  • Former WWE Stars Interested In Joining TNA, Update On Sarita

    — Jon Heidenreich, a former WWE Tag Team Champion, was backstage at Slammiversary looking for work.

    Meanwhile, former WWE performer Kenn Doane recently noted the following on his Twitter account: “tna scouting for talent….. um…… im right here.”

    The former WWE Tag Team Champion worked a tryout dark match for the organization in March, but was not hired for undisclosed reasons.

    — On this week’s episode of TNA Xplosion, which airs internationally, a backstage segment ran teasing dissension between Sarita and Taylor Wilde.

    During the segment, Sarita is seen sulking on a bench in the women’s locker room with her tag team partner inquiring why she’s upset. Sarita says she was supposed to be in a tag match ‘tonight’, but found out she was scratched from the card. Wilde then assures Sarita that her match against Daffney — which takes place later in the show — was merely a ‘luck of the draw’. Sarita expresses more displeasure, indicating they’ve lost traction since losing the Knockout Tag Team Championship and that she wanted ‘tonight’ to be the starting point to get back to the top. Wilde says she needs her support and what’s good for her is good for Sarita. Sarita them mumbles in Spanish before the segment concludes.

    Daffney was originally declared the winner of her Xplosion match with Wilde, but Sarita protested the referee’s decision, informing him that she used an illegal object.

The match concludes when Sarita trips Daffney from the outside, allowing Wilde to roll her up for the pin.

  • Updates On Awesome Kong, ODB, Angelina Love, Sarita

    – Former TNA Knockout Awesome Kong is booked for several independent dates in Australia this summer under the name “Amazing Kong.” With those bookings in place, it seems unlikely that Kong would be able to join WWE until after the summer.

    – ODB told fans at a POWW Wrestling event held over the weekend that the reason she hasn’t been seen in TNA the past few weeks is due to a ruptured breast implant. According to reports, she had been working through the injury in order to hold off surgery following the Genesis pay-per-view back in January. She has since recovered as she worked the independent event, so her prolonged absence appears to now be a case of creative having nothing for her at this time.

    – Angelina Love will be hosting a “Gold Party” this Friday night in Washington D.C. at the Town Danceboutique alongside Tanisha of the Bad Girls Club and DJ Seth.
