TNA has never been able to pull off a good Bound for Glory.

Always hyped...never delivers. This one sounded no different.

The BFG show was incredible live. Every match had that big time feel to it. Samoa Joe was the clear cut favorite tonight. The fan reactions last night was amazing. I believe there were at least 4,500 to 5,000 people there. It was pretty full and very exciting.

The Abyss vs. Mick Foley match was favorite hands down. The AJ Styles vs. Sting match was full of drama and had the perfect ending.

Matt Morgan was hated by the fans but he earned their respect. The X Divison match was the perfect way to start things off. Also Hernandez really got a big pop from the crowd last night as well. The Motor City Machine Guns were the perfect way to kickoff a pre-show.

From where I was sitting, you could see Rob Van Dam talking to Dixie Carter. A few fans started chanting and he did his little thumb pose. It was an awesome show from top to bottom.

Based off all the reviews ive read, everyone thought it was a excellent show.

Steiner doesnt wanna be there if Jarretts not there cause they're BFFL. Steiner has said in a bunch of interviews that hes financially secure and has been for a few years now so retiring wont be a problem for him. Steiners future really depends on what happens to Jarrett, i dont think he would go to WWE because him and HHH dont get along and HHH pretty much runs shit.

Rumors have been circulating this month that Booker's not happy in TNA and that he would go back to WWE. He refused to lose to Morgan 45 mins before showtime. So more than likely hes leaving.

i thought Jarrett was one of the pioneers of TNA? forgive me if im wrong cuz its been a while since i payed attention to wrestling as hard as i used to kinda fell on the map

The start of Raw was pretty funny. lol @ HHH "If your going to sleep your way to the top, at least do it with someone that weighs less than you"....Shawn "You would know all about that".

Yea it hasn't been too bad so far. I'm excited to see this whole DeBiase/Orton feud starting now. Bout time for some new talent to get a chance even if DeBiase isn't all that great.

And this WILL be Cena's last night on Raw (least for a few months lol), I'm pretty sure of that.

[krulmichael]

Hmm, I still think Orton's gonna win this Sunday....but I do see DiBiase interfering and trying to get Orton to lose...or I dunno. I just don't want Cena to win is all I know.

[BazookaJoe5]

The crowd popped louder than I've heard them pop in MONTHS when DiBiase pushed Orton. They do indeed have a new babyface star whenever they go through with turning DiBiase.

[krulmichael]

lol...surprised Vince allowed the whole smoking skit by Snoop Dogg with the G rated crap now. Lol Scented candles.

Sidenizzle - I find it weird that the Trips/Cena match is coming up at the midway point of the show and not the end...hmmm...

[FedEx227]

They've always done that. Turn on ESPN, look at the time remaining on the game.

Well excuse me lol. But yea, you got a good point. Good business right there. Don't think they've always done that though...I mean some real big things have happened at the end of a RAW during MNF over the past few years alone.

[FedEx227]

Yeah, but that's when they knew they would have viewers. Now they are in desperate grab new viewers mode. They've had big matches at the 10 EST hour for a few years now. They even did it sometimes during the Monday Night Wars.

Plus the numbers bear out a huge increase in ratings during halftime of MNF, so they are trying to grab new viewers by having 2 stars. A Santino vs. Mark Henry match doesn't exactly grab new viewers.

There will still be something big at the end, but the middle is usually the 2nd main event or whatever.

Also, I didn't mean to be demeaning or anything in my post, sorry if I came off that way. Hugz?

Uh-oh. Cena loses. That doesn't bode well for Orton sunday. They rarely have guys like Cena lose twice in a row anymore. Typically if you lose the show before the PPV, you typically win. Yay another hotshot title change!

Santino always gets my attention lol.

Great match haunted by commercials, surprised Cena lost honestly.

[BazookaJoe5]

Yeah, that was a surprisingly good match.

[krulmichael]

Yeah, that was a surprisingly good match.

Well that just says that it IS indeed Cena's last appearance on RAW for awhile.

[FedEx227]

I wonder if they would really do that, though. I'm actually legit interested in Bragging Rights because I really wonder if they would take him off Raw. I really doubt it.
