Latest On Awesome Kong: Release Granted, Pay Increase

Date Added: March 06, 2010
Story By: Patrick Boucher

TNA Knockout Awesome Kong has been telling friends within the wrestling industry that TNA has agreed to release her from her contract. This further confirms her recent Twitter post, in which she thanked Dixie Carter and TNA for wishing her the best in her future endeavors.

The word within TNA is that she asked for a 15% pay increase, which the company did not oblidge. Sources estimate that Kong was making between $400 and $700 per show.

TNA officials originally considered having Kong sit out her contract, but officials opted to grant her the release.

While Kong remains listed as one half of the TNA Knockouts Champion, there remains a possibility they may have her work one more show to drop the titles. However, those within the company do not believe that to be the case.
