TNA News: A current TNA Champion opening a restaurant, appearing on MTV Made this week, subject of a new documentary

TNA Knockouts Champion Tara (a/k/a Lisa Marie Varon) is opening a pizza restaurant in Chicago. "This is not a pet project for me,” Varon said. "This is my job. I will continue to travel a couple days a week for wrestling, but I will be in the restaurant several days a week."

Varon was also asked how much longer she intends to wrestle. "I get the 'how much longer' question in every interview nowadays," she said. "I get it. I'm 41 in an industry where girls breaking in are half my age.

"My perspective is, I feel great, I think I look great, I put on outstanding matches for the fans, I bring out the best in my opponents, and most importantly, I am having a blast."
