TNA Knockout Havok posted a lengthy blog on Friday addressing the ongoing rumors on the internet regarding significant pay issues within TNA in recent weeks/months.

Havok wrote the following about the subject:

I’ve noticed over the last few weeks, that TNA is getting a lot of heat for numerous things. “Dirt Sheets” are reporting this and that, from “Sources” unknown. Fans are ridiculing the company without knowing what is going on, and people in general are just hating on, and hoping for the end of the company.
“Sources” have even told “dirt sheets” that TNA fired me when they brought Kong in etc etc.

So last night, i tweeted that I never left TNA, and i’ve always gotten paid, so either support the company or shut up. Some of you guys didn’t like that, i admit i could have worded it differently. One says “Ok, so you are saying follow blindly or not at all? DERP DERP” and other thought “Well TNA does care what we think or a bog deal wouldn’t be made” BLAH BLAH!!!!

So, I guess i am going to explain a little better where i am coming from…

First of all, why are you going to get mad at me for defending the very company i work for? They have done nothing but help my wrestling career. They have given me a larger stage to perform for so many more people around the world. I have a much larger fan base now because of them, and they have let me be able to inspire so many “misfits”, showing them that you don’t have to l look like a model to live a dream.

As far as my pay, i have never been screwed over by them. They have always paid me exactly what i am suppose to, so again. Do NOT run your mouth about something you know NOTHING about. I am going out of my way to prove a point, they didn’t ask me to do this, they have no idea that i am putting it out there. This, again, is an example of me defending the company that has been good to me from the beginning. It isn’t fair. Do NOT get me wrong, fans , you are entitled to your opinions, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, like contracts, paychecks, booking, etc… When was that ever your business to begin with? It isn’t? are you wrestling? No.

There is nothing wrong with sitting back and enjoying the show. Fans are suppose to do just that. Don’t stress yourself out over something that doesn’t concern you to begin with.

The other thing that drives me nuts is that there are WWE fans, and TNA fans, and WWE fans HATE TNA, and vice versa. I don’t know why burying something or someone is needed. In my honest opinion, i feel fans should just support wrestling in general. And if you don’t like something, just don’t watch it, and don’t bury someone else for liking it.

I have friends who wrestle for WWE. My boyfriend is in NXT!!! I also have friends at TNA, i have LOTS of friends on the indies! We are all the same!!

I watch all wrestling. I watch TNA. I watch WWE. I watch NXT. I watch Indy stuff. Shimmer, shine, FIP, 2cw, CZW, New Japan, ROH, etc. Sure, there are things on each show i may not like, but there are also things i do like, and to me, it is entertaining.

I love wrestling and i support wrestling, and if you are a true fan, you should just support Wrestling. Not a certain *brand*, because i promise you, you will find something you like anywhere, the whole show may not be your cup of tea, but I’m sure there is something. Just open your eyes to the varieties out there!

I am sure there are some of you who will have a smart ass comment or two after reading this, but never fear! i don’t care :) You will be *blocked* . OR we can just agree to disagree. Thanks guys!!

– Havok’s appearance Friday night at SHINE Wrestling’s SHINE 24 internet pay-per-view led to speculation that she could be gone from TNA Wrestling since talent are typically prohibited from appearing on iPPV or televised pay-per-view events for other promotions. On Saturday, TNA Wrestling executive Bob Ryder squashed rumors of Havok being gone from the company.

In response to a fan question on Twitter asking to clarify her status, Ryder wrote, “Not sure why this continues to be an issue. She will be at our February tapings.”

– Below is an excerpt of a new Brooke Tessmacher interview where she talks about her goals and desire to have a shot against Havok:

“I have been gone this past year and can’t wait to prove myself again. It was something that I wanted to be was [a wrestler]. I wanted a chance to prove myself. I think I‘ve done that very well. Every time I wake up I think, ‘Wow, I’m a two-time champion. I did that. I know if I wanted to do it again, I could.’ It’s a dream come true.”

“I hope in January to be on the U.K. tour. I’m looking forward to working with Jessicka Havok. I would love to see what I can do in the ring against her. She is quite scary, obviously. I think I have mental prep from Gail Kim and Lisa [Marie Varon, a.k.a. Tara]. I also would love to have a few matches with Taryn Terrell. She is doing great and a good friend of mine, but I would love to see how we would do in the ring together. I think we could put on something amazing together.”

– Speaking of Tessmacher, she and Robbie E. finished fourth place on this week’s edition of “The Amazing Race” on CBS, which allows them to advance to next week.

Kurt Angle has announced that Angelina Love, Taryn Terrell and Madison Rayne will square off in a triple-threat match on this Wednesday’s edition of TNA Impact Wrestling to determine a new number one contender to Havok’s TNA Knockouts Championship.

It’s also worth noting that Velvet Sky vs. Havok for the Knockouts Championship has been confirmed for this Sunday’s TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view, which means there will only be two title matches on the company’s biggest show of the year, as Kaz Hayashi vs. Low Ki vs. Samoa Joe for the X-Division Championship is also confirmed.

TNA announced that Gail Kim suffered a separated shoulder during her match with Havok at Wednesday’s edition of Impact Wrestling. The injury is expected to keep her out of action “indefinitely,” according to an article on their official website.

Kim spoke to the official TNA website, saying the following regarding her injury:

“In all my years of being in this business, I have never experienced the pure evil of someone like HAVOK. To be the target for the title, that I’m used to but to have someone try to put me out indefinitely and end my career…

I have one message for HAVOK. I have overcome a lot in all these years. This will not be the end. Anyone who knows Gail Kim knows that I don’t back down from anyone. ANYONE. Now you have the target on your back. You know what they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall and I will be the one to bring you down”
