TNA Bound For Glory Shows the Writing Skills WWE Lacks

Well, TNA's biggest pay-per-view of the year, Bound For Glory, is upon us.

As much as I hate to admit it, they built up for it magnificently.

Honestly, how long has it been since we have seen a WWE storyline that had a long-term build?

Ages.

It seems nowadays that the WWE comes up with stuff on the spot without a second thought. It's quite frustrating to see repetitive Orton-Cena-HHH storylines for the past three years.

And let's not forget the feud of the summer: Chavo vs. Hornswoggle!

One of the many aspects of the WWE that makes the die-hard wrestling fan complain is the lack of fresh ideas. And as soon as they had something new, they threw in that big lump of steroids called Batista to ruin it.

Every WWE feud we have seen for the past three years seems to be disorganized, as if they need stupid rubbish just to fill up their scripts.

And one of the main reasons why young talent never seem to get their deserving pushes is because if their name is not John Cena, Dave Batista, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Randy Orton, The Undertaker, Jeff Hardy or Shawn Michaels, they will never get into a storyline.

We have all seen it; all the mid-carders just get thrown into filler matches and random tag-team or six-man tag matches.

I remember seeing a young man named Kurt Angle making his debut just 10 years ago. I was seven years old. He was immediately noticed as a future star and thus was put into feuds with big names such as Austin, Rocky, 'Taker and other main-eventers.

The WWE needs to have more organized storylines that seem to be studied.

We all remember the big disappointment that was WrestleMania 25.

Not one match seemed to have been built as a big deal (with the exception of 'Taker vs. Michaels). They all seemed to be randomly assembled where each superstar was put in a match that suited him.

This brings me to my original subject: TNA's Bound For Glory.

When you take a look at the matches that are going to take place Oct. 18, you have to admit that the creative team did not just randomly throw together a card. They worked hard all year to make the matches make sense.

Two announced matches for Bound For Glory show that TNA was planning the event for a long time.

The TNA title match of AJ Styles vs. Sting is the first.

On last year's Bound For Glory, Sting beat Samoa Joe to become the World Heavyweight Champion once again.

Since then, he became a member of the newly created stable called The Main Event Mafia along with Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Booker T, and Kevin Nash.

They claimed to deserve all of TNA's glory because they are the big names of TNA, sparking a feud with the young superstars who called themselves The Frontline. The group was led by AJ Styles and Samoa Joe.

The Main Event Mafia claimed that they wanted to teach the younger superstars respect, while The Frontline claimed that the veterans were hogging the attention and did not know when to step aside and pass the torch.  

AJ Styles was the first to challenge Sting at Turning Point for the TNA World Title to no avail.

The feud between The Frontline and The Main Event Mafia continued.
