The TNA Bound For Glory audience in the photos above looks like when you go to a stadium to watch a game and like 4 hours before the game they have the lower leagues play in the pre match games.
You usually have the hardcore fans at these games who like watching the youth team plays and it looks exactly like the above photos do.

Magnus v Sting confused me. Sting looked hugely out of shape and should be used once or twice a year as a special attraction based on that performance. Shame, cos I'm a massive Sting fan. The ending, seemed out of nowhere and I didn't expect it at all. Roode v Angle was a cracker, the ending again was a bit sour, and despite what everyone has said I kind of liked the lifting the arm for it to land on the rope. Seemed 'different.' Without a doubt the best match of the night. In fact, each match seemed to be ruined by the ending! X Division was a very meh finish, especially as main event guys hadn't had opportunity to play out any spots and the main event itself seemed disjointed. It wasn't the best ppv ever but nor was it the worst. In saying that though there are more that were better than those that are worse. For example, I think it was a huge amount better than Mania XI In my opinion, as poor as some of the matches were, it shows they have credible wrestlers to put on a show, just not decent enough writers to join up the gaps. Time for the monkeys and the typewriters.....

It's from the old adage, possibly a British saying If you get a room full of monkeys and give them all a typewriter, eventually they'll write the complete works of Shakespeare.
Basically, a room full of monkeys in time could write a better script than the current TNA creative.
I still haven't given up on TNA

I still haven't given up on TNA I don't know why but I read it as you having a go at people for their opinion, sorry about that.

I thought BFG was fine. Not great, but not at all bad. UX was a bit of a letdown but had its moments, the Tag Title match was 100x better than I thought it would be, Styles/Bully wasnt as great as their Slammiversary encounter but it was still good (plus it had that INSANE AJ bump, legit holy shit moment), and Angle/Roode was fantastic. Plus, EC3/Fernum was a MOTYC. I dont know, maybe I just have radically different taste than most people here, but I enjoyed it.

Roode/Angle was all kinds of goodness, no doubt. I actually liked UX. Everything else though...to me, it came off like any thing that could be done wrong was done wrong. Still, if others enjoyed it, more power to them.

Still, if others enjoyed it, more power to them. Styles had his year long redemption storyline culminate with winning the world title clean despite odds stacked against him. Even if you didn't like the match quality, the fact that they spent a year building up to a particular end game and actually followed through on it should at least put it a notch above Hell in a Cell.

In my mind, it really doesn't. Mainly because by the time they got to the end, I didn't give a shit about AJ Styles or the Aces & Eights and wasn't emotionally invested at all in the payoff. It also doesn't help that I really hated the main event and thought it was the perfect example of overbooking gone wrong.

Did they even allude to that? I was there and nobody mentioning the match even mentioned this was the only way he could have earned a title match. It's like TNA knew the finish of BFG last December, but forgot how they were supposed to get there. Then Dixie or Hogan saw a CM Punk clip on youtube sometime in August and went from there.
