Tommy Dreamer and Dave LaGreca sit down
Dreamer and LaGreca sat down to talk about the Bully Ray issue and how it’s been tough for LaGreca in dealing with Bully and Dreamer’s friendship.
Dreamer said they used to be brothers, and they don’t talk about it because they were called into the office and told not to air their grievances on the air.

Dreamer said they can’t mend fences and he doesn’t want Bully’s negativity. He’ll deal with it at work, but not elsewhere.
No Ropes Pit Right – Kenny King vs. Mike Bailey
This is going to be a fun match as both had Vaseline spread on their faces as they entered for Impact Wrestling’s first ever pit fight.
There are no pinfalls or disqualifications, only knockouts or submissions will end the match.
They circled each other early on as they looked for an opening, and King took Bailey down and got a couple of strikes in before they separated.
They traded kick attempts before Bailey took King down and King tried to lock him in guard.
