It's Damn Real!

Anyone who ordered/watched the Against All Odds PPV would have known that during the course of the night prior to the Abyss/Foley 8-Card Stud match, a segment took place in which Bischoff spoke about and warned both contestants that if any "shenanigans" or "games" were played (like laying down or intentionally getting counted out, etc.) during the match, that Abyss would lose his mast the following week on iMPACT!. He went one step farther, in fact, and pulled out Foley's infamous barbed-wire wrapped baseball bat and told both that he didn't care who used it, so long as someone did – and that using the bat in the match was a requirement, otherwise again, Abyss would be unmasked.
Now, it's obvious that the bat was not in fact used in the match. Abyss reached a point where he picked it up, but he dropped it in not wanting to hurt his friend. Thumbtacks played the pivotal role of finishing the match when Abyss hit the Black Hole Slam on Foley into them, but the bat was never used.
So the question remains, does Bischoff make good on his threat to un-mask Abyss, and if so do you see him actually removing the mask (and in what sense), and if he does in fact remove it, where does the Abyss character go from here?
Personally, I feel he's about as weak a character as he's ever been at this point in his tenure in TNA, and is hardly the force of a big man he used to be. IMO, unmasking him won't do much but to drop him even farther down the proverbial pedestal.
