Tara and TNA Wrestling Parting Ways, Getting Ugly

TNA Wrestling will soon be without one of their main TNA Knockouts.

Lisa Marie Varon, better known as Tara, announced that she will be leaving the company as soon as her contract is up in the middle of May.

The former WWE Diva recently sat down with TNA to negotiate a new contract, but talks broke down after the Dixie Carter run company refused to give her a raise.

It appears that the separation is going to be an ugly one.

“I was paid a fraction of what I thought I deserved,” Varon wrote on her blog. “But I wanted to show I was still at the top of my game. Now my contract is up in May. I want a modest pay increase. They don’t want to pay me what I think is fair. I have no problem going my own way.”

“But about 12 hours after the conversation where we didn’t agree on pay, unnamed sources claim that I am hard to work with and that I don’t give my best effort. My only response is that TNA made an aggressive effort to re-sign me, among other things saying that they want to build the women’s division around me. And I think wrestling fans see, both on TV and at live events, that I always give 100%. I take pride in that. . . Smearing me on the way out the door is an act of second rate character.”

There is a chance that she could wind up back with World Wrestling Entertainment to replace the void left behind by Mickie James.
