Jeremy Borash: Hi Im JB, Jeremy Borash and welcome to the Bound For Glory Before the Bell preview. Over the next hour Ill show you why Boound For Glory IS the premier professional wrestling event in the world. This year will be the biggest yet with all of the titles being contested and all of your favourite and biggest superstars converge to battle it out to be the very best in the world. Earlier in the week I caught up with the reigning and defending Heavyweight Champion of the World Desmond Wolfe and had a very exclusive chat with him about being champ and Bound For Glory.
The video cuts to a room and we have Wolfe and Chelsea and JB sitting in chairs with the giant BFG posters behind them.
JB: Thank you very much for joining me today Champ, how are you?
Wolfe: Im 100% Borash thanks for asking. With this gold belt around my waist, Ive never been better. I cant wait for Bound For Glory its going to be a very special night for Desmond Wolfe.
JB: Desmond everyone heer in TNA and all around the world were blown away when you toppled Samoa Joe for the title. No one thought Joe could be beaten, he was unstoppable and it seemed he was going to walk into Bound For Glory as Champ. But things all changed when you stepped up to the plate and got the three count. What was that like.
Wolfe: Borash, I had no doubt in my mind goin into Victory Road that I was walking out the World Champion. Ya see I had studied Joe ever since he took the belt. And I studied Joe every time he made a defence of the belt. But his time was coming, His fighting champion ways were going to catch up to him at some stage, and it was the Wolfe who was goingt o pick the bones.
JB: So you were sort of waiting in the wings for when you thought Joe was at his most vulnerable? He was carrying a lot of injuries into Victory Road and
Wolfe: Lets get one thing straight, I beat Joe because I was the better man sunshine. Samoa Joe is everything he says he is. Tough, powerful, submission expert, technically brilliant, can even fly through the air. But guess what, I beat him, I dominated him. I showed the World that Desmond Wolfe is the very best this business has ever seen, and if the belt is not proof enough, beating Joe for it says it all. Was Joe injured? I dont care. I took his head off and pinned his shoulders. And now I am the Champ.
JB: So Bound For Glory is coming up and Jeff Jarrett has named you two opponents. Do you have a strategy going in and wha
Wolfe: Listen up Borash, giving me a triple threat match at BFG is an absolute disgrace. The BFG main event should be about the very best in this business locking heads to see who can be called number one. Jarrett can not handle how good I am and even though its all signed now, Im just going to have to beat both Joe and Angle and show him and show the world that I am the best.
JB: Lets talk about Jo..
Wolfe: Let me tell you something Borash and everyone watching this on telly. When I beat Samoa Joe, the former Champ. Thats right Joe, youre da former champ because of me. And the greatest wrestler of all time whatever, Mr Kurt Mangled. People will be talking about this match for years to come because I will put them both down as become the best athlete going today. Forget Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps or AJ Styles or Sting or Kurt Angle or Samoa Joe or any of those wankers. Desmond Wolfe is the Heavyweight Champion of the World. The World, Borash! And I will still be after Bound For Glory.

We go back to Jeremy in the studio as he runs down the Bound For Glory card
World Champion Desmond Wolfe vs. Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe
The World Tag Champions the Motor City Machine Guns vs. Kid Kash and Gunner
X Division Champion Austin Aries vs. Petey Williams.
Knockouts Champion Alissa Flash vs Gail Kim.
AJ Styles vs. Matt Morgan
Rob Van Dam vs. The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels
10 Man Monsters Ball match MVP vs. James Storm vs. Shawn Hernandez vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Robert Roode vs. Chris Masters vs. Abyss vs. Kazarian vs. The Pope vs. Magnus
Bryan Danielson vs. Senshi
And
Jeff Hardy vs. Sting
Jeremy says that Desmond Wolfe arguably has already carved his name into TNA even though he has only been Champion for just over a month. But can he withstand both Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle to retain the title? We will no doubt see this Sunday Live on pay per view.
He then talks about the X Division Championship, the corner stone of TNA, the building block that made the company what it is today. Over the years the Division has had the very best wrestlers in the World hold its Championship, such as AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Low Ki, Jerry Lynn, Frankie Kazarian and even the current challenger has been Champion before, Petey Williams.
Petey has been on a tear this year ripping apart the very fabric of the company with his Pro-Canadian tirades and using his pile driver to take out superstars. One in particular Kurt Angle. The USA vs. Canada war went to a whole new level when Petey almost crippled the Olympic Gold medallist. But now he ahs set his sights on a different gold wearer, the X Division Champion Austin Aries.
Aries has been the man to beat in the Division for a very long time and went to war with at the time Champion Low Ki in an absolute war that ended up putting both men on the shelf. Aries fought back from the injury and defeated Kazarian for the interim title and then unified the Championship last month finally defeating low Ki and realising his dream as X Division Champion. We now go to an exclusive interview with the Champ to discuss his upcoming bout for the gold.
JB: Thanks for joining us Champ, how are you feeling these days?
AA: Im feeling good thanks, yeah, Ive worked past all those injuries and come Bound For Glory Ill be the best shape Ive been in for a long while. If Williams thinks hes going to be taking on someone who is not at 100% hes dead wrong.
JB: Lets talk about Petey Williams, he has got to be one of the most dangerous men to step into the squared circle today. Are you at all worried that not only could he take your title, but take your career. He stated on the last episode of Impact he is going to take the title and your ability to walk.
AA: Williams is dangerous, there is no denying that, but A Double is even more so. I went through hell to get this, my wars with Low Ki to finally become the Champion are now part of TNA folklore. I will do anything to retain this title, and if that is breaking his neck before he does mine so be it. The thing Petey Williams doesnt seem to get is that just because Im faster than a speeding bullet and can leap tall buildings in a single bound, doesnt make me a saint, doesnt make me a superhero. I am just as capable as ending his career, with a well placed Brain buster. This title belongs to me now, and Petey as good as he is, as dangerous as he is, is not going to take it from me.
JB: Do you see Petey having any weaknesses that you might be able to exploit this Sunday?
AA: Thats a simple one JB, his arrogance. He has some God-complex simply because he comes from Canada and has a dangerous finishing move. But what happens if I break his arm, break his legs? How good will his finisher be then? You see JB the difference between the X Division and every other Division is this. Its about no limits, its about in order to win an X Division match you have to win the match. There is no Champions advantage. And this is what makes me the Greatest Man that Ever Lived. This is why Im the X Division Champion, because Im going to come at him, full force, with everything I have until I have my hand raised. Im going to take it to him non-stop, break him down and retain the Championship in the match of the night. Because thats what I do. Petey Williams lives by the sword, well at Bound For Glory he is going to die by the sword, courtesy of the X Division Champion of the World, A Double.

We return to the BFG Preview show as Jeremy Borash introduces his commentary partner Mike Tenay. The Professor thanks JB for having him. JB says that this BFG is full of main events, they have of course the World ttile on the line with three of the very best in the world going head to head in Wolfe, Joe and Angle, they have the X title on the line with Aries taking on Petey Williams the Machine Guns defending the tag belts and Alissa Flash defending the Knockouts Championship, but what about this blood feud between Sting and the Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling, Jeff Hardy.
MT: JB, we expect big matches at BFG and this one has got to be, without a title being involved, the biggest we have seen. The former Champion, field marshall of Hulk Hogans Immortal group 12 months ago, the Chosen one of the gang to lead TNA to the promised land Hogan and Bischoff said time and time again, has returned after his exilie after The Unbreakable 3 sent him and Hogan, Bischoff and everyone else packing all that time ago. The Unbreakable 3 backed by the TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett closed the book on that time in TNA, but Hardy came back fro revenge and it seems he plans to burn down the whole promotion, but he knows there is one man that could very well stand in his way, so he is proactively going after Sting, to take him out so he can carry out his plans of revenge.
JB: And so weve seen Sting return after having really nothing left to prove in the sport to come back one last time perhaps to help defend TNA. To answer Hardys challenge.
MT: Thats right JB, The Icon, who I have known for years will not stand by while Hardy tries to destroy something that he loves and help build with Jeff Jarrett in one form or another. So it is great to see that Jarrett will be in Stings corner, because James Mitchell will no doubt be in Hardys.
JB: This clash of the titans has so many implications, so Ive gotta ask you Mike, if Sting fails to beat hardy. If he loses, if he does what he has sworn to do and thats end Stings career. What does that mean for TNA?
MT: Im not sure exactly what Hardy and Mitchell have on their minds, but It could mean some dark days for the company. We have the very best wrestlers in the world here, and because of that we have the most prestigious titles in the business. If hardy wins, could what Austin Aries and Petey Williams go through on Sunday be all for nought? Whoever walks out the World Heavyweight Champion, defeating not one but two of the very best this business has ever seen mean a damn, if Hardy ends Stings career and tries to destroy the company. I really dont know where it may lead and all we can hope for is Sting being victorious at BFG.
JB: Mike, Sting is one of the greatest of all time, he is an icon, he is a multi-time World Champion. But he hasnt wrestled in a very long time, and he is going up against the most self-destructive and lets face it sick and twisted individuals in TNA. Jeff Hardy has made a living off of using his body as a weapon to get a victory. He is younger, he is faster, he has had more ring time lately and is more vicious than ever before. Does Sting even realistically have a chance?
MT: Like I said JB, Ive known Sting for a very long time. I would never count him out. But Hardy is indeed in a league of his own right now. As a colleague and I count myself as a friend of Stings and I have to say I do fear for his safety and this companys. Hardy says hes the devil, well on Sunday he might just be that.

Back in the studio JB says that Bound For Glory will be the biggest event in TNA history and as it is broadcast live all over the world, millions will see such huge clashes such as Matt Morgan, the 7 foot giant taking on the Phenomenal One AJ Styles. Bryan Danielson and Low Ki will go to war and Christopher Daniels and Rob Van Dam could very well steal the show. The of course there will be the signature match of any BFG, the Monsters Ball Match, that will see an unprecedented ten men fighting it out for a World title shot..
