Triple H, October 2011:

“When I grew up, I hated Hogan. I thought he was terrible and didn’t like to watch him. I was like Punk in a way. I liked the Steamboats and Flairs and the ones that could go. Would I be right in saying that Hogan was the wrong guy to go with, and they should’ve changed directions and gone with Steamboat because he was the better wrestler? Ludicrous.” - Triple H. October, 2011.

TNA 2014 Bound for Glory

Saturday, April 11, 2015


Slammiversay is here.    TNA's last PPV is Bound for Glory from Tokyo.  
TNA World Title: Low Ki d. James Storm
X Title: Samoa Joe d. Minoru Tanaka
Tags: Dudleys d. Sanada/Muta
Kaz Hayashi d. Kazma
Tajiri d. MVP
Dreamer d. Abyss
TJ Perkins d. EC3
Jiro Kuroshio/Yusuke Kodama d. Andy Wu and El Hijo del Pantera

We end our look at TNA with Bound for Glory; the dominant storyline in 2014 has been faction warfare; following the two opening matches, we have Dreamer, from Future Endeavors beat one of the TNA originals, Abyss, in a garbage match.  Probably, that wraps up Dreamer in the Counterfactual.  Kaz and his protegee Kazma join Team Muta in this build - but Kazma swerves Kaz and joins Future Endeavors; he pays for that here.  Tajiri doesn't join FE, despite pressure to so do - and he beats MVP.  

The Dudleys, reunited, regain the tag belts for FE, The Horsemen are in the two singles title matches, Joe keeps the X belt in the best match of the night, going over Minoru Tanaka - and then a TNA original, the first ever TNA Champion, Low Ki - ends TNA's final PPV by beating Storm from the Horsemen and recapturing the belt.

As TNA is no longer a quarterly live PPV promotion; their real world lineage takes over upon the return of Impact to TV in 2015; on that first show, they switch all of the belts to their real world holders, and going foward, real world TNA (like ROH or PWG or really, the rest of the world that isn't WWE) now exists.  

I'll be back in May with some extra stuff, then June is the Battle Royal to determine the number one contender for Summer Slam 2014, we'll finish the build in July - and August will be that event.

I heard Impact Wrestling/TNA are doing okay, but it can't keep up with AEW and WWE when it comes to the roster as the Knockouts division is the good highlight while as Josh Alexander needs Magnus and bigger names in order for his title reign to not suck as Bob Backlund's early 80's WWF title run.
