This news has caused Impact Wrestling to officially eliminate Dinero from the remainder of the 2012 BFG Series!   In this year’s format for the BFG Series, every wrestler was scheduled to face everyone in the tournament.   Dinero still had three matches left in the series vs. AJ Styles, Rob Van Dam and Robbie E!

ImpactWrestling.com has learned that Sting will be making a decision regarding this situation and those matches on Thursday’s Impact Wrestling Live on Spike TV at 8/7c.
