Several days ago we reported that former IMPACT World Champion Austin Aries, who infamously no sold Johnny Impact‘s finisher at Bound For Glory and departed the company afterwards, had been arguing with current IMPACT star Sami Callihan on Twitter. Well, the beef isn’t over, and the two have been trading barbs back and forth ever since. In his original retort, Callihan accused Aries of “taking his ball and going home”, while referring to him by his real first name, Dan. Aries replied shortly after. And thus the arguments continued into the weekend.
Holy shit, did you really do the “real name” tweet like a fucking mark?!
And if your ball is ever worth what my ball is worth, get back to me about how, where and for who you play with it. Until then, careful what stones you throw, Solomon Crowe. https://t.co/spIic8n7SD

I’m pretty sure my “ball” has been shooting game winners for years Dan.
It’s not like I’m contracted to 3 major United States wrestling programs or anything. Oh wait I am…. @IMPACTWRESTLING @MLW @LuchaElRey.
Where are you and your “ball” working right now?
Nowhere. https://t.co/SaZDxFCSX0

Congrats working places I’ve turned down deals from recently. Oh, @davemeltzerWON didn’t report that?
Not doing a back and forth here. I really do have better things to do. So keep being a good grunt boy for them “promoters” and I’ll Iook for you on TV. What major channel again? https://t.co/1uAx0BeLHo

The “take your ball and go home” think is fascinating.
I mean it is MY fucking ball, I’ve worked hard to OWN MY BALL and EARNED THE RIGHT to take it away from places and people that don’t PLAY THE RIGHT WAY. Pretty simple. If you don’t get that, you likely don’t own your balls.

Hahahaha.
I was a young kid busting my ass for an opportunity.
You were a “locker room leader” and could have helped a rookie out. Instead you did EVERTHING in your power to bury me.
You were an asshole then, and your an asshole now…DAN. #BananaManDan https://t.co/6iGqWyMFhx

Some are speculating it’s all a work and that this feud couldn’t ultimately lead to a match at IMPACT’s United We Stand Twitch special over WrestleMania weekend, while others seem convinced it’s a real life feud based on Aries and Callihan’s real interactions over the years. We’ll just have to wait and see how this all plays out!
