Ok before I get to the title changes, I just got to say the event overall...I mean really? EC3 vs Norv Fernum? This is the biggest event of the year and we get a squash match? That was like the pay per view we had a year ago with Ryback vs 2 jobbers.
Ok, now with that out of the way let's get down to business. The ultimate x match. Yes the ladder rule being forgotten somehow by TNA is questionable. Kicking off the show with this match was a good idea to get the viewers and crowd going but, I know the competitors did their best but given the talent for this match, you definitely expected better. Usually this match is a match of the year candidate, but this was a far cry from that, and past ultimate x matches for that matter.
The knockouts championship changing...I like Gail Kim don't get me wrong, and she's very talented, but for her to be the champion right now doesn't serve any purpose. unlike dagger dias says, she is hot and that cheap jabroni needs to know his role and SHUT HIS MOUTH! IF YOU SMELL WHAT DARKRAIN IS POURING!!!! the division is small now since Brooke Hogan destroyed it under her leadership. I fully expected a Lei D Tapa run in, but an alliance with Gail Kim? it has AJ/Tamina written all over it. Wouldn't look as bad if AJ/Tamina weren't aligned at the moment. This just looks like a rip off of that. I for one was looking forward to ODB vs Lei D Tapa for the tna knockouts championship (I also wanted to see Beth Phoenix vs Karma but that didn't happen either).
Normally I don't agree with anything dagger dias says but I do agree with him when he said how does Robbie E still have a job? The Bro-Mans are a horrible team. Them winning is the equivalent of the brain busters winning demolition in the 80s. the brain busters were far more talented granted, but the titles under them seemed like the title was a joke. The titles under the bro-mans...the titles have lost all credibility there. granted Storm and Gunner always seemed more like two guys put together (like the bro mans, ey and park, chavo and hernandez, etc) didn't have a tag name like Storms previous two teams. it was a matter of time before they lost the titles but they could have lost to a better team. although I like gunner and storm, they are more suited to singles titles at this point in their careers. and the bro mans are NOWHERE near London and Kendrick like someone else mentioned.
Before I get to the main event I would just like to praise Angle and Roode for putting on the first good match of the night. Match of the Year candidate? for TNA perhaps.
Ok, now the main event. Great match. AJ was indeed over. I fully expected him to win and it was indeed what was best for business (for TNA). No complaints here. Bully, AJ, great work. AJ has potential feuds and matches so this reign should be a good one. He is definitely the face of the company and deserves to be at the top.
In conclusion, Bound For Glory is TNA's WrestleMania. This should have been better. This was the 9th Bound For Glory...WrestleMania 9 also sucked. Coincidence perhaps? With just two good matches, it felt like some other pay per view, or an impact taping with a great main event. The knockouts and tag title changes were not necessary, and now creative has written themselves in a hole.
