From a few google searches, it does appear to be the real Iron Sheik's twitter account. Someone really needs to put together a page with the twitter accounts of all legit wrestlers and personalities. |

That's the real Sheik? He needs to get Peter Chimaera as a writing mentor.

I think this is hilarious as I've never been a fan of Chubba the Suck Sponge. The only time my Sirius is off Howard 100 and on Howard 101 is for Riley Martin. I don't know if this has been mentioned but seriously like the DAY BEFORE Chubba got fired, Hulkster was on Howard and put Chubba over HUGE. |

Figures it'd take Chubba's firing to finally get me to make a post here.
Hi to all!
Anyways, did anyone else catch Kevin Eck's article/blog for the Baltimore Sun on the whole Chubba/Kong situation? One of "Chubba's Army" posted it over at his Twitter account I think it was and they were out in full force on the comments section for it flaming away. It was amazing how similiar every post was. It was pretty much "OMG, I"m going to watch WWE now that Bubbaz gone!!!", "wrestling is fake you loosers" and "TNA's going to lose the viewership of Bubbaz Army!!! Bubba = ratingz!!!"
Seriously, I hope none of them ever reproduce if they believe everything they're spewing. I was also shocked (but extremely happy) that none of them have snuck hear yet due to the amount of anti-Chubba posts.
Can't wait to not see him on my TV tonight.

I don't know what Steiner studied at U of M, maybe it was journalism. There could be life after wrestling.

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE RESPONDS TO TNA TERMINATION, RAILS AGAINST TNA AND DIXIE CARTER, BEING PORTRAYED AS 'RACIST'
by Richard Trionfo @ 11:27 AM on 5/3/2010
Bubba the Love Sponge discussed his recent termination from Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on his radio show on Monday morning.
The show's discussion started with an audio clip of local news coverage of the firing which detailed the incident in January as well as the phone confrontation between Bubba and Awesome Kong on the Cowhead Show (which airs on the same station in Tampa that carries Bubba’s show) that took place last week.
Bubba noted how the incident with Awesome Kong started over his comments about the relief programs for Haiti after an Earthquake caused significant damage in January. He discussed the way that the relief has been distributed to the people and how a lot has not been given to the people and he said that he "looks right" about Haiti.
In regard to his firing from TNA, Bubba said that it was because he was "racially insensitive" for calling Awesome Kong a "dumb black bi**h." Bubba asked how that was ‘racial’ when TNA has a character called "The Black Pope" [Note: While D'Angelo Dinero has used that term online, TNA has never referred to him under that nickname], has a character who is “openly gay throwing milk on himself as if it is sperm” (Orlando Jordan), has booked Chelsea ‘dry humping Black Pope’, has a wrestler called "Black Machismo", and has a wrestler named Awesome Kong. [although Kong is no longer with the company.]
Bubba said that Dixie sent him an e-mail regarding the firing and there was discussion of having zero tolerance for racial insensitivity. He said that Dixie has advertisers, investors, and a board to answer to.
Bubba commented, “nobody watches TNA” while wondering why he got fired for what he did on the radio. He noted it was not on TNA programming and suggested that Awesome Kong and her fans organized Bubba’s firing from TNA.
During the segment, Bubba called Dixie a “mark” and wondered if Dixie listened to the Cowhead Show segment because Dixie "makes most of her decisions from marks". He talked about how she uses the internet to make decisions and then wondered if Vince McMahon listened to the internet to make decisions. Bubba then said that “TNA is run like marks” and suggested that Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Terry Taylor, or Ed Ferrara should run the wrestling product.
Bubba said that they should “fire me because I suck or the product sucks”, but not because people Tweet Dixie Carter. He wondered how Kong could say "kiss my black a**" on the radio, but Bubba is considered the ‘racially insensitive’ one. He said that “Dixie hires and fires based on the internet.”
Bubba also wondered why Dixie still followed Kong’s Twitter account after she was no longer with the company while Dixie never followed his Twitter account. Bubba called Dixie a “mark b***h”.
Bubba said that he doesn’t care if he is part of TNA because it is “below him.” Bubba said that he was flipping off TNA with both hands while saying “thanks for the money.” Bubba again said that the “product sucks.”
One of the people on Bubba’s show wondered how they could complain about Bubba being ‘racially insensitive’ when they have a wrestler called Awesome Kong when ‘Kong’ is usually associated with King Kong. [They did not mention on the show that Kong was known as ‘Amazing Kong’ before she signed with TNA, so the name existed long before TNA hired her]. Bubba mentioned that he did not want to be considered a racist when he talked to her on the Cowhead Show by calling her by her real name.
Bubba discussed where he stands with Hulk Hogan and he said that he did not know. He said that Hogan told him to “take the high road”. The situation may effect their friendship because Hogan will probably have to distance himself from Bubba. One of the people on his show asked Bubba “what did Terry do for him?” Bubba said that he did not sue over the Kong beating incident in January because of his friendship with Hogan. Bubba did say that his attorney had discussed the situation with him and they are now looking into the possibility of seeking damages against TNA at this time.
Bubba asked if he deserved to be hit three times for his comments about Haiti in January. He said that the people in TNA “shuffled it off like nothing happened.” Bubba said that he would play the clip of the Hogan phone call the day after the incident when Hogan was laughing about it. Bubba read an e-mail that suggested that he should have challenged Kong immediately, but Bubba wondered how he would have looked if he did confront her physically at that point.
Bubba said that he has not mobilized his Bubba Army to deal with the firing, but said that a “modern day war” is going on. Bubba then read a number of e-mails that attacked him and were glad that he got fired from TNA. One of the cast members on Bubba’s show, Brent, called people who follow wrestling “morons.” They also wondered why so many people cared about Bubba being fired by TNA.
Bubba called Dixie a “mark a**” before commenting on a column written by Kevin Eck of The Baltimore Sun that discussed the Kong/Bubba telephone call on the Cowhead Show. Bubba wondered why Kong was now being portrayed as the victim in this entire situation. Bubba said that if he read the article and did not hear the radio interview, he would probably have fired himself as well. Bubba commented that Eck wrote “During the verbal exchange, BTLS called her a word that cannot appear on a family Web site seven times and also made remarks that had racial overtones” in his column. Bubba and his staff mentioned that they would have assumed that Bubba called Kong “the ‘n’ word” those seven times based on that working.
Bubba also commented on Eck’s bias against him and in favor of Dixie Carter because he started off his column saying “Before I get into this, let me first say that I would like nothing better than to never have to type the words “Bubba The Love Sponge” ever again. One, because I hate giving him or any shock jock publicity when they say outrageous and venomous things because that is exactly what they want; and two, because he is a crony who only has a job in pro wrestling because of who he has latched himself onto” and then wrote “I like TNA president Dixie Carter, and the consensus among everyone I know who knows her is that she is a classy person with a good heart” about Dixie.
Bubba said that he believed that Eck's column was the reason why he was fired from TNA. Bubba then played the confrontation on the Cowhead Show between him and Awesome Kong.
After playing the audio, Bubba said that he is “not going to miss the bull crap at TNA” but said that he met some great people in TNA. Bubba pointed out Sting, Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Jeremy Borash, Kurt Angle, Eric Bischoff, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash among those he liked in TNA. It was actually a group of about thirty people. Bubba commented they “should get as much money as they can” from TNA.
Bubba took a number of calls from listeners and most of them were supportive of Bubba’s position. They said that they only watched TNA because of Bubba. One of the callers said to watch the ratings drop now that Bubba is gone.
Bubba said that Dixie’s decision to fire him was “knee-jerk” and that TNA will “feel the wrath of Bubba.” Bubba said that he is “not going to go out as the racist b***h they are portraying him as.” They ended the discussion by going back to Dixie’s mention of how she had to answer to advertisers and commented, “nobody is going to advertise because it is a horrible product.

So, lemme see. Dixie's a mark, everyone's stupid, Bubba has an "army" that is "waging a war", and the people that are writing the show should be running the show because, apparently, their not since Bubba got fired. Furthermore, he wasn't going to sue because she got fired and he kept his job, but now that he's fired, he's thinking about suing.
It's good to see that his self-image hasn't taken a hit, that's for damn sure.

OK, after some thought, this could either be just what it is, or the most hilariously awful "work" I've ever seen.
Hogan went on air and talked about what a great heel Bubba could be, so what if this is another "worked shoot" bit courtesy Russo?
You've got a heel that goes on nationally syndicated radio and calls the owner a "mark", says advertisers hate the company, no one watches, and it's all stupid. Not only that, he's gonna SUE!
Then, we get the counter in his old buddy Hulkster coming to TNA's defense, setting up the match to defend TNA's honor, wherein Kong makes the run in and sides with Bubba, and it's the new ultimate swerve, which of course leads to Hogan finally vanquishing Bubba and Kong, only to make them see the error of their ways, thus giving us the Bubba/Kong romance angle that we're all just begging for.
I'll stop now, as I think I'm doing permanent damage to my brain.
