TNA Bound For Glory - Review/Comments

by Phil Allely

Full Metal Mayhem for the TNA & IWGP Tag Titles: this match was certainly a decent enough brawl for both sets of gold. Interesting to see that TNA have rightly swapped the IWGP straps back to Team 3D, New japan will be pleased at that, the duo of Devon and Ray will certainly shift more tickets in Japan that the British Invasion pairing.
It is worth noting that The Brits are now sporting the TNA belts and will remain high on the card defending them.

In my opinion the team of Sarita and Taylor Wilde are the best female tandem in the US. Their match with the Beautiful People proved that.

I was a bit surprised to see Eric Young snatch the Legends Title form Kevin Nash, although with big Kev's knee issues etc I'd hope he steps out of the ring soon and moves into a managerial role. Hernandez is impressive, but perhaps not single title worthy yet.

Ultimate X was as always scary, exciting and innovative, amazing Red rightly retained his belt, but TNA need to watch the welfare of the X Division roster members, too many are getting injured in this style of match.

Kurt Angle and Matt Morgan are a very decent pairing when it comes to sigles matches, I do worry about Morgans lack of charisma and Kurt's failing body.

lashley and Samoa Joe was an odd bout, pity poor Joe the once unbeatable submission machine was wiped out by a not-over at all lashley in a match that progressed his career none at all.

The Monsters ball match between Mick Foley and Abyss was certainly action packed, although I'm not sure I have any excitement levels lefft for Foley or Abyss in weapons bouts, its as if the blood means nothing these days. daffney took anasty bump and received a broken arm I hear.

Aj Styles and Sting as impressive, the fact that Sting laid down for AJ shows he is a true pro, I do hope the great man hangs on in for a while more.

BFG gets a 7 out of 10 from me.
