Mother f***ing awesome. In a month I've gone from being down on TNA to being cautiously optimistic to being jazzed to the hilt about their product. BFG cemented the latter.
I'm a fan of good matches AND sports entertainment, and TNA provided both the matches and fresher sports entertainment then what the McMahons are doing. Unless they really bungle up the next few Impacts, I'm sold.

This show was what TNA PPVs should be, and surprising as hell considering the reported backstage turmoil/power plays headed in. Great atmosphere, great matches, nobody was beat over the head with overbooking.
Joe-Christian was very, very good, felt like a classic 1989 NWA Flair-type match to me. Easily the best Christian Cage singles match I've ever seen. Angle-Sting was surprisingly good (never been a huge Sting fan), and FAR surpassed my expectations, even with the run-ins. The TNA Knockouts match, XXX-LAX, AJ/Tomko-Team Pacman, and Lethal-Daniels were solid work, and Steiners-Team 3D was fun for what it was (and the Steiners rightfully went over).
Thumbs up. Just my opinion, but this show was as close as a "10" you can get nowadays in mainstream American wrestling. Maybe the standards for mainstream wrestling have gotten low (due to TNA and WWE screwing up), but this was a really cool show, and very fun to watch. I'd put that three hours of wrestling against almost anything else around right now. Workrate-wise, it isn't ROH or NOAH, but for once, TNA finally looked like a major alternative to WWE (even if they're a long ways away). For once, TNA could put every match on their show (even "Fight For the Right" after the first stage) head-to-head against anything Vince ever offers, and say that it's better. Even on a night where we saw Amazing Kong's exposed upper half and Kurt Angle accidentally hit Sting in the face as hard as he could with a real baseball bat, TNA's wrestlecrap quotient was at a minimum.
BFG seemed almost as if TNA finally decided it was as sick of it sucking as the rest of us are. With the talent TNA has, they can get better than BFG, but it was definitely a step in the right direction.

You didnt even watch the show. Seriously, youre going into every TNA thread and saying the show was awful when you just followed it online. Agreed. Just shut the smurf up and whack off hoping a chubby Chris Jericho is the answer to the ROH riddle ripoff. Was that really necessary?

Sounds like a good PPV to me. I've booked it and am waiting for the 8:30pm replay so I can watch it in full

Just watching the pre-show, and the promo for the Knockouts match was on. All I have to say is goddamn, Christie Hemme looked hot!

8/10 That's the greatest .gif I've ever seen. Just... wow. Wow. Gotta save that one, that's rich. As for the PPV, I loved it and ordered it as well and don't regret it one bit. Just as good as last year's BFG. Gave it a 9/10.

TNA really knows how to deliver at Bound for Glory. Like I said elsewhere, EASILY the best TNA PPV I've seen so far.
10/10.

I gave it a 7. I didn't like the main event but I enjoyed seeing my Shelly Martinez back on TV.
