TNA Bound For Glory 2013 thread

We'll have to agree to disagree.

I thought the majority of the matches were just ok. Ultimate X was about 15 minutes short of what it should have been considering the individuals involved and Sting v. Magnus was about 15 minutes longer than what it should have been considering the individuals involved. It would've have been more effective to have Magnus just steamroll over Sting in a short match to build him up. The Knockouts match, another area TNA is genuinely well regarded in would have been best to find a way to have ODB 'taken out of action' early on the in contest and only able to sporadically involve her in the action as she really held down most of the match with her tired schtick. Everything felt like a tv special outside of Angle/Roode, which had a wonky ending. I'm not sure why they would have Angle decline his HOF induction on the ppv. That should have been part of the storyline build rather than part of 'ppv payoff'. Just strange booking.

If I didn't watch any WWE programming but tuned in for WM, it would feel like a big show. If I hadn't watched any WCW programming but tuned into Starrcade, it would feel like a big show. This didn't even feel as big as the last TNA show I watched, which was Slammiversary. They don't have the depth of roster and they don't seem to know how to use what they do have. It's like Dixie Carter has a wading pool and is trying to scuba dive because she thinks that is what you do.

They are now actively ripping off storylines their competition is currently doing. Gail Kim has a Samoan bodyguard, Dixie is doing what's right for business and deciding who the champ should be.

I just don't understand this company. Even small things, like having a unique entrance for Bound For Glory instead of a generic titantron set they can't do right.
