Honour Magazine's Top 50: #48 Velvet Sky


Throughout the past eighteen months the TNA Knockouts has been in a period of transition.  After over-using a slew of former WWE Divas, the brand seemed set on using a home grown Knockout to front the entire division.

At TNA's biggest event of the year, Velvet Sky stepped into the role when she became Knockout's Champion for the very first time.  Since joining the organization in 2007, Sky has been short on titles but now on exposure.  Usually talking the talk but falling short when walking the walk, expectations with her Knockouts Title reign were slim.

Nontheless Sky was able to engage in an entertaining rivalry with Madison Rayne and Karen Jarrett before dropping the title to the returning Gail Kim

Though her title reign lasted just over a month, it was the chase that put Sky into the spotlight.  Sky made the most of having more time to wrestle and utillized her opportunity to speak.

Though Velvet has falled at the wayside with the return of Gail Kim, it wouldn't be a shock to see her elevated back into the title match.  Velvet Sky has proved herself to be an engaging figure on the microphone and a competent worker in the ring.
