2. Brian Knobbs of The Nasty Boys Gives An Update On Hulk Hogan, On How TNA Fired Them In 2010
Brian Knobbs recently made an appearance on Wrestlezone Radio and talked about Hulk Hogan’s racism controversy, TNA firing the Nasty Boys in 2010 and more. Below are the highlights:
On How Hulk Hogan Is Doing After The Racism Controversy:
“He is doing great. He is really doing great. You know what? He’s just sitting back and taking it all in. In today’s society everybody thinks they’re politically correct and it just isn’t that way. It was a mistake he made. He apologized for it. It happened. It was privately taped so it shouldn’t have even got out there. It wasn’t how he felt. It was just a situation that was going on with his family at the time.
They kind of ambushed him. He’s usually good at that. He’s usually up and knows what is going on. When a friend of yours stabs you in the back like that Bubba the Love Sponge did there’s nothing you can do about it. He’s still the greatest guy in the world. One of the greatest entertainers in our business. Our business would not be our business without Hulk Hogan.”
On TNA Firing Nasty Boys In 2010:
“The way they got rid of us I thought was really classless. They never called us. They actually put it on the internet that we were let go. They never called me and Saggs. To this day we’ve never gotten a call from Dixie Carter or any of their people in the office that they were letting us go. They just put it out on the internet. After all these years in the business I thought that was very classless for somebody to do that to us. Who put in their time. Who put their blood, sweat and tears. Laid it out there every time we were out there in the ring for the fans.
I can just name all of the injuries that I have but you know what? I still love pro wrestling to the bottom of my heart. I would never take it back. I am not complaining at all. They should have treated that situation 100% better. You see where they are at now. They are snooping around trying to find a place to put their wrestling product because right now it just ain’t up to par. I don’t watch it but they didn’t do us right, that’s for sure.”
