Breaking News: Hamada Released

TNA vacated the Knockouts Tag Team Championships at the Impact TV tapings earlier today in Orlando. A tournament will begin this Thursday on Spike TV to crown new champions. Hamada and Taylor Wilde were the previous champions.

We can now confirm that Hamada has been released by the company.

I thought she was released a while ago. I guess this would have been more shocking/sad for me, had she been around any in the last 6 months or so lol.

Wait... didn't they vacate those titles before to release someone?

WWE can make money off of this shit... They can sue for gimmick infringement. WWE's female division is based upon fake boobs and botox. In the last year or so, TNA has molded their division the exact same way.

TNA released Awesome Kong and stripped them of the titles, leading to TBP winning. Oh look, its happening again.

Hamada out, exWWE reject in

Where has this been confirmed? She is still listed on the website....I have heard rumors that she may be injured or released. I know the spoilers are for a tag tourney tho.

and Team 3D are broken up and "retired" but theyre still listed on the roster page as being a team, so that means nothing

TNA is always late updating the roster page. lol

Oh can't say i'm shocked tbh

This hurts.

I have a feeling it was mutual, she has been in Japan since October. I'm going to miss her though, Glad I got to meet her in January.

Hamada, who was released last week by TNA Wrestling, returned to Japan in October when the organization stopped using her. It is said that her former tag team partner, Taylor Wilde, has also parted ways with the organization. I will have an update on this shortly but part of the reason Hamada was released was due to the fact that it costs them $1000's to fly her in from Japan for TV tapings. More soon.

if they were using her she wouldnt have went home to Japan...dumbasses.

bye bye Taylor Wilde.

Well that is one and maybe two big blows to tna.

And I thought they were getting back on track.

Sure they are still pretty good atm but if Tara is out they only really have Sarita and Madison as legit heels and Mickie, TBP, and I guess Winter as faces since they don't push others.

Regarding Hamada's recent departure from TNA Wrestling, she was not fired as it was her decision to part ways with the organization. She headed back to Japan in October and wasn't interested in returning.
