Bully Ray also added another point about why the Mike Santana celebrations should have happened at Bound For Glory, as he stated how TNA doesn’t have any upcoming TV shows where Santana can celebrate with the fans.
“TNA, for the next couple of weeks, doesn’t have any fresh programming on tap. They’re going to be doing some ‘best of’ shows,” said Ray. “So it’s not like Mike Santana can come out there this Thursday on Impact, and we can have a party, and we can celebrate all of the partying and celebrating should have been done at Lowell at the end of Bound for Glory. You did not move anything along by doing the aftermath and the angle.”
He contrasted that with WWE and stated how a WWE star, like Cody Rhodes, who won at WrestleMania, had the opportunity to celebrate the following night on “WWE Raw.” Ray said that the fans in the arena at Bound for Glory were leaving the venue by the time Santana got to celebrate the title-winning moment with his daughter. TNA’s regular programming will return next month, with the promotion hosting shows at Full Sail University, the former home of “WWE NXT.”
