TNA Final Resolution in Review: Falls Count Anywhere, Even in the Loo

by

If you consider the fact that the rivalry between Mickie James and Tara has roots in their time in the WWE, this feud has been going on for a long time. In between these phantom WWE issues and now, there have been countless brawls and a match that ended in a double DQ. It’s inevitable that Mickie will eventually move on to challenge Madison Rayne for the Knockouts Championship, but is tonight really the last stop on the runaway freight train that has been Mickie vs. Tara? Yes, I know runaway trains don’t stop–don’t let that ruin my metaphor. Let’s just watch the events unfold and see if these Knockouts are really ready to move on:

We start with Knockouts champ Madison Rayne being interviewed by Christy Hemme. Madison says there’s no way Mickie’s getting to her or her championship, because she has to get through Tara first, an that’s not going to happen. I can appreciate that they’re not trying to hide the direction in which this feud is headed. Also, is it just me (I mentioned this on Twitter), or does Madison’s dark hair make her resemble Mickie a bit? Do I smell a “long lost sister” Maury-esque twist coming up in this storyline? No? Just me? Anywho, she continues to play up Tara, saying that she’s here to “protect the princess”. Is Madison right–will Tara really protect her, or will she simply be paved into Mickie’s road to Madison?

We’re shown a video package chronicling this feud. Lots of upturned tables and uncomfortable fighting attire. With all the brawling and disqualifications that have come from this feud, this Falls Count Anywhere stipulation really is the best fit. Tara’s out first on her hog, and Mickie follows. Tara exits the ring, gets Mickie to follow, and the match starts on the outside. They trade blows, and Tara tries to climb over the barricade, but gets crotched on it. Whether you’re a lady or a gent, that does not feel good. Mickie goes for the first pin attempt of the match, but Tara kicks out. Mickie continues to beat on Tara, alternating between face smashes on the barricade and face smashes on the ring apron. She tosses Tara back into the ring, climbs the turnbuckle, and takes down Tara with a flying dropkick. She goes for another pin, but Tara wraps her legs around the ropes and forces a rope break.

TNA Final Resolution 2010: Madison and Tara ‘Extinguish’ Mickie

by

Final Resolution didn’t see any resolution to the Mickie James vs Tara feud. After brawling through the entire Impact Zone in a Falls Count Anywhere match, this bout ended in the unlikeliest of places: the men’s bathroom. Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne was found hiding in one of the stalls armed with a fire extinguisher which … Read more

PPV Predictions: TNA Final Resolution 2010

by

The war wages on tonight as Mickie James and Tara battle once again tonight in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Who will have ‘Final Resolution’? The Diva Dirt team weigh in…

Cryssi: I’m pretty guilty of not keeping up with TNA. In fact, the first thing I’ve seen Knockout related in a few months was the awful Hardcore Country performance on Impact this past week. For that alone, Mickie James should never win another match in her career but sadly, things don’t work that way. I full expect Mickie to walk out of Final Resolution the victor tonight, going on to feud with the Knockouts Champion over the next month. By the time February rolls around, Mickie will be the champ and people will have forgotten that Sarita even exists.

Eric: Hardcore Country! Will Tara be able to overcome Mickie and her thrillbilly sound? After a feud that consisted mostly of backstage brawls involving the entire Knockouts roster, Mickie and Tara will hopefully settle their WWE grudge tonight so we can move on with our lives. I see Mickie picking up the win with the Mickie DDT. The aftermath is more interesting to me. Will she cash in her title shot? Does that even exist anymore? Hopefully TNA realizes which feud is actually interesting and finally pushes Madison vs. Sarita front and center.

Erin: I said this last time these two had a PPV match, and I’ll say it again: Mickie should soon be challenging for the Knockouts Title, and I believe that if Mickie wants to pose a real threat to Madison, she must be able to take out her partner. Tara is that partner, of course, and though this feud has gone on longer than I thought it would, I still think Mickie will come out on top. Last time, their match ended in a draw, so in a sense neither side has the clear upper hand going into the match, even though Tara had the last laugh on Impact. Since this match is a Falls Count Anywhere ordeal, I’m sure these two will be able to get all the brawling out of their systems and put a nice cap on this feud. Mickie wins and moves on to challenge the champion.

TNA Turning Point in Review: Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, I Wanna Start a Fight!

by

Billed as a match that had it’s roots in the company they both formerly worked for, last night saw a grudge match between Tara and Mickie James.. At first, it felt like Mickie would simply have to go through Tara to get a shot at the Knockouts Championship, but this feud has taken on a life of it’s own. Each woman is eager to get their hands on the other. So who would come out victorious?

Prior to the match, backstage we see Christy Hemme with Mickie James. It’s a short promo but MJ gets straight to the point. She admits there might’ve been mutual dislike between the two in the WWE, but no matter what, she says that Tara “will respect me.” There’s a gleam in her eyes as she glares at the camera before stalking off.

JB announces Tara being accompanied to the ring by Madison Rayne, but as Tara rides out on her bike, she’s going solo. (JB must’ve had a tad bit of the hair o’ the dog…) She’s sporting boots, fishnets, and a ripped t-shirt and frankly I’m hard pressed to make sense out of this outfit. It looks trashy to be honest. However, I adore the red streaks in her hair so I’ll overlook the outfit. Next out is Mickie James and I vastly prefer her new gear over the cut off shorts and tied shirt. Her outfit tonight is a blue top like she used to wear in the WWE, plus pants that have cowboy chaps on them. She should’ve taken the chaps off, but on the whole it’s a big improvement.

PPV Predictions: TNA Turning Point 2010

by

Former WWE Women’s Champions, Mickie James and Tara collide tonight in a big grudge match live on pay per view. Who will get the last laugh? The Diva Dirt team weigh in…

Cryssi: Let me start off by asking the Diva Dirt World a question. Does it make me a bad person seeing as how I had no clue these two were even feuding? Last I checked, I thought Sarita was getting a push, but no matter. Tara and Mickie are ex-WWE stars which means they will be built up bigger than any indy/SHIMMER/ROH girl ever. Seeing as how Mickie is the newest, and perhaps the biggest signing TNA has made since Kurt Angle (because lets face it, Hulk Hogan/Flair/Bischoff are not prizes) I expect to see her pushed to the moon. She’s probably going for Madison after tonight so yeah, Mickie totally wins this match via handcuffing Tara to the ring rope and forcing her to listen to ‘Hardcore Country.’ Tara’s ears will start to bleed and for her safety, the match will be called and Mickie will be declared the winner. Meanwhile Tara will have to be committed because that song will make her want to jump off Epcot Center and that’s not really healthy.

Erin: TNA is never one to slack when it comes to pushing those new acquisitions that have a whiff of the WWE still on them, and Mickie’s still carrying the scent, while Tara’s has all but worn off. Thus, they’re probably dead set on giving Mickie a nice big push for as long as they can. The fact that this is a storyline based on their former Diva status only reinforces the belief that any association to the WWE makes TNA see dollar signs, and having one of the most popular Divas in recent history at their disposal tells me that they’re not going to do much to hold her back this early on. Add to that the fact that this match, in all likelihood, will be a stepping stone to Mickie challenging Madison for the Knockouts Title, and it becomes clear that Tara probably doesn’t stand much of a chance. While this match has the chance of being pretty damn good, I don’t think it’s going to serve as much more than preparation for the eventual title feud. Mickie wins.

TNA Reaction Watch (October 28th, 2010): Mickie & Tara Explain Their Bad Blood

by

Last night’s episode of TNA Reaction saw a great segment focusing on the feud between Mickie James and Tara, as well as taking us behind the scenes of that huge Knockouts brawl that opened the show.

The storyline is that Tara felt that Mickie had her released from her WWE contract.

Watch below to see what they have to say about it:


Skip to 05:00

Thoughts: Thoroughly enjoyed this. This segment really gave the back-story needed to make this storyline work and pretty much sold the Turning Point match to me. It’s great that TNA has this show to really tell their stories on as it gives the Knockouts’ feuds that much more meaning.

After the cut, Mickie James is ‘Impact Player of the Week’:

TNA Bound for Glory in Review: Tara Takes it All

by

At Bound for Glory, Knockout fans would see the culmination of the feud that has been building for the past few weeks. The insertion of the newest Knockout, Mickie James, as the special referee was a wild card added on just last Thursday. Would the match really be more of a tag team effort (as the Beautiful People have led us to believe), or will fragile alliances break under the pressure (how deep is Tara’s loyalty to Madison really?) as the Knockouts Championship is on the line? And where would Mickie fall in all of this? Lets find out…

We open with Christy Hemme backstage with Madison Rayne and Tara. Madison proceeds to shred Christy verbally, unloading on the poor redhead her frustrations and fury. The promo is actually pretty hilarious and well done, with Tara providing the straight face in the background. Words can’t do it justice, you should have a listen for yourself. I’m loving Madison on the mic!

Once the interview is done, we see a video package detailing how this feud came to be, with several of the past interviews from each woman spliced in. Also included is how Miss Tessmacher came to be the Knockouts Division supervisor – something she has done a particularly good job at so far. The “Tale of the Tape” brings us up to speed before we fade back into the arena.

“HARDCORE COUNTRY!” blares over the speakers (I’m sorry, I can’t take that music seriously…how cheesy can you get?) and out skips Mickie James, who gets a loud welcome from the crowd. She looks fantastic in her referee shirt, hair done up properly. She feels genuinely enthusiastic to be there. After her entrance into the ring, new music plays and out come Madison Rayne and Tara, guiding the motorbike down the ramp instead of coming through the crowd. Very nice bike!
