This Week in TNA: Special Edition - Bound For Glory 2011

By Mike Johns Oct 17, 2011 - 3:34 PM

Bound For Glory, TNA's WrestleMania...  That's pretty much all I need to say about the show's background.  It's the show TNA touts as the biggest of its PPV year, and it usually ends with Sting winning.  Except last year's which only saw Sting win in the middle of the show, instead. 

So, we have the preshow match for the Tag Team Titles - Mexican America defending against Ink Inc.  In what should come as virtually no shock whatsoever, the 'Itas interfere, and even with Christina Von Eerie (who they call "Toxine" here, because... I don't know) in the Inker's corner, the Fake Mexicans manage to steal the win, as Ink Inc. bumble into one another, and Hernandez rolls Jesse Neal up for the pin.

The Show Proper begins with yet another movie-trailer-style video package, focusing on the two main conflicts of the evening, Hulk Hogan vs. Sting, which dominates the early half of the package, and the Bobby Roode/Kurt Angle match, which take the latter half.  

The first match of the actual PPV is for the X-Division Title, as Brian Kendrick tries to take the title back from Austin Aries.   Kendrick tries adding a dance to his entrance, to mixed results.   A Double, in the meantime, gets a healthy chant that TNA tries to drown out with his ring music, while wearing a child-size cape, because... he's A Double and he can?   Once the music dies down, the Aries chant makes itself known.   Taz and Tenay try to laugh it off, inferring Philly is a "heel crowd", as the match picks up.   Kendrick manages to get one up on Austin and dives on him to the outside, to a roar of disapproval.   As Aries hits his Hilo, we get touches of a divided audience, as Aries chants are finally answered with a "sucks" retaliation chant.   For the most part, we have a solid opener, whose only downside seems to be that tonight's crowd is either going to be pro-heel (thus, throwing everyone off), or just pro-Aries, proving the point I've been making for a while that Kendrick isn't the babyface TNA needs him to be here.   Kendrick makes a comeback with a series of kicks, just to get taken down by an Aries gutbuster/STO/pendulum elbow combo.   Aries tries to hit his running dropkick, but Kendrick counters with a kick to the face, and gets a 2 count off a running tornado DDT.   Kendrick goes for Sliced Bread, but Austin dumps him outside, then nails the heat seeking missle dive to the outside on Kendrick.   Kendrick fights out of a brainbuster attempt into a nearfall.   Kendrick is able to nail a Top Rope Sliced Bread, but Austin saves himself from a pin by grabbing the ropes.    After another running dropkick and a brainbuster, Austin retains his title, pinning Kendrick.

We go to the back, where Traci Brooks and Jeremy Borash are playing with the Jarrett Girls and the Angle Kids.   Karen Jarrett: Pissed Off Mom walks in, glaring disapprovingly.   She chases the kids off, then berates Traci for being nice to her kids, and, because her massive breasts can't be covered to Karen's liking, she claims her baby son is confused.   Karen then announces that she will be the Special Guest Referr for the KO Title match later tonight, because, once again, she believes the entire division is filled with nothing but prostitutes.   Traci tries to talk her out of it, begging to let their girls have a chance. Karen then demands that Traci stay in their little room here tonight, unless Karen is in physical danger.   So, obviously, Karen's going to get bumped, and Traci's going to come out to interfere in the KO Title Match tonight.

Hey, TNA, you remember that thing I talked about last month on PPV, where you give away your finishes in the pre-match interviews?   You're doing that, again...

Our next match is Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn in Full Metal Mayhem (read: TLC Match).   If you saw any of their classic encounters from the late 1990s, this match, moreso than the Destination X one, resembled those encounters more.   Partially, because weapons were actually legal here, allowing them to recreate more of their classic ECW spots, and partially, because they did have the previous matches against each other this year, and had a chance to get back into their groove.   After a long back-and-forth in and around the ring, making a rather sparse use of weapons, compared to most other matches you'll see these days with these kinds of stipulations, Lynn sets up a ladder on the outside on the barricade, trying to dump RVD on to it.   RVD is able to counter out, and tries to suplex Lynn on the ladder.   Lynn fights out of the attempt and nails RVD with a sunset flip powerbomb onto the ladder.   Lynn rolls RVD in the ring for a nearfall as the fans chant for RVD.   Rob gets the Van Daminator for 2.   RVD sets Lynn up for the Van Terminator in the corner, grabbing a chair as he goes and placing a ladder in Lynn's face for good measure.   One Van Terminator later, RVD gets the pin on Lynn with the help of a ladder.

And then, we get the point of sheer nonsense afterwards, as the two hug after the match.   See, this match happened because Lynn was jealous of RVD's success, costing him matches in the BFG Series, and wanting to get back at Rob because, unlike him, Lynn had to make his living working a 9-to-5 Joe Job, waiting by his phone so promoters could book him against RVD.   Yet, once RVD kicks Jerry's ass, they're just magically friends again.  

TNA - this does not happen in real life.   Friends don't just "make up" after a fight like this, especially when one is trying to cost the other his livelihood, jealous over his so-called friend's success, wondering why his supposed friend isn't getting him a more permanent gig not doing the Joe Job deal, you know?   It doesn't make sense!

Anyway, we get footage of Dixie Carter arriving at the arena earlier today with Serg, Mr. Dixie, in tow.

We then go to our 3-Way between Crimson, Matt Morgan, and Samoa Joe.   Basically, it's three big guys, trading slams, breaking up each other's pins to a relatively apathetic audience.   The one time the crowd seems hot?   When Joe is dominating the other two, diving on them on the outside, of course.   Matt Morgan, not to be upstaged, then makes a top rope dive to the outside of his own, crashing onto Crimson as Crimson and Joe brawl.   Joe laughs at Morgan's stupidity, as he seemingly has done more damage to his knees than he did to Crimson.   Joe gets some nearfalls on Crimson with a series of quick pins, then punches at Crimson for a bit.   Big Red makes his comeback, just for Morgan to try and steal a pin on Joe once Crimson's done the damage.   Crimson and Morgan then fight over who gets to pin Joe for a while, throwing some wild haymakers at one another.   Joe takes over on Crimson once Morgan's out of the picture, setting him up for a Muscle Buster, but Morgan saves Crimson.   Morgan tries to kick Crimson with the Carbon Footprint, but gets hung up on the top rope once he misses, allowing Crimson to spear Joe and get the pin.  

In the back, JB interviews Bully Ray, who brags about how badly he's going to beat Mr. Anderson's ass tonight, then talking about how he's been raping the Philly fans for decades, now, milking those idiots for every dime he can get out of them.  

I'll be honest.   I expected the Ray/Anderson match to SUCK.   I even felt the Falls Count Anywhere stipulation was a concession on TNA's part that even they didn't expect Ray and Anderson to have that great of a match, here.   And while Ray's game has definitely been raised in the past year, it was mostly Anderson that I felt would drag down this match.   Now, given, I really don't like Anderson much at all, these days.   I hate his character with a vengeance, and really don't care for his matches.   But, with all of that said, many people have been raving about this match, and shock of shockers, I disagree.   It certainly wasn't a terrible brawl, but for people to be calling this the match of the night, well... actually, they'd be right, as little else on this card was much better.   At the same time, I can't honestly like this match.   At ALL.

For one, it's the same sort of ECW-style Brawl Around the World match I honestly hate.   Sorry, but dragging each other around on the outside, hitting each other over the head with whatever isn't bolted down simply does not impress me.   Another is that it blatantly steals a classic ECW spot between Raven and Tommy Dreamer, where Dreamer hits Raven over the head with a fan's sign, just to reveal the sign was actually a metal traffic sign covered with poster board.   Now, some will say that me calling this a down point is unfair, claiming that it's a tribute, or trying to use that "it hasn't been used in years" logic, which is baseless, because TNA did this at least twice in the past year, alone.   The point is, we've seen it, and because this is my opinion, and I didn't like it, guess what?   I didn't like it.   Moving on...

Anderson and Ray Brawl Around the World.   That's pretty much the match.   They brawl up the ramp, and after Ray suplexes Ken on the stage, he calls for the Anderson mic and mocks the fallen Ken for a bit, which just really pisses this audience off.   Anderson gets back up, nails Ray with the mic, and gets a near fall.   They brawl into the back, then brawl back out again.   Brawl, brawl, brawl.   Ray piledrives Anderson on concrete in the back, and, because this is TNA, and they don't know how to protect a finish worth a damn, Anderson kicks out.

Guys, if you drop a person head first on concrete, they shouldn't be able to get back up.   This isn't a message to just TNA, it's a message to every wrestler in the world today.   When you drop a person, for real, on concrete, head first, it's considered ATTEMPTED MURDER.   People shouldn't kick out of that.

They eventually brawl their way back to the ring.   Anderson brings in a piece of the guardrail, just to get hit with it himself.   Ray sets a table up in the ring.   Anderson then back body drops Ray on the guardrail.   Ray Bubba Bombs Ken trhough a table, and, once again, because this is TNA, and no one knows how to protect a finish, Ken kicks out.   A FINISH, through a TABLE, in a MIDCARD MATCH, yet, people kick out.   And just to add insult to injury, Anderson Mic Checks Ray into the Guardrail, and, of course, Ray kicks out.   Once again, a FINISH, onto a METAL OBJECT, in the MIDCARD.   And people wonder why finishes don't get over in TNA...

 After some more brawling, Ken sets Ray up on a table on the outside, then climbs to the top turnbuckle and completely misses with a Kenton Bomb off the top.   Seriously, the dude completely misses Ray and lands on his feet on the other side of the table.   And this, folks, is what many of you are calling the Match of the Night.   Oh, and just to make things worse, THIS was the finish.   Yes, Match of the Night, and Ken blows the finish.   So, after Ken blows the finish, the two talk on the floor, trying to figure out a new finish, as even the ref joins the pow wow.   Seriously, they look like they're in a huddle, trying to decide how they're going to end this now that Ken blew the finish.   They ultimately decide on a Mic Check through the table, giving Anderson the pinfall victory.

Match of the Night, folks.

In the back, TNA FINALLY reveals that referee Jackson James is Eric Bischoff's son, claiming that he is their "secret weapon" tonight in Hogan's match against Sting.   After a year's worth of opportunities to make this a major plot point on TV, and actually lead to something vaguely interesting, TNA reveals this fact tonight, where... you know what?   I'll just spoil it for you, now - Jackson turns babyface and tries to stop Immortal from beating up Sting.   Yep, Jackson James, who we JUST NOW learned was not only Bischoff's son, but a heel ref all along, making all the right calls to benefit Immortal in the past year, turns babyface in about an hour from now, making all of this, you guessed it - ENTIRELY POINTLESS!!!

It's time for the Knockouts Title Match, as Karen Jarrett meddles in a match featuring Velvet Sky, Mickie James, Madison Rayne, and the current champ, Winter.   Basically, Karen ruins whatever flow this match could have possibly had by bumbling around like an idiot, trying to encourage Winter and Maddie to let Mickie and Velvet kill each other.   Eventually, Winter accidentally spits red mist into Karen's face, which she sells like Death, allowing Traci Brooks to come down to the ring and count the pin for Velvet Sky after she nails Maddie with her Double Underhook X-Factor thing she just started using as a finish a couple weeks ago.   Velvet Sky becomes the new Knockouts Champion in a finish that practically BEGS for Karen to strip Velvet of the title come Impact, because Traci wasn't the official referee in the match.

Actually, I want to see just how TNA is going to try and justify NOT having Karen strip Velvet of the title come Impact, so the two can be on "even ground", as Velvet put it last Thursday on Impact.   Seriously, how are we going to BS our way out of Karen being totally able and justified in stripping Velvet of the title, TNA?   Are you going to pull the "referee's decision is final" card?   Oh, wait... that won't work, because Traci isn't a referee.    In fact, she has absolutely no authority in this company at all.   So, really, TNA, how do you keep the KO Title on Velvet come Impact?   What kind of stupid, convoluted logic are you going to use?   I want to know!

Up next, we get the I Quit Match between AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, which, unlike the last two "hardcore" stipulation matches, is relatively conservative.   The only real weapons used in this match are a screwdriver, which Daniels tries to gouge AJ with, a wrench, which Daniels tries to throw at AJ on the outside, but misses, and a chair, which Daniels brutalizes AJ with.   Daniels has the match in hand, almost hanging AJ in the ropes after attempting a Blue Thunder Bomb on the apron, but missing.   Daniels taunts AJ a bit, rolls him back in the ring, and continues his attack, nailing a Best Moonsault Ever to the back of AJ.   AJ mounts a comeback, fighting out of a half crab, but a backbreaker later, Daniels regains control and goes for a chair.   Daniels then sets up the chair on AJ's throat, takes the mic, and gloats about how much he's wanted to take everything from AJ that TNA ever gave him.   Daniels goes on like a Bond Villain, and, like all Bond Villains, his speech-making gets the best of him, as he turns his back on AJ to taunt AJ's wife, telling her to take the kids out of the room, because they shouldn't see their dad murdered on PPV.   AJ makes his comeback, nails his signature springboard DDT, then follows up with the springboard forearm.   Daniels misses with another BME attempt, allowing AJ to nail a Pele Kick and the Styles Clash.   AJ then sees the screwdriver Daniels tried to stab him with earlier and grabs it, looking to do to Chris what he tried to do to Tommy Dreamer this time last year, and gouge Daniels' eye out.   Daniels sees this and begs off, screaming "I Quit" and begging his friend not to hurt him.   So, like a classic babyface, AJ drops the screwdriver and backs off.   Normally, I'd call this yet another dumb move by a babyface in TNA, but given the story between the two, it's actually the logical thing most anyone in the situation would do.   No matter how much you hate this man, and ought to know he'll just stab you in the back, he is, after all, your friend, and you want to see the redeeming parts of his personality shine through so you two can go back to being friends.   Unfortunately, this is pro wrestling.   Daniels takes advantage of his friend's kindness, and stabs him in the back, attacking him after the match and driving him face first on the stage with an Angel's Wings, all the while claiming that AJ never actually beat him.

Now, folks, THIS is what I would personally call the Match of the Night, so far.   Logical storytelling, both from an in-ring perspective and a booking one, build up to use of the weapons, a dramatic, emotional finish, and, outside of the botched Blue Thunder Bomb on the apron, no major screw-ups or missteps between the two.   THIS is what I call "good wrestling".   Not saying that Anderson/Ray was terrible, but it was nothing compared to this.  

With that said, the finish was kind of odd.   While it is technically the third major match of the feud, it feels like the first, as it's the only one thus far that's had AJ and Daniels in opposite roles and a real conflict driving it.   Because of that, not only did the stipulation seem to come out of the blue, but the finish was just odd.   Had this been later on down the road in their feud, this match would have made more sense, but as essentially the first match since Daniels officially turned heel, it just comes off as weird, like you're starting the story in the third act or something.

Jeff Jarrett comes down to the ring to bitch about Jeff Hardy for what feels like forever.   Hardy comes out with yet another new theme, which has him singing about how he wants One More Chance.   Subtle.   Hardy is also apparently wearing a shirt that has negatives of his mugshot, from his 2009 arrest.   Why?   Who knows?   I honestly don't know who'd buy the mugshot Hardy shirt, but considering his rabid fanbase, there's bound to be at least a dozen or so who'll pick that up.   Hardy joins Jarrett in the ring, just so Jarrett can attack him.   They fight, security breaks it up, and it turns out all hope I had of a Kazarian/Jarrett feud have been pitched out the window, despite the near-perfect setup for it thanks to the tension between their wives, Traci and Karen, in the KO Division, is shot.   Jarrett's next feud is with Jeff Hardy.   Oh well...

Hulk Hogan vs. Sting is next, and yep, it's as bad as you thought it'd be.   Ric Flair comes out to strut around ringside and run interference as Hogan and Sting hobble around, doing almost nothing.   Hogan does actually manage to take two bumps, while Sting comes off looking like Shawn Michaels in his match with Hogan at SummerSlam 2005, bouncing around like a superball, trying desperately to make Hogan's slaps and fake punches look like the Hand of the Almighty.   Flair introduces a spike or brass knucks or something... I never get a good look at it, and despite the fact that these men do NOTHING in this match, they both end up bleeding.   Go figure.   Eventually, Sting nails Hogan with a Stinger Splash to the back of Hogan's head, while Taz and Tenay scream about how Sting is attacking the injured back of Hogan, then manages to lock in a Scorpion Deathlock on Hogan.   Hogan taps for, like, six years, but referee Jackson James won't call the match at first.   Eventually, he realizes that no one is going to save Hogan, and calls for the bell, giving Sting the win, and Dixie Carter her company back.

After the match, Immortal hits the ring and pounces on Sting.   Bischoff tries to hit Sting with a chair, but Jackson James, who we just learned AN HOUR AGO was Bischoff's Son, and in cahoots with Immortal, all along, making bad calls that benefited Immortal for over a year, takes the chair from his dad and refuses to let him beat on Sting further.   Yep, the guy we just learned was a dirty ref in cahoots with Immortal all along, and Eric Bischoff's son AN HOUR AGO just turned babyface, again.   Anyway, Bisch cracks Jackson with a chair, and the Immortal beatdown on Sting continues.

But, of course, James isn't the only nonsensical turn of the night, as Hulk Hogan, as he sees his hated enemy, Sting, who just cost him control of TNA, being beaten down by his friend and business partner, Eric Bischoff, along with the hired goons they keep around them, decides at this moment that things have gone to far.   Hulk tears off his shirt, scares off Immortal, and saves Sting as Dixie Carter is shown at ringside, having a freaking orgasm at the sight of Hulkamania running wild.   And, of course, people in Philly and folks online are gushing about how this is such a feel-good moment, seeing Hulkamania running wild again, chasing off the bad guys.   Never mind how this in no way makes ANY sense whatsoever, as, on a dime, Hulk Hogan decides that he'd rather be cheered by a crowd than be in charge of TNA, and betrays people he has far stronger connections to in order to save a guy who literally just cost Hulk control of an entire, supposed multimillion dollar wrestling company!   Yeah, feel good moment, all right... if you're a lobotomized chimpanzee with no sense of logic, character, or storytelling whatsoever.

But hey, thanks to this, you guys have just managed to justify yet another year of Hulk Hogan monopolizing TV time on wrestling shows and remaining the top focus, no matter how much damage it does to TNA overall.   Congratulations, wrestling fans - you've just fed the giant orange monster's ego, yet again!

Moving on to the actual Main Event, Bobby Roode vs. Kurt Angle for the TNA Title.   I'm honestly a bit torn about this match, and its finish.   See, while I understand how many people are upset about the fact that Roode ultimately lost here, I honestly don't see Roode as a viable World Champion, as he stands right now.   On the other hand, DGUSA commentator Lenny Leonard made a very good point to me last night on Twitter concerning how TNA may have seriously dropped the ball by letting Roode lose here, contending that you would never be able to replicate the build TNA gave Roode going into this match, and, essentially, turning Roode into a Tyler Black.   For those unfamiliar with ROH, Tyler Black had an opportunity to become ROH Champion back at Final Battle 2009 with a similar build against champion, Austin Aries, culminating a break-out year where Tyler proved himself against former champs like Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness, as well as severing ties with the Age of the Fall, all while building towards a rematch from Final Battle 2008 against Aries, this time, for the ROH Title.   Tyler was looking not only to get his win back, having lost to Aries the year before, but to prove that he did truly deserve the ROH Title.   And then, he lost.   He did eventually win the title a few months later at the 8th Anniversary Show, but by then, the damage was done.   Tyler was seen as a choke artist, who, once he became champion, was booed and hated by the fans who, just a few months back, loved and supported him, all because he didn't win the title when it mattered the most.   Tyler ended up leaving ROH to go to the WWE's Developmental System, leaving the promotion as a sell-out heel, looking to spit on ROH's ethos and their heroes, such as Davey Richards, while taking the ROH Title with him.   His final match at Glory by Honor IX last year was, at the time, the single most talked-about match in ROH History, as not only was Tyler going out a heel, but facing a heel in Roderick Strong, yet another guy fans honestly never thought ROH would put the title on, having lost shot after shot after shot after shot for nearly 4 years leading into it.

Anyway, while I do still believe that Roode is not and would not be a credible World Champion for this company in his current state, I will concede that Lenny Leonard and other critics of last night's match are right in the sense that, if there ever was a time where Roode needed to win, it was at Bound For Glory.   I simply offer up the argument that had Roode won, he would not be embraced as the hero many think he would be had he won last night.   He'd have just been another guy who got to hold the TNA Title for a little while, because, at this point right now, the TNA championship means little to nothing to the fanbase or the narrative of the show, because it's been passed around so much with so little direction that just about anyone, right now, could, on a whim, become TNA Champion.

So, on to the match itself, and the OTHER reason I highly doubt Roode winning here would have meant a damn thing, long-term or otherwise, which is... the match was kind of blah.   Sorry, but it wasn't the Main Event this show needed to make any of this seem worth a damn.   As a television Main Event, or even a Main Event on a lesser show, this would have been fine.   It seems obvious that Kurt got hurt somewhere in all of this, either when Roode German Suplexed him off the top rope in the early minutes of the match, or perhaps somewhere else along the line.   Either way, the two looked like they were having to make the best of a bad situation, as Kurt at least looked like he was hurt, and the match seemed a bit rushed.   Several people on Twitter pointed out last night that the show seemed to be running long, and so this match had to be cut for time.   They even skipped the traditional pre-match intros with JB in the ring, as is customary with TNA Main Events.

As for the match itself, it was certainly ambitious, enough.   There were several spots I wouldn't have seen coming, including several rather creative reversals by Roode out of the ankle lock into the crossface, which I don't remember seeing before.   Roode is able to make it look like he has the match won with what seems like his 15th crossface attempt of the match, but Angle gets to the ropes.   Angle misses a moonsault, and Roode goes for the crossface again.   Angle manages to break the hold.   He tries for an Angle Slam, but Roode escapes, goes for a suplex, Angle blocks that, and then nails the Angle Slam right next to the ropes.   Angle then uses the ropes for leverage to steal the win from Roode, who did look like he could and probably even should have been able to beat Kurt at least 8 different times in this match.

Final Thoughts:
After last year's BFG, which saw TNA turn nearly the entire roster in one moment, this year's edition wasn't nearly as ludicrous or ambitious.   While I will generally disagree with most that Bobby Roode should be World Champion, now, I will concede that he very badly needed to win this match here and become champion.   I simply offer the counter statement that says Roode as champion would mean absolutely NOTHING to this company or the Championship, and possibly very little to Roode's credibility going forward.   All he'd really get out of it would be to maintain his momentum, which, if you paid any real attention to this show tonight, wouldn't have happened, anyway.   Yes, you'll never have had a better opportunity to make him a top guy, but he also isn't going to be a top guy here, no matter how hard you push him, because, even if he does succeed, and I'd highly doubt he could have, he'll just be drowned out by Hogan and the WWE Castoffs like Hardy and Anderson, just like AJ, Daniels and Joe are now.   I hate to be this guy, but we all knew going in that Bobby Roode was little more than a Barry Windham, here - a perennial contender fans like, but don't honestly buy as World Champion.   Had he won here, there's good chance he'd have become Tommy Rich or Ronnie Garvin - guys who did win the title, but were ultimately not embraced as champions.   Which is worse, the idea that you'll never get another chance to make Roode really matter, or watching Bobby Roode inadvertently drag the TNA Title down even more, through no real fault of his own, because he wasn't established enough as a star to be taken seriously by fans as the champion?   This was always a lose-lose situation, even if TNA wasn't overridden by old guys and castoffs from WWE hogging all the attention.

Hogan's a top babyface now, because... f*ck knows, really.   His turn came completely out of nowhere, and served no purpose, other than for Hulkster to get cheered.   Meanwhile, a plot point that really deserved more attention, namely, the fact that referee Jackson James was Bischoff's son, and working with Immortal all along, a point that was never once brought up on TV before this, is pissed away in just about an hour and led to absolutely NOTHING.

Ultimately, this show solved nothing of any real importance, other than to give Dixie Carter her company back and get people to cheer for Hogan.   It did have some good matches, and wasn't a terrible show by any means, but it wasn't the spectacle it needed to be to justify this show's existence.   It was just... there.   As for Bobby Roode, yes, losing here could very well have done irreparable harm as a future World Title Contender.   He may very well have been turned into a Tyler Black here.   At the same time, he wins, and then what?   He feuds with James Storm?   He loses it back to Kurt next month?   They ditch him altogether and put the title on... I don't know... Jeff Hardy or something?   Bobby Roode was never going to be the guy to turn this company around, and you guys know this.   If he won last night, I guarantee you, by Thursday, he'd have been just another guy, again.   You guys know this.
