Michelle McCool Gone From WWE

Michelle McCool is gone from WWE after losing a Loser Leaves WWE Match to Layla last night at Extreme Rules. Khamrma, the wrestler formerly known as Awesome Kong, made her WWE television debut immediately following McCool’s defeat and laid out the multi-time champion with an Implant Buster. In an indication as to why she’s leaving WWE, McCool revealed to WWE.com that she’s endured a slew of injuries the past two months:

“My foot has been injured for two months now, broken toe, torn joint capsules, torn MCL. I took a good beating by Layla and Kharma, too. I know I’ll be feeling it tonight, tomorrow and probably the next day,” McCool said. “But I’ll wear it with pride.”

McCool was introduced to the WWE audience in 2004 as a competitor in the inaugural Diva Search. Although the former school teacher lost the competition, WWE signed her to a contract in November of that year. She had been wrestling ever since.
“I’ve been doing this for six years now. Love me or hate me, I hope the WWE Universe can respect that night in and night out, I’ve given it my all,” McCool tearfully said. “This is definitely emotional, and I’m sure it’ll be like that for awhile.”

While McCool hopes to see her fans again, it won’t be in the ring.

“Thank you for the love and the hate. Thank you for being you and for watching. Hopefully I’ll see you around – not in the ring – but maybe someday.” She echoed similar comments on Twitter, writing, “Thx for the love guys….I know there will always be rumors, but that was it – real talk! @mslayel ….nothing but luv 4 u! Luv u all…nite!”

Rumor Mill - Kurt Angle's 'Mistress' Revealed

As seen on TNA iMPACT! in recent weeks, the company has added a new twist to the ongoing Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, and Karen Jarrett storyline following the TNA Lockdown pay-per-view.

According to a source, current plans call Isis The Amazon, or Aloisia, to be revealed as Angle’s “mistress” in the coming weeks. This is the same woman who tried out for WWE several months ago. WWE opted not to sign her after several photos surfaced online showing her nearly nude.

Isis The Amazon recently made an appearance in a dark match prior to an iMPACT! taping in Orlando, FL. TNA sources described her as 'sloppy' and 'green' but obviously liked her look.

Obama Uses “Real American” Theme Song

“Ladies and gentleman, the President of the United States.” Cue in Hulk Hogan’s “Real American” theme song and that’s how the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner started yesterday. Yes, really. With the American flag in the background on the video screen, the Obama birth certificate moved to the beat of Hogan’s WWE music as U.S. related footage flashed in the background, including Hulk Hogan ripping his t-shirt. Obama took the podium and started with, “My fellow Americans,” with an emphasis on fellow, to laughs from the crowd. Donald Trump, who is a good friend of Vince McMahon and WWE, was in attendance and was also the butt of many jokes.
