Bully Ray competed several times at WrestleMania but his guest referee role this year proved to be the most fun for the Hall of Famer.
The former TNA World Champion officiated the Philadelphia Street Fight that saw Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits defeat The Final Testament.
On a recent edition of the “Wise Choices” podcast, Ray recalled his time in Philadelphia, the home of the original ECW. He said,
“This was the most fun I’ve ever had at WrestleMania. Every single WrestleMania I had performed in beforehand was extremely stressful with the TLC matches, the follow-up matches, even some of the lesser to an extent matches, the Four Corners matches. Me and D-Von always put a lot of pressure on ourselves.
“We expected a certain level of performance from ourselves, plus our opponents, but this time, this was so last minute and so carefree to just go out there as a referee, and you’re a referee in a hardcore match. There’s no rules, so all I have to do is basically sit back, enjoy the chaos, and every once in a while drop down to my knees for the two count and then the three count.”
Bully Ray competed several times at WrestleMania including in the Triangle Ladder Match in 2000 and the acclaimed TLC 2 match from WrestleMania 17.
