TNA Cancels Major Show, Backstage Heat On Bubba The Love Sponge
– TNA announced the cancellation of their Sunday show in Paris today. The event is canceled due to French television and radio occupying the venue during TNA's scheduled performance? CANCELLATION OF SUNDAY'S TNA LIVE EVENT IN PARIS, FRANCE Due to the tragedy unfolding on the island nation of Haiti, TNA Wrestling announces with regret, and understanding, the cancellation of this Sunday's show at The Zenith in Paris, France. TNA was notified by French officials that the French Ministry of Culture in association with French television and radio are occupying the venue during our scheduled performance for a concert of solidarity on behalf of the Haitian people that will be broadcast live. We apologize for the inconvenience the abrupt cancellation may cause our fans, especially those who were travelling to Paris to see TNA Wrestling's first show in France. We appreciate your understanding that this situation was beyond our control. Ticket holders should contact their point of purchase for a refund or contact the Zenith box office.
– At last word, the former Mr. Kennedy, Ken Anderson, was not under a long-term contract to TNA. He is said to be working show-to-show for the time being.
– There's major heat on TNA backstage interviewer and radio shock jock Bubba The Love Sponge after some pretty tasteless comments he made over the weekend regarding the earthquake in Haiti.' As everybody is aware of by now, an earthquake devastated the country of Haiti last week and tens of thousands are feared dead. Bubba the Love Sponge is apparently sick of the United States efforts to help another country when we have so many issues at home to address and wrote on Twitter, "F— Haiti" No matter how you feel about the United States' foreign policy and its political stance on spending American dollars to help other nations in need, a mainstream radio personality making a comment like that is pretty foolish. As a result of the "F— Haiti" comment, Bubba was told by TNA management to stay home over the weekend and not to attend the TNA production meetings headed into Sunday night's Genesis pay-paer-view. He was reportedly supposed to be part of an angle involving The Band at Genesis.
