Haven't seen it confirmed yet, but Shimmer's Nicole Matthews stated on Twitter that TNA had released Ayako Hamada. I know they didn't really use her, but I think there were better cuts that could have been made, if it is indeed true.

Oh well. I liked her but no big loss. She wasn't much before Hogan and Bischoff got there and she wasn't much after. She is insanely talented and will do well wherever she goes but I won't miss her on the show

Yes, let's get rid of arguably your most talented female. I guess she can always go back to Japan full time. I would love to see her in WWE, like, the one and a million chance, but Hamada is incredibly talented.
Another thing. Apparently, Hamada was one of the higher paid female talents (which wasn't that much anyway), because I feel that someone like her, someone who has her options, is going to ask for more. So she can do what she wants.

They didn't even bother to try. I have to agree with you. Had it been WWE they'd have gone completely full boar with the comic book manga character that he TNA entrance vid showed. She is a talented worker but TNA just never pulled the trigger. When she came on though they had a robust female roster. TBP, Sarita, Taylor, Kong, Riaeesha Sayeed, Alyssa Flash(I know dude but there was a few weeks that they both worked or more acturately Mellissa worked both) and ODB. They only gave them one or two segments in the show and they just couldn't fit Hamada in. Again no loss for me and I am sure she will land on her feet

To think TNA had both her and Cheerleader Melissa and they wasted them both.

Awesome Kong Alissa Flash Roxie Hamada
I think that's every single talented female wrestler in TNA gone. Time to close shop on that division.

Awesome Kong Alissa Flash Roxie Hamada I think that's every single talented female wrestler in TNA gone. Time to close shop on that division. It's sad, the shape of pro wrestling today. WWE only wants model types. TNA is starting to go in that direction. And ROH is too small at the moment to have a women's division like TNA USED to have. It's sad. I used to claim that TNA had the best women's division in wrestling, probably in the past 20-30 years. They had the perfect blend of sex appeal and wrestling. I like talking about that happy medium in wrestling, and how the major company goes in one direction, and some minor companies go in the other (by the way, I consider TNA an indy). But, it was the best. I'll say it again. Yet ANOTHER casualty of the Hogan era.

It's one of the things I lose patience with the new regime at TNA over. I am always someone who says wait and see but this one gets frustrating because they were an integral part of what made TNA TNA. I don't think they carry the show despite they're quarter hours. I say so because if they expanded the role and time spent on them on Impact it would get old. Just as anything that gets over exposed gets old. They experimented with they're own hour of entertainment and it bombed like an B52. I think it should be bigger than it is now but I am not one who thinks that they're one qrt hr drawmeans they are the whole show

Sigh...... f***.
I'm gonna be inconsolable for a couple days weeks months whatever. Even with everyone else running around, Hamada was arguably my favorite Knockout (along with Daffney). Shame they didn't use her more.

So now it's down to Katie, Daffney & Sarita as the only Knockouts that I care to see in the ring.
