TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
BULLY RAY (c) vs. AJ STYLES
Mike Killam: Dixie Carter getting involved in stories just doesn't interest me. Too many of them have been terrible. Her record with AJ Styles is atrocious. This whole whiny, self-righteous ego trip character is frustrating, because you just know TNA is trying to play off the image the IWC paints for her. It's worse because not only is she trying to be Stephanie McMahon, she even mentioned how much better she is than the McMahon family in one of her promos. It's very, very unnecessary, because by putting herself in the middle of the spotlight for Bound for Glory, she's basically saying TNA has no faith in Bully Ray and AJ Styles to carry their own story. Bully Ray, the best thing to happen to TNA since Bobby Roode, and AJ Styles, the guy with a year-long build to this match and a TNA original, can't carry their own weight in the main event program? Bullshit.
AJ Styles should win here to put the final nail in the Aces & Eights coffin. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ken Anderson play a part, maybe even including Bischoff and Knux to completely turn on Bully Ray. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Dixie get involved, and Hulk Hogan make a "surprise" return to put over Styles.
klunderbunker: As usual the BFG Series determines the main event of the show and as usual that creates a problem due to a lack of personal reasons for the guys to be fighting. This feels like a pit stop before we get to more of AJ vs. Dixie, which makes me wonder why I should bother caring what happens here. AJ is likely to win, but there's no way he does it cleanly.
Rated R Nightmare: I'm looking forward to this one. The storybook ending would be AJ overcoming the odds and winning the World Title but due to this No DQ stip added, I'm not sold on him getting the belt anymore. There is a handful of people who might get involved in this one including EC3, Aces & Eights and Dixie Carter, odds are at least some of them do. In the end I'll take AJ winning due to Knux and Garrett turning on Bully.
