I'm looking to watch my first Pay-Per-View since going to GAB, and this time I'm excited! This will be my first non-WWE PPV, and TNA has my viewership. The matches that are signed so far are... "NWA World Heavyweight Title Match Jeff Jarrett vs. Kevin Nash Special Guest Referee Tito Ortiz" : I know this is not a main event people want to see, but for me I'm looking to see Nash and Jarret go at it. "X Division Championship Ironman Match AJ Styles Vs. Christopher Daniels" : Now this will be a cool match to watch, I've seen both men in the last two iMPACT airings, but to see them against each other will be a great match. "The Ultimate X Returns Matt Bentley Vs. Chris Sabin Vs. Petey Williams Winner Becomes The X Division #1 Contender" : This looks like a sweet match, I'm rooting on Bentley in this match, should be a cool showdown. "Monster's Ball 2 Abyss With James Mitchell Vs. Jeff Hardy Vs. Rhino Vs. Sabu" : Four Way of Mayhem, this will be a interesting match to watch. "International Showdown Samoa Joe Vs. Jushin "Thunder" Liger" : Not sure about Samoa Joe, but he looks tough, and Liger is one helluva wrestler, should be a great match. Like in other posts, these last two weeks have been fun watching something new, and now to watch a pay-per-view other then the WWE will be great!

Jarrett vs Nash holds no appeal for me, and Tito Ortiz only turns me off further. No thanks.
Styles vs Daniels should be great. I found out Daniels was responsible for me not liking the three-way match, because he likes contrived three-way spots. I hate those.
Ultimate X...GAWD I hope Petey wins, but I don't hate anyone here, so I'll be okay with the result.
Monster's Ball will only be satisfactory for me if the real Monster actually wins.
I wish they'd actually put Joe on TV and not just in a video...FWIW, I hear Lyger's pretty much broken down these days, so don't get your hopes TOO high.
I doubt I order this unless by some miracle a couple of people wanna split the cost.

Yeah Liger is a shell of his former self but Joe is just plain awesome. He is coming out of the biggest match of his carrer which he lost to Koboshi in ROH but he is just sick. Liger will probably put Joe over but im still looking forward to a Samoa Joe squash of a Japanese icon.

I'm not only excited for tomorrow nights iMPACT, and the 22nd's iMPACT and then Bound for Glory on the 23rd. I just got my cable box, which is digital, and thats cool... but, now I know I'll be ordering the TNA PPV's. It will be a long week, six days of work starting with Monday... but when Sunday comes TNA will be watched.

those who watched Impact tonight know they have updated the card adding a tag title match, between the Naturals and AMW, when given more than 10 min these teams put on a great match, so the PPV gets a little stronger, though i'm disappointed by the lack of Raven on the card.

I thought that it was going to be AMW vs. The Naturals vs. Team 3D. Did that change? Oh well, we will see that next week.

though i'm disappointed by the lack of Raven on the card. I think Raven will make some sort of appearance to shake things up. Hopefully he cuts a promo on Nash and Jarrett, tells them they both suck, and beats the crap out of both of them, taking the NWA Title back in the process. I'm pumped for this PPV as well. I bought Victory Road last year and thought it was pretty good (I thought I'd do my part to help wrestling as a whole by contributing to the growth of a different fed than WWE). I'm most excited for Liger-Joe and Styles-Daniels. I think I'll play a couple of COTG cards to get even more psyched up.

Just about 3 hours togo for TNA's Bound for Glory, this is the Grand Daddy for TNA. MY VIEW is clear to the point on TNA, I really like TNA from TOP to BOTTOM. It's a shame that Nash won't be involved in the Main Event, his health is more important at this time then the match. I know TNA will give us a great Main Event, infact we may see a suprise opponent and it's not Raven. Who could it be, well I have no clue but it still will be a great night. TNA RULES!

What a night, I loved BFG! Two out Nine matches had some major probems with the endings... but the rest kicked a**! I thought the ending was great! (Spoilers...) RHINO! RHINO! RHINO! wins the NWA World Title and now he will be either facing both Jarrett and Raven or just one of the two on their own. I was not huge on Rhino, but after Monsters Ball 2 and the Gauntlet and the Championship Match, he's cool! Team 3D showing up was great too! I give this PPV a B+, and it was for sure better then GAB and the last several weeks of both RAW and SD. TNA RULES!

It sounded like a great ppv. It seemed to really be Rhino's night. This should make for an interesting ppv next month too. I hope that it is a 3 way for the title. TNA doesn't often do 3 or 4 way matches that don't have some other gimmick involved. Also the tag scene should get even more heated in the next month with Team 3D and AMW and hopefully the Naturals are not forgotten as well. Joe should be set to start moving up the rankings and AJ wiill be facing Petey Williams very soon. The only other guy that really deserves to be moved up the roster is Abyss. He is big, strong and mean looking. He has what it takes. I believe he is and integral part of what TNA needs to achieve greatness.

Rhino? When does Rosie get a Title shot?

I give it a 7. It was pretty good. All the wrestlers put a lot of effort into putting on a great show.
Joe-Liger ended way too quickly. Joe is major over and for a moment, I thought he'd win the title shot.
The Jarrett “Screw You” promo was pretty funny.
Monty Brown is disturbing. He just creeps me out for some strange reason. His match with Hoyt was nothing special.
Ultimate X left me a little disappointed. I wonder if the X falling down for the second time was a work or an accident?
The tag title match was really good.
If Hardy would've flubbed that crazy dive, I seriously think he might be dead right now. That was nuts. Monster's Ball delivered for sure.
Styles-Daniels was good, but it got boring after Styles made his 374th kickout. Clever way to end the match. Styles is simply amazing. He's just exciting to watch. No need for the fake crying afterward though.
The way the NWA Title situation played out was absolutely stupid. First of all, they should've announced that Raven was going to challenge Jarrett during the pre-show altercation between Raven & Zbyszko. That might have convinced a few borderline fans to give in and buy the PPV.
Then, they drag out 9 guys (+ Kip James) who we've already seen to determine the challenger to Jarrett. The only good part of this was that I didn’t know who would win. But everybody was blown up and this sucked in terms of quality.
It only got worse from there. A blown up Rhino beats a fresh Jarrett in about 5 minutes, after taking a guitar shot. Yeah, that was believable. I’m a huge Rhino fan but didn’t want to see him win the title like this. Then, the casket! Gee, great way to remind the fans that this ISN’T a WWE (Undertaker) PPV! Oh no, they couldn’t just let Rhino celebrate his win. Hey, let’s toss a pier-six brawl in there! Yeah, let’s have 15 guys in there going at it right after we just had a battle royal.
Team 3D should’ve helped Rhino win the match when AMW started to interfere. That would’ve made much more sense.
But they really blew it by shutting Raven out completely. Raven should’ve won the title in the end.But, the good outweighed the bad.

I am thinking that Raven will be back in the title picture very soon. Maybe even by the next ppv. I think that Raven vs. Rhino for the NWA title would be great. Especially if they got a little Extreme if you know what I mean. I am sure you do. So anyways, lets get both these guys in LOW.

Gotta go with Big Bri...a Raven v Jarrett announcement MIGHT have sold me on the PPV.

Once again TNA delivers and has the best pay-per-views ever! I have seen almost all of their PPV's (missed a couple) and they have delivered every single time. I think the show was great from top to bottom. Favourite matches of the night would be The Monster Ball, The X division match and The Iron Man Match.
I will agree that the Samoa Joe/Liger match was too quick it should have been a little longer. But enough of the nit pick. This show was amazing and worth every penny! I cannot wait for this to make its way out on DVD!

I think the thing that shocks me is this...
I think Rhyno's win means that they were going to put the belt on Nash for a transitional champ...Rhyno now fills that spot.
But Nash? Nash has hadd consistant injury and no-show problems through the years. That just shocks me.
The other possibility is that Nash was just going to be fed to Jarrett...but why change the booking away from that at the last minute? Almost anyone in the back could have been fed to Jarrett.
Also, if this isn't only a transitional champion, why not give it to a more homegrown talent like Brown Daniels, or Styles?
Later

I don't know Graymar. I think it was one of those things like when Shawn Michaels forfeited the title to Shane Douglas in 95, but they had an impromptu match with Razor Ramon winning the IC title.
I think it's one of those things that they wanted people to go home "happy" since the advertised match didn't take place.
I could be wrong though, but that was my thinking....
I would have went for BG James.....Just kidding!!!!

To Trav...but also to anyone else who wnts to try...
What woudl you have done last night? Here are some starting points...
Another Fake Diesel: Someone is disguised as Nash...AMW and Jarrett attack him in a badly lit area...JJ then comes out and says he has taken care of Nash.
Raven: Raven was in the ring earlier and announced to Zybisko that he was ready to beat JJ.
Possible opponants for JJ: Ron Kilings DDP Raven Abyss Rhyno Christopher Daniels AJ Styles Samoa Joe Jeff Hardy Monte Brown Konnan BG James (for you trav) Kip James A-1 Sabu Sonny Siaki Gran Apolo
What's you thoughts?
Graymar
P.S. Remember that you have less than 24 hours to make a desicion...so you can't bring in Scott Hall, Sting, or anyone not in the general area and in 'fighting condition'.

I think that would have been funny...attack the fake Nash and have them come to the ring. Seeing how over he is though, they could have had Samoa Joe run in and destroy him. First time I see him and he is really over. Or they could have flown AdamSmasher in on short notice...
