Impact News: James Storm Gives Bob Ryder Shout-Outs on Impact, Note on Chris Harris’ Return

– James Storm gave a couple of shout-outs to the late, great Bob Ryder on tonight’s Impact. Storm faced Eric Young on tonight’s show in his 1,000th match, and in both a promo before the match and the post-match aftermath he mentioned Ryder.

Ryder was one of the key figures in TNA/Impact history, and was the company’s first and longest-serving employee. He passed away in November of last year after a long battle with cancer.

Without Bobby Ry there is a good chance there is no @JamesStormBrand, @AMWwildcat, @TheEricYoung, @RealRobertRoode, myself, and certainly no @IMPACTWRESTLING.#ThankYouBobRyder just doesn’t seem like enough thanks.
RIP to the heart and soul of TNA/Impact Wrestling
Love ya Bob https://t.co/ItB8FyRoda
