Let me start off by saying that I am not a loyal fan of TNA. As much as it tends to disappoint from time to time, I am a loyal WWE fan.
One thing that I must say that does catch my eye that belongs to TNA, is the a little group called “The Beautiful People”.
This group originally consisted of Angelina Love and Velvet Sky, and later Madison Rayne. These women are like a pack of wolves, if one encounters an issue with one of them, they must deal with the rest of the group.
In an earlier article, I made a comment on how women’s wrestling tends to be a draw, especially in ratings. In TNA this is, of course, true.
One can search any wrestling news site, look at rating breakdown of each show, and see that TNA gets its most rating from the women. As much as it is criticized, TNA does have one of the best women’s division around, only because it tends to focus on actual wrestling, rather than with looks.
It’s not the most popular, for I believe that award goes to WWE. I personally cannot think of any Knockout that fills in the role of the bikini model persona that WWE fans see in Kelly Kelly!
Each Knockout is truly an accomplished wrestler in her own right, from ODB all the way down to Madison Rayne.
Now back to my original point of view, “The Beautiful People” are arguably one of the greatest heels in wrestling today. The are essentially the “Mean Girls” of wrestling.
If one were to make a list of heel factions, in terms of entertainment and wrestling value, I am sure these ladies will get a mention. 
What makes these women stand out so much comes down to three things: arrogance, skills, and charisma. They can come off as annoying as hell (especially when Angelina makes some whiny promo), or as awesome as any top male wrestler.
Not many wrestlers have such traits. Some wrestlers are good in the ring, but crappy on the mic. Some are good on the mic, but crappy in the ring. Some don’t have both. There is a reason why wrestlers such as Jeff Hardy don’t cut many promos, they are not that good on the mic (not bashing Jeff Hardy, but it’s true).
These ladies are pure naturals. I do believe though that Madison Rayne is the greenest member, but Velvet and Angelina are naturals. They draw a rise out of the crowd from the minute they walk out into the area, especially in their ring entrance. These women know how to work the crowd, drawing a good amount of heat!
As I mentioned before, the women wrestlers are a draw. There was a time when “The Beautiful People” themselves attracted the highest rating for TNA, and were the most over heels in the company. Today, they are still one of the most over heels in TNA, and today in general.
TNA tends to have a consistency in having a Knockout match/segment in the beginning of the second hour. This position is considered one of the biggest segments of any wrestling show, as well as the last match, and opening segment. 90% of the time, “The Beautiful People” would be involved in the beginning of the second hour.
