Bully Ray booked for PPV matches in NWA and Impact

Bully Ray is a man in demand. When Bully comes knocking, the NWA and Impact answer. The Hall of Famer has two PPV matches over the next two weeks.

First up is an exhibition bout at the NWA 312 PPV in Chicago on Friday, April 7. Bully will compete against Thom Latimer.

Frankly, the booking of this match as a PPV attraction stinks. There is no heated story. Latimer’s NWA World Television Championship is not on the line. Bully and Latimer are actually somewhat cordial to each other with Kamille as the common link. Bully trained Kamille to be a wrestler, and Kamille is married to Latimer.

It is more interesting to note the absence of Matt Cardona from the card. He was last seen engaged in a bitter rivalry with Bully.

The NWA 312 PPV lineup currently includes:

• NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship: Tyrus (c) vs. Chris Adonis
• NWA Women’s World Championship: Kamille (c) vs. La Rosa Negra
• NWA National Heavyweight Championship: Cyon (c) vs. EC3
• NWA World Tag Team Championship: Bestia 666 & Mecha Wolf (c) vs. Dak Draper & Big Strong Mims
• NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship: Kerry Morton (c) vs. Joe Alonzo
• NWA Women’s Television Championship: Kenzie Paige vs. Max The Impaler
• NWA World Women’s Tag Team Championship: Madi Wrenkowski & Missa Kate (c) vs. Ella Envy & Roxy
• Bully Ray vs. Thom Latimer
• Bob Luce Memorial Battle Royale: Homicide, Thrillbilly Silas Mason, Rhett Titus, Jordan Clearwater, Odinson, Mercurio, Magic Jake Dumas, Brady Pierce, Rolando Freeman, Rush Freeman, Alex Taylor, Fodder, Jay Bradley, Wrecking Ball Legursky, Jeremiah Plunkett, PJ Hawx, Hale Collins, Vik Dalishus, Matt Vine, Eric Jackson (winner earns title shot for NWA National Heavyweight Championship)
• NWA United States Tag Team Championship: AJ Cazana & Anthony Andrews (c) vs. Jax Dane & Blake Troop (pre-show)
• Mask vs. Hair strap match: Gaagz The Gymp vs. Sal The Pal (pre-show)
• Trevor Murdoch & Mike Knox vs. Daisy Kill & Talos (pre-show)

NWA 312 will be available for viewing through Fite TV.

Bully’s PPV date with Impact is Sunday, April 16 in Toronto for Rebellion. His feud against Tommy Dreamer is kicking it up a notch for Hardcore War. The Busted Open match at Sacrifice settled nothing, but it did make Dreamer lean into his Innovator of Violence persona. The concept dictates that Bully and Dreamer pick up recruits for a violent team fight.

The Rebellion card currently includes:

• Impact World Championship: Steve Maclin vs. Kushida
• Knockouts Championship: Jordynne Grace vs. Deonna Purrazzo vs. Mickie James (if healthy)
• Hardcore War: Team Bully vs. Team Dreamer

Rebellion will be available for viewing through Fite TV.
