TNA posted on their website and on Facebook that they have elected to terminate the services of Todd Clem, p/k/a Bubba the Love Sponge. This comes shortly after Bubba managed to become part of an interview on The Cowhead Show during an interview with former TNA Knockout, Awesome Kong.
Audio of the interview has been making its way around the internet, but in all honesty I have no desire to listen to it whatsoever. For those who haven’t heard it, the audio can be found here, but for those who want the Cliff Notes version, Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun blog Ring Posts put a good synopsis up on his page.
Since coming to TNA in January, Bubba the Love Sponge has done pretty much nothing for the company except get under the skin of their fans and of their talent. It’s too bad that this couldn’t have happened sooner as the situation with Awesome Kong could have been avoided. As much as I would love to see her come back to TNA, that bridge may be broken.
At least Mick Foley was able to get in one good shot on Bubba, even if it was unintentional. Good bye and good riddance.
