Bound for Glory Discussion Thread

[AZUCAR!]

Interesting choice, considering the time difference. Be interesting to see how they pull this off. No doubt will be filled with a few Wrestle1 talents.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

They don't book their PPVs very well so I'm not actually upset about this. Maybe, they'll forgo their awful storylines and just have some cool international matches with Wrestle-1 stars... Well one can hope, can't they?

 

[Deezy]

I actually find this interesting, it will be a totally different audience and the last time they did Impact there, it was there best show in their history.

Logistical problems would be there though, like what time will this air? Will it be live? Pre-taped PPVs never sell, and trying to get a good live gate for a late show is tough as well, UFC can't even really do it.

^Agree with you on this one, at least it is something different which might tap into a different market.

Wonder what the odds of TNA still being around come the time of this show.

 

[Deezy]

What alternative does Spike have instead of TNA? Still gets a million viewers everyweek, no other show they have does that. I think Spike re-ups their deal, probably at a severely reduced rate, and I doubt it's going to make TNA profitable. But it's national television and should keep this company around for awhile longer.

I was partly joking. Also must people around here including you seem to think TNA will go under soon rather than later.

There is still good reasons why people like me think TNA willl go under.

Nothing they have done has inspired confidence that they would, all their top talent have left. they let their biggest active wrestler (Jeff Hardy) be a completely different character and for a long time it didn't look like Spike was going to pick them back up because it looked like Viacom was going to rebrand Spike completely.

This looks like a good move for TNA, but let's not pretend that this and running the Manhattan center isn't anything more than complete gambles. They should've done all this shit back in 07.

 

[Keith]

So we are basically agreeing...

 

[Deezy]

......Agreeing to a joke?

I guess.

 

[Dale]

NJPW is also having an iPPV in the same building that day apparently so the sheets are reckoning TNA is going to be on first.

 

[Chris]

Changed this to the official discussion thread, once matches are announced I'll edit the first post.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Should have Puroresu stars in the Bound For Glory series this year.

(1) Minoru Tanaka def. Manik

(2) Ethan Carter III def. Ryota Hama

(3) MVP def. Kazma Sakamota

(4) Samoa Joe def. Low Ki & Kaz Hayashi in a 3-way match. The match will likely be put over as a title match for the U.S. viewing audience, and it’s being said this was easily the match of the night.

(5) Jiro & Yusuke Kodama def. Andy Wu & El Hijo del Pantera.

(6) Team 3D def. Abyss & Tommy Dreamer. After the match, Team 3D brought a Bullet Club shirt into the ring, and threatened to put the entire group through tables. A strange segment, as Bullet Club is a massive New Japan faction, and one that has nothing to do with TNA or Wrestle-1. That said, Bully Ray did indicate that they’d be going after a new set of tag titles soon…

(7) Havok def. Velvet Sky. Again, this was likely be put over as a title match in the U.S. A lot of negative reports from this one.

(8) The Great Muta & Yoshihiro Tajiri def. James Storm & The Great Sanada. After the match, Manik came out and Storm’s group triple teamed the babyfaces, but Team 3D made the save and cleared house. The new Hall of Famers ended the night with a big “TNA” chant.

Yeah i'm not watching this i've also seen the pixs and

 

[Tapout]

And this is their wrestlemania? What a joke of a company...
