TNA returns live on Impact with “Open Fight
Night.” Also TNA will tape next week’s episode from Jonesboro, Arkansas.
As part of tonight’s theme, Jeff Hardy is scheduled to call out a member of Aces &
Eights. This will be part of a two-week promotion for Hardy getting his TNA
Title re-match against Bully Ray on the April 11 Impact episode.
Also advertised for the event is the latest
on “brooding” AJ Styles, how Sting will react to Hulk Hogan
chewing him out the last weeks on Impact, and Hogan continuing his battle with
Aces & Eights.
No matches have been announced in-advance
since the matches will be created from the open call-out storytelling
format.
As noted last week, Bully Ray got into an
altercation with a fan at last Thursday’s Impact Wrestling tapings from Chicago, Illinois. While Aces & Eights was leaving the ringside
area through the crowd, Bully got into a fan’s face and unleashed the following:
“Sit down, faggot. Yeah… What are you
gonna do? You ain’t gonna do a damn thing. You got punked in your own frickin’
town. I’m punkin’ you out in front of your daughter. You got punked! You
invented fags, you fag. You should’ve did something already, you should’ve did
something already, but you ain’t doing nothing’. I’m punking you in front of
your hometown. You frickin’ queer. You shave your frickin’ chest.”
Bully Ray and Dixie Carter tweeted about the
incident apologizing for his conduct.
Bully Ray: “Made an inappropriate comment to
a fan in Chicago. If anyone was offended by this…I do apologize. No
harm was meant.”
Dixie Carter: “Heard @RealBully5150 made inappropriate
comments to a fan in Chicago. This will not be tolerated. Sincere apologies on
behalf of TNA.”
