TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bully Ray has recently come under fire for using “homophobic” slurs towards a fan after last week’s IMPACT show in Chicago. Both Ray and TNA President Dixie Carter have gone to Twitter to comment on the matter…

Heard @realbully5150 made inappropriate comments to a fan in Chicago. This will not be tolerated. Sincere apologies on behalf of TNA.

After the main event of IMPACT, Ray was heading back to the locker room with the Aces and 8s, when he stopped to antagonize a few fans at ringside. He ultimately got into a fan’s face and began using “homophobic” slurs to draw heat from him. Another person was filming the scene, and has posted it to their YouTube account. You can hear Ray begin to be the opposite of “PC” around the 6:17 mark.
