Anyone watch Bound For Glory?

Thoughts?

[x-tempus]

nothing amazing, couple of good matches - Aj's and Angle's matches - disappointing for a BFG though as it's meant to be the flagship ppv for the company.

iMPACT however was rather grand

[CrappyMike]

BFG was OK, not amazing. Might watch impact but I really havent been watching me rest long much at all, wwe or TNA. Will obviously watch hell in a cell though.

This looks decent, but it should've been a show about Jericho becoming an inventor.

I was disappointed with BFG overall.

Angle vs Roode aside there just wasn't anything that stood out as being on what should be their biggest card of the year.

I'm only one match into Hell In A Cell last night, but that tag match was easily one of the best WWE matches of the year. "Holy shit" chant was well deserved!

[Matty_the_Emo_Slayer]

That was a decent PPV all in all. Only thing I skipped was the Fandango tag match- was about to skip when I saw The Miz come out assuming he had a match, but glad I didn't or I would've missed Kane's return. Looking forward to seeing his feud with Wyatt get picked up again.

Ambrose vs Langston was a good hard-hitting match, especially good given it was a last minute thing. I was expecting Langston to win as the rumour was he was to beat Axel for the IC, and when that match couldn't happen they would put the other mid-card title on him instead. I'm glad they didn't and instead can build off this into a more interesting feud than Big E. had brewing with Axel anyway. I wouldn't mind at all if they have Ambrose drop his title to Big E. soon- it makes more sense than to take the IC belt off Axel as he still needs to hold on to it til he starts to break out a bit more.

The other tag match wasn't up to much. The Los Matadores gimmick is retarded, Primo and Epico are massively overrated as wrestlers and the Real Americans gimmick is losing its edge by the fact they've accidentally made it so that they get face pop. Both Swagger and Cesaro need to be put back into singles competition soon.

Divas tag match was very good. She's been improving for a while but Brie Bella has made huge strides in the past month. I definitely would like to see her with the belt now. AJ Lee has started to get on my nerves a little bit.

Wasn't feeling the Punk match, but it was a good ending to that feud. Time to get Punk involved in the Best For Business angle now.

World Championship match was a surprisingly good contest. I think they should've let Del Rio dominate more and for Cena to look like he was in more jeopardy, but it was still decent all the same. The finish pretty much confirms that Sandow won't cash in til next year, most likely after 'Mania.

Main event was perfect- everything that needed to be done was done. I was very impressed by Bryan's brawling skills too- definitely a future DVD bonus match for both men.

Looks like I was wrong! Great match to open up RAW last night- Sandow's best match yet and one of Cena's best matches ever too, but I don't like the idea of wasting Sandow's opportunity just to further push Cena. I guess we'll find out on Smackdown what they plan to do with Sandow now, hopefully he won't be buried. Also, Cena has a 7th move! That full-nelson lift into a neckbreaker was awesome.

I thought Hell In A Cell was pretty good as well.

Interesting happenings on Raw.

Maybe Survivor Series could have:

WWE Title: Big Show vs Randy Orton (c)
World Title: Alberto Del Rio vs John Cena (c)

Survivor Series Elimination Match:
Wyatt Family, Kane Ryabck* vs Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, Miz, Goldust and CM Punk

* Would prefer a mystery partner, doesn't appear at start of the match but after Miz, Harper and Rowan are eliminated, with Bray outside the ring leaving just Kane in there with 4 men the lights go out and BONG!

Undertaker returns leading Brothers Of Destruction to clean house a bit until the lights go out again and after another BONG! they come up to find Bray, Kane and The Undertaker all out cold and a raven flashes up on the titantron.

would be too awesome I'm afraid ... wouldn't want heel 'Taker though.

[CrappyMike]

Eric bischoff has been sent to work from home, reports at he'll be paid the rest of his contract but he's essentially done in TNA. Also, Jeff Jarrett is apparently regaining some power and influence backstage. 2 good bits of news IMO.

It really was fucking killer.

Kassius Ohno got future endeavoured yesterday. WWE's loss more than his in my book. He's of the calibre where he can headline any indie company in America, though hopefully he'll head back to ROH and get a world title push. As much as I've enjoyed Adam Cole as champ thus far I think ROH are lacking marquee names like Hero at the moment.

[Bearstock]

Unless behind the scenes attitude problems played a part it's a poor release.

Talks about Cessaro going face and breaking away from Real Americans would be easy as hell to have brought up Ohno either straight up KoW pairing or put him with Swagger and play off the history.

[MikeA]

While it is there loss and I like him, WWE has a loads of good workers on the main roster and in NXT so he wont be missed.
