Diva and Knockout House Show Results Over The Weekend
TNA House Show Results from Winston Salem, NC 9/21/12
(2) Mickie James pinned Gail Kim. Gail did the heelish tactic of pretending she was going to throw her t-shirt to the fans, only to hold it close to her as if it were too precious to her. Mickie was out next to a good pop. Gail tried to get in a cheap shot by throwing her shirt in Mickie's face only to have Mickie catch it and throw it to the fans. Some stalling by Gail at the beginning. Mickie got in most of the offense, including a Thesz Press off the ring apron onto the floor. Back in the ring, Mickie went for a huracanrana, but Gail blocked her right leg and started working on it. Gail went into a half-Boston Crab working on the injured right leg. Before going for a pin, though, Gail blew kisses at Mickie, who fought out and eventually went up top for another Thesz Press. It looked as if Mickie suddenly remembered she should be selling her hurt leg as she seemed fine after Gail kicked out and even looked to the crowd, then suddenly fell to one knee. Mickie then surprised Gail with a spin kick with her "good" left leg and pinned Gail after a DDT.

Congrats to Eve Torres on winning Star and Stripes on NBC and a huge check for the USO. I'm of the mindset that Eve Torres has ample range and can have a career in varying roles on WWE programming or outside of it. She's a MMA aficionado which garners great respect from yours truly. Plus, and most importantly, Eve is a grounded, good person who I feel WWE can depend upon to invest and build.
