TNA Knockout News and Amy Dumas (Lita)

Besides all the Victory Road news, a rumor coming out of TNA is that Traci Brooks (Is she still the Knockout Law?) and Christy Hemme will both be returning for this weeks taping.
And also rumored to appear is Japanese star, Ayako Hamada.

Traci and Christy coming back, Sarita and Ayako debuting right behind each other....
Is TNA set to knockout (sorry) the other wrestling promotion's women's division?

And there is another rumor surfacing that former TNA Knockout Karen Angle is living with.....Jeff Jarret?
Talk about an uncomfortable working situation with Jarret being so high up in TNA and Kurt Angle working for them.
Of course this is ONLY a rumor.

Change The Record.net has an interview up with Lita (Okay, enough time has passed...it's Amy Dumas now).
The cool thing to me is that Amy talks about why she wasn't at Wrestlemania.

Faye: Were you invited to take part in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania 25, this year? If so, why did you turn it down?
Amy: Did you see that match?!
Faye: Yeah, it was so bad!
Amy: Right, that’s why I turned it down.

You can read the interview and understand why I like the way Amy thinks here:

Former WWE Diva Amy Dumas (Lita)

Former WWE Diva Amy Dumas (Lita)

The Luchagors is a punk rock band based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is fronted by Amy Dumas, better known as Lita to pro wrestling fans of the WWE. During her last wrestling match at Survivor Series 2006, Dumas was seen wearing a Luchagors t-shirt.

After retiring from professional wrestling, Dumas moved back to Atlanta, Georgia and became romantically involved with her high-school crush Shane Morton. They began to write songs together and formed the band in the summer of 2006.

The name Luchagors is a homage to the term Luchador, a Lucha libre performer. Dumas performed this style early in her professional wrestling career. It is combined with the word gore, as in horror films, of which Amy and Shane are fans.

The band started out playing small gigs in and around the Atlanta area. Shortly afterwards, four tracks made their way around the Internet. Three can be found on the band's MySpace ("White Boy", "All There Is" and "Already Gone"), while live performances of "Burn" and a cover of "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones have shown up on YouTube.

The band's world premiere show was at the Rock-n-Shock event, which was held at the Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia on September 14, 2006. The event took place to honor Sean Shocker.

In early 2007, they began recording their debut album, which is being produced by Skid Row bassist, Rachel Bolan. They finished recording the tracks for their album, on March 17, 2007. However, in August 2007, an original member of the group, Troy the drummer, left the band.

Their self-titled debut album was released physically and as a download through online outlets on September 11.

Amy is a known animal lover. In 2003, she founded the animal charity Amy Dumas Operation Rescue and Education (A.D.O.R.E.).

Future looks good for Amy Dumas

Future looks good for Amy Dumas
By Mike Mooneyham
Sunday, July 8, 2007

She's been a four-time world wrestling champion, written her own book, and has enjoyed success and popularity throughout the world.

But Amy Dumas feels her best days are in front of her.

The 32-year-old Dumas, better known to pro wrestling fans as Lita, is now juggling new careers, making rare independent wrestling appearances and serving as singer and songwriter for the Atlanta-based punk rock band The Luchagors.

Local fans will be able to see the red-headed beauty in both capacities when she opens a United Wrestling Federation show July 19 at Rick Hendrick Jeep Chrysler in North Charleston. She and her band will host an after-party later that evening at The Plex.

WWE - Amy Dumas

Q and A with Amy Dumas

By Kevin Eck
Sun Reporter
Originally published February 22, 2007

Anyone who has ever watched Amy Dumas, formerly known as Lita, perform her acrobatic, high-flying moves in WWE knows that she isn't afraid to take risks. Dumas perhaps took her biggest chance yet last November when she left WWE after nearly seven years to pursue a career in the music business. The former women's wrestling champ is the lead singer of the Luchagors, an Atlanta-based punk rock band. Dumas, 31, hasn't walked away from the ring completely, however, and she will make an appearance at Sunday's Maryland Championship Wrestling show in Dundalk.

What went into your decision to leave a highly successful career with WWE?

It felt like it was time to at least see what else was out there. It's a job that you have to give 110 percent to be successful at, and I just felt like I didn't have 110 percent to give anymore. I feel like if I would have stayed longer with WWE I would have started to resent my time there, because you're so inundated with the schedule and everything.

How did you feel about your breakup with fellow wrestler Matt Hardy and your involvement with Edge [Adam Copeland] becoming public knowledge and then being played out in a WWE story line?
