Though there are two sides to every story, one side is saying Tara was asking for a big pay increase and wanted to work less of a schedule so she could focus on outside projects like her motorcycle shop. Some believed she made about $400 per shot.

Interesting to note, Tara was never really recieved well backstage and not popular. For months now, people have claimed she carried herself at times like she was more important than others because she was a veteran who worked in WWE. TNA is known for having a real laid back atmosphere and Tara acted like a diva.

Also, a couple of months back Tara was in the middle of a situation where a number of Knockouts were complaining to Dixie Carter and Terry Taylor about certain Knockouts being too stiff in the ring. It got to the point where Dixie Carter had a sitdown with all the Knockouts and told them this all needed to stop and if Knockouts kept it up and she would start releasing people.

Tara is contracted until mid-May

Eric Sturrock sent this item. ... On her Twitter page, Madison wrote, "Have I mentioned lately how blessed I am to work for a company as great as TNA and plan to stay there as long as possible? Just sayin...... "

As we reported earlier today, Tara is leaving TNA in a few weeks and some are not sorry to see her go.

I can't wait to order some PPV's that feature Bubba Love Sponge wrestling. He's so entertaining!

In other news, I'm a freaking idiot.
 
The Hype boards are being B**** today.

If Tara does leave thats a big mistake on TNA's part. I think most of those girls deserve raises. I tend to believe her side of this more because of the way the company has been going and releasing talents in the last few months. Kong, Traci, Daniels, etc. They need someone to at least be a fresh Top heel against Love and presently someone to carry things while Love is injured.

I think TNA would have money to pay some of the supporting players if they weren't handing out big contracts to certain people. Kong proved what she was worth. Orlando Jordan and Shannon Moore haven't proved anything except that its good to know the right people. At least Victoria/Tara got the chance to have one last good run where she showed what she could do instead of having to hold back. Hopefully She and TNA come to a deal but if not its a real shame. The whole Knockouts division has taken a hit in the last few months

Speaking of TNA's screw ups I'm not surprised they want Daniels back . I'm sure there was some fan backlash as well as people in the lockeroom not happy. but once again TNA's cheapness comes into play. They want him per appearance. I kinda hope he turns them down.

Who in their right mind wants to see Bubba TLS wrestle?

I hope Shelton goes to TNA and reforms WGTT with Hass.

Daffneys one tough chick. She definitely deserves a raise.

WWE should try to keep Rey as long as possible since the Hispanic demo is growing so much. I bet thats the only reason Carlito has been kept around. Batista I can take or leave.

I was tired of Rikishi after he "did it for da Rock..." so I have no interest in seeing him back in WWE.

I'm Glad Bret is mentoring the Hart Dynasty. Nice to see he's taking a hand in keeping the Hart bloodline strong in WWE. I can't wait till they take on the SES. if Teddy Hart could clean up his act it could be a nice 4 on 4 war.

I hate Tara. She's annoying, she's a terrible wrestler and I'd rather watch a PPV with her spider battling Velvet Sky than watching her try and put a bunch of moves togethor.

I think TNA would have money to pay some of the supporting players if they weren't handing out big contracts to certain people. Kong proved what she was worth. Orlando Jordan and Shannon Moore haven't proved anything except that its good to know the right people.

Kong hasn't been missed. Orlando Jordan has a charismatic character that I can imagine being in the main events soon enough. He is someone I want to see wrestle, and someone who is representing a good portion of the wrestling audience in a respectful manner.

Speaking of TNA's screw ups I'm not surprised they want Daniels back . I'm sure there was some fan backlash as well as people in the lockeroom not happy. but once again TNA's cheapness comes into play. They want him per appearance. I kinda hope he turns them down.

I hope he returns as Curry Man. Because that's as good as it ever got for him. I'm sorry but Christopher who?

Who in their right mind wants to see Bubba TLS wrestle?

Me. He is probably one of the greatest heels in wrestling today.

I hope Shelton goes to TNA and reforms WGTT with Hass.

Lame. Been there done that. Since TNA is all about putting on a unique product to WWE, I don't see them doing this. At all.

Daffneys one tough chick. She definitly deserves a raise.

I kind of think she's over hyped. Hot, but over hyped. I'd much rather see her put me over in bed than seeing her wrestle.

WWE shoudl try to keep Rey as long as possible since the hispanic demo is growing so much. I bet thats the only reason Carlito has been kept around. Batista I can take or leave.

Screw Rey. He's old and tired. I'd much rather see a better wrestler like Carlito who has talent growing out of every single orifice be the huge breakout mexican star.

I was tired of Rikishi after he "did it for da Rock..." so I have no interest in seeing him back in WWE.

I would love to see him reunite with Too Cool and really light a fire int he tag team division with him being the Intercontinental Champion.

I'm Glad Bret is mentoring the Hart Dynasty. Nice to see he's taking a hand in keeping the Hart bloodline strong in WWE. I can't wait till they take on the SES. if Teddy Hart could clean up his act it could be a nice 4 on 4 war.

Bret should have realised after his woeful performance @ WM that atleast guys like Flair can still go!

I tend to believe Tara when it comes to the pay increase, and I see no problem in giving to her. She has earned the pay increase IMO. She busts her butt and is a great worker.

But I do believe Tara had an attitude backstage
 
This week's issue of the Wrestling Observer reports that Mickie James was moved to SmackDown this past fall because she'd didn't professionally handle breaking up a relationship from a top WWE star, thus resulting in company officials separating the two on different brands. For those curious, the wrestler in question is John Cena, who James knew full well is a married man.

Reportedly, James had become too much of a nuisance backstage at WWE events and some people in power wanted her "out of their hair."

Also note, this is not the first time in which a top WWE star involved in relationship has denied her advances as she tried hooking up with Randy Orton when she was just starting out on the main roster several years ago. Orton, who was engaged to be married, turned her down.

I've just never seen any indication of that out of her. She always seems to be regarded as nice and trying to get along with everyone. She never seemed to have a problem with jobbing. She took the pin that won Rayne the title after all. Lets not forget 2 important rules in life.

1. most women hate each other

2. some wrestlers are jealous of someone with a good spot

Put em together and your bound to have some people who didn't like her. I think its possible her confidence in her own abilities and worth may have been perceived as an attitude by some but her being an actual diva just doesn't jive. If this was all totally true it would have come out by now. It doesn't take long to hear about the big egos in wrestling and with her its never really come up. It just reeks of TNA trying to save face and certain people towing the line. Look at how Kong just got trashed on her way out by Hogan on BTLS's show.

The only thing I can believe is that she might be a little stiff in the ring but thats a reality of wrestling. Its not ballet.

Another one where I have too ask how much of it is true since she was on her way out and even before that WWE wasn't happy with her.

But The rumors about James hooking up with up and coming guys to get a better spot have been around for years. She certainly wouldn't be the first woman to do it. Thing is She doesn't need to do that cause she has the talent. Some women are just attracted to that power though.

Question I have is where they going out while Cena was engaged or even after Cena got married? if they were Cena looks somewhat bad in this too. But if it was before he even met his current wife I can't blame him for being annoyed with her. I'm surprised Orton didn't jump her bones back then.

Well since I don't know Tara and am not in the TNA lockerroom I don't have any real clue if she has an attitude or not. Let me rephrase what I said instead...I believe Tara does have heat with some people backstage in TNA.
