TMZ.com covered the TNA Knockouts Last Woman
Standing match from this past Sunday's Slammiversary pay per view event. The
tabloid published exclusive photos of Taryn Tarrell's bruises. Taryn released a
statement about the match to TMZ. She said:
"People underestimate me for
being blonde and bubbly, but I'm an athlete, and I have a passion for wrestling
... I'll do whatever it takes to prove people wrong."
Douglas Williams, Alex Silva, Jesse
Sorensen, and Todd Keneley have all been removed from the TNA roster
page.
Douglas Williams remains a trainer for OVW, TNA's developmental
territory. Jesse Sorensen has taken a backstage role within the company, and it
is unknown what Alex Silva's current situation is, as he has been absent from
OVW for awhile.
Todd Keneley posted the following message
via his twitter
account following reports that he has been released from his announcer
position on Impact Wrestling. He wrote:
Thank you so
much for all of the support and compliments on my work. Can't tell you how much
I appreciate it. Really making my day!
TNA Announcer Todd Keneley has been
dropped from the promotion's announce team. TNA sources indicate Keneley was
informed by the promotion at the Slammiversary PPV, which as of now, was his
final appearance.
Keneley was brought into the promotion by Executive
Producer Eric Bischoff, who had used him on several previous projects. He
debuted for the company in October 2012.
The plan going forward is to
revert back to the old Impact Wrestling two man announcing team of Mike Tenay
and Taz.
TNA sources indicated the door was left open for Keneley to be
used down the line if a role was found for him. He was not dropped because of
unhappiness with his work, but rather a decision to streamline the announcing
team and he was not under contract and had the least seniority.

I have an ironclad contract! he screamed
through the phone. Ill take time off any time I want to, for as long as I want
to! I dont care if Booker doesnt like it. Im a giant! I dont do what other
people tell me to do. They do what I tell them to do. Ironclad means I answer
to no one. That includes Booker, and anyone else in WWE management.

all the new talents being signed by WWE, they are all reporting to developmental
in July, once the new Performance Center in Orlando is ready. ROH star Mike
Bennett is still expected to be one of WWE's new signings.
- Apparently Samuray del Sol has not been officially signed by WWE
yet as some medical tests are still going through. EVOLVE issued this statement
on Samuray this week:
"There are many rumors about Samuray Del Sol going
to WWE. Del Sol, who has risen as todays hottest lucha star, will challenge
Open The Freedom Gate Champion Johnny Gargano for the title this Sunday night on
live iPPV at WWNLive.com from Ybor City, FL. He is also in a big match tomorrow
night in Orlando against Anthony Nese and Saturday in Jacksonville vs. upcomer
Shane Strickland. We have been assured that should Del Sol win the title, he
will be back on the July 27th and July 28th events in New York City to defend
the belt. Could we see The Summer Of Del Sol?"
Well, that is
definitely my belief, yes. Its another opportunity for me to wrestle for that
[TNA] world title and the stipulations are pretty high. So itll be a big night
for me, no matter how you look at it.
On Bully
Ray:
Bully Rays been
pretty impressive. Hes done a great job; thats for sure. Hes figured it out.
A lot of times guys, whove been in the tag team situation for that many years,
its hard for them to transition into singles. A lot of them who have tried have
never really successfully done it, but Bully Ray has found a niche and a way,
and he has done a good job.
His current
goals:
After all the year
Ive been doing this, I want [TNA] to be a good product. I want wrestling fans
to be satisfied. I want to please people. The overall goal is to be entertaining
-- to keep people very interested in tuning into TNA.
on not retiring from pro wrestling:
I know theres some
negativity out there as ell, but for the most part, its the whole nostalgia
thing that I keep talking about. Retro fans just dont want to say good-bye to
Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair or Undertaker or Sting, he said. Theres only a
handful of my generation. Of course, Flair and Hogan, theyre the generation
before me. They dont want to say good-bye to the last remaining few, and thats
a good thing for me, a good thing for us, and I appreciate it. Im grateful for
it.
On advice he gives to the younger
wrestlers:
Stay away from
drugs, pills and alcohol. Stay away from the women. Stay away from the politics
-- the behind the scenes stuff that goes on, Sting said. Just get out there
and entertain. Work your butt off, take care of yourself in and out of the ring
and turn to God.
That was a huge
part of my wrestling career, turning to God. If I didnt, I probably would have
ended up like one of those guys who youve read about.
Ive had wrestlers
over the years, many of them, including last week [Impact Wrestling at the USF
Sun Dome] in Tampa, one of the biggest names talking to me about God and asking
me questions. Theres a reason for it. They know I was them. In other words, Im
not going to condemn anybody or point my finger at anyone. I ran with the best
of em and did what I did all those years on the road, and they know
it.
They have seen a
change in me, and they ask, Howd you do it? And I tell them how I did it.
Some of them have been in and out of so many different types of trouble and
rehabs. Im there to try to be a rock solid sounding board for some of the guys,
and thats been a good thing.
On the creation Of
The 'Crow Sting' Character:
"Im going to go
down in history as one of my characters being the Crow Sting, but it actually
started with Eric Bischoff, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall [in WCW] with one of their
nWo vignettes, an edgy, brainy kind of deal. Wrestling was changing, and my
character hadnt changed, but I knew it was time to do that. I was sitting in a
hotel in Casper, Wyoming. I was with Eric Bischoff and Scott Hall, and Scott
said, [Sting impersonates Scott Hall -- not bad], Im thinking trenchcoat and
put white paint all over your face. So I started thinking about it.
I remember going
through an airport, and you know how the magazine stand has a 100 magazines.
Well, there was Marilyn Manson of all people on one of the covers, and he had
this weird looking paint on his face, and I went, Wooooh. So I kind of took a
little bit of that and then just created what I created.
