Scott D'Amore to return to TNA, Knockouts division

Former TNA agent Scott D'Amore will return to the company and resume his role with the TNA Knockouts women's division, reports PWInsider.com. D'Amore will help fill the gap left by the firings of booker/agent Dutch Mantel and agent Savio Vega.

D'Amore had spearheaded the knockouts division upon its late 2007 inception. Using Gail Kim and Awesome Kong as the focal point, he quickly established the Knockouts segments as the highest rated, most watched segments of TNA Impact. D'Amore left the company in 2008, leading to a critical downturn of the women's division if not a ratings downturn.

While Gail Kim left in the interim for WWE, D'Amore now has a deeper, stronger stable of women's wrestling talent at his disposal, including new faces Tara (fka Victoria), Alissa Flash (aka Cheerleader Melissa) & Sarita (fka Sarah Stock).
