News Bully Ray Leaves TNA Wrestling

[Testify]

They get a new network or whatever yet?

Still in negotiations with Spike and other networks too, reportedly.

 

[Senhor Perfect]

TNA on HGTV! Watch as Rockstar Spud plants a potato garden and as Austin Aries builds the greatest deck that ever lived!!!!

 

[Roadster]

TNA on WWE Network!

 

[Snowman1]

Downright tragic. Hate seeing him go, especially after such a huge moment. First AJ, now this? Man this sucks. :downer:

Just like with AJ Styles though, if his salary can pay for 4+ new wrestlers to add depth to the roster it'll all be worth it.

 

[Solidus1]

Oooh that's gotta hurt the company.

 

[Red Rain]

Confirm, unfortunately. This isn't like two years ago when basically the same thing happened, but later he came back.

I'm hearing though, that Bully & TNA may be able to reach a deal for him to appear for TNA two more times: October 11th and 12th, for his HoF induction and BFG PPV in Japan, since TNA has TV taped all until September 25th.

This is bad news obv, all I can do is fpalm.

If you say it, there's got to be something to this.
It's possible Bully has peaked and anything he does hereafter will merely be repetitious.
Bully's work is quite good and necessary. I'm not a huge fan of his face work, but the heel/tweener role is most optimal.

Well, this sucks for TNA. Really, really odd though. He has just had a pretty big moment and is leaving? Weird.

It would be more awkward if it were a title win. It's fitting that he be given that moment. He's had an extraordinary TNA run.
Bully exceeded all expectations and showed a diversity nobody has shown in that company's history, including Jarrett.
Dixie must be fond of him, given how closely they've worked together on twitter and Indy trolling.

Yes, it was a nice way to go out if he truly is leaving. You know, sometimes these moments don't have to be a boost for a guy or something like that, they're just that, great moments in a company's history. Will probably end up being the case here.

Disagree. Having 5 Fandangos is not greater than having 1 Chris Jericho.

 

[Red Rain]

Going out like Jericho wouldn't hurt. Jericho always finds an interesting way of embarrassing his character on the way out.

 

[Farooq]

Sucks to see him go, I did enjoy his gimmick and he was funny as hell. Hope he does well with whatever he goes after now.

Well that's the key, don't pick up a bunch of no-talent jackasses and you're good.

Like - in theory - if AJ leaving meant we get Sanada, Bram, and the Wolves on our TV it's all worth it.

Sometimes 4 for 1 is worth it, particularly if you are trading 4 young talents for an aging one.
