Honestly knockouts has done so much for the Women’s Wrestling. Impact has lift up the career of wrestlers who were under appreciated and give them spotlight to make a name for themselves. I feel like Impact is the real land of opportunity, where others are given a chance to take the stage.
Dutch Mantell recently talked about how the Knockouts were the biggest draw for Impact, and specifically brought up the cage match between Gail Kim and Kong.
exactly brother, They are evergreen in WWE & Impact knockout division. 🎉 We should support them. No matter, who came from which generation but we want a real tag team fight in impact wrestling. 🎉🎉🎉
@@Kingofb0ngstyle they are actually drama queen, just compairing with useless or baseless. where has gail, kong, jordeny, Micky & Trinity so the people will support them from heart. That's true.
@CharlieJohnLazaro-sg1pe sorry but listen closely her n kong are neck n neck. Which makes sense on kongs part as she has not been on live TV in forever
The sad part is I think people nowadays really don't realize how important the beautiful people were to the entire history of this company and how vital they were to their most successful years. They absolutely were the centerpiece of the company during their most prosperous time and their time of greatest notoriety. Every week, without fail, the beautiful people's segment would have the highest viewership on RUclips and social media, and this was something that was consistent throughout their entire time with the company. The knockouts division was built for the beautiful people. They aren't literally the cornerstone. And I don't feel like that was pushed home enough in this segment.
@@briangreig9913 I agree 💯💯💯. The Beautiful People are so underrated in wrestling as a whole I feel. They were always great to watch and like you mentioned; a vital part to TNA's/Impacts women's division.
It's nice to see Cheerleader Mellisa as Raisha Saeed returns to Impact 1000. She definitely needs and deserve more, and I hope that Wrestling Promotions will create a gimmick that similar to her
@@PrinceMontreysome knockouts slept their way through the rankings. They just had to swallow and smile. The most cringe inducing pair in this segment. Gail looks like she's barely aged. Angelina looks like Marge if she took Homer's make-up gun to the face. As a fan of Deonna, it's embarassing she's being paired up with two Playboy rejects from 2001.
I friggin love The Beautiful People! There is some amazing women in the squared circle. Wish I coulda been there in person. Here’s to 1000 and many many more.
@@TheTrixster690 when Deonna was gloating about having three wins (in response to Trinity’s one) Gail clapped back and said, “come find me when you have 7” or something to that effect
@makinsjkm yes, I must include them and Taylor Wildle as well! Everyone who was a Knockout in the past and present deserve flowers for building up Women's Wrestling
@@SheriffOutlaw We also can't forget Ms. Jackie. Her and Gail's rivalry was one of many feuds that led to the Knockouts' Division. That being said, there are so many women that helped with founding the Knockouts Division that I'm sure we are forgetting quite a few. They deserve a ton of credit as well.
@Lunzatis_Palemoon indeed! I didn't know or start watching Impact until 2006 and it was when Styles and Daniels were feuding with LAX. Ms. Brooks and Gail Kim were the 2 Knockouts I knew about at the time. Best decision I made tuning in. ❤️
@@SheriffOutlaw I started watching Impact shortly before you did and I remember that Ms. Jackie and Gail Kim were part of America's Most Wanted. Gail Kim eventually got tired of AMW's bs while they were part of Jarrett's faction and that's what led to the rivalry/feud between Ms. Jackie and Gail Kim. In fact, that was shortly after Gail Kim initially arrived at Impact. I think it progressed into the Ms. Brooks feud because Ms. Brooks was associated with Bobby Roode.
I was there live. All the veterans got really great return pop but Trinity's entrance had everyone going crazy (who's not the front row). Its just such a fun and amazing entrance. It was almost like a rave, so much fun.
Beautiful ppl look so stunning I remember like yesterday when I was like 15 hearing their theme playing and the hot iconic entrance that was like 11 years ago hahaha and they still look the same !!
it makes me so happy to see the beautiful people in impact! both angelina & velvet are legends and i still hope one day they'll get a tag team title run together
@@SNOWQueen87-v1g Except for Impact it's true. Name one American wrestling promotion where the women's matches did so well in ratings. Name one company that put so much emphasis on female wrestlers back in the 2000's. You can't. Impact was the original women's revolution.
Women's revolution before the "Women's revolution". Impact's Knockout division has always been one of their forte. There is star power all over, always have been.
@@Hey2789 She didn't earn her title shot,she became champion because she is an ex WWE star,but someone who is also an ex WWE star didn't earn her title shots since she came back to Impact and just steals the spotlight from the new generation and unfortunately for Trinity,her reign is going to end soon because Mickie is back and she wants to ruin the new generation chances once again
@@thazulu3949 At least she was a heel,not a face like Mickie or Trinity.......Also to be honest,I started to rewatch Impact because of the feud between Christian and Kenny Omega
I’m a WWE guy but as a kid I used to tune in to TNA a little bit and remember some of the OG’s, AJ, Samoa Joe, beer money, Kurt, the beautiful people, etc. it’s great to seem some of them return.💯
No she's not. Tracie Brooks, Kong, Taylor Wilde, The Beautiful People and Gail Kim are the original class of knockouts. Mickie came much later in the 2010's.
Awesome reunion and awesome one for The Beautiful people and Mickie James that I felt she was going to miss this and since over 6 months she made it and continues on.
Legends! My all time faves & 😮1 of the greatest Tag Team in the history of Impact Wrestling. They are literally the reason I started watching back in 2010
It’s crazy it’s been 1000 episodes I didn’t watch Tna for long about 2-3 years maybe around 2012 through 2014 when it was still on spike but I love the nostalgia trip this took me on.
The Knockouts division were revolutionary before the WWE Women’s Evolution. Gail Kim vs Awesome Kong Turning Point PPV still stands as the top 5 Greatest Women’s Wrestling Match in America
If it wasn't for the Beautiful People, there would have been no Knockouts division. I wish we could see the IIconics against Angelina Love & Velvet Sky.
tna deserved so much more regardless of the ratings or the crowd sizes they actually were as entertaining as wwe back in their day n i wish they could’ve saw more success like the old tna deserved crowds as large as wwe back then because they actually did deliver on all aspects looking back they didn’t get the flowers they deserved they had my attention every thursday faithfully!
LET THE PIGEONS LOOSE!
yes sir.♥
💯
Yeah
Me too 😂😂
Impact NEEDS Angelina to be a 7 time champion!!
Only thing missing from The Beautiful People's entrance was Taz yelling, "LET THE PIGEONS LOOSE!!!!"
I agree with you on that
i said the same thing lol
He would love to show up. But he got to go talk to the so-called boss over there in Aew. 💯

The Thing is, that's cheerleader, Melissa. They wanted to explode that more you know to see what she can do as that character it could have worked. 💯🤔
Not only that but kong looks skinny. Like you can tell she's dropped at least 40-50lbs since her aew shenanigans.
The mood of the area legit changed when her theme started playing and when they made their way to the ring. I f'n miss that part of wrestling.
We know that Cheerleader Melissa but Raisha Saeed character is most popular character she’s portrayed
With 100 people in attendance I’m sure they can’t afford 1000 more episodes lol
