Former WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Lisa Marie Varon (Victoria, Tara) talked about her time in TNA recently on Jim Ross’s The Ross Report podcast. Varon said TNA was so disorganized that once she learned about being booked for a pay-per-view by reading the announcement on Twitter but still had no travel information and hadn’t even been told about the booking.
Varon, who owns The Square Circle pizza restaurant in Chicago, talked about how she once spent $6,000 of her own money to promote a TNA event in Chicago. She did a lot of promotion for the show, without being asked to, and wasn’t happy when TNA sent her posters for the show that featured another Knockout instead of Varo, a local celebrity. Varon says she talked with Dixie Carter about all she did to help the company and all Dixie had to say was, “Yeah, I heard.”
Varon also talked about how two people in the TNA office sent out an e-mail to the roster telling them to promote another pizza place in Chicago as the best pizza they have ever had. Varon found out about it and blew up at TNA’s Bruce Prichard. She told Prichard, “The day I quit my job, I am going to punch that c**T in the face.” The threat was was referring to Dixie and Varon said Prichard responded, “You’ll be doing all of us a favor.”

Jeremy Borash sat down with TNA President Dixie Carter for an Exclusive interview. Dixie discussed TNA’s past with Spike TV, future with Destination America and everything in-between.
You can listen to the interview at ImpactWrestling.com at this link.
In a interview for the Royal Ramblings blog at Huffington Post, TNA President Dixie Carter, who discussed TNA’s move to Destination America, responded to Vince McMahaon saying that TNA wasn’t major competition for WWE:
“Well I think it’s ridiculous to say that we’re not competition. If we weren’t competition they wouldn’t try to stop our growth at every turn. We’re both wrestling companies and so competing for the same networks internationally and the same ticket sales globally and therefore you are competitors but all we can do is focus on what we do best. My big focus for 2015 is to further distinguish our product from anybody else’s out there. What can we do better and what have we been doing great that we can take to another level. We’re going to be announcing in the coming weeks some really exciting changes to our show and that’s a big part – trying to make our brand more distinctive than not just WWE but other wrestling companies around the world.”
Today is a huge day for TNA. It’s a new milestone that Dixie Carter and company have reached. It deserves to be celebrated. Further more everyone should be excited about this news: here are a few tweets from TNA employees expressing their excitement on the new deal with Destination America

As noted earlier the big announcement we had all been waiting for from Dixie Carter was revealed moments ago. The announcement was that TNA officially has a new home. The new home is none other then Destination America. Destination America is a channel known for celebrating and highlighting what makes the good o’l USA unique and what better way to do it then with wrestling?
Looks like Christmas has come early because this announcement is awesome. As someone who’s only been watching TNA for nearly 3 months I am thrilled that they’ll still be able to showcase what they have to offer, and I’m sure when I say that I’m speaking for long time fans as well
There’s a lot of people out there who think TNA is a 2nd rate show but really that’s not the case. Their in ring action is miles better then the stuff you see on Raw and their talent is filled with individuals who have wrestling in their veins.
Now I’m not saying WWE doesn’t have that. What I’m saying is the TNA roster does what they do for the LOVE of wrestling and nothing more, and that’s something that shows in the “6 sided ring”
So here’s to a bright future for TNA. Maybe now with this new tv deal people will wake up and see that it’s not just about the WWE. TNA is scheduled to air on Destination America stating January 2015. Talk about starting off the year with a bang
