“Your Two Cents” is our interactive feature where we gauge the opinions of our Twitter and Facebook followers on different discussions in women’s wrestling.

This week, we’re asking this: Mickie James recently admitted that she thinks TNA needs more Knockouts, so who do you think they should hire? We’ve read your responses on our social media pages and picked some of the best submissions to highlight here on the website. As always, you can join the debate by leaving your comments!
 

Brandon Bray | Hands down, Athena. Two words: TOTAL PACKAGE!
Bukky Owoaje | The Midwest Militia: Jessicka Havok, Allysin Kay and Sassy Stephie. It would be so cool. It would be like a Knockouts Aces & 8s.
Cedro Alexander | This is just wishful thinking, but I think that Natalya from the WWE would be a good addition to the Knockouts, as well as Brie & Nikki Bella.
Charlie Flickinger | Hire Serena Deeb & re-hire Roxxi. Push both as the stars they deserve to be.
Dave Nguyen | Cherry Bomb. She’ll fit right in.
Jessica Krzesowiak | What they shouldn’t have done is let Cheerleader Melissa get away.
Joe Wilson | Beth Phoenix and Awesome Kong. Anyone else WWE let go.
@johnreport | A better booking team. They can’t afford more women because the pay sucks. The end.
Lindsay Shields | Come to the UK, shut your eyes, spin around and point your finger. There are loads of girls here that need to be picked up (Nikki Storm, Kay Lee Ray, Carmel Jacob, Rhia O’Reilly, Viper, etc…)
@Pocketvolcano | LuFisto, without a doubt. She’s proven time and again she wants it more than anyone, and given her career she’s earned it.
@WildForTNA | I definitely would like to see Jayme Jameson in TNA. The girl has gorgeous looks, she’s young, talented and is in tremendous shape. Hopefully since she is married to TNA Superstar Gunner she could at least get a tryout. The girl has massive potential and would be a great addition to the Knockout roster.

 
And now we turn it over to you…

What are your two cents on the debate? Who do you think should be hired as Knockouts? Tell us in the comments…

European independent wrestler Shanna has won Bracket 2 of TNA’s Gut Check Challenge.

The challenge, which has been plagued by a series of problems, was re-started on April 4th. Wrestlers vying for an opportunity for a live Gut Check on Impact Wrestling were split into 16 polls, each of which will last three days.

The winner of each bracket advances into a final vote and the winner of that will receive a televised Gut Check.

Shanna won Bracket 2 with 353 votes, her nearest rival scoring 181. That’s a very convincing win indeed!

Others who will be included in polls still to come are Luscious Latasha, LuFisto, Mia Svensson and Nikki Storm.

Check out TNA’s official press release to see when the other polls will open.

Pro Wrestling: EVE Champion Nikki Storm looks set to add another landmark to her already glittering and well-travelled career as she jets off to the other side of the world next week for her first ever tour of Japan!

The Scot, who defeated Joshi legend Emi Sakura for the EVE Championship back in February, will be making her Japanese debut at the world-famous Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on April 14th for JWP, where she will be participating in tag team action with a mystery partner.

She follows in the footsteps of fellow EVE star Kay Lee Ray, who impressed greatly on her first trip to Japan in December for JWP and Sakura’s promotion Gatoh Move.

See below for the full press release:

PRO-WRESTLING:EVE CHAMPION NIKKI STORM HEADING TO JAPAN!

Europe’s premier all female wrestling promotion in Pro-Wrestling:EVE together with the longest running professional female wrestling promotion in the world today in Japanese Women Pro-Wrestling Project (JWP) are pleased to announce that EVE Champion “The Dynamite Queen” Nikki Storm will be heading to Japan!

This marks the third occasion that the two promotions have worked together exchanging talent since November 2012 that has seen talents Emi Sakura and Kaori Yoneyama come to the UK while Kay Lee Ray and now Nikki Storm venture to Japan.

Regarded by industry experts as the best female wrestler in Europe today, the 2 time EVE Champion Nikki Storm is looking to prove that she’s more than just Europe’s best but also live up to her claim of being “The World’s Finest Wrestler” when she ventures to Japan to make her debut at the hallowed Korakuen Hall on April 14. It is there where Storm teams up with a mystery partner to face the team who place second in the current JWP 2013 “Tag League The Best” round robin tournament, the finals of which are to be held on April 7 between Heart Move (Hanako Nakamori & Morri) and The Jumonji Sisters (Dash Chisako & Sendai Sachiko).

Despite this being Storm’s first venture to Japan, the EVE Champion has tangled with with 3 of Japan’s finest wrestlers in the form of Tsukasa Fujimoto, Hikaru Shida and joshi legend Emi Sakura. While “The Dynamite Queen” racked up victories against Fujimoto and Shida, Storm lost the Pro-Wrestling:EVE Championship to Sakura in an impromptu match during the closing moments of EVE iPPV “WrestleFever”

However on February 2nd in Preston, Lancashire, Storm survived the aggressive assault from the defending champion, reclaimed the Pro-Wrestling:EVE Championship in impressive fashion and became the first ever two time EVE Champion at “No Man’s Land 2!” In addition to this, Storm sent Sakura and everyone in the EVE locker-room a message when after the match she attacked both Sakura and Sakura’s former student April Davids and left the pair laying in the middle of the ring following a vicious post match assault.

Though Storm later admitted on her twitter account (@NikkiStorm1) that she respected Emi Sakura for her in ring abilities and even going as far as to thank the former EVE champion for the match, Storm had made sure to put everyone in EVE on notice that the EVE Championship was now around the waist of professional wrestling’s Moriarty of mayhem, the most calculating, venomous and malicious female wrestler in the industry today “The World’s Finest Wrestler” – ‘The Dynamite Queen’ Nikki Storm!

Can the Pro-Wrestling:EVE Champion dominate Japan like she has dominated Europe over the past 2 years? It all begins on April 14 at the world famous Korakuen Hall!

 

Congratulations to Nikki Storm on this awesome opportunity, and good luck!
