MAJOR UPDATE REGARDING TONIGHT'S BFG SERIES MATCHES

Tonight on Impact Wrestling on Spike TV is “Must Win Thursday” in the BFG Series. Each year, the BFG Series pits 12 wrestlers in a series of matches with the top four moving on to the BFG Series Final Four at No Surrender (Sept 12th in St. Louis). Last year, the series was held under Round Robin rules with the eventual winner being Jeff Hardy.

In 2013, the BFG series shifted to bring more of the series to Spike TV and include the Joker’s Wild (Random Draw Tag Team Tournament), Hardcore Justice (Fourway Hardcore Matches) and the Fan Choice event (allowing you to pick the BFG card). The 2013 BFG Series has provided each talent the same amount of opportunities to earn the same amount of points. By the end of this week’s BFG Series matches (after this coming week’s Xplosion show), each wrestler was scheduled to have had seven one-on-one matches with one exception.

Magnus, due to an unforeseen issue, will not be appearing on tonight’s Impact Wrestling on Spike TV. Magnus currently has competed in 5 matches and was scheduled to face Kazarian on Xplosion this week and Jeff Hardy on Spike TV tonight. Due to the circumstances, TNA officials have met and made the following decision: Magnus will stand with his current total of 39 points. Jeff Hardy and Kazarian will face each other tonight on Impact Wrestling on Spike TV to make up their originally scheduled match with Magnus. Also the originally scheduled Kazarian vs. Hernandez match will move to Xplosion this week.
“Must Win Thursday“ tonight will now feature three matches with serious implications on the BFG Series Final Four scheduled for No Surrender in St. Louis; Austin Aries vs. Christopher Daniels, Jeff Hardy vs. Frankie Kazarian, and AJ Styles vs. Bobby Roode.

Tune in tonight at 9/8c for all this and the return of Hulk Hogan on Spike TV.

Looking forward to this Naw, just can't wait to hear the BS reason why AJ joined and Hulk rambling on, hopefully [MENTION=2074]Cwalker[/MENTION] will be here to join me for our weekly TNA lol discussion.

One thing TNA seems to do well is follow up terrible PPVs(shouldn't even be called a PPV but whatever) with a decent show so I'm expectin' something worthwhile here. Of course everything they do will probably get fucked up in the coming weeks anyways though. What needs to happen on this show though is AJ pretending last week didn't happen.

I do have an idea after I heard how badly TNA planned ahead for this BFG Series this year in which Hogan just says that pairing of E.G.O. has fucked up the standings and they just need to get it over with ASAP and get their challenger set for BFG in the coming weeks.

I can't wait to hear AJ's story regarding why he transformed back into the "old" AJ Styles. Other than that nothing really stands out. But considering it's TNA, I'll be there. Just for the lulz

 

[Andrew]

I'll watch this most likely.

 

[Crippler]

Garrett with dat promo Why did Wes feel the need to yell like that?

 

[Andrew]

Please don't tell me Devon will return in a week or two and face-turn again

 

[Crippler]

Already kicking Devon the curb for some cheap heat

DEVON TO WIN THE BFG SERIES, FACE TURN!

 

[Andrew]

Bully is so good on the mic.

 

[Andrew]

Daniels/Aries

 

[Crippler]

AJ/Roode

 

[Andrew]

I swear I only watch TNA for it's wrestling and not it's booking.

 

[Crippler]

Creatures mount up : who writes this?

 

[Crippler]

No interference allowed, so I guess we all know how these matches are gonna end.

 

[Crippler]

That actually wasn't half bad of a match, both guys wasn't as sloppy as i expected.

THE VOTE WORKS

 

[Cwalker]

I'm on my way home. What I miss?
