Official Bound For Glory 2014 Thread

[DjZonk]

If this card happen, I'm predicting a card filled with mostly Wrestle 1 wrestlers.

[Push R Truth]

Well I suppose it's time for a serious question. As of tomorrow we'll be one month away and has anything besides that poster been confirmed or even really talked about?

They've confirmed some of the wrestlers from TNA & Wrestle-1 that will be there.

You'd bloody well hope that some of them would be there.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

I have LOW hopes for this being a "big PPV" as they call it years past. To many people that matter have left. I don't know if Jeff Hardy will be there because while I know he could never do the UK stuff he has gone to japan. One of the matches rumored was 3D vs. Hardys vs. The Wolves but that was before one of the wolves broke his leg.

The World title match is going to be meh? because in the NY tappings Lashley faced all the best challengers. Hardy, Roode, Joe, and Aries. So that most see match isn't there either. So who is left that going to make me say I got to see this and order it?

Davey said he should be ready to go by then(that's just what he said, don't know exactly) & Jeff can apparently work in Japan, so he should be there & Bully will probably do that match since he'll at least be there for the HOF induction. Also, I don't have the highest expectations for this ppv either, due to all the circumstances that have happened over the last few months hurting it.

It would be cool if Wrestle-1 had the roster depth like NJPW had when them did supershows with WCW back in the day.

[Pillman's Pencil]

I presume they are going with Havok vs Gail Kim for the KO title with the way the story is going right now.

[bluemeii]

Well we should all know the fallout from BFG some time next week anyway.

<shrugs> IDK kinda takes the sting out of the show for me personally. They really need to start confirming some matches soon. What is it 5 shows to go?

[Pillman's Pencil]

BFG has nearly sold out in 1 day, Japanese people love it when American promotions are in town plus the Wrestle-1 Muta connection helps, so it's not surprising.

Early sales for TNA Bound For Glory are said to be very encouraging. That event will be in Tokyo, Japan in October.

With Bound For Glory airing on pay-per-view in the United States hours after it happens in Japan, the show may be taped and transmitted to TNA’s studios in Nashville with just the crowd sound. Mike Tenay and Taz may end up doing voice-overs from Nashville to cut some of the production costs.

Tickets
special 7000 yen - $65
ringside 5000 yen -$47
seats 4000 yen - $38

Capacity 1800-2000

I bet they're now butthurt they could of used a bigger venue, not a great business decision but they weren't to know I suppose plus the UK Tour will make up for it.

Muta's the one footing the bill and booked the arena for BFG. TNA at this point would be happy if he booked them in a Roppongi karaoke Lounge. And when it comes to puroresu ticket sells, the Yakuza owns that business. Once they get their cut, Muta get his and TNA the remnants.

[Emmet Russell]

This will either be one of the entertaining shows of the year, or one of the most boring. I don't see there being a middle ground.

I'm almost expecting there to be no matches announced at all and the whole event turning into a Bellator show with Tito Ortiz against Lashley in the main event. That's about as realistic as any other possible matches for the show at the moment.

[Rick Mad]

I just realized that in the next few days TNA will be taping the Impacts that air AFTER Bound For Glory.

So there are 0 chances for surprises if you read Impact spoilers. And at these tapings they'll be referencing stuff that hasn't even happened yet? I don't know.

Yakuza: So you say this TNA Bound For Glory show will deliver?
Muta: Yes. I asure you it will not fail.
Yakuza: Well it better or else....
Muta: *reads about TNAs current problems and slowly puts down paper* oh shit....

There was a report this past week that Tickets for Bound for Glory on 10/12 at Korakuen Hall were sold out, but Keiji Muto said that the reports of that being sold out were due to a computer glitch and tickets were still available.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Guess the Yakuza turned down Muta's request for a loan and he got to save face.

I wonder if there will be a promoter dumb enough to put on a reunion show in a few years. 

I have always hated the company but TNA reunion show, booked by almost anyone else, could be extremely entertaining. Unlike some of the talent in the other reunions TNA's core roster isn't quite over the hill and could still put on a hell of a show in a couple years.

Come 2017 or so I'd watch a one-off show with Joe vs Styles vs Daniels, Roode vs Anderson, Bubba vs Lashley, MCMGs vs Bucks, Aries vs Kazarian, Gail/Mickie vs Tara/ODB and a huge X-Division clusterf*** with guys like Dutt, Red, Shark Boy & Daivari.

The talent's never been lacking as far as I'm concerned. It's just the long-term booking. That's one of the reasons I despise the place and hope it goes away after BFG. It's a cesspool that takes talent I love and makes me not even care to watch them.

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

This is pretty much just going to be a non-canon and inconsequential PPV isn't it?

[Steveweiser]

Reports I'm reading are that due to how they've booked title matches in the recent tapings in Bethlehem, there will be no title matches at BFG, which is now just three weeks away. Incredible how piss poor a job they've done with this.

Wow. BFG, which you call your WM, having no title matches. Well done.
