Brian Knobs and Jerry Sags are headed back to Nastyville.
The Nasty Boys have been let go by TNA, according to a report on pwinsider.com that cited TNA sources. Rumors had been circulating the past few days that they were gone, but this is the first confirmation from a credible source.
Knobs and Sags are still on the roster on TNA's Web site, although Consequences Creed, who confirmed earlier this week that he had been released by the company, remains on the site as well.
The Nasty Boys, who debuted on the three-hour Impact show on Jan. 4 that kicked off the Hulk Hogan-Eric Bischoff Era, were reportedly working on a 90-day contract, which TNA opted not to extend.
Knobs and Sags proved to be a washed-up act that was just taking up space. Knobs, in particular, had no business being in the ring. He was so out of shape that he got winded cutting a promo.
It came as a shock to no one when The Nasty Boys – two of Hogan's cronies – showed up in TNA after Hogan gained power. It's a positive sign that he was not able to save their jobs when it was so obvious that they weren't over.
Speaking of Hogan's hangers-on, hopefully TNA isn't finished trimming the fat from its roster.
