(Sorry I haven't updated for a while. Life kept getting in the way.)
I have to admit, when I heard that Taya Valkyrie was coming to Impact/GFW/Whatever it is this week I perked up somewhat.
I've been thinking for a while that the Knockouts Dvision desperately needed some more depth, especially since half their current roster doesn't actually wrestle that much. Taryn Terell has only done run-ins, Allie mainly does mixed matches or backstage stuff and poor Laurel Van Ness has spent recent months alternatively insane, acting as arm candy for Kongo Kong or being courted by Grado. I wonder if she's upset somebody...
So having a statuesque, bona-fide Lucha Libre star rock up in the Impact Zone could only be a positive thing. I'm already looking forward to some fun matches against Rosemary and with a bit of luck Taya Valkyrie will bump into Sienna at some point down the line.
There's just one thing I have an issue with and I acknowledge it's a bit petty.
Taya's ring gear.
Not all of it though. The robes are awesome, perfectly suiting the Warrior Queen look she's going for. And I like the one-piece leotard which makes more sense to me than the crop-top & shorts Rave Gear that's the vogue these days. The only bit I have an issue with is what's on her feet.
Sorry Taya but much as I think you're awesome, I really don't like the Neanderthal legwarmers you're rocking here. Don't they slow you down at all?
Please don't track me down and hurt me.
I'll leave with one final thought.
Look at this picture.
One of these women is a much-loved babyface. If you don't follow Impact Wrestling, can you work out which is which?
Hint: it's the woman with a skull for a face.
Wrestling gets strange sometimes.
That's all folks.
