On her Facebook page, former WWE Diva Tammy “Sunny” Sytch had some rather harsh things to say regarding Lacey Von Erich’s “less than stellar” TNA debut last week (many online have criticized the clothesline she delivered to Taylor Wilde upon jumping the ring).

Sytch’s original status update is as follows: “Tamara Lynn Sytch wants to know who else thought Lacey Von Erich’s TNA debut was less than stellar?? Man, she sucks!”

Here are further comments she made regarding the TNA newcomer under her status update:

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “i mean, shes so bad, WWE fired her from developmental after 4 months… I thought TNA prided themselves on girls who could WORK!”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “hey, it’s not hard at all to LOOK hot…it’s a lot harder to know how to work”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “nope, not a single ounce of jealousy Tim…just wondering where the business that I grew up loving has gone. Talent just doesn’t seem to matter anymore”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “how can I be jealous of a disrespectful no-talent bimbo who is only in the business b/c she was born to a suicidal drug addict?”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “no personal issue with her…it just aggrivates me when some get jobs and dont deserve it, when there are plenty of girls out there with looks and talent who should have those spots”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “hey, I never relied on my looks for ANY job….think about it…I was one of the girls who was actually GOOD on the mike. I never said I was a wrestler…Im not. Never was. Never will be. do what I do for 20 years and you earn the right to critique the work of others…dont like it? Dont listen. Easy as that.”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “i agree.. Trish started a whole new era of women’s wrestling.,I tell her that every time I see her…You see, I gladly give credit where credit is due…. but Lacey doesn’t know how to handle herself in the ring, or out of the ring among her peers either…trust me, she’s not a popular girl, for more reasons than one.”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “ok…so if Uncle Kevin says do it, does that make you good? If your uncle told you to be a plumber, would you be good at it?”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “no, ive seen her work on indies that Ive been on…there’s no helping that situation…she’s bad. Candice was better than her.”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “I also heard she’s walking around the locker room like she owns the place… Just wait til Kong gets a hold of that!”

Tamara Lynn Sytch: “the only thing she has going for her is her looks…its sad”

— TNA Wrestling has signed two of their top young stars to new longterm contracts, according to ProWrestling.net. A.J.

— Fans who are ordering TNA Bound For Glory on 10/18 will have to fork over an extra $10 more than the usual TNA PPV. Both Comcast and Time Warner Cable are listsing the event as $39.99. No word yet on whether the price change is permanent moving forward or if its just for TNA’s showcase event of the year.

— Thursday’s edition of TNA iMPACT! drew a 1.1 rating, on par with what the show has been doing in recent weeks.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read at JRsBarBQ.com.

Here’s what JR said about:

JBL Missing Decade of SmackDown: JBL was unavailable to attend the 10 year SD show but he’s doing great in business and life in general. John is playing golf this weekend at Pebble Beach…not bad for a country boy from West Texas.

Vickie Guerrero’s WWE Return: It looks as if Vickie Guerrero may be returning to Smackdown as a manager. More on that Friday night on Smackdown.

Bobby Heenan: Lots of talk at the Roundtable about the amazing Bobby Heenan who was virtually a lock for best manager ever by our panel. He got my vote.

Hell in a Cell: Hell in a Cell this Sunday will be an adventure with three main events inside the Cell. I’m intrigued as to how they will all have their own identity and look forward to the PPV

— Former TNA performer Angelina Love was reportedly backstage at one of the Impact tapings in Orlando last week, which is quite startling given her ongoing visa issues. It’s been indicated that she’s living in the area despite the fact that she was let go by the company because her work visa had expired.

The buzz in the locker room at last week’s television tapings was that Love would not be returning to the company because officials had determined it would cost them too much money to work out the problem.

On another note, the backstage opinion of Love is not high among those in the TNA locker room. The ex-Knockout was not popular among most in the locker room and the term “karma” has been brought up by more than one person regarding her ongoing problems.

To further add to the story, in an interview published in today’s Miami Herald, Lacey Von Erich — Love’s replacement in “The Beautiful People” — said she had not heard good things about her before joining the organization.

“I’ve never met Angelina before in my life,” Von Erich said. “After what some people have said, I don’t know if I want to.”

Von Erich said that upon joining TNA, she thought the sentiment was going to be, `Oh no. Angelina is gone,’ but not one person in the company said that — according to her.

“Nobody really missed her that much,” Von Erich added.

— “The Beautiful People” member Madison Rayne has posted a blog on her MySpace account talking about she’s been up to as of late.

Contrary to what’s been reported online for months now, Sting is not expected to retire following this month’s Bound for Glory Pay-Per-View. As things currently stand, TNA has no plans on adding a “retire or win the title” stipulation to his match with AJ Styles at Bound for Glory — which was initially planned. On television, Sting’s match has not been pushed as his final anything as he is expected to remain with the company at least a little while longer.

In is believed Sting has signed a new deal, but the word going around is that it was for six months rather than another year, once again indicating he’s thinking about retiring in the near future. Although, it’s been “one more year” since 2006 as every year since then they have convinced to stay. However, he has suggested doing a farewell tour in 2010.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, TNA officials really want to bring in Ric Flair to be involved in Sting’s eventual farewell, but out of loyalty to Vince McMahon, Flair told people that he’s not even listening to TNA.

The Miami Herald recently conducted a lengthy interview with Velvet Sky. Candidly, the TNA Knockout gives her thoughts on Angelina Love’s shocking departure from TNA, how her former partner is doing these days, the future of “The Beautiful People” going forward, and much more. Here are a few highlights from the interview:

Her initial reaction to Angelina Love’s departure from TNA: “It came out of the blue,” Sky said. “We did three TV tapings. She was supposed to go to [TNA’s] Germany tour. The travel was booked, and the pay-per-view match was booked. It was supposed to be her and I against Sarita and Taylor Wilde.

“A week and a half after we finished the TV tapings is when I got the phone call, saying this is what happened. ‘Oh my God.’ TNA reassured me that Madison and I were going to keep the group going. They weren’t going to let the group die. They said we all worked so hard, and we were so good in that group. So we were excited about that.

“Angelina told both of us to keep it going strong. She said, `Don’t let anyone or anything ruin what we built.’ We won’t let anyone or anything ruin what we’ve work so hard to build. It’s not going to happen. Not on my time. That’s real. I mean that.”

How Angelina is doing nowadays: “I keep in contact with [Angelina]. She is doing OK, and she is going to be just fine,” Sky said. “There was a lot of negative stuff that was said about her on the Internet like why she got fired, what’s going to happen. You can’t always believe what you read on the Internet.”

Whether “The Beautiful People” will have a new leader as a result of Angelina’s departure from the group: “I don’t think there is a need for a leadership role in The Beautiful People. Who’s to say I’m better than her, or she’s better than me,” Sky said. “I don’t think The Beautiful People ever needed a leadership role. I view us as equals, 50/50. I think we should have the same amount of promo time, ring time, whatever the case may be. It’s a team.”

The founding member of “The Beautiful People” also discusses her start in the professional wrestling industry, her family’s tremendous support of her when she was struggling on the indy scene, how “The Beautiful People” came about, the Knockouts division, her ring outfits, and much more.

Nature Boy Ric Flair’s ex-wife Tiffany appeared on the Unholy Matrimony radio show over the weekend and commented on his decision to come out of retirement and wrestle Hulk Hogan in Australia next month. “I’m very disappointed,” Tiffany said. “The WrestleMania and the Hall of Fame was so unbelievable and it was such a proud moment. No matter what I’ve been through with him, I was really, really proud to be part of that.

“It’s really unfortunate that he’s coming back under these circumstances, because that should have been the last day he wrestled. It was phenomenal and he should have been proud of that and it should have stayed that way.”
