Becky Bayless, Christina Von Erie and Katie Lea at TNA

A couple of Indy wrestlers have gotten try-outs at TNA lately.
As I mentioned last time, Becky Bayless and Rob Eckos are supposed to be doing a parody of "Jersey Shore" stars Snooki and The Situation, and Becky was teamed with Kazuchika Okada in a Dark Match.
Well it seems the try-out dark match didn't go too well.
Becky and Okada took on Shannon Moore and Christina Von Erie in a mixed tag-team match that was called by some "the worst dark match in history."

Lucha Libre fans may have seen Christina working for the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) wrestling promotion in Mexico.

In other good news, Katie Lea had a tryout with TNA as well.
If you have read this blog for long, you know I had my eye on Katie way back in July of 2007 when she just got to the States.
Kat had a tryout match with former Knockouts Champion, Madison Rayne using the name Katie Larue.
By all accounts that match went very well.

In the last entry I did the WWE Divas who scored a poor 7 out of 17 as far as wrestling background goes.
Expect the TNA Knockouts to do much better.
