- At this past Sunday’s Final Resolution pay-per-view, Curry Man was one of the four participants in the “Feast or Fired” match (along with Jay Lethal, and both members of LAX, Homicide and Hernandez) to collect a briefcase. During last night’s edition of Impact, it was revealed that the briefcase contained a pink slip, meaning the termination of his contract with TNA. Curry Man was then escorted out of the building. They played a highlight reel in honor of Curry Man. At the conclusion of the video, they put up a message reading: “Curry Man, 2008-2008 We Barely Knew Thee.” TNA issued a statement wishing Curry Man well in his future endeavors, “which will likely include a return to his homeland of Japan.”

- Recently released WWE star Elijah Burke was seen making out with TNA Knockout SoCal Val at a wrestling convention over the weekend. Burke commented on his relationship with the TNA Knockout in a blog post:

The Truth of My Relationship w/So Cal Val

Well, since some of you have heard, asked or seen the pics in the tagged photos section (and who knows where else), I have only this to say,” I Love Val, she is my friend, and whatever happened between her and I, will stay between us.” ~ Pope has Spoken!..
