Bully Ray was in a bit of a pickle when his temporary partner was pulled for the upcoming tag team bout against Scott D’Amore and PCO at Slammiversary on July 15. Impact announced that Steve Maclin suffered an injury, so Bully was on his own to find a replacement.
It didn’t sounds like Bully was busted up about losing Maclin.
Not shocked about Maclin. I always thought he was a bit SAWFT. Def. the weak link of the team.

Found the right partner though. No brainer. Should’ve went with him from the start.@IMPACTWRESTLING @BustedOpenRadio https://t.co/FTveGRfGaD
Bully revealed his choice on the Busted Open radio show. Deaner is stepping in to fill Maclin’s spot. Deaner has deep hatred for D’Amore and personally requested the match from Bully. Deaner stated, “Scott D’Amore is an over-rated POS in the ring – and I can prove it and it would make me so, so, so happy to do it in his hometown, in front of his friends and family. I’m going to kick the shit out of (D’Amore) at Slammiversary.”
I have NEVER publicly stated my legitimate reasons for hating @ScottDAmore. For many reasons.

That ended TODAY on @BustedOpenRadio with @bullyray5150
Every word I said was 100% a shoot.
Over 2 decades of hatred will come out at #Slammiversary
THANK YOU Bully@IMPACTWRESTLING
So, the match is official? Not so fast. Impact also announced that PCO is questionable for the contest after Bully and Maclin lit him on fire last week.
BREAKING: @bullyray5150 will team with @CodyDeaner at #Slammiversary THIS SATURDAY LIVE on PPV while @ScottDAmore's partner is now in question after @PCOisNotHuman was set on fire on IMPACT.
