Vince Russo Recalls Awesome Kong Beating Up Bubba The Love Sponge, Breaking It Up

Both Awesome Kong and Bubba The Love Sponge have been in the news for less than desirable reasons of late, with Kong being fired from TNA, and Bubba The Love Sponge in the middle of a Gawker vs. Hulk Hogan lawsuit.

The two infamously crossed paths in 2010, after Bubba had been hired by then-friend Hulk Hogan to do some work with TNA. After Bubba made some controversial comments about Haiti on Twitter, Awesome Kong proceeded to beat Bubba down.

Former TNA writer Vince Russo spoke at the end of last night's Wrestling Inc Podcast (which you can see above), about the exchange, and mentioned that he actually had to break up the fight.

"I saved Bubba The Love Sponge's life. I pulled Kong off Bubba. I was the first one on the scene and I pulled her off of him. She was wailing. He was doing one of these gimmicks (covering up)," Russo said.

When asked Russo said that Bubba was not liked well backstage. Kong was released due to the incident. She would later return to TNA, but was fired again earlier this year for attacking Matt Hardy's wife Reby Sky backstage.
