Backstage News on the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles and New Tournament

- As noted before, TNA will begin a tournament this week on iMPACT to crown the first-ever Knockout Tag Team Champions. This is probably another move being done because of Jeff Jarrett being out of power.

Jarrett was always firm about having only three titles – the World Title, the X Division Title and Tag Team Titles, before he added the Knockouts Title and then the Legends Title. There had been talk at times of having an X Division Tag Team Titles but Jarrett always felt the more belts you have, the less important they are.

Five of the teams in the tournament are Sarita & Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed, Traci Brooks & Sharmell, Tara & Christy Hemme and The Beautiful People. They might add ODB & Cody Deaner as a team for some comedy.

    If they have more belts, they need more tv time.

    Of course Jarrett didn’t want more titles, there weren’t enough knockouts to have a title, the legends belt is waste of time, adding more women to expand the division mean taking away from the male wrestlers, which I’m sure they will be happy about. WHEW

    I think the Legends title might be viewed like U.S. Heavyweight belt maybe. But if they dont make it seem that way (maybe because the name of the title) then it is indeed useless.

    There are two many titles on tna. the x division title has no more prestige. that use 2 be the hottest division in wrestling. now it has bn reduce 2 nutn. people just arent into like they use 2 be. the legends title is irrelevent. useless.

    I agree more titles doesn’t equal better. I was hoping they would merge the legends and heavyweight championship
