WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Dec 6)

By Andrew Soucek /

4. Women Lose

All those weeks, all those matches, and it ended unceremoniously in one night. TNA set up eight groups of wrestlers in the tournament for the Heavyweight Title. One of those groups featured four women. The announcers put over how the top two competitors would be battling the men, and could potentially become champion. They tried to present it as something special. Well, that ended quickly once the final 16 tournament began. This week Gail Kim lost to Tigre Uno, who was reluctant to fight her (despite the announcers saying that Uno comes from a culture with intergender matches). Later in the night, Kong lost to Godderz, which was the more ridiculous of the two matches. Godderz got to be a chauvinistic a-hole, which made it seem like he would get his and Kong would move on. But he didn€™t. He won in three minutes. A disappointing end to that whole women in the tournament story. If there was no plan to push any of the Knockouts as legitimate contenders in the tournament, then they shouldn't have been entered in the first place. It felt like a waste of TV time, and a failure of an opportunity for the company to establish their women€™s division differently than WWE€™s.
