Bundy standoff
On March 27, 2014, 145,604 acres of federal land in Clark County were temporarily closed for the "capture, impound, and removal of trespass cattle." BLM officials and law enforcement rangers began a roundup of such livestock on April 5, and Cliven Bundy's son, Dave, was arrested. On April 12, 2014, a group of protesters, some of them armed, approached the BLM "cattle gather". Sheriff Doug Gillespie negotiated with Bundy and newly-confirmed BLM director Neil Kornze, who elected to release the cattle and de-escalate the situation. As of the end of 2015, Cliven Bundy continued to graze his cattle on federal land and still had not paid the grazing fees.
House of Hardcore
House of Hardcore IV was a professional wrestling event that took place in Poughkeepsie, New York on June 6, 2014. The original main event was Team 3D vs Tommy Dreamer & Abyss, but Bully Ray was pulled last minute by TNA. After a scathing promo, Abyss joined by Rhino turned on Dreamer setting up the new main event. The promo led to Dreamer/HOH being featured on Impact Wrestling through the summer. The show included special appearances by The Sandman and Spike Dudley. Appearing on the pre-show meet & greet was The Godfather, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch and Mindi O'Brien. This show also featured a surprise punishment of Brian "Q" Quinn for the show Impractical Jokers.
