How is it not decent enough to main event BFG? For the love of God, 2005 was set to be Jeff Jarrett vs. Kevin Nash! Yes, two WELL established... well known talents. On paper, that would've been HUGE! Not Kurt Angle vs. Elijah Burke, or Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Kennedy. Think of Bound For Glory as WrestleMania. Are you going to see Triple H vs. Drew McIntyre, to headline WrestleMania 27? Hell no, McIntyre isn't established enough. Much like Anderson and Dinero. One of the many reasons TNA is still looked at by many as a "glorified indy promotion". They don't have that person to put with the likes of Angle, for a big match... that'll produce. Besides Styles, which we don't wanna see for 93rd time. Point is, if it's Angle/Anderson or Angle/Dinero... I, for one, will not be ordering Bound For Glory. As either main event would be lackluster. - Triple S |

So basically, you want TNA to do the exact same thing people constantly complain about? That makes sense...

So basically, you want TNA to do the exact same thing people constantly complain about? That makes sense... I cant speak for everyone....but this is your biggest ppv of the year. You dont put guys into the marquee match on your biggest ppv that arent ready for that spot. |

Rhyno won a battle royal the night of the PPV and beat Jarrett for the belt. |

I'm not basing anything off of internet rumors, Nash vs. Jarrett was going to be the main event of "Bound for Glory", it has nothing to do with "internet rumors". Yes, which is the same exact thing people complain about. Plus, I don't see how you say that Anderson isn't ready for the spot. Anderson is a lot more ready for the spot than Hardy is when you really look at it. Hardy is very sloppy and can't work a microphone to save his life while Anderson is solid in the ring and has already had great matches with Angle and is also brilliant on the microphone. Anderson/Angle will sell pay-per-views, I don't see how you can argue with the fact Anderson isn't "ready" for that spot. Samoa Joe main eventide Bound for Glory in 2008 with Sting, nobody argued he wasn't ready for that spot. Anderson is ready wether some people want to believe it or not. I don't see what the big fuss is over the fact Hardy isn't in the main event. |

I don't see what the big fuss is over the fact Hardy isn't in the main event. I'll take your guys words for it that it was originally scheduled. But like I said before.....its irrelevant. In 2005, was BFG even considered their big ppv of the year? I honestly dont recall. Maybe they didnt have one. Anderson is ready?! C'mon man! TNA has done crap with the guy. They havent built him as a credible main eventer to have him main eventing BFG. Its not a knock on Anderson....its a knock on TNA. And to say he had great matches with Angle....so what?! Angle ha great matches with a paperbag. Joe main evented against Sting.....b/c Joe was built as a credible main eventer. Joe was ready for that spot. Anderson is not. For whatever reason, you just wont accept that Jeff is more over than anyone in TNA. It is what it is. Whether you like him or his style or think he is a horrid wrestler or whatever. He is THE marquee name in TNA. Look at Cena in WWE. He is THE marquee name. He sells the merch. and thus he main events. Yeah, he isnt a great wrestler....he isnt even a good wrestler. But for whatever reason, he does business for them. Thus, 90% of the shows get centered around him. You may want Anderson in the main event. You may think he has been built up as a credible challenger and yes, he is definitely over.......but the guy isnt as big as Jeff Hardy. And besides, I think Anderson is going to lose to Pope anyway. Yes, I would rather see Angle/Anderson.....as like I said before, Pope has been lost in the shuffle since he returned. But I got a feeling TNA is just so high on Pope.....that this is the match they will want. |

I don't see what the big fuss is over the fact Hardy isn't in the main event. The problem with Anderson is that he doesn't draw. If I could pick the BFG main event, it'd be one of the following: Kurt Angle/AJ Styles/Samoa Joe: World Title Samoa Joe/AJ Styles: World Title Samoa Joe/Kurt Angle/Jeff Hardy: World Title |

Samoa Joe shouldn't be near the main event of anything.

Hopefully they add MCMG versus London Calling for the titles. The promos setting up that match could be really good. Personally, I want to see Anderson win the tournament, although I'm pretty confident it's going to be Angle.

Yes, so let's put the belt on someone who has pending drug charges that could easily be locked away in a few months. Genius. Whats funny is knowing the legal system and the way its setup........clearly Jeff aint going in front of a judge till next year. The defense will just keep dragging it and dragging and dragging it out. The longer it drags out.....the better for Jeff. By the time he gets in front of a judge for his actual trial.....he would have had 2 Title reigns. LOL!!! Beats putting the title on a guy who only has 75 dates booked in his contract and each additional date costs 10K. P.S. I am not advocating for Jeff to have the title.....at least not till he can escape his pending trial. |

I'm glad they added London Brawling/MCMG like I wanted. Dreamer & AJ has potential, but I'm not sure if Dreamer can do what he once could. I didn't get to see Hard(core) Justice, and the only other time was him & Abyss I think, so I'm not sure what he's capable of.

That guy is right, Anderson isn't ready. On PPV, he beat Abyss, lost to Pope in the main event, lost both pay-per-view matches to Kurt Angle, lost to Jeff Hardy, won a tag match with Jeff Hardy, and lost the Fatal Four Way. They have done a terrible job building him up. He hasn't gone over anybody besides his forgettable AAO match with Kurt Angle.
