Controlling? Thoughts?”

“Can people stop talking about me supposed leaving or my personal life here?its really annoying guys. I’m not going anywhere last time I’m saying it. It makes me want to avoid twitter.

Jim Ross is back with another blog on jrsbarbq.com. Here are just a few of the highlights:

- Gail Kim really impressed me on Monday’s Raw (Love the DVR) and has the potential to be “Stratus-like” if the stars can become properly aligned. Kim’s unique look and her athleticism are obviously marketable. WWE Divas having more in ring exposure is a bona fide way to get the audience to emotionally invest in these ladies as more than just simply “Smart, Sexy, and Powerful.” (Oh, my!)

- Layla, Eric Clapton’s favorite WWE Diva, (fellow Brit you know) shows marked improvement in the ring this week in a bout versus Melina who never disappoints with at least one Sharapova-like primal scream. One loud outburst just may have frightened my broadcast partner but I can’t be sure as he was wearing a dark suit.

- If you are wondering who the hottest WWE Superstar presently is in WWE, it’s Jeff Hardy. As my late, domino playing friend, Ernie Ladd would say, case closed.

WWE’s website has the full details on the 15 Superstar trade that was approved by Donald Trump. Here are the full roster changes:

New Members of RAW: Evan Bourne, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, Gail Kim, Alicia Fox

New Members of Smackdown: Matt Hardy, Finlay, Tyson Kidd, Natalya, David Hart Smith

New Members of ECW: Shelton Benjamin, Goldust, William Regal, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella

The decision to implement the fifteen-Superstar WWE roster trade was reportedly made sometime in the past week. One of the trade’s biggest implications concerned the ECW Championship. The original plan called for Jack Swagger to win the title at The Bash in the Championship Scramble. Instead, WWE opted to move Swagger to RAW, where he will feud with fresh babyfaces.

From: PWTorch

PWTorch is reporting that the primary reason Gail Kim has left TNA for WWE is the significant discrepancy between what TNA offered her and what WWE offered her. It sounds like it’s hardly news, as she obviously went with the “better offer.” What has become clear this week from multiple sources is that Kim did not want to leave TNA, but she felt she had no choice based on the massive difference between the two offers.

TNA’s offer, well under 100,000 per year in the form of a soft guarantee (based on a target number of matches, but paid per match) was less than one-third of the offer WWE presented, a six-figure downside with three years offered. There is potential to earn significantly more than the downside. TNA’s offer was less than three years (one source believes just one year). Kim still had to be talked into leaving by friends as she had a strong sense of loyalty and contentment with her situation in TNA. She loved the company and her friends there, but she couldn’t justify not taking the much better offer.

One friends says she really had no choice, she had to opt for the financial security the WWE offer provided. Another source in TNA, disappointed in her decision, said she chose to be unhappy for more money rather than remain happy and loyal and stick with the smaller company that made her a star.

There was a real void backstage at TNA this week as Kim’s friends couldn’t believe she was gone, especially since she left without saying goodbye. Her departure was rather sudden and unexpected, but when she was given a supposedly final offer by TNA that was deemed to be “insulting” and “possibly sexist” by one friend with knowledge of the lowball offer, she couldn’t risk getting hurt or being jobbed out once her decision was made.

Gail Kim is jumping ship and heading back to World Wrestling Entertainment. Kim was offered a very sizeable offer and has taken them up on the deal.

Kim's contract is up about to run up and she will be free to start working for WWE once it expires. The decision for her to leave TNA for WWE was completely financial as she had been happy in TNA. The deal she was offered was a big one and hard to pass up.

Kim left TNA on extremely good terms and the door is always open for a return.

Gail will appear on iMPACT! tonight in a street fight with Awesome Kong.
