[Superark]

I don't care for Aj's new theme. Get ready to fly is much better

 

[Benstamania]

Raw spoiler...

Spoiler

John Cena announced that his match with Del Rio will be a Last Man Standing match... Someone hide the duct tape!

 

[Superark]

That ending to Styles/Daniels was just horrible. Why would you book a finish like that on your biggest show of the year and why do that in Philly of all places?

I'd swear Hogan booked the end of that just to screw Aj and Daniels

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yea I doubt he'd ever do anything with pro wrestling. He's simply taking pro wrestling as an influence and using it to hype fights. The guy has an incredible ability to draw an ire from the MMA fanbase. People either loe him or hate him. He is the talk of the MMA world.

He's very smart and is very quick-witted and can speak off the cusp. Wrestlers could take a note or two from Chael Sonnen when is comes to cutting promos.

He's 30 now right? if he loses the fight with Silva he says he'll leave the UFC? I mean that's a very pro wrestling thing. If he did lose do you see him looking for MMA work elsewhere? I mean he's trashed all the other companies in his interview.

How much of what he was saying was him just pushing buttons, and how much was real as ragards to his comments regarding Silva's 22-0 in Japan?

 

[TX85]

Hogan vs Sting is next,History will indeed be made..As a beyond worse match than Hogan vs Warrior in WCW!!!

 

[Wheels]

My BFG break begins. Tell me when the match is over guys.

He's 34. He'd never actually leave the UFC. He's just hyping the fight. Chael actually said Lance Armostrong gave himself cancer and when Jim Rome confronted him about it in an interview, chael said he never said that. Rome then played an audio clip of Chael saying the Armstrong insult and Chael response..."That guys sounds mexican."

Chael is the master BSer and hypster.

The Silva thing was about Wanderlia Silva, not Anderson, and it was a reference to the fights in Japan being fixed. I actually think Chael believes that.

Hogan vs Sting is next,History will indeed be made..As a beyond worse match than Hogan vs Warrior in WCW!!!

My BFG break begins. Tell me when the match is over guys.

The match wasn't Hogan/Warrior bad, but it was ummm yeah....at least the crowd was into it.

 

[BlackLantern]

the fact that the fans even endorse that kind of match is abhorrent.....the same fans that want change change change now now now will happily kiss the tanned ass of one Hulk Hogan for "one more match"

when will it be enough for you jackals??? WHEN???

 

[Wheels]

What the hell was that? ****!!!

 

[TX85]

So Angle pins Roode to retain the title..Even though Roode's arm was under the bottom rope..and only the commentators acknowledged it???

F'n BS!

 

[Superark]

WOW TNA just gave their paying audience and all their fans a big FU!!!

What the hell is wrong with this company?! That is just BS to have Roode lose, especially considering Hogan just buried him the other day, and Angle legitimately got hurt.

That's right TNA, do a perfect job of building Roose and then drop the ball AGAIN!!

Yeah and how much dumber do they look keeping the belt ona guy who cannot even stay healthy and is constantly getting in legal trouble, and I say that as a huge Angle fan!

STUPID STUPID STUPID! Killed your goodwill with the fans and this is like WCW reborn

 

[DBryan]

Angle is a legend.

Gonna be pretty hard to compete in the Olympics with all those injuries though.

**** **** **** **** **** ****!!!

Now he has said it wont he have to put it in his contract? I'm guessing that interview is 4 years old I watched last night. How come I'm only hearing the hype on him now? The guy sounds like he simply says whatever will get him a reaction, perfect for a pro wrestling heel.

The Silva thing was about Wanderlia Silva, not Anderson, and it was a reference to the fights in Japan being fixed. I actually think Chael believes that.

Ah I see, he dislikes both though right? Do you reckon he's right about the fights being fixed over there?

 

[venom892]

Do you guys expect good decisions from TNA at this point?I'm not surprised.

 

[Eric Draven]

About Chael Sonnen potentially leaving the UFC if he loses to Anderson Silva. Yeah, he might leave the UFC. But he could always go to the Zuffa-owned Strikeforce for a bit. Yeah, it's kind of like a situation when a wrestler from Raw loses a "loser must leave Raw" match and shows up on Smackdown the very next week

 

[Hunter Rider]

So Angle pins Roode to retain the title..Even though Roode's arm was under the bottom rope..and only the commentators acknowledged it???

F'n BS!

BFG is supposed to be their WrestleMania, only once has WWE pulled a screwy finish at Mania and even then the fans went home happy, terrible booking call from TNA.

 

[Superark]

Tbe honest, I might give myself a break from wrestling for awhile. WWE has killed any interest I have in their company the past few weeks and TNA I feel like just gave me the middle finger after tonight while they gleefully make the same bonehead decisions that keep their company from growing past a 1.0

Jason Powell of www.Prowrestling.net put it perfectly

Powell's POV: Wait, you mean Dixie Carter isn't running out to restart the match? That's it? Angle retained on the biggest TNA show of the year by holding onto the bottom rope while Roode had has arm under the bottom rope? The biggest TNA show of the year ends with a screwy finish? Damn. They just don't get it.

Honestly, I could live with that finish if this were just about any other TNA pay-per-view event if the idea is to keep the chase going. You just don't do that on your biggest show. Granted, it wasn't as screwy as some of their finishes, but if you want to establish Bound For Glory as a major event, then you need to deliver clean and decisive finishes in major matches like this one. Sadly, I think the folks who write the show are more concerned with patting themselves on the back for convincing the fans that they were going to see a title change. Way to send the crowd home unhappy.

Overall, this show did not live up to expectations. It didn't grossly underperform, but there were just too many matches that didn't deliver, and the main event finish definitely didn't help matters. I never thought I'd write this, but if that's the finish they had planned for the main event, then they really should have gone with the Hogan vs. Sting fight last.

No he doesn't have toput that in a contract. tHE UFC doesn't work that way. Dana White just laughed about the whole thing and saw $ signs.

well fights were definitely fixed over there and steroid use was rampant but nothing has come out about Silva's fights being fixed but you never know.

Do you guys expect good decisions from TNA at this point?I'm not surprised.

I should have known better

BFG is supposed to be their WrestleMania, only once has WWE pulled a screwy finish at Mania and even then the fans went home happy, terrible booking call from TNA.

yup

you should watch more sonnen dude is a comedic genius

 

[Superark]

God I love Chael!

After tonight's BS from TNA, I might have to get my pro wrestling fix from Sonnen for the forseeable future

 

[Metallo]

I had a feeling Angle would retain somehow. They were just playing up the idea that Roode was going to win to much. I assume they did that to with the rope to protect Roode but its just stupid any way you cut it. This was the perfect time to put over another guy in the main event scene when they desperately need it.

PLEASE tell me Sting beat Hogan.

 

[Metallo]

Why the f*** would Hogan turn babyface now? That fast? makes no sense. I sense a stupid swerve. Sting shoulda just beat him and left him laying but Hogan being Hogan HAD to get a pop at the end with a babyface turn. Typical.

 

[Wheels]

I should've known TNA would pull something like this.
