First Billy Corgan's NWA announced their all women's event, then Ring of Honor 'really quickly' copied that idea with their women's tournament, and NOW, Impact Wrestling, seeing how good the NWA's Women's event was, is now jumping on the bandwagon.
I guess if you're gonna copy an idea, it is nice that they're not ripping off WWE, like many wrestling companies often do.
Impact has announced Knockouts Knockdown, an all-women event that will tape this coming weekend to air in October.
Gail Kim was joined by former Impact star Christy Hemme live on Impact’s Facebook page this afternoon. The show will air on October 9 on Impact Plus and will tape this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Skyway Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Kim announced that Deonna Purrazzo would be on the card, defending the Impact Knockouts title against a mystery opponent. Ticket information for the tapings can be found here.
Other names that Kim mentioned during the stream include Lady Frost, Renee Michelle, and Mercedes Martinez, all of whom will be appearing on the show. Additionally, a Monster’s Ball match will take place that will be dedicated to the memory of Daffney, who was the first woman to take part in a Monster’s Ball match against Taylor Wilde back in 2009.
NWA EmPower, which also had an all-women's card, took place last month. Deonna Purrazzo successfully defended the Impact Knockouts title on the show, defeating Melina.
Here's the announcement by Gail Kim and ChristyHemme.
