Audio Wrestling's Official Statement Regarding The Kid Kash Situation
Submitted by Daniel Pena on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 at 2:11 AM EST





Producers of AudioWrestling.com site and hosts of "Wrestling News Live" program issue statement regarding TNA releasing this week's guest Kid Kash following controversial interview.

The producers of the AudioWrestling.com site and "Wrestling News Live" program that featured the controversial live interview with David "Kid Kash" Cash this week have been buried with media requests and questions over the last 48 hours. Now that the interview has apparently caused TNA to release Kid Kash, we wanted to make a few things clear to everyone.

In the interview, Kash bashed TNA and said he wanted a release from the company so he could possibly participate at the ECW One Night Stand PPV coming up in June. Kash also made numerous negative comments about the TNA product and said he would no longer be giving TNA 100% effort in the ring (if you missed it, a full recap is included at the end of this statement).

On Tuesday, news broke that TNA officials had discussions regarding the WNL interview and decided to give Kash his release since the negative comments made on the show were not positive for the company's image going forward.

"Under any other circumstances, I would be very, very upset at the fact that a man's job was taken away from him do to comments made on our wrestling show," said Trey Stone, co-host and producer of the Wrestling News Live program. "However, it was very apparent from the beginning of the interview that Kid Kash wanted to be fired or released from his contract. I hope he is happy with the decision he made and doesn't regret the things he said on our show."

While the hosts of the show, Stone and Jody Kinard (known to listeners simply as Trey and JSK) both agreed with Kash on many of his points about the creative direction of TNA, there were also many comments made by Kash that the hosts disagreed with and in some cases, argued against. The producers and hosts of AudioWrestling.com and Wrestling News Live do not have any personal conflicts with TNA and have a tremendous amount of respect for their product and talent. We would like to set an open invitation to anyone from the TNA organization to be a guest on a future edition of WNL to have an open forum to discuss "their side of the story" and to challenge any of the comments or claims made by Kid Kash on the 4/18/05 edition of WNL.

"If you have had any problems accessing the AudioWrestling.com site in the last few days it is because the site has been absolutely flooded with traffic stemming from the explosive interview Kid Kash had on Wrestling News Live," said Paul Austin, creative director of the AudioWrestling.com website. "The one hour interview is available in streaming audio on the site and is expected to come close to matching 'first 72 hour' records for most downloads for an individual interview in the site's 9 year history which has included interviews with the top names in the industry including The Rock, Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Jim Ross and hundreds of others."
