I will not have people speaking ill of Hogan's involvement. Hogan walking down to the ring and punching each Aces and Eights member one by one, in what seemed to be slow motion was glorious. I haven't seen Hogan in a while, so I marked. Still a hero.

Devon being revealed was fantastic. I'm so happy for Devon. He's no more Uncle Tom, he's his own man, who is hopefully the leader of the group. Done are the days where Devon has to go and get the table. Done are the days where Devon has to do the crappy lifting part of the 3D, while Bully gets to slam the opponenets head down to the mat. Done are the days where Devon lifts up the guy just so Bully can do a top rope powerbomb through the table. Devon is free!

Free at last, free at last
Haters go kiss Devon's black ass!

I'm definitely tuning in on Thursday. I enjoyed the PPV too much not to.

I'm very disappointed with how the BFG card has been built up as of late and how it has actually turned out and that's coming from a TNA fan. I'll explain why;

Tara vs. Tessmacher - Tessmacher sucks, it's the ex-partners turned enemies schtick which has been done to fucking death. I'm only interested to see Tara's boyfriend. If not for that, this match is not interesting whatsoever and will be an absolute snoozefest, which is a crime considering the talent that's in the KO division (Mickie, Gail, Tara, Sarita.)

Zema Ion vs. RVD - So RVD wasn't scheduled for a match so all of a sudden he can just demand an X-Division title shot and receive it? Okay then. Where has Zema Ion been and when was he last relevant? Destination X? One of the most irrelevant X-Division title reigns in a long time, topped off by one of the most irrelevant matches for the title ever topped off with one of the most irrelevant and least-entertaining challengers ever in RVD. I would have thought that the X-Division might have meant something seeing as every year the holder of the X-Division title can earn a World Tile shot. That should have been RVD's motivation, not because he isn't booked on the card and because he feels like it. X-Division is pointless and worthless at this point. RVD also has had only one good match in TNA, adn that was with Jerry Lynn, so I didn't expect any less. The guy is worthless.

Joey Ryan vs. Al Snow - The build up has been alright I guess. They've spent time building and developing Joey's character but it has been very forgettable. They've had 1 segment over the past month to build up the match? When I write down the card, it generally is the last match I remember simply because of how forgettable the feud is. Plus, Al Snow wasn't even good back in 99 when he was in his prime, so this match is probably going to be shite as well.

Angle/AJ vs. WTTCOTW vs. LAX 3.0 - When will they fucking learn that nobody gives a shit about an AJ and Daniels being in the same feud anymore? Plus, Chavo and Hernandez are horrible as a team. Yes it will be entertaining, but it's so mediocre it's crazy. They've just slung 6 men together who weren't really doing much, teamed them up and put them in a match. I couldn't give any less of a fuck about this match or the outcome, even if it will be entertaining to watch.

Joe vs. Magnus - What did Magnus do to earn the title shot? Ex friend storyline AGAIN. Joe only won the title two weeks ago and hasn't established himself as a credible champion yet and Magnus has been irrelevant in singles competition since... Forever. The match may be decent, I don't doubt that, but once again, the build is shocking and I couldn't care less who wins.

A+8S vs. Sting and Bully Ray - There best be a reveal at the PPV otherwise this storyline is going to fall flat on it's face. In essence, it's a ridiculous storyline anyway. I understand you have to suspend your belief when it comes o wrestling but - Why is the Aces and Eights leader speaking with a child's Darth Vader-esque voice changing mask on? It's not cool, he just sounds and looks like a bellend. How can they kidnap someone on LIVE television and the law/police not give a shit? Thats just the beginning, the amount of cracks in the storyline it's self are remarkable and it's hard for me to really sink my teeth in to. It will be a fun match in the sense that it will be a chaotic, overbooked clusterfuck... But still, I can't get in to it.

Storm vs. Roode - This match lost it's edge as soon as Storm took his sole focus off Roode and put it on the BFG series. All along, he should have fought to win the BFG Series to get his hands on Bobby Roode and as soon as Roode lost the title, Storm should have thrown the BFG Series to one side and should have put his whole, entire, undivided attention on Roode. But no, they had Storm take part in the illogical and tbqh, boring, Aces and Eights feud and once again took his focus off of Roode. I fully expect it to be MOTN, but damn this match could have, and should have, been built up and booked so much better. Oh yeah, and it's an ex-friend feud. Shock. See the pattern here? Three matches in ONE NIGHT, where it's an ex-friend/ex-partner turning on the other. Tbh it shouldn't be done more than once a year, never mind three times in one night, and chances are Angle or AJ will turn on each other to start a feud between them and Bully will probably turn on Sting.

Aries vs. Hardy - You take your hottest face, in Aries, and you turn him heel, just for the sole reason that you want to put an unreliable and completely unentertaining bore in Jeff Hardy in your Main Event for the reason that he sells t-shirts. Yes, that makes so much sense. the feud has nothing to it, if the match is going to be any good it's probably going to be an Aries carry job and at the end of the night, chances are the lesser-talented man will walk out the champion, thus leaving what was your hottest commodity within the depths or irrelevancy shadowed by his shockingly booked title reign. Yay.

If you didn't like the PPV tonight...just stop watching wrestling. I didn't want Hardy or Chavo and Hernandez to win but it doesn't change the fact that it was one hell of a show. These guys busted their ass tonight. We saw some epic stuff. Storm vs Roode was amazing, the triple threat tag team match was awesome, the main-event was crazy! Seriously, if you didn't like Bound For Glory just because your favorite wrestler didn't win...stop watching wrestling. Bound For Glory tonight was one hell of a PPV. Every single guy who took part of the show tonight deserve some major props. These guys gave their 110%.

So far Im happy with how the card looks and the predicted ones seem accurate which also look good.

Austin Aries vs Jeff Hardy (World Championship)-The Build up has been ok with this, but I feel the match will deliver so no issues here.

James Storm vs Bobby Roode (FCA)-The build up has been for almost a year so this will be good. The match will definitely be great.

A & 8's vs Team TNA-They've been building up this for months now and the reveal better be good. The only leaders I'll accept are Bischoff, Jarrett or Bully Ray. Maybe its someone I haven't thought of that I'd like, but at BFG I want the leader and the members to be revealed, plus the match should be decent.

Triple Threat Tag Title Match-The build up for this has been decent aswell, the match will 100% deliver, may not be like the match at Slammy, but it'll still be a great match I have no doubt.

Tara vs Tessmacher (Knockouts Title)-I dunno why people are shitting on this match. Its the most interesting match they could've done with the whole teacher vs student storyline. The match will last 6 minutes tops. It wont be a classic, but it wont ruin the whole PPV. Tessmahcer's already beat Rayne & Gail Kim, so IMO a match with Tara or Mickie James is what I wouldve accepted for BFG.

Joe vs Magnus (TV Title)-This will almost definitely happen judging from the TV build. The build up has been good with the storyline of the former partners turned enemies. The match will also be great aswell, so thats another plus for this PPV.

X Division Championship-I dunno whats up with this but BFG needs an X Div. Title match. Preferably I'd have either a 3 Way Dutt/King/Ion, Ion/Sorensen (If he's healthy) OR Ion/TJ Perkins. Either of those 3 I'd accept really, I just want a Title defense.

Joey Ryan vs Al Snow-This is most likely gonna happen, so it should. Its been building up for months now and deserves to end at BFG. The match will be decent and will be used to finally, officially give Joey Ryan a contract.

They may also add a match with RVD or Anderson, but they may add them in the Aces & Eights/TNA match I dunno. If those 8 matches are the card for BFG I reckon it could be one of the best in all honestly. Not one match will be a Dud, and even ones some may feel will be (A & 8's/TNA, Tara/Tessmahcer, Ryan/Snow), all those matches have a decent storyline with them so I have no problems anyway, and the ones without a major storyline (X Div Title, Joe/Magnus, 3 Way Tag), will all be great matches anyway.

I just want to say that I absolutely fucking hate this King Mo clown being added to Roode/Storm. This is the culmination of a year long, personal feud that did not require any intervention from anybody else. Complete garbage.

If they were insisting on him being in a match, put him in the tag titles match or some shit. Not this beauty of a bout, because we know he will have a part to play. Now I can't see Roode winning at all, even though a Storm win was always more likely anyhow.

They have almost ruined the match for me by introducing this idiot.

:lol @ TNA marks thinking this event will be successful. They've put an unmotivated spot monkey in their marquee matchup against one of their best talents for their best prize, and are making a 'redemption' storyline over him being an unreliable drug addict who needs the belt back to be absolved. Righteo. Then you have this inept Roode/Storm feud that had concluded in April and serves absolutely zero purpose to still be going on now. If TNA were serious with this 'feud' at all, they'd have kept the title on Roode to give an ultimate payoff, but didn't want Storm anywhere near the title, which is a wise decision.

The tag title match is a shitstorm waiting to happen, I mean wow, AJ and Daniels in another match together. KO match is going to be a piss break that will be easily forgotten. Joe/Magnus is a waste of time, RVD/Ion is a waste of time, Ryan/Snow is a joke to professional wrestling, and the Aces and Eights storyline is that painfully obvious that chimpanzees could have written the script. It really looks like the blurst of times for TNA.

Expecting a great PPV, that is 6th in the row this year,since Sacrifice. I have no doubt TNA will deliver, despite who wins the main event.

Potential MOTYC's are there, so I'm pumped for the show. And I'll fucking LOL when it's all said and done to those like sXe and similar who believe everything is too obvious about Aces and 8's and stuff like that about TNA.

Streaming the PPV tonight I dare someone to say I haven't been watching TNA since the days of Ken Shamrock vs SABU. Fuck all that bullshit man, these are tough times. If I had it like that? FUCK YEAH I WOULD SUPPORT THEM WITH SOME BUCKS. You guys must be from the UK or something LOL have no idea what gas prices are like in the good ole' U.S. let alone all the other bullshit going on with our economy. It's that bad for some/lot of us. Sadly, supporting TNA in a year where they have offered us some of their best stuff... I just can't. Even though this IS the night to show out and pay for BFG I do agree.
