Host asks when Eric Bischoff signed, did JB see any of this coming. JB said he heard what Eric said on the show (JB has no place on TV, etc). JB said he never took a shot at Eric or said anything personally, and that it was humor on the show. He said he worked for Eric before back in the day. He can’t say anything bad about Eric and respects what he has done and who he is.
Host says as new folks continue to pour in what is the atmosphere backstage at TNA? Are people nervous about their job, does everyone need to step up? JB says that’s what it is and is comparable to a new head coach coming in. JB said they set a record rating on January 4 – he said there have been great turnouts to house shows over the last 5-6 weeks. He said everyone is in the situation to see what happens and will step it up – they will bring out the best in everyone.
Host says JB is taking a break on Facebook/Twitter and that his tweets were funny for those that follow. Has JB given thought on how long to stay away? JB says he doesn’t know what he says will show how he’s feeling. As of now, he doesn’t really feel like doing it.
Host asks about online, Spin-Cycle stuff – if he’s doing it. JB says he’s off television but that doesn’t count for internet as far as he has heard. As of now, he’ll be doing Spin Cycle. He’s not going to be on the pre and post shows at TNA Live this week, but we’ll see what happens, he says. Host says he doesn’t care if it’s a work or shoot – but when he sees something, he can kind of sense if it’s a "worked shoot", like a sort of truth behind it. Host says based on the facts, based on what Bischoff said on a prior interview, what happened at Genesis has some part of truth to it. They question what dues JB has to pay – he’s been there since the beginning. Co-host says if this is a work, using these social networking sites like Twitter, then this is a masterful job and is revolutionary by fooling the fans in a way they haven’t done it before.
Host says if it is a work, why don’t they do it for an AJ or Amazing Red. Co-host says it works for JB and announcers more and fans now believe that Eric Bischoff is this tyrant and they are really taking over TNA. But all in all, the hosts are unsure based on the facts and twitter. If this is real, the hosts say it is terrible for JB.
