Bully Ray Has a Message for Younger Talent Who Can’t ‘Take the Torch’

– While speaking to Darren Paltrowitz on the Paltrocast this week, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray discussed Impact Wrestling Hard to Kill, which will be streaming on FITE TV this week. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

“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.”

His thoughts on the Impact Wrestling locker room: “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.”

At Impact Hard to Kill, Bully Ray will challenge Josh Alexander for the Impact World Championship. The show is scheduled for Friday the 13th (Jan. 13).
