Does WWE have a wellness policy for blog writers? If so Kev, you are looking at a 30 day suspension. Busted!

Pat Patterson Army!!

P.S. Please tell me this guy included a photo of his home, wife, and children.

Hey for a guy who doesn't think of you very seriously and his boy is the almighty how come he knows so much about who you work for when your on the radio rtc don't get caught up in there act kev you gonna make more idiots and their stooges more attention then they need im wondering does he have a man crush on you to.

Is this Lady Trucker's husband?
What a windowlicker.

Kev if the Sun is paying you $50 a Blog you should start writing Blogs about everything. Write a blog about wrestling, the weather, sports, what you ate for dinner last night, etc! In fact, how do I get paid $50 a blog? In all seriousness though I find it funny for someone to imply that you cover something thats homosexual oreinted but it's so obvious that Bubba's n--- are firmly supplanted in his mouth. I mean my god Rich, give Bubba's n--- some room to breath. Rich's response to this: "But Bubba told me he loved me!"

That was nice of you, Kevin. Especially since it's a safe bet Rich Mueller will enjoy seeing Rich Mueller's name in print.

I'd guess Rich Mueller will be easy to identify as the guy still talking about this entry six months (and even six years) from now.

Heck, let's say it once more... Rich Mueller!

Looks like this guy and Aubrey Huff would make real good friends.

This guy is ridiculous. Funny that he mentions you work for "an industry about to disappear." I assume he means newspaper, yet he is commenting about your wrestling BLOG, which is certainly not a dying medium. He should also check on "dying mediums" because the last I checked, satellite radio isn't faring so well. Likely "dying" soon.

I will say though, until these Haiti comments and all Bubba's army stuff, I'd never heard of the guy. And I'm a 25 year old who's right in their target market. I mean I'd still never listen to the jobber, but at least I'm conscious of his existence.

I love you bro. You never hide any of your criticism (although this letter is just hate mail). in fact you take it head on. Most people try to hide it. I'm surprised you even opened the mail. I would have just deleted it after seeing the headline. I never understood how people could love wrestling so much and yet bash it ever second they can with the same old "it's men in underwear."

GO ECK ARMY!!!

that letter was right on the money.

The first time I look at that picture, I actually thought you have no neck at All.
And then video came out, and I couldn't believe the guy on the tape and the neck-less man on the top of the were the same person.
The Bubba Soldier has a point there.

With that being said, My neck-less buddy Eck, I don't know much about this Bubba Commander or his entire Bubba forces, but please don't mess up with this buba Army or whatsoever, because, they are bubba-huge. They bubba-freaking-huge. You don't want to bubba-mess up with bubba-them.

I don't know how talented is this guy [I'm tlaking about Bubba, It's just I've got tired of typing his name], but the main discussion in a Wrestling blog is "is the guy really bringing something to the (wrestling) table?" And truth to be told,no he doesn't. Borash is the best backstage anchorman of pro wrsetling today, and BTLS not only do not bring nothing new at all, but also let his mouth shout things in public (or twitter) that you would only be allowed to say in a barber shop, or a bar. Or the Bubba-church, where all the Bubbabelievers congregate in a weelky basis.

Um so this is the place to talk about a radio shock jock? Kev you're smart enough to know that if you ignore these people they will go away right? Now you went and gave this guy the pleasure of knowing you noticed him. seriously, give pro-wrestling news and opinion

Your a class act KE Although It's a little much to give this piece of slime a soap box. Let him call in to Howard Stern for that kind of on his knees hero worship. Let's stick to wrestling. Ignore that silly TNA place filled with wanna be's, never will be's and has beens and concentrate on the road to Wrestlemania!

Who knew that BTLS actually had fans... much less a fan army???

I have listened to Bubba's show, and I am an avid reader of your blog. Honestly, if Bubba said "We Americans need to take care of each other before we take care of Haiti" would that have been judged the same way as F--- Haiti? Honestly, I feel hypocritical donotating $10.00 to the Haitian relief effort when I know I have neighbors who barely have the money to feed and cloth there family. Bubba had a point, but in shock jock fashion took it way too far.

I'm going to say that isn't a typical Bubba The Love Sponge fan only because he spelled everything correctly.

Don't you just love a little 'Love Mail'?

Yay America!

Someone is jealous that they aren't on the radio or have their own blog. Well, he is probably at least jealous of your looks.

Haha just fantastic great reading thanks,
now who's up for forming the Eck Army anyone?? Thanks for putting the guys email address as well Kev!

Kevin, I just wanted to say that you've got my support and if I could, I would punch this guy in the face like Kong did to Bubba.

It is unbelievable how people think they have all the liberties in the world when it comes to the internet. The funny thing about that letter is that the guy gave his name and email, as if to be prideful or something, but all he did is embarrass himself and *cough* reveal himself to the hackers *cough*

Rich Mueller and Bubba are idiots. I don't think every one of Sirius' listeners tune in to hear Bubba. Then again, there are a lot of idiots in the world.

Wait the industrys about to disappear? Oh silly Richard, 2012 is just a movie.

I feel sorry for him. He has no clue what gay porn actually is. Think his inbox might be about to find out though.

Bubba's Army? LOL. What a tool. Just because someone is available on 35 million radios doesn't mean that is his 'audience.' The guy has a very limited audience: 12-25 yr old males who enjoy fart jokes, calling each other 'gay', and bragging about their non-existant sex lives.

The idiot failed to even answer a basic question: if wrestling is so 'lame' and 'gay' why is Bubba involved wiht it?

After reading your post, I think I will write TNA a letter and tell them to fire this jerk.

Should we assume the "ss" at the end of Rich's email address means he also enjoys bigotry on a widespread, Nazi inspired scale? As always, the intelligence of the common American is astounding...

Thanks for posting this Kev, this brings me glee. Sure, this guy sounds real intelligent. You know, all the curse words and nothing but insults about the way you look in a picture on this site makes him sound like a real brain. Nothing this joker says about pro wrestling is an original thought. Anyone who grew up watching wrestling has probably heard all this stuff from their 5-15 year old peers. Sure, being a professional writer isn’t respectable work but being a crap shock jock is. If bubba is so good, why is it that TNA didn’t start using him till his BFF Hogan came to the company? Must be coincidence…
This email borders on creepy, I think this guy probably has hundreds of pictures of BBTLS all over his bedroom wall and is president and lone member of his fan club. What a joker. Thanks again for the laugh, keep up the good work.

Hahaha! I wonder if the poor sap knows that Bubba got his butt kicked by AWESOME KONG for his f---haite comment. That was reason he (and KONG) were sent home.

That sounds pretty consistent to what I'd expect a message written by a devotee of someone named "Bubba The Love Sponge" to be.

KEV, great job!!!

You couldn't have epitomized a better representative of "Bubba Army" than Mr. Mueller. His use of "Gay" is very ironic considering his man love for Bubba (insert your own joke here).

Get em' Eck.
Ravens still suck!

RESPONSE FROM KE: You had Comment of the Week all locked up until that last line.

Long time reader, first time responding. I am sure that Mr. Mueller upon completion of this email was telling his friends, "I TOLD THAT GUY".

Can I quote the Miz? Really? Really?
I have to rehash the old joke used about the Mid-South Coliseum here. What has 100 legs and 200 teeth? The Front row at the Mid-south Coliseum. But i transfer that to Bubba Army.

And for someone who likes to question other's sexual preferences, It was Mr. Mueller who obviously has a man crush on Bubba and who was judging another guy's appearance.

I'm just sayin!

Mr. Mueller, I suggest you change you're e-mail address.

Sorry Kevin,

As you are probably already aware you'll never please or change the minds of the already closed lemming like mentaility of devout followers of certain 'talents'.

I for one am embarrased at most of BTLS antics. Like most "shock jocks", they are either funny or not...depending who is in the audience and who your target is. Whereas Bill Cosby can sell out an arena without having to curse once, another segment of society will never buy those tickets. They will need a 'personality' whose only schtick is vulgarity, below the belt shlock, and other potty humor day in and day out (rinse and repeat) to keep them entertained.

If anything, I'm dumbfounded your critic doesn't see the Hogan and BTLS connection. There is no way in hell BTLS would be there, period, without Hogan's initial introduction and I'm one of those people that hopes Bubba leaves sooner than later.

For a while I thought that might have been Bubba himself, trying to sock it to you, pseudonymically. Then I realized the guy's spelling was almost correct, a feat Bubba could never have pulled off.

Ugh. There are all kinds of people in the world. I don't think your profile picture is that bad, it's not the best shot in the world, but it still showcases the fact that you're attractive man.

So there are seriously people who call themselves the Bubba Army? If it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, I wouldn't even know who this guy was...

Oh and I have Sirius Radio and have never ever in the year I've had it, even flipped to Howard 101.

wow. There's always one kev, keep it up! i wonder is this email from bubba himself....

You're on steroids? Say it isn't so, Kevin.

RESPONSE FROM KE: It isn't so.

He never defends Bubba's bad spelling or grammar. He repeatedly calls Kevin, a professional writer, stupid.

He makes several references to Howard Stern, why? NO WAY 32 Million people listen to Howard Stern's channels. I have Sirius XM and don't even have Howard Stern's channels available to me. He insists on comparing Kevin's wrestling radio show to a professional radio personality, while ignoring the fact that Kevin is involved or has been involved in wrestling, what your are commenting on.
Plus he mentions that wrestling is "an industry that is about to disappear." This guy apparently hasn't been following the total downturn of radio, including the fact that XM/Sirius haven't been able to make a dime since either one came into existence, and in fact were forced to merge in order to survive.

Wow that Guy is a loser. Kevin your great.

Priceless...

I always thought people like that are probably the happiest on earth. They believe they know everything better than everybody else. It must be a great feeling. Too bad it has to go with an unlimited ocean of stupidity.

Still, don't go to Tampa, I bet they kill fatheads on sight there.

haha, Kevin that was hilarious. what a hypocrite. keep up the great work, i really enjoy your blog.

He writes so eloquently.

this is what 5 generations of inbreding and crystal meth produce... Last time i checked Kevin you are the sports editor for the paper and do this on the side which means you do more hours a week than idiots like this have done in a life time... I don't for a second think all bubba the love sponge fans are like this because i've seen the rubbish John Cena Haters come out with but its people like this that kill my faith in mankind.

Ha.

Thanks for posting his email address.

If you like Sirius XM then see their "rags to riches" story on DVD. The movie is called "Stock Shock" and it goes over the history, development, and near-death experience of the stock. I did not know the inventor of sirius xm was a woman!--well she is now, at least.

www.stockshockmovie.com has the trailer, but the DVD is pretty much everywhere for sale.

So how did this guy find this blog if he's not a fan? Was he looking for some hardcore gay porn and merely annoyed that he only turned up what he considered softcore?...

Yeah wrestling is about to disappear.

Thats why the WWE brings in about 250 million dollars every quarter.

Sirius is the company that is closer to disappearing. Their stock price is horrible.

wait does that makes the divas soft core lesbain porn?

I'll take the DX Army over the Bubba Army any day!
Hey Rich.....I got two words for ya........

I laughed.

For someone who ridicules wrestling and people who watch it, he sure knows a lot about it...???

I tweeted Dixie Carter that I wouldn't watch TNA unless Bubba was fired. One of Bubba's Army on Twitter harassed me and I see he did it others. Threatening them with names of their parents/wives/addresses/phone numbers, saying they would post it among other members of the Bubba Army to make my life hell.

That = the Bubba Army. I didn't even tweet Bubba or his fan yet they found me and threatened me. I looked through Bubba's old tweets and saw him FLATOUT tell one of his goons to "find info"on his haters because his goon was a "f**king savage."

What a loser that emailer is

Sounds like Rich is trying to get his own show. We can call it the "Rich the goof from Clearwater show". Sounds as good as a show call Bubba the love sponge. All idiots, God bless us all.

This guy is a complete and utter w**ker Kev. If this is the iq of a typical Bubba fan, then I think no futher comment by me needs to be made on this subject and if the rumours of Awesome Kong punching out Bubba are true then my respect for this women has risen by tenfold and I will be a fan of hers forever

While in Jacksonville, Fl a few years back, I was working in radio, doing traffic and news for various radio stations. One carried the Bubba show. It was beyond pathetic. I had to sit there and listen as this fool graphically described performing oral sex on a female. This wasn't aired over night, or even in the evening. It was on at ten in the morning. I remember thinking just how sad certain parts of the population were. I'm no prude, but this was far over the line.

When he came to Jacksonville, for several weeks before going on the air, there were billboards plastered all over the river city, showing this guy sitting on the john with his pants around his ankles, holding a sign between his legs that said "join the movement". Classy.

"Who knew that BTLS actually had fans... much less a fan army???"

Posted by: Ondi Lundgren

Army Of One?

Who knew that Cody Deaner was a member of Bubba's Army?

Wait, that was harsh, I apologize to Cody Deaner. At least he was a decent jobber who liked his job. This dude is...um...wow.

Also as a former member of the U.S. Army I find it insulting that these jack-offs call themselves one. How about Bubba Scrubbers? Rub-a-Dub-Tubbers?

I give up trying to figure out "diehard idiots". They give all fans bad names...

I don't see the problem. Albeit, I'm not very good at filling in blanks, so I'm only guessing that what he wrote was:

Fool you!!!!

Are you really going to talk about who has talent and who doesn't? You write a blog about grown men in panties for an industry that is about to disappear. How much does the Sun pay you $50 per blog? If they pay at all.

You are on a strait AM radio station once a week. Bubba's show is on Howard 101on Sirius XM Satellite Radio multiple times a day, 365 days a year. Sirius XM has 35 million listeners according to the last Arbitron study of sat radio. 32 million listen to Howard's channels you retarded roided up wannabe worker. Not to mention his daily morning drive show on FM radio, NOT AM like your stupid art once a week.

You look like a moron trying to say Bubba is only there because of Hogan. He's got more broadcast experience than everyone on that show combined. IDIOT!!! I wish I could hear your lame aim attempt at radio.

Go back to writing about soft core "gay porn" as Howard correctly pointed out about wrestling. It's men in panties sweating on each other. What's worse is it's your gig to cover it. You're a complete fry. If I see you in Tampa, I will tell you to your fat roided up face. You punk. If you care about Haiti so much, then you go there and help. Who's stopping you???

Bubba Army!!!!!!!

How did I do? I kinda like his "lame aim attempt" comment.

In addition to the many 13-year old girls who listen to Blubber there is also Rich Mueller. Ironic that Rich puts down wrestling, since Blubber has indeed done some wrestling himself. Yes, it's true!

I think Bubba needs to change his name to Bubba the Hate Sponge. Seriously, the only love going on there our his fans and their views that he is God.

Creating controversy isn't always bad but what positive message did this present us? What point did he have in it? We can say that we have our own problems but Karina is nothing compared to this. As much as I was disappointed in the reaction to Katrina, it pales in comparison here and I am not really sure the man really cares about the victims of Katrina either. The man(If we can call him that) cares about money, ratings, and having people here him spew out hate.

Personally, my view is that the man adds nothing positive by being on radio or on this planet.

Kevin,

Have you ever considered creating a heel altar ego named Eck the Hate Wash Cloth?

If you are interested, go read Bubba's Wikipedia page. Talk about a dying industry. It looks like if satellite radio hadn't come along the FCC would have killed Bubba the Love Sponge.

Has he made similar comments about spending money in Iraq and Afghanistan before we take care of ourselves?

Apparently you are fat and on steroids

Now I can see why Big Daddy V was future endeavoured.

Jimmy Cornette has called out Bubba The Love Sponge and challenges him to come on Who's Slamming Who!!! podcast

should be good if he does show up on the show

Maybe Awesome Kong can go knock out this guy, too.

Honestly, if Bubba said "We Americans need to take care of each other before we take care of Haiti" would that have been judged the same way as F--- Haiti?

Um, yeah. Foreign aid is one thing. This was a friggin' catastrophe. There's a big difference. Most of us are not too stupid to recognize that fact.

I was also going to mention - before I got so rudely cut off [:-)] - that this guy uses the term "worker" which is not usually used by someone who doesn't follow the industry.

Just wondering, Kev, are you working as a full-time journalist? I know you've written a few wrestling-related articles for the Sun but do you write other articles too for the newspaper? I can't imagine that you answer "blogger" when people enquire as to your occupation.

RESPONSE FROM KE: I started at The Baltimore Sun when I was 19, worked there 14 years, left to work at WCW, then came back to The Sun seven years ago. I worked my way up from editorial asst to reporter to copy editor to my current position as asst. sports editor. In addition to my main responsibilitiesas an editor, I write this blog and an occasional story for print/web.

So now we know bubba's real name is Rich Muller. Well tried bubba, but nobody gives a crap about your fu***n radio show. To be more precise, nobody gives a f*** about you. So do ourselves a favor. JUST DIE and ROT IN HELL!!!

Kev, I don't know if you have seen this before but this picture sums up that email.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f204/NetBuM/E-Thug.jpg

Enjoy

Isn't "worker" a term used by wrestling insiders and die-hard knowledgable fans? Come out of the closet, Rich Mueller...your mom will let you watch wrestling in the living room!

Nice touch in adding the e-mail address, Kevin.

To show how bored I am with talking about BTLS I decided I would recite a song that is as eloquent as Mr. Mueller's email.

Pants on the Ground By General Larry Prat

"Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with you pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat looking like a fool
Walking down town with yo pants on the ground
get it up!!
HEY! got your pants off the ground
lookin like a fool, walkin talking
with you pants on the ground
get it up
hey get them pants off the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with you pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat looking like a fool
Lookin’ like a fool with you pants on the ground".

Thank you and have a nice day.

Sheesh! I'm all for debate and freedom of speech....I disagreed with your pick of John Cena vs. Edge as feud of the decade, but it still never occured to me to write to you and accuse you of being on steroids, make a further accusation that you're a gay porn writer, belittle you for being on AM radio and tell you to move to Hati.

Rich,
I’d like to congratulate you on such a clever and witty e-mail written to Kevin Eck. It was clearly well written and well thought out. One of my favorite touches was the phrase “grown men wearing panties” used twice in a four paragraph e-mail. Once would simply not be enough. Saying it twice was absolutely mandatory to captivate the perceived homoeroticism that you and Howard undoubtedly feel toward the sport. Bubba should know a little about what he is speaking about since his first radio broadcast was on 102.5 “The Bone” which doesn’t sound gay at all. Really, I mean it.
I also like how you took note of Mr. Eck’s appearance. However, I was struck by confusion by the phrase fat and roided up right next to each other? Seems like a paradox, but I’d imagine an intellectual such as yourself was simply trying to be ironic. I took a look on the ole internet to find a picture of you’re the leader of your army, Mr. Bubba. I find it appalling that Michael Jordan won’t give credit to Bubba for being the first to wear the golden hoop. Bubba makes the style look doubly cool by wearing both of his mother’s earrings. Does Hulk make him wear a dress with those, as well?
In closing, I would like to discourage you from any further lambasting of Mr. Eck. While you may perceive that he has a soft and doughy exterior I can assure you that this man has encountered more than any average writer or talk show host (albeit the inferior AM station you refer to). He has been in a hit and run accident in Dallas only to chase down the aggressor by foot and savagely put him in a chokehold in Houston (sans panties). He was also the first journalist to become aware of the Baltimore Ravens move, although the comparison to the Baltimore Ravens and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers borders the AM/FM contrast you created earlier. I would even go far as to say that the Buccaneers might even be the Sirius radio of the NFL with their stifling 3-13 record. On top of all Eck’s accomplishments he also bolsters a 7-0 record in 4 am knife fights occurring at various Denny’s restaurant franchises.
Eck’s Entourage,

Ryan

Hey Kevin, what are the betting odds that this guy lives in his moms basement?
GO KONG!!

I wonder if Bubba The Love Sponge got his moniker in jail? The Bubba Army members might just be his "followers" from jail.
