Lisa Varon, on her myspace account, confirmed she would be leaving TNA in a few weeks as per a note in today's Wrestling Observer which talked about the strong possibility of that happening.
Her contract expires in May.
"I came to TNA last year because I still had a lot of wrestling left in me," she wrote on her myspace account today. "I was paid a fraction of what I thought I deserved. But I wanted to show I was still at the top of my game. Now my contract is up in May. I want a modest pay increase. They don't want to pay me what I think is fair. I have no problems going my own way."
"But about 12 hours after the conversation where we didn't agree on pay, unnamed sources claim that I am hard to work with and that I don't give my best effort. My only response is that TNA made an aggressive effort to re-sign me, among other things saying that they want to build the women's division around me. And I think wrestling fans see, both on TV and at live events, that I alwys give 100%. I take pride in that. Smeaering me on the way out the door is an act of second-rate character."
