TNA executive producer Eric Bischoff commented on the departure of Tara (a/k/a Lisa Marie Varon) and DOC (a/k/a Drew Hankinson). "Best of luck and much respect for Marie Varon," Bischoff wrote. "Marie is a positive, talented, powerful performer that I will miss. Kick ass girl!

"Nothing but respect for Drew Hankinson. Hoping to get to work with him some day in the future. Great 'Big Man' with a great work ethic." Following Bischoff online at Twitter.com/EBischoff
