Who Asked for Their TNA Release?, TNA Champ Considered WWE

ODB
Partial source: PWTorch Newsletter

- As reported earlier, reigning TNA Women's Knockout Champion ODB recently inked a multi-year deal with the organization. Her contract renewal with the organization actually came as a surprise to friends as she had been discussing jumping to World Wrestling Entertainment when her previous contract expired in mid-November. She had been telling people the past two months that she didn't think management even realized her contract was coming due because no one had mentioned it to her.

- As seen last week on iMPACT, TNA President Dixie Carter essentially said during her speech at the top of the hour that anyone who wasn't on board with her recent changes to the organization should find work elsewhere. As it turns out, five wrestlers had asked for their releases from the company in recent weeks including Frankie Kazarian (a.k.a. Suicide) and Homicide — we don't have the names of the three other wrestlers. Nobody received their release in the end.

ODB considered jumping to WWE? Thank Goodness that did not happen because she would been ending up JOBBING to The Bella Hoes if she jumped to WWE. Smart decision to stay in TNA ODB!!!!!]

odb in WWE?... she doesnt have what it takes... the wrestling is weak, and her image is not WWE like... staying in tna was smart for her, she wouldnt make a living in WWE anyway... i bet WWE had no interest in her anyway... can you say attempted bargaining power?...

as for the 5 guys... how f*cking smart are they?... they get a chance to get off the titanic before captain dixie and first mate hogan drive into the iceberg... and who the hell is dixie anyway to make a statement as bold as "my way or the high way"?... isnt it common sense that you need to do something before you get respect?... she has done nothing... she deserves nothing... i hope more people take her up on her offer...

STFU i know you have been critizing TNA for a long time and you do have valid points about how they're going as a company, but i will disagree with you on ODB.

You said she doesn't have what it takes and her image is not WWE like. Well the last time i checked WWE doesn't take Women's Wrestling Seriously anymore, all they do is signing supermodels & cheerleaders just to make a joke out of women's wrestling just as Vince McMoron wants them to do. And ODB would kick the living SH## out of most of the Divas in WWE and we all know that, but Vince will not let that happen. As i said it before ODB in WWE would end up JOBBING to girls like The Bella Hoes, Alicia Fox, Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres,etc........
Don't believe me? Ask Gail Kim and Victoria now Tara in TNA for example......

actually reaper, i think we are on the same page... both of us think womens wrestling is a joke, both of us are aware that WWE women are eye candy, and both of us think odb would be a jobber...

i still think that odb is a poor wrestler... i dont care how tough she may be in "real life"... her tv persona is where the industry lies... odb is a sloppy wrestler, basically a brawler, and relies on her gimmick to get over... nobody has ever said that odb is a ring tactician, and i am willing to bet that it will never happen... her gimmick works in gimmick happy tna, but as a sports entertainer she is a bit soft...

womens wrestling in any company is basically dead... vince hires athletic models to do 3 minute matches and keep web traffic for scantily clad pictures high... which works in my opinion... and tna hires gimmick chicks and sends them out to compete in matches loaded with stereotypes and lame angles... let alone sloppy matches and spotfests... both companies are pathetic in the womens division... the only sad part is that the WWE women are side dishes... tna chicks somehow end up the ratings winner on impact...

womens wrestling could be worth watching... but the way WWE and tna hire chicks it wont be anytime soon... and i dont see either company changing... we can debate odb all day... but the bottom line is that she doesnt matter in either company... and she has only got tv time recently due to the lame angle with deaner... she had months of nothing... and thats about what she is worth on tv...

If Dixie is not allowing them to be released, then she is lacking integrity. And, basically made herself look like an idiot.

Well STFU i agree with you on that last line you said..... I didn't like how ODB won the Knockouts Championship. IT TOOK A MAN! A MAN!!!! for her to win the belt because of that stupid angle with Cody Deaner who i don't know why he is still in TNA at all. I don't get it! He is TNA's version of Hornswoggle. But that's TNA for you, making stupid decisions as always but WWE doesn't fall behind as well. That's all i can say.

so its "my way for the highway... unless ur sum1 we want.... then u wont b alowed to leave!"
i bet if Shark Boy or Sunjay Dutt or Conequeces Creed or sumone like that asked for a release they would have have been granted in seconds....

i dont like ODB.... she wouldnt get anywhere on WWE cause she doesnt fit the mold.... her gimmic is crap... she looks like a trailer park whore and needs a good bath.... imagining what she would smell like makes me sick... and WTF is with her straight blond hair now??? talk about muttin dressed up as lamb.....

Womens wrestling has sucked for a good few years.... there was a golden age where we had Trish, Lita, Victoria, Molly and Ivory who could all put on a good match, since then Vince has always been looking for another Trish, constantly hiring fitness models. There have been a few high points in the past 5 years like Stalker Mickie, but its now over exposed with 2 titles in TNA and 2 in WWE, which has lead to girls like Fox (who has the smallest ass I've ever seen on a black chick)  in the title frame.....

Still after retiring from WWE Victoria/Tara is the shining light, just badly booked!
