IMPACT TV report for 06/06/2013

Impact begins with Bully Ray walking to the ring to brag about beating all of TNA’s heroes.  Bully Ray defeated Sting at this past Sunday’s Slammiversary to retain the World Title.

Bully calls out Dixie Carter and demands to be inducted into the TNA Hall Of Fame. Hogan comes out instead, and Bully calls him “dad.” Hogan calls Bully a “son of a B” and reminds him that the Bound for Glory series is coming up. I really think he should have just said “bitch” and let them beep it. Censoring yourself always sounds lame to me. I also don’t get why Hogan thinks Bully should be worried about the BFG series, the winner won’t be crowned until October. What a silly son of a … “B”.

Hogan gets a couple cheap pops out of the Atlanta Georgia crowd before announcing the big news: Bully Ray will face Jeff Hardy tonight in a ladder match with a hammer hanging above the ring. Whoever gets the hammer first can use it.

When we return, Mickie James is apologizing for standing and watching last week as Velvet Sky got attacked by Gail Kim. Mickie seems a little insincere to me, and I don’t think Velvet is buying it either, but she does accept the apology. Velvet also says she is healthy and wants that rematch.  Mickie says she’d love to, but she already has a match tonight.

A video tribute to the legendary Kurt Angle is shown in honor of his Hall of Fame induction.

Bully Ray and Ken Anderson are in the back talking. They laugh at D Lo and Ken lobbies for the VP job. Bully Ray changes the subject to his match tonight and Anderson asks if he’s going to want any help out there.
