“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.

LuFisto Injured, Cancels Future Bookings

Unfortunately, we have to add another to the injured list: LuFisto suffered a serious knee injury at SHIMMER 53 in Secaucus, NJ last weekend.

She injured her knee when attempting a moonsault from the top rope to the outside of the ring during her four-corner tag team bout.

LuFisto posted an open letter on her Facebook, revealing the severity of the injury (a fractured knee cap that has already forced her into surgery – ouch!) and cancelling several future bookings, including a much-hyped WSU Championship title match with Jessicka Havok in May.

Read LuFisto’s full letter below:

Dear fans, promoters and colleagues,

Last Saturday during the Shimmer 53 event at WrestleCon, I attempted a moonsault from the top rope to the outside, a manoeuvers I did before successfully. Whether it is because of miscommunication, bad timing or miscalculation, I landed very hard on the floor. I tried to turn myself mid-air but it was just too late.

Despite wearing knee pads, both my knees took the most of the impact, a fall of about 15 feet, right on the concrete. I lay on the floor for about a minute and decided to get up, get in the ring and finished what I had to do. Already as I had Taylor Made on my shoulder for the Burning Hammer, I knew there was something wrong.

I finished the match to the best of my ability without being able to put any weight on my left leg. Backstage, it was very swollen and I also had to cancel my match against Sumie Sakai at IndyGurlz.

I went back home on the Sunday and finally saw the doctor today. He confirmed that my left knee cap completely absorbed the impact. I got some x-rays done and I now have the results: Fractured knee cap.

I will see an orthopedist by the end of the week to know if I require surgery or a cast (hip to ankle). Therefore, I’m very sorry and sad to announce that I do have to cancel all my future appearances for at least the next two months:

Shimmer on April 14-15th
NGE on April 27th
WSU on May 11th
NSPW on May 25th

I’m so, so sorry and upset. Unfortunately, a tough and expensive road to recovery is now on the way. I hope you will all forgive me for not being able to compete for those few months. I hope to see you all very soon.

Here’s hoping that LuFisto has a speedy recovery. Get well soon!
