MCCHORD FIELD, Wash. --  The Exchange will host Total Nonstop Action female wrestlers, Angelina Love and Madison Rayne, for a base tour and meet-and-greet with troops in to show their appreciation for the military, Dec. 5-6.

The "Knockouts" will visit Fire Station No. 4 here on the fifth and will see a weapons simulation, visit the McChord Field and Lewis-Main Exchanges, and tour a C-17 Globemaster III with an aeromedical demonstration by the 446th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, Dec. 6.

"This is a cool event for Madison Rayne, whose husband is an Airman," said Patrick McGhee, Exchange Service general manager. "We just think it's cool when celebrities take time out of their busy schedules to make appearances during the holiday season."

The Canadian-born Love is a five-time Knockout Division Champion and a one-time TNA Knockout Tag Team Champion.

Rayne is the first Knockout to hold both the Knockout Championship and Knockout Tag Team Championships simultaneously, according to the TNA website. She made her Impact Wrestling debut first as a singles competitor. During high school, she was homecoming queen, a varsity cheerleader, ran track, and drama club member.

Dawn Hole, JBLM Lewis-Main Exchange operations supervisor hits home McGhee's earlier point when it comes to personalities visting base.

"We are always honored to have people who want to volunteer their time to come to JBLM and show their love and support troops," said Hole.
