What happened after the match?

Yep, the bigger his muscles have become (ie, the more roids he has pumped in) the less talented he has become in the ring.

Impact is not bad this week but we all groaned at what the main event was!! We fast forwarded until the interesting bit at the end of teh match.
Some very good matches announced for the next TNA PPV on this weeks impact.

ProWrestling.net and PWInsider.com are both reporting that Gail Kim will return to WWE now that she has left TNA.

From wrestlezone.com -

"Sources inside TNA have said this came as a pretty big surprise and although most people knew they were renegotiating her contract, they assumed she would definitely resign with the company. As of the last television tapings last week, there were no farewell parties and she wasn't saying "Goodbye" to anyone in the back. One source said that Gail "wanted guarantees TNA was not willing to give".

On the WWE front, they have apparently changed the trademark on Kim from inactive to active. PWInsider.com is reporting that they offered her a sizable increase in pay to come back. She is free to begin working there as soon as her contract is officially up and you can bet that if she does in fact return, she'll be pushed pretty heavily in the women's division.

Other sources have said that Kim left TNA on very good terms and the door is "always open" for a return in the future. This was more due to financial reasons than Gail being unhappy with the company and the way she's been used or presented on TNA television. Kim's last TNA match is scheduled for tonight's Impact! in a street fight with Awesome Kong".

Well seeing she wanted a women's division and they got one for her .then she leaves .I think TNA has moved past Gail with so many new Shimmer women in TNA .
Perhaps cheerleader Melissa etc will get onto our screens !!

These days she might be too good a wrestler to be in the WWE.

TNA News: Latest on Gail Kim, as her future remains up in the air (w/Keller Analysis)
Sep 3, 2008 - 5:58:41 PM

By Wade Keller, PWTorch editor

PWTorch has learned that Gail Kim has personally reached out to Dixie Carter to see if a deal can be struck for her to return to TNA after all. As PWTorch has reported in multiple instances over the past week, friends have said she felt terrible about leaving TNA, but felt she had to because WWE's offer was at least triple what TNA's supposed final offer was.

Kim did reportedly meet with WWE officials, but has been hestitant to sign a deal with WWE due to her happiness with working for TNA - other than the lowball offer she was given.

From what we understand, neither Kim nor Dixie Carter were happy with the way TNA reps and Kim's reps (lawyers and/or agent) handled the negotiations, and both have decided to at least see if a return could be worked out.

Carter has asked some tough questions to people within TNA lately whom she trusted to handle this part of the business well; there are indications she felt out of the loop and wanted to try to make the situation right.

Keller's Analysis: It's good that TNA may be able to make this situation right. Kim badly wanted to stay with TNA and, as we reported, had to be talked into the only dignified move - walking away from TNA's insultingly lowball offer considering the hard numbers of what she's drawn in her matches on Impact (usually the ighest rated of each show she's on) and her popularity behind the scenes and the respect her colleagues have for her. I've also heard there was a backlash among several TNA wrestlers - women and men - that TNA didn't pay her due respect with a fair-minded renewal offer.

Watched Impact for the 1st time in quite a while at a mate's house, accidentally missed the 1st 20 minutes or so. After a tiresome hour and a half we purposely missed the last 10 or so minutes and watched Liverpool vs Manchester. I'm guessing most episodes are better than what this one was.
