TNA broadcast team member says it was unorganized and chaotic backstage, says he won't return unless he gets an apology from Dixie Carter
Jan 5, 2010 - 03:12 PM


The following is a recap of comments Bubba The Love Sponge made on his Tuesday morning radio show regarding Monday's TNA Impact show.

Bubba is really mad at TNA, a guy Mike Weber, and Universal for screwing over Bubba fans (The Bubba Army).

Bubba was asked to help out and make sure Hulk Hogan friendly fans were in the audience and gave him VIP passes to give out to his radio audience because they were concerned that Hogan might not get a huge reaction.

Bubba gave out 1,500 and the day of the show the Universal security told the crowd on line that the passes were fake. When Bubba found out, he went to Eric Bischoff and Dixie Carter (he left Hogan alone - see below) and they apologized for the screw-up and set up a Bubba Army viewing party at the Hard Rock where Bubba was booed every time he appeared on television. When Bubba showed up at the party, he was booed. He had stuff thrown at him and was even spit on.

He tried to explain it, but the crowd did not want to hear it and Bubba came back to the TNA studios and took his belongings and left without saying a word to Dixie and others.

Bubba also mentioned that AJ Styles went to The Hard Rock and told the crowd that Bubba was a jerk, etc. and fed into the crowd being angry. He said he is forwarding all the pissed off emails he received to Bischoff to show him how pissed his fans are at Bubba.

Bubba is contracted to be at TNA Impact today to do some taping for the next show. He said he won't be there and he kidded that his contract could be fake just like how the passes he was given by TNA were called fake too.

He described last night backstage as chaos and unorganized. He said TNA has a long way to go in that regard but felt the show was better than they were delivering.

Bubba spoke about the hatred he has for Vince Russo but did not go into detail on it on the air, but one can guess that a lot of the chaos might be because of him.

Bubba also said what was the original idea for him as the "backstage" guy was to bring a real/shoot aspect to the live show (he said things like asking Kurt Angle about being three lockers down from Jeff Jarrett, etc) but instead they had him "acting in angles" and that isn't what he was supposed to do.

He said Jeremy Borash was great to him and helped him a lot. However, he said unless Dixie personally makes it up to him and his fans, he won't be back.
