ANOTHER TNA DEPARTURE, KING MO UPDATE AND MORE TNA NEWS

Tony Nese wrote about departure from TNA at his Twitter account noting, "I have recently been approached with an opportunity to step in the ring with The Great Muta, a wrestling legend, and one of All Japan Pro Wrestling's top wrestlers Kai. This is an opportunity that I feel with help me further my goals and career. This event will be provided via IPPV and unfortunately my TNA contract did not allow me to perform on such events. I requested that an exception would be granted given my lack of appearances but was denied. My next action was to request a release as I think it will be in my best interest. I would like to thank TNA Wrestling for helping me achieve one of my goals as it is very few in this business that are able to say they have. I would also like to thank all the people that support me as this is just a small chapter coming to an end in my career and I have many more exciting opportunities in my future to come."

TNA Knockout Traci Brooks has also departed the company. I was told that this was a case of Brooks moving on to something else, not her being fired or quitting. She left in high esteem with the company and there is always a chance to her returning down the line but not anytime soon.

Bruce Prichard and Al Snow were at last night's Ohio Valley Wrestling TV Taping looking at talent. King Mo is expected to head there to train as a wrestler as soon as he's physically cleared.

Velvet Sky will star in a new music video that Montgomery Gentry filmed this past week in the Impact Zone.
