Pope out of BFG series

[GrammarNazi82]

During the Hardcore Justice PPV event in Orlando, Florida on August 12, 2012 the thugs known as The Aces and 8s attacked The Pope D’Angelo Dinero. The vicious assault focused on the shoulder and eliminated him from competing that night costing him 20 points in the BFG Series.

During a visit to his doctor last week, Dinero found out it cost him more. The Pope sent out the following tweet (photo below):

This news has caused Impact Wrestling to officially eliminate Dinero from the remainder of the 2012 BFG Series! In this year’s format for the BFG Series, every wrestler was scheduled to face everyone in the tournament. Dinero still had three matches left in the series vs. AJ Styles, Rob Van Dam and Robbie E!

ImpactWrestling.com has learned that Sting will be making a decision regarding this situation and those matches on Thursday’s Impact Wrestling Live on Spike TV at 8/7c.

You're welcome. Always my pleasure when I actually come across something before it's posted here. I edited my original post to include the photo rather than just the link though.

But nice to see some updates.

So his real name is Elijah Burke then....:finger: Impact. Always gotta keep the black man down. Racist.

Sorry, guess I should have posted the update on that thread instead of starting a new one.

Sucks for him to not be able to continue. I've got a ton of respect for Pope/Elijah. (Am I the only one who thinks it would actually be cool to have a Pope named Elijah?). I loved him when he was on WWECW and have consistently enjoyed his work on TNA.

Hope he gets better soon.
