Say it's BS all you want but if in the height of wrestlings popularity if any wrestler from a competing promotion had been seen in the crowd there would have been hell to pay.
You do what you are asked to do to keep your job plain and simple.

Really I can't blame TNA. Basically the idea was that their show was so good, guys from the WWE were showing up to watch it. It's no different than when WWE will show football players or other celebrities in the crowd. Robbie is not TNA's employee, it's not their problem what happens to him. TNA could've very easily put cameras on the WWE guys who were backstage (hell, the ECW world champ was there) but yet chose to do this to a low-card WWE guy who was in the crowd with other fans. The crowd is part of the show. Backstage is a "private" area. Also, didn't ECW do something similar when Scott Hall showed up to one of their shows. Also WCW showed Sable in sitting in the front row during nitro once. TNA isn't the first company to pull something like this.

All three sides in this are jackasses. Robbie was a Jackass for going when he knew hed get in trouble. WWE are jackasses for being so up tight and prickish about their guys even talking to TNA guys. TNA are jackasses for being pricks and showing him on camera just cause hes from WWE. truth.

Who is at fault? The person who put his OWN job at risk...or the person who EXPOSED just how stupid said person is?

i say unprofessional because its almost as if theyre trying to act as if TNA doesnt exist and not communicate in any way, its hard to explain. You do have a point with the punishment whether i agree with it or not, i just think its stupid and upsetting but it isnt up to me Other than you know, in the past, TNA has shown they don't have the maturity level to handle a situation where they are remotely close to the WWE. With everything TNA has done in the past can you really blame the WWE for acting this way? This has to be the worst thing TNA has done concering WWE, by showing a WWE wrestler who tried to dress down and blend in, and keeping the camera on the guy for 10 seconds knowing full well that it would possibly get the guy fired by Vince. He knew he risked it, but you know nobody would have known had he never been shown on camera. That's a really HUGE dick move by TNA, and they've lost even more respectability as company.

Perhaps it was, but he shouldn't have risked it, especially if he was told to not be around TNA wrestlers this weekend.

No there not, they warned him in advance to stay away from TNA. People get fired all the time for disobeying there bosses orders. What makes him so smurfing special? Well if it were someone like Cena or something WWE wouldn't even care which is even more bullcrap. I think it's a dick move to ban talent from going and watching the sport they love. Reportedly, TNA isn't allowing their talent to go to the HOF which is more BS seeing as how some of them are good friends with him. Well how you figure that, oh wait your assuming it. Bottom line is WWE requested it from their employee. Its a dick move on the part of the employee for disobeying there employers. Its how the world works get over it.

Did Robbie go to the show before or after the WWE wrestlers were warned not to meet with TNA people?

Drrp. That's what I get for not paying attention. That being said, it was still a bitch move for TNA to be like "Oh, look!" BTW, dear, how does it feel to be called a man? Feels odd. I think I'll go spearhunt some meat.

I'm sure it's already been said, but I don't want to go through 8 pages, so bear with me.
I imagine this happening soon :
"I'M ROBBIE!" "YOU'RE FIRED!"

He must want to be fired.
For a jobber barely holding onto his job as it is to directly disobey Vince means he must want to be canned.
Or he's the dumbest person alive.
