If there is one thing that Impact Wrestling can be praised for since they debuted in 2002 is the focus that they have put on women's wrestling. While they have had missteps like other companies, Impact management has often made a genuine effort to showcase their female athletes in a positive way, and the Knockouts Division has maintained a strong footing as a big part of their organization.
While some of the most well-known Knockouts in the company's history - like Gail Kim and Deonna Purrazzo - have built their careers with the company, there have been many more Knockouts who spent little time there. In fact, there have been numerous women who have spent only one match with the promotion and were never seen again. For some, their appearances with Impact Wrestling would be the highest achievement in their wrestling careers.
10 Jenna Morasca
While Impact has featured some incredible matches in both the men's and women's divisions, they have also showcased some that were downright terrible wrestling matches. Unfortunately, former Survivor winner Jenna Morasca's one-and-only wrestling match is considered to be one of the worst ever in the company's history.
During her brief appearances with the company as an associate of the Main Event Mafia, Morasca feuded with Booker T's wife Sharmell leading up to Victory Road 2009. Sharmell has only had a handful of matches in her career but was not able to carry Morasca to a passable match, and she was shown the door after this one appearance in the ring. These days, Morasca is, unfortunately, battling some personal demons and has stepped away from the spotlight to try and recover.
9 Lacey Von Erich
The daughter of Kerry Von Erich spent time in TNA during her early career as a member of The Beautiful People. She was not a permanent member of the group and was featured as a replacement for Angelina Love for a brief period. During her short stint with the company, she was able to achieve a Knockouts Tag Team Championship reign but has been widely forgotten as a member of the roster.
Following her final Impact wrestling match in 2010, Lacey has not wrestled since. She has since dabbled in acting, modeling, and running her own advertising agency, but has yet to make another appearance as a Knockout. She was not known for being the strongest in-ring performer but was a strong asset to the company while she was performing.
8 Sirelda
Being paired with AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels right out of the gate is a big deal in Impact wrestling, and Sirelda was given the biggest platform when she made her debut with the company. Unfortunately, it was not a stepping stone to anything bigger in her career as she quickly fizzled out and is a small footnote in TNA's history.
Despite her strong start with the company, Sirelda only wrestled two matches on the roster and then quietly left the promotion. Reverting to her previous ring name - Jamie D - she returned to the independent circuit but was not able to reach the levels of her previous platform. Ultimately, she decided to retire from active competition in 2017 but never made another appearance with the company.
7 Kim Couture
Crossovers between Mixed Martial Arts and professional wrestling are not uncommon given that the sports have similar skill sets. While Ronda Rousey was able to parlay her WWE success into a great run with the company, others quickly fizzle out. While Kim Couture was not an MMA superstar, she did try her hand at professional wrestling very briefly in 2009 when she made an unannounced appearance during a Knockouts Championship match.
Unfortunately, her one-and-only appearance attacking Tara during a match did not turn into anything further as she did not make any other appearances. It is unknown why her deal fell through, but she has also not performed as an MMA fighter since 2014 and has quietly retired from active competition from that sport as well.
6 SoCal Val
Despite always having a focus on women's wrestling, Impact Wrestling has also been known to focus on the female figure instead of just in-ring action. SoCal Val was employed by Impact Wrestling for seven years as both a ring announcer and ring-girl but never stepped foot in the ring as a performer. Unfortunately for her, she made little impact otherwise with the company and is not remembered often by fans as a result.
After leaving Impact in 2013, she fluttered around several independent promotions across the United States in non-wrestling capacities. These days she can be found hosting YouTube channels and appearing on World of Sport Wrestling as a commentator but has not appeared as a Knockout since 2015.
5 Goldylocks
When fans listen to some of the theme songs for their favorite wrestlers, it is possible that they were produced and performed by someone who spent a brief stint on-camera in 2004. Goldylocks has made some of the Knockout's theme songs over the years, but most fans have widely forgotten about her on-camera appearances. Paired briefly with Abyss and Alex Shelley, she was an eye-candy Knockout who fizzled out of the company very quickly.
These days, Goldylocks has continued to produce music but has also parlayed into a television career. While her musical talents are still heard during some Knockout matches, most fans would be hard-pressed to remember what she accomplished in the Impact Zone.
4 Salinas
Alongside the Latin American Xchange, Salinas was brought in after her WWE stint to help assist her group but only stayed in the company for the length of a cup of coffee. Despite being featured in several mixed-tag team match matches with Homicide and Hernandez, she is not remembered for her stint with the company. In fact, most fans remember her for the time she spent in WWE's ECW instead of Impact.
After her short stint with the group, she made one final appearance during a TNA One Night Only event in 2016 before retiring from wrestling in 2017. She has tried to maintain a place in the spotlight by appearing on television shows, but she has stayed out of the professional wrestling industry.
3 MsChif
TNA's Xplosion show has featured many up-and-coming wrestlers attempting to obtain a contract. MsChif has worked hard to maintain a presence on the independent circuit in companies like Ring of Honor and SHIMMER, but only wrestled one match in Impact Wrestling during her career. In a very brief appearance, she tried very hard to showcase her skills in an attempt to land a long-term contract, but it did not turn into anything for her.
After taking some time off in 2014 to focus on her marriage to wrestler Michael Elgin and growing their family. Unfortunately, the situation turned south and they divorced in 2020, which has assisted in Elgin's downward spiral. MsChif has not commented on the situation publically, but a return to the ring has yet to be a topic of discussion during a very trying time in her life.
2 Rosie Lottalove
Sage Beckett was brought in to TNA as Rosie Lottalove, which was a thinly-veiled joke on the fact that she was heavier than the other women on the roster. Thankfully, she was able to surpass that nickname by showcasing her in-ring skills and charisma, but Rosie is not remembered like other Knockouts in the company because she did not make many appearances.
Thankfully for her, she was able to shed her previous ring name and begin performing under the name Sage Beckett for NXT. During her time with the company, she experienced a dramatic weight loss, which may contribute to fans not connecting her two characters together as the same performer. Unfortunately, she was released in 2018 and has not appeared in a wrestling match since.
1 The Blossom Twins
As TNA's version of The Bella Twins, Hannah and Holly Blossom were brought in to TNA to showcase their own brand of twin magic, which focused on bringing cupcakes out to the ring before their matches. Despite being charismatic and solid in the ring, they were not able to catch on as well with fans and failed to make a big impact in the company.
Following their release from the company in 2014, they both decided to take some time off of wrestling and have not made any large-scale appearances since. However, considering that women's wrestling has reached even higher milestones since their previous appearances, the time would be right for them to consider making another splash on the circuit.
