In-Ring: Bully Ray

Bully Ray is in the ring to address his heinous attack on IMPACT World Champion Josh Alexander and his wife, Jade in the closing moments of Over Drive. Bully questions what he did wrong – after all, he lived up to his promise of calling his shot honorably for an IMPACT World Title match at Hard To Kill. Bully says that while Alexander is a great wrestler, he’s not smart like he is. Bully calls himself the “baddest of the bad” and asks why Alexander would put his wife in harm’s way. Bully reveals that Alexander won’t be here tonight while he tends to his injuries. Bully declares victory at Hard To Kill when Rich Swann attacks him from behind. Their scheduled match starts next.

Bully Ray vs. Rich Swann

Swann hits a splash off the second rope but Bully kicks out at one. Swann climbs to the top as Bully shuts down his momentum. Swann is trapped in the Tree of Woe when Bully assaults him with a flurry of strikes. Swann hits a jawbreaker, then takes the big man off his feet with a dropkick. Bully crashes and burns on a senton attempt, allowing Swann to soar with a 450 Splash. Bully attacks Swann with his steel chain, causing the disqualification.

Gujjar tries to fight back but Moose shuts down his momentum with a Uranage. Gujjar avoids the spear, then connects with a Slingblade. Gujjar misses the Gargoyle Spear attempt, allowing Moose to capitalize with his own spear for three.

Winner: Moose via Pinfall.

After the match, Moose berates the IMPACT Zone for not listening when he told them that Bully Ray would screw over IMPACT World Champion Josh Alexander. Moose says that never wants to hear anyone say Bully Ray’s name ever again – say his name? Say his name and he appears, Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry confronts Moose in the middle of the ring. Moose questions why he’s out here but Hendry said that it was Moose who “said his name”. Hendry knows a cry for help when he sees one and believes that Moose wants a shot at his Digital Media Title. Moose attacks Hendry with a big boot but Bhupinder Gujjar renters the fray and takes out Moose with the Gargoyle Spear.
