Bully Ray will challenge Josh Alexander for the Impact World Championship in a Full Metal Mayhem Match at the upcoming Impact Hard to Kill pay-per-view event on January 13th.
While speaking to Darren Paltrowitz on the Paltrocast, Ray praised Impact Wrestling for producing the best wrestling content in the business. He said,
“I knew that IMPACT and FITE had had a relationship, and I think it’s great because more people get to put more eyes on their product. I honestly think, and I’ve said this on Busted Open, IMPACT Wrestling is the best product out there that people really don’t know about. We give people an opportunity to talk about IMPACT Wrestling on Busted Open, and in the past three to four months, they’ve wanted to talk about it more than ever before. IMPACT is going a great job. Listen, I might have my problems with Scott D’Amore and Tommy Dreamer and Josh Alexander. But the company as a whole I think is doing a fantastic job.”
While Ray did appreciate the locker room for its hard work and honest efforts, the Hall of Famer noted that he isn’t a fan of the “passing down the torch” concept. Instead, he is coming for Alexander’s title this Friday. Ray noted,
“The locker room is what impresses me the most. Very, very aggressive, hard-working locker room of men and women who are going out there and really trying to carve out their spot, find the spotlight, get themselves over, earn themselves opportunities at gold, earn themselves opportunities at more lucrative contracts. I’m not here to pass down a torch. I’m here to grab Josh Alexander’s gold. I’m not a fan of that whole passing down the torch. If you can take the torch, then take the torch. But if you can’t, **** you.”
