[Professor Chaos]

This event is sure to be a happening.

I could get tickets to this but current cost to enjoyment ratio rules that out. Curious to see the card and what deals they'll have as we get closer.

[king1836]

I want to see Eric Young vs. Bobby Roode! They have a lot of history together!

[ZombieElvis]

I'm hoping Bully gets a match with the stipulation that if he wins he gets to put Dixie Carter through a table. Bully vs. EC III or EC III/Spud. It would be a great way to write off Dixie forever and that would make everyone happy.

Wonder if TNA will remember they have a TV title since Abyss won the belt at last years Slammiversary.

[king1836]

How about this : a 30 minute Iron Man match between Sanada and Austin Aries!

Since they're in the Dallas area:

Percent chance that the Cowboys 4th string DT and/or Long Snapper makes an appearance: 93.6

They'll bring the ex-Cowboys player that was engaged to Brooke Hogan, dumped her and just retired from the NFL.

In my opinion Slammiversary should be pushed as the TNA big event of the year and not Bound For Glory

Slammiversary has a better name and a better 'feel' to it. It gave us one of TNA's best matches in recent years (Joe vs Aries) and has the announcement of the Hall Of Fame.

Long(ish) way off but what matches are we expecting?

For some reason I see Knux v Magnus, no idea why!

I've been saying that for years.

Bound for Glory sounds like it should be their Royal Rumble, where stuff gets setup for their biggest show of the year, not their biggest show of the year.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I suspect Bound for Glory is the premiere TNA event because of its positioning on the calendar. It's far away from all of WWE's Big Three Events, well after any post-Mania momentum. Too bad TNA was founded in June.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I must say, I like that poster a lot.

[comahan]

Love the poster and the EY/MVP match graphic. Rare occurrence of TNA graphics looking great.

[king1836]

If Gunner is not in Slammiversary, then I will not order it!

[Emmet Russell]

I'm with most people here; the poster is quite grand and they are continuing to do a great job building up EY to be a focal point of their company. They're doing a great job towards undoing all the damage they did to Eric with the decade of stupid gimmicks. Magnus' reign was a complete disaster so it's pretty cool to see a champion who's actually proving to be a worthy champion. A welcome change.

[HMARK Center]

They really need to tread carefully with the main event, here.

The last two really big storyline PPV's for TNA were Bound for Glory and Lockdown. Both had undercards with some good stuff on them, and Lockdown in particular was looking like it'd be one of the better shows of the year.

Yet each time they made such messes of the main event that they overbooked the reaction out of the crowds there, and just deflated everything, leaving a sour after taste.

They kept things simple last time when EY vs. Magnus, and while I'm sure there'll be storyline stuff here they need to take it easy and play it simple. Have EY and MVP wrestle a solid, competitive match, save just about any shenanigans for afterward. Let the crowd actually have a cathartic release before you do anything to ruin a main event moment.

[king1836]

Eric Young needs to win cleanly.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Legit question. Do people actually pay for TNA ppvs? I'm not shitting on TNA or trying to be negative. TNA airs it's ppv's for free here in Ireland so I'm just curious.

By all accounts very very few purchase them. I think the best they ever did was 60K for Joe/Angle at Lockdown 08. That is one reason they were so keen on dropping down to 4 live PPVs, the lose so much on them that they would either cut their loses drastically or by having fewer, they would mean more and draw more.
