrestling move, and scored the pin for the win. PWtorch.com
