Terri Runnels/Test Attend EXC Event Together, Gail Kim Stripped, & More

? Dory Funk put out a press releasing saying that Gail Kim has been stripped of her Funking Conservatory Women's Championship. Gail Kim defeated "The Claw," Claudia Reiff to capture the title on Sunday, March 23, 2008. The press release reads: "Gail Kim was the last to hold the Funking Conservatory Women's Championship and now Gail Kim's commitments to future endeavors have resulted in her relinquishing her title and belt to the Funking Conservatory Board of Directors." Instead, reigning TNA Women's Knockout Champion Awesome Kong will be coming to the Funking Conservatory's !BANG! TV taping this Sunday to face "The Claw," Claudia Reiff. The press release also notes that if Reiff is able to gain a victory over Kong, "The Claw" could make a strong case for ranking #1 in next year's Pro Wrestling Illustrated 'PWI Female 50' rankings.
