Partial Transcript of Awesome Kong on the Cowhead Radio Show

On Thursday April 29, 2010, Awesome Kong was a guest on The Cowhead Show. This is a radio show broadcast from Tampa Bay Florida on WHPT-FM, 102.5 The Bone.

I have transcribed a portion of the interview, and in particular this is the section where Mike Calta (Cowhead) was asking Kia Stevens (Awesome Kong) to give her story concerning the physical altercation between herself and Bubba the Love Sponge. The transcription ends at the point where Bubba appears on air.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Cowhead: The story that I got was out of nowhere while Bubba was walking, probably holding hands with Hulk Hogan, all of a sudden he heard screaming from over his shoulder “Haiti” and then the blows began to land on Bubba’s face. That’s the story that I get from Bubba

Kong: That’s a little dramatic, ahhhh, that’s dramatic

Cowhead: Did you in fact scream Haiti cause that’s the most important part of the story to me, I wish to god that if you did, if you could reenact that for me right now I would love that

Kong: Reenact well as far as I remember I do have to say that I lost my manager who was like a father to me a few days before this incident I hadn’t slept and I was really I mean tired to the point of delirium

Cowhead: Right

Kong: Mr Hogan actually, I had been looking for him the whole day, I kept asking what did he look like and everybody said look for a little fat f’er

Cowhead: Uh huh

Kong: So all day long I was looking for a little fat f’er and I finally found the little fat f’er and he had the Bubba sign on the back of his tshirt and I went to approach him and to tell him what I thought about him and before I could even get to him Mr Hogan came up and actually introduced me to him and I shook his hand

Cowhead: So Hogan said hey Awesome Kong I want you to meet my friend Bubba the Love Sponge

Kong: Yes, and you know at that moment it was like what do you do Mr Hogan has asked you to

Cowhead: Right right the godfather of wrestling has asked you to be nice to the guy you want to give a tongue lashing to

Kong: Exactly, you can’t write this stuff as I was going to tap him on his shoulder as he was walking out of the door Mr Hogan came up and gave me a hug and pulled me aside and said hey kid how are you doing and I said good, and that’s when Bubba turned around at Mr Hogan’s voice and he said have you met Bubba and I said no and he said hi “I’m Bubba the Love Sponge” and I just shook his hand

Cowhead: Uh huh

Kong: And afterwards I felt physically ill

Cowhead: From shaking his hand

Kong: From shaking his hand I felt physically ill I felt like I had I felt like I had betrayed some dignity inside myself for appeasing

Cowhead: Cause you had every plan of ripping him a new ass but Hogan kind of screwed that up and you were like I can’t believe that I didn’t go through with it, so when is the next confrontation and how much longer after that

Kong: Right, so so right after that I had decided that I had nothing to do that day I was actually just gonna go home and I said I wasn’t gonna be able to sleep that night unless I just say something to him so let me just go up and say something to him and I’ll go home, um I went to the studio where he was and you know I was just gonna walk up to him and say you know what I was gonna say and he popped up from behind like a curtain and the next thing you know, yeah, I was running at him

Cowhead: Gimme gimme what you say, gimme a good Haiti, gimme a good Haiti

Kong: What so you can use that as a soundbite forever

Cowhead: Oh I will, cause all I got is me doing it I didn’t get to hear it and to me it sounds like I don’t know what I would do

Kong: I I didn’t scream Haiti

Cowhead: What did you scream?

Kong: I just screamed, just you know

Cowhead:

Kong: “You m f’er you m f’er” and I yeah I did it was it wasn’t as exciting as punching him I just slapped him around a little bit I didn’t beat him up or anything I just you know

Cowhead: You you once you screamed Haiti then you started slapping him?

Kong: I I I didn’t scream Haiti at first I just pushed him and started slapping him around a bit and he uh

Cowhead: Did he have any idea why Awesome Kong out of nowhere is now beating him up while he is backstage, I would be like “I just met her and she was so nice and now she’s hitting me”

Kong: He had a look on his face, he had a really scared look on his face and he goes “what what wha wha what did I do” and I go you know what you did and he goes “no I don’t” and then when he says “what did I do” that made me more angry and so I swatted at him some more and he cooled down and I

Cowhead: you’re breaking up you’re breaking up a little bit

Kong: Vince Russo came over and he pulled me off of him

Cowhead: Vince Russo, you could probably kill him too

Kong: I don’t have any qualms with Russo but then again I don’t know what he does you know in the writing room if he’s an advocate of mine or not but Vince Russo pulled me off of him and someone just someone in general said what’s going on and that’s when I said “It’s for Haiti”

Cowhead: Did he cry cause there were rumors backstage that he was crying?

Kong: I have no idea, I know that I was upset, and that I was so relieved after that that I could finally go to sleep and I seriously I just myself just sat on the asphalt and just

Cowhead: Can you give me one more Haiti scream just one more Haiti

Kong: I can’t give you any more, that’s all I had in me

Cowhead: Haiti

Kong: But it was, but it was for “Haiti”

Cowhead: I love it

Kong: But I had no intentions of doing that at all, I find myself to be more articulate than that, than to resolve incidents through brute force automatically, usually it takes someone it takes a lot to get me to beat your ass, you know it takes a lot for me to use my fists before I use my words
