Bubba the love sponge - Spike TV guy call in - plans to cut TNA impact from Spike?

[funkiersnoog]

This call is completely fake and set up by Bubba. Spike TV wouldn't be mad about Bubba getting fired. Cross- promoting on Bubba's show would be completely ineffective because he doesn't have that big of an audience. Simple as that.

Bubba is just a failed radio guy that gets fired from every place he works. That's why he now has to have his show on the internet.

[MrDivalover1]

@funkiersnoog I know tna gets a 1.0-1.2 over 1 million viewers it is decent rating. i wish hogan flair who should have hang up there boots 10 years ago join bubba.

[aprilmorrison000]

lmao this is hilarious.

[WCWnWo4life]

My guess is that the real identity of the "Spike TV guy" is really "Terrance" from the "Terrance & Philip" comedy troupe.

[charliemant]

Fuck this germ bubba. Has no reason to ever come close to wrestling or even speak about wrestling. This Virus bubba needs to be quarantined.

[WWESUPERFAN1592]

Who the hell even cares about this but dixie carter is a mark and screw her

[YoByAxEs]

I was kinda hoping that Bubba would jump for joy after hearing this fake caller say that TNA might be canceled. I kinda wish that he would say something that would make me hate him even more.

[takerisawesome]

buba thats not true vince would be them for 25 cents not a dollar.

[Dundren]

Bubba your an idiot go f'n die...yea internet blogs and extra from the fans and all that. He is an idiot!

[DanTheManHatesYoutub]

He pushed all the problems with TNA. Are we sure he still doesnt work for them? Bischoff, Hogan,RUSSO, D-VON AND BUBBA DUDLEY? Really? If those are the good people at TNA then he proves he knows nothing

[ToxicHospitality]

lol nice protection. Brent cant hide the way he talks, that's the bottom line.

[funkyflashman]

You know damn well Bubba the Assclown set this bit up.

[njdevilsfan]

It's rediculous how a son of a beyotch like this gets in this buisness.... Yet someone who loves this buisness they won't make time for.

[caemawred]

Spike TV Release this statement in reply to this BTLS Show;

"I can assure you the caller was a fake and TNA Impact is not only among the highest rated shows with young men on Spike, but on Thursday nights as well,"

"This past Thursday, Among Basic Cable Networks between 9p-11p, TNA ranked #3 in M18-49 behind ESPN (NBA Conf Semis CAVALIERS/CELTICS) and TBS (Disturbia, Family Guy). And our relationship with Dixie (Carter) and TNA has never been stronger."

[dawgsfaninin]

Blubba is such a fat peice of shit. I can not believe how big this guys ego is. Nobody and I mean nobody even knows who this guy is outside of Tampa. This fat ass talks like he is one of the boys and says things like mark and shoot and only knows these words because of Hogan.Sirius and Howard should drop this fat ass bitch.

[boutitbenza699]

looks like TNA and Spike might be ready to sue BTLS for slander and lies

[cagedsexybeast]

This is absolute rubbish. If these people at Spike TV really have no issues with Bubba's behaviour, they're either retarded or don't know the full story. The fact that this fat arrogant untalented diarrhea-mouthed piece of shit doesn't see anything wrong with the way he conducted himself sickens me to my stomach. I'm glad he's out of a business he had no respect for, or any right to be part of. Fuck you, Bubba.

[damingraham]

lol bubba is a spoiled lil girl. still crying . shoulda never been hired cause of his best bud hogan. people like rainman so caught up on MMA like atleast half of it isnt staged either. brain dead people. this call has already been proven false but im sure "Bubbas Army" will sill believe .

[hectorgutierrez1993]

wow this dude is such a jerk off just like rainman60110

[rainman60110]

Everyone who is over the age of 12 and watches wrestling is a confirmed douche bag

[tgrfan42069]

@rainman60110 says the guy who listens to bubba the douche bag.

[siCfr3ak83]

This fucking idiot just can't take a hint, he gets fired and continues to whine and cry about it now has someone 'fake call' his station pretending to be a Spike TV worker thinking "bubba being fired pissed off higher ups within Spike that they threaten to drop iMPACT!?" this guy is something else, he should just walk into on coming traffic along with his 'redneck army"

[codycurry52]

3:50 what the fuck is wrong with interracial dating.

God I hate this guy.

[H83tr3d]

You can tell there is fear in BTLS' voice ,cause if iMPACT! does get a boot (and odds are that might happen) , Hogan will be sent packing from Orlando , and then he will head straight to BTLS to throw a fit at him , cause those rumors where on his radio

[10057jr]

wait i just saw thap spike confirmed that the caller was a fake..that proves how much bubba is a lier right there tryin to do anything 4 attention and 2 think that he claims that spike would cancel tna because he was fired??? no body gives 2 shits about bubba the love sponge and this all proves that he knows it just as well as everybody else knows it

[10057jr]

that call sounded so fuckin fake. ive heard from many different places that tna is highly rated on spike and on thursdays but one of the mistakes tna made was bringing this asshole on their show. he didnt draw worth a fuck and he was farrr from being over with the fans and pairing him with the band was a desperate attempt to get him over with the fans which odviously didnt work. TNA Rules and Fuck off Bubba!!!

[puffykilled2pac]

Why would they keep someone on the air that NO ONE wants to see. Bubba had what we call "X-Pac" heat, where we didn't want to boo him like a heel, we wanted him off the air.

[zeoevil]

What a miserable piece of shit.

[aj2jax]

This is another one of Bubba's boys calling in to help him. He misses TV and being with the boys. THinking Hulk and EB had all this power and can do what ever they want like kids in a candy shop! Bubba is an ass and thank GOD he is out of the wrestling business and off TV!

[tgrfan42069]

@rainman60110 yet that man you say is the man is pissed because he got fired from wrestling..pot meet kettle

[rainman60110]

@tgrfan42069 no dildo I do not watch wrestling. I do not have to like everything that he does. I am a fan of his radio show. Wrestling is for children. Grow up and watch something real like MMA

[tgrfan42069]

@rainman60110 watch what you want.but for you to bash wretling fans then praise this guy who is whining because he got fired from a wrestling company is the pot calling the kettle black.

[jim6700]

hilarious blubber is just such comic relief it goes to show that anyone can succeed in fooling morons

[DegerateX]

@rainman60110

I find that hilarious coming from someone with Mario and gay-ass anime videos under their favorites.

LMFAO

[DanTheManHatesYoutub]

@DegerateX Thats great

[theawesome1]

what a dick this bubba dude this is he sucks

[StringerRequiem]

bubba should go to hell

[tgrfan42069]

bubba needs to get over himself.lmao saying spike is gonna cancle TNA because they fired bubba now that is a laugh in its self.bubba didnt draw hes a moron.

[SiloNova25]

I just read an article by some boss at Spike, and the rumours are true people. TNA is indeed being shut down :O

Nah just kidding ;P But a Spike TV executive has responded on his Twitter and said that the caller is a fake and he then praises TNA for its success.

[SiloNova25]

TNA is the highest rated show on Spike. Thats more than enough proof to prove this is all a fake Bubba "I'ma butt huirt lil bitch" the love sponge rumour.

[howaboutno3]

Bubba seriously believes the "exposure" TNA got from the cross-promotion with his radio show would have been enough to put them over the top? Fuck no, it wouldn't. Bubba is a local radio personality in Tampa who has no other markets on terrestrial radio, and has an abbreviated version of his show broadcasted on Howard Stern's secondary channel on Sirius during non-peak hours. Less than a million people listen to him every day, I bet. Bubba is nothing but an idiot who believes his own hype.

[SiloNova25]

Ignore this. Its just Bubba trying to stir shit because he is too butt hurt to come to terms with the facts that his Pigeon ass is out of TNA!

[brantfordredsox]

Black pope? Thats fucking Racits right there. He has NEVER!! been called the Black Pope in TNA. Maybe the WWE he was but NEVER since he has joined TNA.

He is "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero

[PhilipEbanks]

@brantfordredsox: Actually, Burke started calling himself "The Black Pope" during his blog while still in the WWE and months before he ever came to TNA.

[brantfordredsox]

the caller is full of shit. Impact is one of the highest rated shows on Spike TV.

[natedoggcata]

Cancer couldnt happen to a bigger douche

[wolf870626]

bubba is such a pathetic loser any wrestling fan of tna knows the name kevin kay and everything said here you can find on wikipedia its been weeks since he got fired and he needs to get over he is nothing but a sad ignorant pathetic hillbilly get a life todd clem your almost 45 years old

[Jericho2k7]

What a load of crap.

[Cubfan2240]

Phoney caller, nuff said. Bringing Bubba on TV was one of the worst ideas ever.

[Cubfan2240]

And what other programs do Spike have that are syndicated besides TNA and ManSwers?

[geromac]

dry your eyes you fat sad cunt. you got fired. stay out of this business.

[d0ubl3CC]

TNA is and always has been above Spike's average prime time rating. So Bubba, go fuck yourself.

[mikekraski]

Bubba's such a great humanitarian. Wonderful, caring, responsible and loving individual is Bubba.Bubba clearly demonstrates to all his fans what they should aspire to become as a wonderful human being.

[brodeur955]

Lowest rated show on Spike?! Really?! This is soo fake!

[mikekraski]

douche bag

[TheWrestling1989V2]

It's Brent. what a stupid asshole.

[FMW4Life]

He is a radio host that was fired from a wrestling company and not even WWE. Who fuckin; gives a shit?

[TheWrestling1989V2]

Lol this is a #FAIL

[caemawred]

lol "all the exposure on your show", what? the exposure to the 10 people who listen to his low budget radio show. The Way Bubba keeps pretending he doesn't remember the Spike Executives names ("Kevin something or whatever" etc) just shows how obviously planned out and fake this is, like it's so hard to remember the name Kevin K because you've so never heared of that name in all your innocence, yeah nice try fat boy.

Bubba needs to butter up his ego, "trot away quietly" lmao, yeah right.

[WhereIsMyDogWoffie]

The ratings for TNA are low compared to RAW, but the fact is they are very high for Spike. The only way Spike drops them is if they change their format to something like the lifetime channel. It is far more likely TNA will leave Spike then for Spike to drop them. I understand being upset that TNA fired you, but putting this horse shit on and acting like there is even a small chance this is real shows how stupid you think your fans are. Spike is garbage and so are there ratings.

[HGeneAnthony]

Ratings aren't black and white, TNA is original programming with lower adverting rates compared to other products. The rates are decent for the product just not in WWE's league. Spike TV seems to be behind the product considering they added another TNA program to their network. The fact the caller focused on the ratings end rather than the adverting rate seems to indicate this is fake. I'm just amazed by the hate for Bubba all around. I don't mind the guy but man do people hate him.

[jaydub8907]

Well, he was wrong when saying iMPACT was the lowest rated show on Spike

BUT wrestling generally pulls in lower ad revenue than other shows. Meaning there are shows that pull lower ratings than TNA but pull in more revenue for Spike.

Then Spike TV is footing the bill for a lot of TNA talent. If they feel they are putting too much money into TNA but aren't getting a return on their investment they will pull the plug.

[HaVoCRhyme]

@topeconhilo187 can u tell me who brent is?

[JPoz1123]

@topeconhilo187 good call David....its def Brent. they talk exactly the same. same pausesm etc

[TheSVRstorylines]

this is bullshit. tna isnt the lowest rated show on TV, its the highest rated fail.

[kmann23]

@TheSVRstorylines

lol

[PhantomLordNYC]

Bubba is so full of shit. Even with TNA's low ratings, it's still the highest rated show on Spike.

[JAISE1994]

Hogan hung Bubba out to dry.some friend he is.

[Stargate174]

I wonder if this is true and not something Bubba set-up himself. It is still intriguing to listen to because TNA does get low ratings, I understand and haven't been able to maintain a 1.0 the past while...but the product is good since moving back to Thursday's!

Let's hope things work out well for Bubba (even though he can be rude) and TNA and they both stay in business the next few years:)

[nWoWolfpacTV]

Fake
