Lex Luger-TNA Update, Bubba’s TNA Firing, iMPACT! News, More

— Lex Luger arrived in Orlando, FL last night. It was expected that he may be a part of tonight’s show, but one person backstage stated that he did not see Luger backstage, and that his name never came up.

— As of 6PM Eastern, Desmond Wolfe is about 2,000 votes ahead of Jeff Hardy in TNA Contender voting.

— TNA will be at the Coliseum Annex in Winston-Salem, NC on July 30th at 7:30 PM. Tickets go on sale June 18th at 10 AM.

— The TNA crew will be getting a rare weekend off as there are no live events scheduled this weekend.

— As noted earlier, Bubba The Love Sponge had a lot to say on his radio show this morning on 102.5 FM in Tampa. He said he was fired via email by Dixie Carter, who said TNA has a zero tolerance policy for racial insensitivity. This likely has to do with the ongoing Konnan lawsuit. Bubba said he was fired for calling Awesome Kong a “dumb black bitch”, and asked how he could be labeled racially insensitive when TNA has a character called “The Black Pope.” He called Dixie Carter a “mark bitch” and said she listens to marks, and that Vince McMahon would never make decisions that way. He said Dixie shouldn’t be running TNA, that nobody watches TNA, and that appearing on TNA is beneath him. He claims to be suing TNA over Awesome Kong attacking him and he didn’t do it before because of his friendship with Hulk Hogan. He ended the broadcast by saying he is going to war against TNA, and also somehow blamed journalist Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun for being fired. See ya!
