-Eric Bischoff commented on having his head shaved at last night’s TNA Impact taping on his Facebook page. He wrote, Been a while since I’ve felt a breeze over the dome..kinda digging it!

-TNA President Dixie Carter posted the following on her Twitter :

I’m humbled by all your comments re:iMPACT last nite. I’m so proud of our talent, staff & the show we put on. It’s only going to get better.

-TNA Wrestling has parted ways with Traci Brooks as she was released by the company. Details regarding her departure have yet to be disclosed. PWinsider reports Brooks had been with the company since 2003.

Her most recent run saw her become a part of the since departed Main Event Mafia. She had been one of the company’s original female performers not to mention an original member of the Knockouts division.

-Brooks commented on her release from the organization on her MySpace account. She wrote:

Just wanted to take this time to say yes i was released yesterday afternoon from TNA. There is nothing to report or any stories on why…simply they had nothing for me.

thanks again to my fans for always supporting me and for all the great times i have had over the years. Looking forward to what life has in store for me..god bless..and please watch TNA monday nights as i will still be cheering on my family including my husband

CHECK OUT TRACI BROOKS IN PLAYBOY

Awesome Kong, who as of this writing is still officially one half of the TNA Knockout Tag Team champions with Hamada, has apparently departed TNA.

On her twitter page, Kong wrote, “I’d like to thank (Dixie Carter) and all of the employees at TNA for wishing me the very best in my future endeavors.”

Kong announced last week she was filing a lawsuit against Bubba the Love Sponge for allegedly prank calling her with racist comments, a charge has Bubba publicly denied. Kong assaulted Bubba backstage during an Impact taping in retaliation for comments he made about the Haiti relief efforts on his twitter page.

Kong and Gail Kim (now with WWE) pretty much put TNA’s Knockouts division on the map with an incredible series of matches in 2006 and 2007.

-Angelina Love has posted the following on her Myspace, CLEARLY stating she does NOT have an twitter account:

I’ve made this a status update before, but I guess people didn’t read it right or didn’t see it because I’m still getting messages & questions about this……..

If you are twatting with someone who says they are Angelina Love, Angel Williams or Lauren Williams (or any mix of those names) you are twatting with a poser! I have no plans to get a Twitter account either so I hope that clears it up.
