TAYLOR WILDE
What a year it has been for Taylor Wilde! Despite being introduced in 2008 with a big push, it was in 2009 that Taylor Wilde came into her own as a major asset to the Knockouts division. Her extensive resume in 2009 has included a Six Sides of Steel match, a ladder match, a Monster’s Ball match and a 10,000 Tacks match.
Beginning the year in a feud with The Beautiful People, Taylor Wilde and Roxxi fooled the then-duo into believing one Daffney was Sarah Palin, who later became known as ‘The Governor’. The feud led to The Gov, Taylor and Roxxi defeated a now trio of Beautiful People in a 3-on-3 match at March’s Destination X. Taylor then continued her feud with Angelina Love in a triple threat match for the Knockouts Title at Lockdown.
But it was spring through summer that Taylor had possibly one of the best Knockout feuds of the year — with The Governor, now unveiled Daffney. The twisted Knockout targeted Taylor and their feud led to a Monster’s Ball match at June’s Slammiversary followed by a 10,000 Tacks match just a few days later.
In August, Taylor was teamed up with Sarita [this year’s #9] in a one-off match. However after the chemistry that two shared, they were immediately put together into a team and went onto win the first ever Knockouts Tag Team Championship. The win made Taylor the first woman in history to hold both the Knockouts and Knockouts Tag Team Titles in TNA.
Taylor has had one hell of a year and is perhaps the dark horse of the Knockouts division. Her feuds this year haven’t necessarily been the main focus of the Knockouts division but she’s given her all into all that she’s been given.
