Backstage News: Awesome Kong's TNA Status?, & More
Partial Source: Prowrestling.net
We're told the issues between Awesome Kong and Bubba the Love Sponge seem to be resolved after a meeting took place with her, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff.
Kong had initially asked for her release and refused to work the company's UK tour despite being advertised. While they may have not granted her a release, we're told there are still some financial issues between Kong and the company.
According to reports, Kong was said to be touchy when she noticed how much the company was spending on newcomers and how they couldn't afford to give talent already on the roster raises, especially the TNA Knockouts.
As noted earlier, Kong recently put together a group called "Wrestlers 4 Haiti" in order to secure funds for Haiti relief. The group raised $6,000 at a club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on Jan. 15. She spent two days promoting the event on local radio and with the help of twenty-four wrestlers, managed to raise $3,500. Mick Foley then donated another $2,500 as he made an agreement with Kong to match whatever funds were raised, up to that amount.
