How well is her pizza shop going? She may have gone to do that fulltime

Wow. She was always a prominent fixture on TV. I know she's 40 now but she still looked great and could still go.

Whoa. When has anyone ever gotten news on TNA releases without it being someone who looks at the roster page?

Seems like they're releasing anyone that they're not really doing much with. Can't say that I blame them really. Hopefully the Robbie's and Mr. Pectacular find TNA's future endeavor shelter to hideout for a while.

I will miss her ass. ....and see myself out now. Ditto. But seriously, I see her back in WWE in some capacity soon.

Very odd, especially considering Tara was a good veteran talent, and she actually had a good thing going with Jesse Godderz. I would have loved to see more stuff with her, Jesse and Robbie E.

I'm gonna guess this was a retroactive budget cut.
As someone who's been obsessed with her for years, yeah this sucks.
I think this tweet from an hour ago was a bit telling, but maybe I'm thinking too hard:
Lisa Marie Varon @taralisamarie 1h I need to watch some other shows besides wrestling 24/7. I just found out Cory Montieth from Glee past away. I'm so sad.

So the Knockouts division is Mickie, Velvet, Gail, Taryn, and Tessmacher (whenever she comes back) now?

I got to say, I can't say I'm sad to see her go.
I'd rather younger talent be given the ball and she's never really done much for me as a performer outside of her brief stint with Stevie in WWE. So she was wasting a space another Knockout could've been given and, at times, wasting pushes other Knockouts could've been given from my point of view.
Won't deny she likely had a big hand in helping Tessmacher become a better talent though, so there's one upside to her TNA run.

I was right. From PWInsider:
Tara was released by TNA earlier today as part of the company's latest cost-cutting. She was informed shortly before TNA publicly announced that she had been released.
There have also been about 3-4 departures from the production end of the company within the last several weeks.
There is expected to be some talent debuts at the Destination X Impact episode this Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky. The company is actively trying to freshen things up on a number of fronts.

I could see her being a coach for the Divas at the Performance Center.

her pizza place here in chicago is doing quite well so she will be fine. its always mega crowded for PPV's and they also do good numbers for RAW, Main Event, and Smackdown...they also have indie wrestling nights too which has great turn outs. and just recently had svengoolie night which had another great turn out. she will be fine. the place is in a great area for restaurants.

Sad to hear this, but hopefully she can come back to TNA when things are a bit more stable.

I will miss her ass. ....and see myself out now. Is there an ass-related "leave the memories alone," like with "leave the mammaries alone" for the chestically plentiful? On a serious note, I'm of two hearts about this. One, I'm gonna hate her not being on TV (although, she wasn't on TV all that much to begin with), especially since I know there's no chance of WWE taking her back. Then again, I gotta agree with EyeofTyr... to a degree. Had they released her to keep Rosita, I probably would have never thought twice about it, but in this case, it's not exactly like they're releasing her to make room for new blood in the Knockouts division. They're just... releasing her.
