Brooke Hogan touted the new TNA Knockouts division that she will now spearhead, saying it will be “more real” than ever before. Brooke elaborated on this point when speaking with the Busted Open Radio Show on Sirius 94/XM 208, stating:
“I think everyone is forgetting that they have a story and they have drama in their lives. What I admire so much about TNA is right now fans think that they know wrestling. They are like ‘oh everything is set up, all the storylines, all the plans, it’s a soap opera for men.’ And its true, that’s been happening for years in the wrestling business. What TNA is doing now is, and they couldn’t do it without whats really going on right now, these girls, they all actually have drama happening. There are people that are divorced, both working for TNA, dating other people. There is craziness going on. What’s great about TNA is that they are going back to real life and these matches are going to be between people who really have something to fight out. If they want to hurt each other, that’s their thing. But as far as I’m concerned we are making this more real. That’s why I’m coming in. There are personal issues behind closed doors that we need to resolve.”
Brooke — who will begin her on-air role as executive in charge of the Knockouts division Thursday on Impact Wrestling LIVE — also says Velvet Sky could be the next big thing:
“I think Velvet Sky is incredible. I think she is really, really good. ODB I think has already made a name for herself. I think she is self-sufficient. She has her little gimmick. She is a little raunchy. That’s what I love about her. But if you met Velvet in person, she is the sweetest, sweetest person. So polite. Such a sweetheart. That girl works so hard. She is dieting and training. She is wrestling in the ring even when they are not taping or filming. She is just working her butt off. I really think she deserves a push. I think she could be the next big thing in the Knockouts division.”
