WWE/Impact Hall of Famer Bully Ray has shared the ring with plenty of big men, but the veteran has his choices for which surprised him the most.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Ray spoke about the powerhouses in wrestling and two that have stood out as of late. He said,
“The two big men that have impressed me the most probably in the past couple of years are Moose and Ivar. Ivar is really showing… that typical burly, big man, old school, barrel-chested, 300-pounder that … that look, stocky look. His singles career has really flourished. He’s probably doing more as a singles wrestler right now on ‘Raw’ than The Viking Raiders had done together in a while. Ivar has really impressed me.
“Moose looks like an athlete. Two totally different body types [comparing Ivar and Moose.] When I first came back to Impact and I was doing something with Moose, I talk very little about things that are going to go out there [in the ring]. I like very spontaneous stuff. But I was enquiring about a certain move with Moose. And Moose said, ‘Why don’t I just jump straight in the air and do a split and you can catch me in a powerbomb.’ And I said, ‘What? You can do that?’ He answered me like stoic, ‘Of course I can do that.’”
Ivar is embarking on a singles career right now as his partner Erik is out with an injury. Moose will challenge for the TNA World Championship at Hard to Kill this week.
