TNA’s Bully Ray is so-o-o happy to be in the minor leagues.
After hearing #ChicagoRaw crowd tonight has helped me make an important career decision @IMPACTWRESTLING. Stay tuned.

That was in reaction to the fan response to CM Punk’s continued absence from WWE as evidenced by the live crowd in Chicago for this week’s Monday Night Raw.
Bully Ray, now a long ago former WWE and ecw mainstay, is obviously riffing off the crowd response.
At his best a tag team wrestler, Ray was abandoned by WWE when it basically abandoned its tag team division several years ago.
As in his ecw years, when his lack of in-ring talent was covered by expert booking by Paul Heyman, a master of making a lot of something out of a lot of nothing in his ECW days, Ray is still a lot of nothing getting a push now in TNA essentially because he’s around and he’s affordable.
But now he’s made an important career decision as a result of hearing the crowd at Raw this week.
An indy promoter would be hard-pressed to pay him $1,000 and hope that he could draw enough to get that back from having his name on the poster, so let’s go ahead and rule out a departure from TNA right off the top.
The career move is staying in TNA.
Memo to Bully Ray: WWE wasn’t calling anyway. But you’ve known that for a long, long time.
