The Knockout Division is a ratings winner for TNA, and due to the recent influx of talent, it's been impossible to keep everyone in the chase for the Knockout title belt. So now they're introducing women's tag belts. I think this is a good idea. Let''s hope they can come up with more good ideas, like bringing back Jarrett and not demoting him from his VP position.

As long as it means I'll get to see more Daffney, I'll be happy.
She's been missing for like 3 weeks, and it is starting to piss me off.

All of my friends look at me weird for not hating women's wrestling on general principle. Good to hear.

I approve of this too. Its always made me terribly sad that the WWE has wasted so much women's talent by putting people like Victoria either as nothing more than a guy's sidekick, or constantly thrown into pointless piss-break style matches. (Well...piss breaks for me, anyway, since I get nothing out of lingerie pillow fights or mud wrestling.) Victoria specifically makes me sad, because she was not only a fantastic wrestler, she was one of the few women who had a truly awesome and unique gimmick--the 'insane' character was *great*, from the antics to the entrance music. And then the WWE cut the balls off the character (so to speak). Sigh.
I like the women's tag belt idea. I don't usually watch TNA because I'm out of the house when it comes on, but this might be the tipping point that convinces me to make it appointment viewing.

Victoria looks terible ever since she got to TNA. She was gorgeous in the WWE, now she looks like a long haired Jack Swagger,

Victoria is a favorite of mine too. I loved her "psycho" gimmic. I met her at a WWE Fan Axxess thing and she told me she tries to keep some psycho thing around ,even if it's generally implied. Her and Stevie Richards were unstoppable. I digress
I'd love to see this. It may well be a wrestling first. Now TNA, get Mickie James back and everything will be cool!

The WWF had a Women Tag Team Title from 1983 - 1988.
You don't remember the Jumping Bomb Angels? They won the titles from The Glamour Girls!

I wouldn't mind seeing TNA bring back six-man tag belts.

Tna has enough titles. The fewer the titles the more prestige they hold.

^ Yeah, that's my only issue with things like the six-man tag belt. Awesome in theory, in practice, it just means too many damn title matches, and they lose their impact.
