Bound For Glory 2014 LD

[klunderbunker]

Let's get this over with.

 

[klunderbunker]

The arena is uh....small.

 

[Vega]

Eh, it might very well be TNA's last PPV ever, so I'll watch it for historical significance. Though I might doze off in an hour or so.

 

[Slash-LN]

The arena is uh....small.

Most historic arena in Japan according to Borash or whoever told him to say that.

I've never heard of this place and don't remember what he said but I just assumed Tokyo Dome has that honor.

Not off to a great start.

 

[The Holy One]

I was just in the process of starting a LD but had a feeling someone beat me to it.

 

[The Holy One]

I'm going to be honest. I actually follow puro and I have no idea who the hell these guys from Wrestle-1 are besides Muta.

 

[klunderbunker]

But Tanaka is a twenty year veteran! That means he's AWESOME right?

 

[Slash-LN]

I like how they're not even trying to pretend they're calling the action live.

 

[The Holy One]

The arena is uh....small.

You actually have to give them props for this. They seem to have learned from their past mistakes as they actually booked an arena they can fill.

 

[Slash-LN]

Masato Tanaka > Minoru Tanaka

 

[The Holy One]

Good lord did Bully lose weight

Yeah, for the most worthless big show in company history.

 

[Vega]

This whole thing feels as unimportant as they want it to. So... good job?

 

[The Holy One]

Yeah, for the most worthless big show in company history.

No arguments there, I honestly don't understand the thought process of planning this event.

 

[klunderbunker]

No arguments there, I honestly don't understand the thought process of planning this event.

Hopefully to open a market in Japan. That's smart, but not when they've barely got one in America.

It worked out great for ROH, so why not just copy them

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Did ROH not promote the PPV and keep all of their biggest talents off of it? Genuine question, I have no idea what ROH's biggest PPV of the year is.

 

[The Holy One]

But even at that it's a very shoddy plan, b/c they already had a working relationship with New Japan (arguably the top promotion in Japan) in the past. This is a clear downgrade. It's nothing but a glorified version of their old Global Impact shows which were way better than what we are currently seeing.

 

[klunderbunker]

Global Impact Japan had three titles matches with two title changes. It's already above this show.

 

[ABMorales787]

Am I watching the wrong show? Because I'm seeing Beer Money vs 3D at Lockdown '09.

[EDIT] Oh, fuck this IS Bound For Glory.

 

[klunderbunker]

Am I watching the wrong show? Because I'm seeing Beer Money vs 3D at Lockdown '09.

Nope that's right. They're "showing great Team 3D moments". Certainly not filling time or anything of course.

 

[ABMorales787]

Good grief, the arena is smaller than my local one at my home town.

 

[The Holy One]

I mean I'm not trying to shit on TNA because they get too much of that already, but you can't convince me that this was a great idea at least with the card that's being presented.

 

[ABMorales787]

........Who the fuck is chanting "MVP"?

There's no doubt it was a good idea. Except the show not being treated as what it was for the past 8 years. The biggest show in TNA.
