http://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/WWE/article10015953.shtml Awesome signing pun intended. Kong Vs Beth and Kong Vs Natalya should be awesome. I'm not looking forward to when she jobs to McCool but still this is a great move. You know maybe The WWE will use Gail Kim and toss her in the ring with Kong. I could see Lita or Trish coming in for a match with Kong too.

Strike 1 is that she won't be Kong. TNA ownes Awesome Kong and the E always has to reinvent their acquisitions.
So expect Black Bertha to debut soon.
She has gone by Amazing Kong on the indies for years now.
Good for her. Sad to see her leave the indies as it means she won't be at the next SHIMMER tapings, but she's wanted to get to WWE for a while now, so I hope she does great there.

Is a name like Black Bertha worse than "Awesome/Amazing Kong"? She's a huge black woman. The name invokes King Kong, a huge gorilla. Hmm... A new name and identity would be doing her a favor.
Kong is our next breakout Diva. She makes the rain fall.
Wow. I never thought I'd see her get picked up in the WWE, but I'm really glad to read this. The Knockout division started crumbling once she left TNA and it's nowhere near as entertaining now without her killing tiny women in squash matches. I've been badly missing her crazed facial expressions during promos.
I truly hope they use her well. Kong, Natalya, and Beth can create the exciting (and less botch-heavy) Diva's division dominated by Trish, Lita, Victoria, and Jazz from several years ago.
Originally posted by thecubsfanI sure hope it works out great for her, but I keep thinking about how Kaval just left because they had no idea what to do with him.
Even then, she'd be off the indies for a while and maybe learn something new.
It's quite simple how to use her: She kills bitches dead. Simple enough, but we shall see. Beth vs Kong was a legit dream match a few years ago.
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Didn't she start out in Japan? I was thinking that the name originally was some sort of play off of Aja Kong, Amazing Kong being a similar sort of 'monster' compared to your average joshi performer.
I'd get more interested if I believed for a second that WWE was going to stick with skilled wrestlers over "Divas" for more than a few months. Soon as Vince notices workrate in a women's match, you know he'll demand changes.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Kong. A collision with Beth, if played right, would be dynamite right out of the gate.
I'm already having flashbacks to January 1996 when Vader arrived in the WWF and went right after Yokozuna. Vader power bombed then WWF President Gorilla Monsoon the next night on RAW and was the biggest heel in the world. Then all that momentum quickly petered out and a year and a half later, Vader was on PPV calling himself a big fat piece of shit. History of that fashion need not repeat itself.
