And once the Kong/Kim angle is wrapped up, I'm really interested to see what happens with the proposed Awesome Kong/Trenesha (aka Naomi Banks) feud. Trenesha has the physical tools to be a credible rival for Kong, and she has the experience in Japan to put herself over in the ring. I have some monumental problems with the way some things are done in TNA, but I have to give them their due...they've done well by the women these last few months. Here's hoping they stay the course.

She's the reason TNA HAS a Knockout's Division, and her matches with Kong were uh ..um ... er...AWESOME.
