TNA-Tara Released

Yep, once again Tara (Lisa Marie Varon) is gone from wrestling.
On Tuesday TNA Tweeted....
"Impact Wrestling has released Tara. We thank Tara for all her contributions and wish her the best of success in the future."

Well there was a rumor that Lisa Marie was thinking about retiring soon. this year maybe.
But that doesn't make me any happier about it.

And I'm wondering if TNA is trying to kill the Knockouts Division ....again...
There are now left with:
Gail Kim
Mickie James
Miss Tessmacher (Inactive)
ODB (Knockouts referee)
Taryn Terrell
Velvet Sky

So you have FIVE women on the roster.
Are they calling up the reserves from OVW or is this just about it?
Maybe they should slap some tights on Brooke and throw her out there....

And what the heck am I gonna do with my Pinterest board now?????

The Impact Wrestling Knockouts Roster

I haven't done a rundown of the female TNA wrestlers, the TNA Knockouts, roster in awhile so here is the up to date listing....

The current TNA Knockout Roster:
Mickie James (The current TNA Knockouts Champion)
Gail Kim
The Blossom Twins (Hannah Blossom and Holly Blossom)
Lei'D Tapa
Madison Rayne (Maternity leave)
Miss Tessmacher (Hasn't appeared in over 30 days)
ODB
Taeler Hendrix
Tara
Taryn Terrell
Velvet Sky

And if you add in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in (as I always do with the WWE and NXT) you can add:
Trina Thompson (The current OVW Women's Champion)
Epiphany
Heidi Lovelace
Jessie Belle
Josette Bynum
Lovely Lylah   
Nikki St. John

I am really wondering why you are not hearing more about the incredible Trina Thompson.
If I were TNA, this lady would be headed for the "Big Leagues" with the other TNA Superstars post-haste

.

Taryn Terrell and Velvet Sky?

As you probably know, on March 21st on Impact, Brooke Hogan released Taryn Terrell from her position as Knockouts referee.

But then she said Taryn was officially on the Knockout Roster...so she can get her hands on Gail Kim (or whoever she wants on the TNA roster) legally now.

It seems Velvet Sky has decided to become her new BFF so I imagine you can start looking forward to Velvet/Taryn tag team matches, especially since she saved her from a two on one beatdown courtesy of Gail and Tara....

BTW...I again have to thank TNA / Impact Wrestling who post these clips to YouTube for everyone's enjoyment as opposed to that other wrestling promotion that seems to freak out constantly when people post videos. Be sure to go by and check out the TNA Official Website.

Tara - TNA Women's Knockout Champion Again

On October 14 at the TNA PPV Bound for Glory, Tara defeated Miss Tessmacher to win the TNA Women's Knockout Championship for her fifth time.

TNA

This makes her a 5 time TNA Women's Knockout Champion, a one time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion (with Brooke Tessmacher) and a 2 time WWE Women's Champion.
Her fifth reign in TNA ties her with former TNA Knockout Angelina Love who also held the belt five times.

I'm really happy that TNA decided to put the strap around Tara's waist again.
I'll even forgive the "Hollywood boyfriend", Jessie Godderz thing.

Tara vs Miss Tessmacher

Pretty cool TNA Knockouts match as Tara (the mentor) takes on Miss Tessmacher (the student).
I dunno...I just kinda like the way they presented the match.
You dont see matches like this anymore.

But looking at the end of the match...will Tara go "heel" and go after her friend's title?

Velvet Sky "Wrestling's Sexiest Woman"?

Well I said in the last entry that the last minute add on women's wrestling match at Wrestlemania 26 would probably be Kelly Kelly, Eve and Gail Kim taking on Michelle McCool, Layla and Maryse.
I wasn't far off.
It was Michelle McCool, Layla, Maryse, Alicia Fox and Vickie Guerrero taking on Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix.
See?
The WWE isn't predictable at all.

Michelle McCool, Layla, Maryse, Alicia Fox and Vickie Guerrero won at Wrestlemania, so they turned around and repeated the same wrestling match the next night on Raw.
This time the winners were Eve Torres, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix, and Gail Kim.

BTW...the WWE has some new Divas Wrestlemania pics up at their website here:
http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/photos/wrestlemaniadivasphotos/

They also have a gallery of the WWE Divas in their gowns at Saturday's Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony that you can see here:
http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/photos/halloffamedivasphotos/

And the WWE has signed yet another model, but at least this time they are going to use her as a ring announcer.
Florida model Brittney Beede has been signed to a developmental deal and she is using the name Jamie Keyes.
You may remember her as the winner of Kevin Nash's search for a new valet on TNA last year.


And speaking of TNA, remember what I said about TNA with Tara and Daffney?
Well they didn't go all the way with that, BUT, on the last TNA Impact, they did have Tara face Daffney in a First Blood Match for the TNA Knockouts Championship.


And in more TNA Knockout news, in the annual "PWI Poll" issue, Pro-Wrestling Illustrated named Velvet Sky "Wrestling's Sexiest Woman".
The list went like this....

Velvet Sky (TNA) - 14%
Maryse (WWE) - 12%
Melina (WWE) - 9%
Lacey von Erich (TNA) -7%
Kelly Kelly (WWE) - 6%
Cheerleader Melissa (Was TNA but now Indy) - 5%
Madison Rayne (TNA) - 3%
Others- 39%

So out of seven named women, four were TNA.
Are the Divas losing their edge?

Wrestling News and Rumors, Velvet Sky, Trish Stratus and More.....

Today's edition has lot's of female wrestling news and rumors, including Velvet Sky and her bikini, Info on the Final Resolution TNA PPV, Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus having a birthday, a couple of wrestling results and of course, some female wrestling pics.

Well the rumors continue (fueled by Ashley on her Twitter account) and we can add these tidbits....
"Thanks for asking my tattos are all good now and healed yay! And to answer ur ques i do plan on comin back to the ring...after traininwoohoo"

Since Lauren Brooke is leaving TNA, Christy Hemme may be taking over as the backstage interviewer.

At the TNA PPV Final Resolution, ODB will be taking on Tara for the TNA Knockouts Championship.

And speaking of Tara, she is currently pitching a reality show featuring herself, spotlighting her attempt to cross over from pro wrestling to mixed martial arts.

And speaking of ODB, she was beaten on TNA Impact! by the returning Nicole Raczynski, better known as just Roxxi.

Another TNA Knockout Madison Rayne, has a Wish List up on Amazon.com.
You can check out the list here.


And finally, TNA Knockout Velvet Sky auctioned off the bikini that she wore on the Victory Road TNA PPV DVD cover.
The bikini finally went for $830.00 on e-Bay.
Pretty impressive.
