BELLATOR ANNOUNCERS PAY TRIBUTE TO RANDY SAVAGE

Every week during Bellator Fighting Championships on MTV2, the play by play announcers has a live commercial read for TNA Impact complete with a graphic popping up on the screen which used to just feature Hulk Hogan but since the Network reveal now also features Foley.

On Saturday night, after this week's promo read including mentioning the name change, Angle vs RVD for the first time on Impact and Bischoff trying to destroy the X Division, the announcers paid tribute to the late Randy Savage.

Color man Jimmy Smith said: "I hope we see some flying elbows today in honor of Randy 'Macho Man' Savage. One of my favorites man. Rest in peace."

Play by play man Sean Wheelock followed up, saying: "Sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 58. His feud when I was a kid with George 'The Animal' Steele was one of the greatest in the history of pro wrestling,"
