WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss various topics, including this past weekend’s TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view.
Ray said, “I believe that NXT and TNA are banking on Bound for Glory being their biggest show ever. Being a big deal night. Whether it’s a nostalgia match like the Hardys and the Dudleys, or current championship matches between your NXT and TNA World Champions. If you’re going to have a TNA talent in the men’s division and women’s division win their championships back, wouldn’t you rather see it happen at the company’s biggest show? So I think that’s what they’re banking on. I think they’re banking on holding off on the moment.”
“I understand why people would be upset…”
On criticism of Trick Williams retaining the TNA World Title:
“Listen, I understand why people would be upset… It seemed like it was Santana’s time. But I understand the business thinking of it. ‘Let’s do it at Bound for Glory. Let’s continue to tell the story.’ Hopefully they utilize ‘NXT’ to tell this story even more, because you can only get so much done on AXS.
TNA’s Future
He continued, Now, with the potential of TNA getting better television, maybe it’s right to hold off until Bound for Glory. I’m going to stay positive about it for TNA, although I understand the disappointment.”
