Mystery TNA Biker’s Identity Revealed, Flair-ESPN, Pope

— Graphics ran during TNA Reaction last night stating that iMPACT! and ReAction would not be airing next Thursday.

— Brian Fritz has an interview up with The Pope D’Angelo Dinero.

— Ric Flair was shown during the Southern Miss vs. South Carolina football game on ESPN. He blew a kiss to the crowd. ESPN noted Flair as a former pro-wrestler.

— Former TNA Women’s Knockout Champion Tara was revealed as the mystery biker on Thursday’s episode of iMPACT!. She removed both her helmet and mask following her tag team match victory over “The Beautiful People.” Tara, who’s real name is Lisa Marie Varon, announced on her MySpace account in late April that she would be leaving TNA Wrestling the following month after refusing to re-sign with the company. To explain her pending departure from the organization, Tara challenged Madison Rayne to a match at Sacrifice, where she would put her career on the line against Rayne’s Women’s Knockout Championship. Tara was defeated by Rayne and her TNA Wrestling career came to an end. After her wrestling career came to a halt, Varon continued to discuss a new contract with TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter. She returned to the organization on July 11 at Victory Road as a heel, hiding behind a motorcycle helmet and attacking Angelina Love during her match for the Women’s Knockout Championship. ‘Tara’ has denied being the biker woman all along as we continued to report that she was indeed scheduled for the role. She has always been known for trying to keep ‘secrets’ from the ‘net.
