- Bully Ray is not in the title tournament because the company is trying to distance themselves from the booking of the old regime and the Aces and 8s angle was an Eric Bischoff creation. Bully Ray will feud with Ken Anderson going forward.

sounds like crap to me, i don't care if it is a Bischoff creature, Ray constantly works hard if not harder than everyone in the locker-room, and manages to properly maintain his heat well. Fuck Sabin being in the Tourney. Ray should have been in it, even if they just had Anderson ruin him in his first match, leading into that feud.

My two cents! dammit!

I don't buy this really. I think he's out of it because he's been in it for the past year and it needs to have some fresh faces in. He'll eventually be back in the title picture once they do kill off Aces and Eights.
