TNA Bound for Glory 2013

TNA biggest PPV of the year - hopefully with some new developments and better booking than last years PPV.

The show kicks off with THE TNA Title overall - THE X-DIVISION TITLE in an ULTIMATE X-MATCH

1. X-DIVISION-TITLE: Jeff Hardy vs Samoa Joe vs Austin Aries vs Manik (c) vs Sabin

Sabin is the only heel in this match and he´s trying to get to the title first. Outside brawling all over the place. Joe is battleing with Sabin, Hardy with Manik while Aries is waiting on the outside. Jeff showing the overhead facebuster on Aries and going for a ladder. Almost everybody using the ladder as a weapon to get an advantage.

Aries counters Joes muscle buster and flying into Hardy to find himself into a chokehold from Joe. Joe taking over the match with some power moves while Hardy brings the ladder into the match and Joe and Hardy fighting off on the top of the ladder until Aries kick both of the ladder. Sabin throwing the ladder away with Manik and Aries on top of it.

Twist of faith on Sabin, Velvet in the ring to stop Hardy and Sabin gets to the title first. Way to short and unspectecular for an X-Division match. 6 of 10 points.

BAD INFLUENCE making an appearance in the ring and claiming to be the best tag team in the wrestling world. They want to be part in the TAG TITLES Match later in the show. While attacking Eric Young ABYSS showing up and destroying BA with some BLACK HOLE SLAMS.

2. TAG TEAM TITLE: Storm & Gunner (c) vs Bro Mance 

Sorry but worst tag team booking for a long time.... There are much better tag teams in TNA than Bro Mance. Gunner and Storm starting with some good double moves. The Bros sneaking their way back into the match with the third bro on the outside. Storm showing the flying elbow from the tope rope but just for a 2 count. Robby counters the Eye of the storm but just a 2 count either. Double powerbomb/backstapper on Robby E but the save from Jessi. After some chaos Bro Mance delivered their finishing move to James Storm and winning surprisingly the Tag Titles. 7,5 of 10 points for a good tag match.

Kurt Angle gets his spot in the TNA HALL of FAME - THANK YOU ANGLE!!!!

3. KNOCKOUT TITLE - ODB (c) vs Gail Kim vs Brook

I´m still a big fan of Gail and ODB - so who needs Brook in that match. ODB againt Brook in the first minutes of the match. Gail takes Brook into the figure four around the steel post - like that move over and over again. ODB comes back with some power and submission moves until Gail kicks her hard into the back. Top rope action with all 3 knockouts - flying bodies everywhere. And than the ref got some girls action too and is out of action. ODB is dominating the match until Lei´d Tapa is coming to the ring and takes out ODB. Than a powerbomb for Brook and Gail wins the match and the title. Best winner and a really good knockout´s match - 7 of 10 points.  Gail Kim and her new bodyguard celebrating in the ring.

4. Bobby Rhode vs Kurt Angle

Angle vs Rhode sounds like a wrestling match of the year candidate. Rhode attacking the neck of Angle over and over again and shows a lot of power moves against Angle. Kurt comes back with the back suplex series but didnt get the win with it. Kurt Angle starts bleeding out of the mouth inside the crossface submission move. Both men on the top rope and Angle tried the moonsault but missed his opponent. Back into the crossface Angle changed the move into the Angle lock on Rhode. And another reversal and again the crossface on Angle. Reversals over and over again until Angle shows his german suplex series again.

Rhode hit a low blow and a neck breaker for a very close 2 count. Angle back on top and Rhode into the Angle lock again. Looks like Rhode passed out and while the ref is holding up Rhodes hand - tha hand fall on the rope and Angle has to break the submission move. Top rope Angle Slam and both men are down. Looks like Angle hits his head on that slam and Rhode gets the victory. 8,5 of 10 points and hopefully no injury for Angle.


5. EC3 Ethan Carter III vs Norv Fernum

WTF ?!?! - BORING - front face ddt and that one is over. 0 of 10 points.


6. Sting vs Magnus

Hopefully Sting can bring Magnus to a new level. I like Magnus since he startet in TNA. Both men are able to strike their moves until Sting gets Magnus into the Scorpion Death lock. Magnus is able to get out of the submission move. Magnus shows some of Sting moves against Sting and hits a screwdriver but just for a 2 count. Magnus on the top rope and he hits the flying elbow on Sting. Sting finds himself in the clotherleaf submission hold and he has to give up. A little bit to short for me and Magnus didnt look that much as a new born wrestler for me. 6 of 10 points.


7. TNA WORLD TITLE - Bully Ray (c) vs AJ Styles

There could be only one winner in this match and thats AJ. Bully bullying AJ the whole time during the match but AJ strikes back and hits some pretty hard moves on the world champ. Some of the Aces and Eights buddies attacking AJ over and over again until Bully hits Knox with a clothsline. Bully kicking AJ to the outside whos falling directly on the hammer. The fans screaming for TABLES and they got one. Bully on the table on the outside and AJ on the top rope - 450 splash but AJ misses Bully Ray but not the table.

Bully cuts off the map in the ring and bring the woodn planks to light. Dixie coming to the ring and handed a chair over to Bully but AJ hits a flying forarm on the chair into Bullys face. 450 splash again but Dixie breaks the count. Bully back body dropped AJ on the wood. AJ strikes the Palee on Bully to get back into the match followed by a chairshot to Bullys head. Spiral tap from the top rope and AJ is the NEW TNA WORLD CHAMPION. 

Good match even everybody knows the outcomeb. 8,5 of 10 points.

Good ppv at all with 1 total failure of the EC3 match and a way to short X-DIVISION match. 7 of 10 points for the ppv.

WWE Battleground 2013

Here are the results and my thoughts of last nights WWE PPV.

Kick off show: Dolph Ziggler vs Damien Sandow

Its a shame the WWE using up Ziggler on a PRE PPV show - that sucks. Ziggler controls the first minutes of the match with some quick moves. Sandow using his power to get back into the match until Dolph hit him with a dropkick while Sandow was flying from the top rope. A neckbreaker from Sandow went wrong on Ziggler but Ziggler continued and show off the Famouser for a close 2 count. Short time later - ZICK ZACK and the winner is ( of course ) Dolph Ziggler. 6 of 10 points.

1. World Heavyweight Championship - RVD vs Alberto DelRio (c) - HARDCORE RULES

RVD starting with some actions on the outside and the barrier. Meanwhile the Lawler telling the audiance that Sandow injured his knee in the Kick off show. But there is still the BIG rumor that he will cashing in his briefcase on the winner of this match. RVD hitting DelRio with a DDT on the chair. Del Rio using that same chair to get back into the match. RVD switch to a ladder as a weapon while DelRio flying into the ladder and directly to the outside floor. Moonsault on the ladder and DelRio... THIS IS AWESOME - Rolling thunder hits the ladder too but without DelRio. Rodriques helping RVD out of the armbar by hitting Alberto with a bucket.

OMG - frogsplash to the outside on DelRio laying under the ladder.  RVD on top with a chair but missing DelRio and landed hard. Cross arm breaker on RVD in a chair and the winner by submission: Alberto DelRio. Great opener for 9 of 10 points.

 

2. Tag Team Match - Real Americans vs Marella and Great Khali

That´s a KICK OFF show match for me and its only on the PPV for the giant swing from Antonio Cesaro on the Great Khali to getting him over with the fans for a face turn. The real Americans hitting hard on Marella with power and double team moves. After the HOT TAG to the Khali the REAL AMERICANS are very close to losing the match until Cesaro hits the legs and shows the GIANT SWING on the Great Khali and getting the win with it. 4 of 10 points. And 10 of 10 for the GIANT GIANT SWING.

 

 3. Intercontinental Title Championship - Curtis Axel (c) vs R-Truth

Sorry but thats bad booking at its best. No opponent for Axel besides CM Punk for weeks and 6 days for the PPV they find R-truth on the roster as a opponent. LAME. Just after the bell rings the fans startet the BORING chants. Axel dominates the match with some hard moves on R-Truth. Short and unspectacular match with Axel as the winner. 3 of 10 points.

 

4. DIVAS Title Championship - AJ Lee (c) vs Brie Bella

Thats good booking for months in the DIVAS division. AJ attacking Brie very hard hitting her face first into the steel post. AJ attacking the right arm over and over again to getting to the black widow submission move on Brie. Brie getting better into the match and the fans are on her side. Hard back breaker on AJ but just a 2 count. Tamina attacking Nicci on the outside and AJ using that for a quick roll up on Brie to retain the title. A little bit short but ok. 6 of 10 points.

5. The SHIELD vs The RHODES

Its looks to me that TEAM RHODES are on their way to the TAG Titles. The SHIELD are the dominant force in the match but the fans are loud and chearing for TEAM RHODES even without Codys LOVESTACHE. Goldust bringing this team back into the match by hitting hard on Reigns. Cody using some quick moves to get a close 2 count on Rollins and using SAMOA JOEs finisher to get another 2 count. Dusty showing his Elbow on Ambrose while Cody showing the CROSS ROADs to win the match and their jobs back. The audiance running wild... great tag match with the right winner - 8 of 10 points.

 

6. Kofi Kingston vs Bray Wyatt

I like the Wyatt Family gimmick and Kofi is a great opponent. Its power versus high flying moves. So Kofi shows off his flying skills over and over again inside and outside the ring to getting an advantage. Bray getting some help from the outside to get back into the match and he conters the S.O.S. with the SISTER Abygale to win this short match. 6 of 10 points.

 

7. CM Punk vs Ryback

Great booking too with this rivalry between Punk and Heyman. Ryback using his power to power down Punk. After Punk getting better into the match Heyman uses the mic to distract Punk and Ryback hits a powerbomb on CM Punk. Punk can come back with some quick kicks and a hurricanrana but cant strike with the Go to sleep. Ryback back in the game with some power pushes and Heyman wants to hit Punk with a kendo stick. While the ref is with Heyman, CM Punk hits a low blow on Ryback and gets the victory. Good match but not the end of the story. We will see them back for a HELL IN A CELL. 7 of 10 points.

8. WWE Title Championship - Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton

WWE Bookers know how to get Daniel Bryan over with the fans for months now. Great idea with the GOAT versus WHATS BEST FOR THE BUSINESS. Orton is a great heel character as Bryan the best face at the moment. Bryan is working from the start on the left arm of Orton for a submission victory. Orton using some power moves to get back into the match and bringing Daniel more and more into trouble. Randy getting more vicious every move he hits. Bryan picking up the speed and getting back the control of the match. Tope rope dropkick from Bryan went into a reversal powerbomb from Orton into a submission move on Bryan. Daniel trying his YES lock but Randy got into the ropes and throws Bryan into the steel steps on the outside of the ring.

A superplex hurt them both and Randy suplexed Bryan to the outside floor. Back on the feet Daniel Bryan flying again and again from to top rope into Orton. 5 running dropkicks on Orton in the corner and the fans running wild - YES YES YES YES YES.

But Randy conters a kick into a suplex where Daniel Bryan landet badly on his shoulders. After Bryan conters a roll up cover into the YES lock the BIG SHOW comes to the ring and punsh down Daniel Bryan. Scott Armstrong is back as a ref in the ring but in the last second the Big Show stopped the count. Big Show knocks out Randy Orton and the fans are stunned.... no winner yet... no winner at all because the ppy time is up... great mainevent - 9 of 10 points.

With a BIG SHOW on the top rope the show gets off the air....
