[Dagger Dias]

Storm has been my pick to win the Bound For Glory series since day one, and my opinion on that has not changed a single time during the entire Bound For Glory series this year. He picks up the win here, and then whether it be Jeff Hardy or Samoa Joe who faces him in the final, I can see him winning there as well. I think this match will go on toward the end of the evening, 3rd from last or so. It won't be any later than that as The Bound For Glory series final and Aries VS Aces & Eights will most likely be the last two.

The match itself should be a good match. Both guys have been doing very well lately and I expect them to be given the opportunity for a great match here. Storm picks up the victory to move onto the Bound For Glory feud against either Aries or Roode (who I think will regain the title somehow between now and then) while Bully Ray moves on to.... well.... nothing. Now, if Bully Ray were to win this match through some miracle, then whether it's Hardy or Joe who wins the other semi final then I would expect him to lose the final. Storm's got this one though and it's fairly safe to assume that at this point.

DAGGER'S PREDICTION
James Storm will defeat Bully Ray.

 

[IHW]

Obvious logic would be for James Storm to win. He was nearly everybody's pick to win the whole Bound For Glory Series. And as Dagger said, that really hasn't changed.

This is a rematch from last years BFG Series finals. And, both of these guys have become better than they were a year ago. So the match will be nothing less than amazing, I hope. I just don't see Bully Ray winning it this time around. I think if he stays with TNA, he is bound to have a upper mid-card match at BFG, but I don't see it being for the World Title.

I got to go with the logical pick, James Storm.

Storm is the obvious pick to win here and to win the whole series of course so honestly id have to be somewhat surprised to see him lose here but on the other hand Bully Ray just signed a 2 year deal with TNA is it possible they will reward him for that with a big victory here moving him to the finals of the BFG series? This is very tough to predict I think the winner of the BFG series is whoever wins this match just to go against the grain im gonna pick Bully Ray in a upset sleeper pick to win.

 

[HoHo]

James Storm vs Bully Ray.You know in any Sport theirs a player who you can go to to get a job done, Bully Ray is one of those guys in TNA.Every week Bully Ray turns his own matches into the most important.We will see if he can defeat Coke Dealer himself James Storm who's had plenty of title shots especially in his own hometown and come up short.Storm wins it but not sure how TNA will build Aries and Storm later?

 

[HBsam31]

I see Storm taking this one. My final is James Storm vs. Jeff hardy. This will be a very hard fought match, but I don't think Storm has came this far to lose in the semi finals. I think Storm wins here for sure.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Sorry but my I'm picking Bully Ray as the Dark Horse here. I know logic points to a James Storm winning but see that's the problem for me. It's just been too obvious. He's been leading the series since the beginning, and I still don't believe that if he does win that he'll be up against Aries for the belt at BFG but I'll address that in that Austin Aries open challenge thread. Anyway I think/ hope Bobby Roode screws over Storm leading to their final grudge match at BFG. Joe makes Hardy tap out earlier in the night and Magnus screws over Joe + help from the Aces and Eights leading to reveal that Bully Ray is the leader of Aces and Eights. I'm just not a fan nor am I sold on James Storm being the face of the company. Aries is just much more suited for that role and I don't think his world title reign should be an after though thanks to Storm comeback series (which is really what this has really been) and the Aces and Eight's angle.

 

[MrHashasheen]

James Storm isn't winning this. He could, and it'd be believable, but he's got a date with Roode at BFG in my opinion. Bully Ray wins this thanks to Roode's interference/Aces & Eight interference, and goes on to face Jeff Hardy for the match at BFG. People on the internet will bitch about two ex-WWE guys being on top, but it'll make sense, and Bully Ray will face off against Austin Aries.

 

[Lowdown]

I'm picking Storm to win it all, yet with the recent re-signing of Ray, it looks to be about even here. Storm has been the favorite face all year to get back the title. Ray had been dwindling for a few months before finally hitting his stride in the series. There is a chance Ray could win the title right after BFG. But for now I'm sticking with Storm.

 

[KettleFace]

I think Ray takes this one, and goes on to beat Hardy in the Finals. With all the build-up surrounding Storm and Aces & Eights and what not, I can see Storm getting screwed out of this match by Roode, which'll set up a Roode-Storm grudge match at BFG. If this is the way they go, then I'd be completely fine with Aries-Ray at BFG for the title. Either way, I'm 99% sure that whoever wins this match will take the Series. Bully Ray to win this.
