Thanks to Vince Russo for making sure the talent are happy.
Well Stevie Richards leaving is not surprising, but it's too bad. He has other options outside of wrestling (like the T4 Show), but he probably has plenty left in the gas tank. No idea what he'll do next. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more people quit that aren't used (like Daffney and Wolfe).

Why defend the guy so much? TNA didn't book Stevie so he left. I doubt he really wanted to go, just didn't want to waste time.
- The Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirms that Alison Skipper (a/k/a Chelsea) was released by TNA Wrestling. Her profile was removed from the company website last week.
Miss Tessmacher (Brooke Adams) and Daffney were removed from the TNA Roster page. They hadn't been used in quite some time, so chances are they have been released from whatever obligations they were signed to but could still be used down the line. Tessmacher had been out with a jaw injury while Daffney hadn't been used in a regular basis since suffering a bad concussion awhile back.
In addition to Daffney, Miss Tessmacher and Kiyoshi were also removed from the TNA Wrestling.com website roster pages Monday. This would indicate that they have parted ways with the organization.
Kiyoshi has been sparingly used in recent months, having only competed in a single match as the mysterious character since being dismissed as the man under the Suicide costume in October. He joined the organization during the later half of 2008 and would notably form alliances with the tag team No Limit (Yujiro and Naito) as well as the World Elite faction.
Tessmacher was never listed on the company website’s roster page. However, she was featured on its Knockouts photo section, which were removed Monday. She debuted last March as Eric Bischoff’s assistant and would transition to a wrestler role by the end of the year. Her burgeoning wrestling career, however, came to an abrupt halt as she claimed to have suffered a broken jaw on Christmas Day. She has not appeared for TNA since the incident.
- It was speculated that Miss Tessmacher has parted ways with TNA Wrestling considering her pictures were removed from their website on Monday. However, they were added back today, as well as a profile to the roster page.
Daffney and Kiyoshi, however, were not added back to the site.
