Taeler Hendrix alleged in an interview over the weekend that TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter felt she was too ?heavy? to be on television.

 

Carter?s reaction was in response to Hendrix?s match against Mickie James on the June 6 episode of Impact Wrestling?her final bout for the organization.
 
?I do have my qualms. Don?t tell me on my birthday that I?m ?heavy? to be on TV,? Hendrix said about Carter on The Greg DeMarco Show. ?I?m a size three, that?s not fat at all! I?m a role model for young girls, there?s nothing plastic about me.?
 
Compared to her figure the year prior, Hendrix felt she was ?too skinny,? noting that she ?got really skinny just to get on television.? She continued, ?Someone said I looked like a skeleton, and then I started looking at my pictures and I was like ?Oh my God, I really do!? I?m taller than [most female wrestlers] but I?m not bigger than them.?
 
Hendrix also revealed that she put on weight following a recent cancer scare.
 
?On top of that, my cancer stuff came back. I had no choice to gain weight, and I?m really happy that I did,? said Hendrix. ?What I?m battling right now is cervical cancer?and when I say battling I mean I?m trying to not get it. I wasn?t setting a good example. I felt like I was a hypocrite. I would rather be healthy and stay cancer free.?
 
Hendrix also addressed her departure from TNA Wrestling, the mood in Ohio Valley Wrestling, Velvet Sky and other topics. Additional highlights from the interview are as follows:
 
Her departure from TNA Wrestling: ?It was kind of a whirlwind ? a long time in the making ? I was super-duper unhappy ? the All-American Dream ? BAM! Hit in the face! It?s not happening girl, wake up! I got papers in the mail to re-sign for another year in developmental at OVW for TNA ? Before I could tell them that I wouldn?t re-sign, I got the call the day before my contract expired to tell me I was released. ? Maybe they can use that spot for someone they actually know what they want to do with. ? I?m not offended?I?m a lot happier.?
 
Whether the mood in Ohio Valley Wrestling has changed since the recent TNA releases: ?Yes, actually. Now that I?m not signed anymore, I think I?m enjoying it more?from an OVW standpoint. ? It?s home? There?s wrestling every single week, you can?t get more work than that. ? I am loving my character right now, she?s awesome. ? She?s like that girl we all hated in high school. ? A lot of people who were released, they?re gone.?
 
Velvet Sky: ?She has found a way to stick it out ? and she was released at one point. ? Velvet Sky is money. ? And if I have someone who makes me money, I?m going to keep them around. ? She?s not the best wrestler in the world, but neither am I. ? She makes money. ? Velvet Sky has some of the most loyal fans in the world. ? She has a great personality, in ring and out. ? And you know what? She?s gotten much better. ? I?m a fan?she can keep letting the pigeons loose. ? That girl?s a hot commodity.?
 
Hendrix also discusses the online reaction to her release, her upcoming appearances for Shine Wrestling, how she keeps finding family in wrestling, her goals outside of the professional wrestling industry and more. To listen to the interview, click here.
 
Nice one, Dixie. Drop one of the rising female stars because she wasn't a skeleton. And to add irony to injury, did she forget who TNA's most popular knockout (that didn't come from WWE) of all-time is? Awesome Kong.

The following video has been released featuring Randy Orton being attacked by a fan after his match against Big E. Langston at tonight's WWE Live Event in Cape Town, South Africa. The incident takes place at about 1:15 into the video:

 

ImpactWrestling.com has just reported that legendary Japanese wrestler The Great Muta met with TNA officials at the TNA offices in Nashville, TN earlier today.

 

The report notes that TNA and Muta, who runs Japan's WRESTLE-1 promotion, discussed potential opportunities between the two companies.

 

According to PWInsider.com, Muta met with Jeff Jarrett and TNA's Andy Barton about potentially sending talent from his WRESTLE-1 promotion to TNA.

 

While it's merely speculation at this point, one would assume that if WRESTLE-1 does indeed send talent to TNA, then TNA would send talent to Japan in exchange.

 

The report noted that famed Japanese photographer Jimmy Suzuki was also present at today's meeting.

Even if nothing comes out of it, the way TNA is at the moment, it's still good news.

TNA's now teasing the bejesus out of their #August1Warning thing...

 

Makes it sound like it's another MMA fighter.

 

The Batista mention was because he retweeted the original video.

 

Can't really make out the reverse speak during the alarm clock sound; it's "This is the *unintelligible*", it might be "This is the truth".

 

 

Loads of names being thrown around; the ones I'm seeing most often (besides Bob Holly and Adam Pearce, which have already been mentioned) are Low Ki, Bobby Lashley, and Tito Ortiz. Ortiz is apparently seeking a UFC comeback due to money issues, so I could believe Bellator snapping him up and having him on the same deal as Rampage Jackson.

I thought Jeff ran the company really, not Dixie. If i were him i'd fire Dixie Carter for pile driving TNA into the ground. I want the old 6 side ring back too.

 

 

Nope. Double J's vice-president and minority shareholder. Dixie's president, and her dad is majority shareholder.

^ So yeah, it was a local wrestler trying to make himself famous. Well done, mate, now the internet will see you as a massive prick. (Y)

 

 

 

Right, regarding TNA's #August1Warning thing, I'm definitely putting my (imaginary) chips down on Tito Ortiz now after seeing this...

They're probably gonna use Impact Wrestling to help hype up the fight; a little cross-promo work.
