Now Im not saying that I hate Christy, in fact this same kind of underdog storyline she is in now that made me a fan of now, WWE's Gail Kim, and WWE Diva Candice. However, TNA set up a pretty good looking rivalry on paper between Rhaka Khan and Kong. Kong for the firsr time ever was matched up against a Knockout who had similar strength, had more speed, and was about three inches taller. Besides its not like we havent seen an underdog knockout storyline before. In a way, this storyline mimics the same one Gail Kim went through. Since joining up with Kong, Khan has really done nothing to note, but as Kongs rival she could be doing so much more.
Anyhow, I guess Im asking, would you rather have Khan vs Kong right now or Hemme vs Kong?
lol I think they both really suck. Honestly, the Knockout Division is horribly overrated. Not many of them can actually wrestle. Khan is just boring and pointless, and Hemme is only useful as a heel valet. As a face wrestler? lmao.
I guess Khan for the reasons you stated, but both are pretty bad.

Rhaka Khan is one of the worst knockouts in the division. Her height is a hindrance... it's to the point where I'd be worried about opponents safety in the ring and that's not good.
Christy... it's someone that can have drawing power and interest people to watch this match. She may not seen as a 'wrestler' but god damn it, as long as she has someone that can carry her throughout the match she can put on a decent-good performance.

Yes, I have a GIF of two women kissing.
Yes, it's hot. Yes it's Megan Fox kissing another woman from Jennifer's Body. Yes, it's hot... owait, I already said that. Yes, I'm aware this makes me sound like a total lesbian. But this scene? UNF.

How does Christy have drawing power? She is just a random hot chick. That is like saying every WWE diva has drawing power, whereas in reality even MELINA ON HER RETURN got no reaction. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Christy is only good because she is annoying, so having her in the ring as a face basically takes away the only thing she can do well. I find it hard to believe that your average TNA fan gives a shit about Christy in a match lol

Drawing power in getting people to want to watch her is what I'm talking about. Now if you ask me, they've built her up as the underdog babyface which is something people like to see and would want to cheer for against this monster heel, hm?
Melina has no point to this thread so hush.

It's just an example of why it is unlikely people will care about Christy. Sure you could argue that TNA treats it as more of a wrestling division, but the fact that we are supposed to buy Christy as a threat to Kong pretty much confirms that this ISN'T the case.

I doubt anybody cares about Christy or her silly push.

That's pretty much the fucking point of being the underdog face, NOBODY believes she can beat the champion. Isn't that what the underdog is, someone people believe will lose?

Not really. The underdog should at least have a CHANCE believably.
Underdog means you have little to no chance of winning. That's the way Christy has been built recently. On iMPACT! she needed an assist from Styles to take Kong down for the fall. On paper, Awesome Kong wins. But this isnt on paper, if it was Rey Mysterio would never have beaten half the amount of people he actually has. Nothing gets more support for a wrestler like an underdog gimmick especially when they go against someone like Awesome Kong.
The reason it is Christy Hemme in the title match and not Rhaka Khan is simply fan reaction. Everytime Hemme is in the ring she has nearly the full support of the fans in attandance. When Rhaka Khan was faceing off against Kong, nobody cared about her. In the ring is a similar story, Christy Hemme can produce a good match with a decent amount of crowd reaction provided her opponent is good or better than her. Rhaka Khan would need a miracle worker to produce a good match against anyone.
Christy Hemme was the right choice and the only logical choice for the next opponent for Kong. Kong has beaten literally everyone she could have faced at Final Resolution at some point. ODB & Roxxi have been beaten a lot by her. Even Taylor Wilde eventually lost to her. Considering the Beautiful People are heel's like Kong and what i said earlier about Rhaka Khan, Christy Hemme was the only choice. Hemme had been playing the aspiring to improve wrestler for the past few weeks so it was no suprise that she wanted to try her luck against Kong.

Christy has drawling power? LOL I don't know about that one.
I say that they ditch the Raisha Shad gimmick and give us Cheerleader Melissa. Honestly TNA fans mark for anything....they would surely love Cheerleader Melissa.
Rhaka Khan and Christy are both terrible. But my opinion I don't think fans would really get behind Khan. Christy is a former WWE girl and a hot chick...sadly that is why more fans would get behind her?
But honestly I think fans are going to more so cheer Kong over Hemme or Khan. She is one of those heels that seemed to be liked by the fans.
