Tara Big TNA Problems & TBP - Refuses To Work With TNA Knockouts- Wants Return To WWE -

TNA Problems

Quote :

As reported earlier, Lisa Marie Varon (a/k/a Tara) has just over two weeks remaining on her TNA contract as her current deal expires on May 21. In a blog post last week, she indicated leaving the promotion as company officials declined her request for a "modest pay increase." She also expressed her displeasure with unnamed sources claiming she's difficult to work with and that she has not given her best effort for the promotion.

"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," Varon wrote in response to an online report. "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."

For what it's worth, a second party has indicated Varon being difficult to work with as the Wrestling Globe Newsletter reports receiving a number of stories on the multi-time champion burying her peers behind their backs to management. Among the stories cited are reports of Varon complaining about various female wrestlers on house show tours, refusing to work with certain individuals altogether, and squashing numerous storylines — all of which she denies.

Some time ago, management addressed her issues and told talent to handle their personal problems amongst themselves. It's been said that company president Dixie Carter wants no part of any backstage turmoil and doesn't want the office to get caught up in political games. She has made it clear that if the problems continued, the solution would be something talent will not like.

Problems With The Beautiful People

As reported earlier, it has been indicated that Lisa Marie Varon (a/k/a Tara) has buried her peers behind their backs to management. Among the stories cited are reports of Varon complaining about various female wrestlers on house show tours, refusing to work with certain individuals altogether, and squashing numerous storylines — all of which she denies. For those curious as to who she is having these issues with, they are all three members of The Beautiful People — Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky and Lacey Von Erich. The root of the matter is that The Beautiful People have refused to take some of her moves not to mention that she doesn't respect their in-ring ability.

As noted, Varon took her issues directly to management rather than discussing the matter with the trio. When the group received word of this, they confronted Varon and told her they should have come to them rather than breaking locker room protocol by going to management. The friction was bad enough that when Varon was called in to work a recent house show loop, she specifically asked to work with ODB on the tour — who wasn't originally scheduled for the set of live events. Company officials complied with Varon's request due to Madison Rayne being unable to appear (note - there is a unique reason for Rayne's absence and it will be disclosed in a separate report).

Varon never had a reputation for being difficult to work with during her time in WWE and it should be noted that various sources have stated that she's been easy going for the most part during her time thus far in TNA. Furthermore, some feel the matter may be more of personality clash as opposed to one side being right and one side being wrong.

On a final note, Varon has been telling people that she hopes to return to WWE once her deal with TNA expires.

Another ex-WWE wrestler thinking that wrestling for WWE in the past means your above every other wrestler in TNA and deserves a pay rise as a result.

...This is why TNA should focus on building up the TNA originals more.

I have to agree with you there Worthy.
