After a lot of talking from Mike Tenay who first promoted the Bound For Glory Series (what is the point in the Xplosion Championship chase thing or will it have ended). A Knockouts Tag Title match. The fact Mexican America are walking backstage. The fact Angle will have comments to air later on in the night and then the fact Sting is in the building, we reach our first match.
Mexican America's, Hernandez will be facing Devon in the first match of the night. Quite a short match which saw Devon come out with the victory via DQ when Mexican America attacked him. The Pope, D'Angelo Dinero came for the save again which seemingly was putting an Xplosion storyline and match that has already happened on IMPACT Wrestling. Great work TNA.
Mr. Anderson goes into the office of Eric Bischoff and Bischoff tells Anderson he is happy that Anderson is asking for some help from Eric. He then books Anderson against Gunner for tonights IMPACT Wrestling. Kurt Angle is shown walking backstage with his children before coming out to cut a promo. Angle says he is glad the Jarrett situation is over and then explains why he put the Olympic Gold Medal on the line which is basically because he is going to try and get into the 2012 Olympics in London. Jarrett comes out and claims the feud isn't over stating that he wants one more match against Angle. Angle accepts on the condition that Jarrett will move to Mexico without his kids. So the final battle at the PPV was more of a first final battle.
So the Bound for Glory Series is announced where there is a certain amount of guys that will be competing for 3 months until the Pay Per View to become the winner of the Series and go on to face the World Champion at Bound for Glory. The matches can take place anywhere (as long as it is TNA related shows), the victorys can come in any type of match. There is a point system in place. The series kicks off on this episode of IMPACT Wrestling with RVD vs Samoa Joe.
Eric Young has a backstage segment offering Matt Morgan a TV title shot as he is a TV star. Morgan tells young he knows someone from TV who would jump at the opportunity of a title shot, Eric getting a nice comment in saying "Was Vince Russo in Happy Days". As we come back the is the introduction of the Destination X 12 man tournament which features stars of the future and past of the X-Division all fighting for a contract.
Kid Kash is the first competitor who was a former X-Division star, Jimmy Rave is next and what a returning star that is due to leaving in 2009. Double A, Austin Aries is the final of the former stars to come out tonight and what a star he is, this match just sounds amazing already. Aries gets the victory in an epic battle. This is putting the X-Division back on the map right here. Aries and Kash certainly should be signed back up. Get rid of Rob Terry and Murphy for the two spots on the roster.
Before the next match the Knockouts Tag Title match gets started, the champs are already in the ring and the men of Mexican America get sent to the back. Velvet Sky and Miss. Tessmachaer then come out to face the champions. The match was ok, Rosita picked up the victory. Velvet Sky got distracted by ODB and then got attacked after the match by Jacqueline Moore/ Miss Jackie and ODB.
Jarrett is backstage just signing the contract for the match/brawl between him and Angle. Hogan is now in the office where Bischoff was earlier. Sting walks in after Jarrett has left is told that on IMPACT Wrestling, Sting is getting his rematch against Anderson. Sting has a pop at Hogan asking him why he is like he is right now. Hopefully down the line Hogan will be turning back face as heel Hulk Hogan doesn't work good. Sting seems very "Joker" like right now with his gimmick as he asked Hogan if he wants to wear a mask and puts the facepaint on Hogan and has a weird laugh.
Eric Young defend his TV Championship backstage against, Jason Hervey. Hervey currently works with TNA and is the pioneer of giving it the current backstage segments slightly. Jason Hervey is also a business partner of Eric Bischoff in Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment. We also had a little backstage segment before that where Jackie and ODB are claiming that they are cleaning up the Knockouts Division.
The next match is RVD Vs Samoa Joe in the BFG Series match. This was quite a good match and again a good way to open up this competition of the Bound for Glory Series. Hope it keeps up and Joe returns to his former glory in TNA, instead of RVD getting that push.
Gunner Vs Mr. Anderson was the final match before the Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett brawl in my opinion. Gunner picked up the victory in a good match. There is two things that are polar oppsite in this match. We have the fact, Gunner this new fresh face is getting a push into the main event scene surly as he has now pinned Sting (when he was champion) and current champion, Mr. Anderson; but then there is the point of your new champion in TNA looks weak due to him losing to Gunner.
Next week Bully Ray is facing Scott Steiner in the BFG Series, we get comments from them which were recorded earlier on and then when Jarrett is walking out to the parking lot there is Bully Ray cheering him on and a heap of the roster just there with cars parked into a circle of sorts. There was one problem with this brawl, a few of the faces that were in the little crowd are guys that are being used in next weeks IMPACT Wrestling. So TNA stupidly shouldn't have had them in this segment. Angle kind of beats up Jarrett and then walks away.
Was a good show, better than I expected it to be from reading the spoilers before hand something I rarely do with TNA.
