Brian Knobbs of the Nasty Boys tag team says he hasn’t heard officially from TNA that the Nastys have been released by TNA and he feels the team is “in limbo” with the company.
“Right now, no one has contacted me or Saggs. No one from TNA. I have talked to Hogan, and he has not verified whether we are not,” Knobbs said on the Monday Night Mayhem radio show last night. “Supposedly, we are still with TNA. Nobody hasn’t told us anything yet.”
The Nastys were reportedly released from TNA at the end of March, with TNA confirming their release. Apparently TNA has not contacted the Nastys were let them know they’re gone.
Knobbs said they came to TNA per Hulk Hogan’s request to help get recognizable names on Impact at the beginning of the year. Knobbs also talked up the “dream match” with Team 3D that was really only a dream match in the minds of a handful of people.
“Hulk asked me & Saggs, we did not ask to come to TNA. Hulk asked us to come help him out, and that’s what we were doing. We were coming to help him out,” Knobbs said. “We never went against Team 3-D, and it was like a legendary match-up made in heaven, since they’re crazy, and we’re crazy. So we loved it, and said, ‘Sure we’ll come help.'”
Knobbs also claimed WWE contacted the Nastys about possibly joining WWE for a program before they debuted with TNA on January 4.
“We got contacted back in January. They called me and left a message to call them back, and they wanted to see what our status was in TNA. It was short & sweet, and they left a number, but I never did call it,” he said. “I told Hogan they called us, and he said we should check it out, but I said right now, we’re down here, and our loyalty is our loyalty.”
