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.
