Awesome Kong requests release from TNA Wrestling

After her backstage fight with Bubba the Love Sponge at last week's iMPACT! tapings, Awesome Kong has given her notice to the company that she is leaving. This news was confirmed by Kong on a live video stream at Qik.com. The altercation was over derogatory comments Bubba had made concerning the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Apparently Kong came running at Bubba screaming "This is for Haiti!!!" and landed 3 solid blows to the jaw before the two could be separated. Kong has been taking part in fundraising efforts to raise money for the victims. The TNA locker room was said to be almost 100% behind Kong, with most feeling that Bubba deserved what he got. But Tuesday morning, Hulk Hogan was laughing about the incident on-air with Bubba and making fun of Kong which most likely led to Kong's quitting the company. This is a major loss to TNA at this point in the Monday Night Wars. Kong is the #1 top female in all of wrestling and simply in a class of her own. WWE would be smart to grab her immediately.
