Bound For Glory: Hits and Misses

So I just got finished watching Bound For Glory IV A.K.A Bound For Glory 2008 A.K.A. TNA's Wrestlemania. I decided to order the PPV on the knowledge that Bound For Glory tends to deliver in big ways. I was sort of disappointed in the show until the Monsters Ball and the show seemed to just get better and better from there. Now lets take a look at the night with a "Hit and Miss" format that I will be trying out.

The Steel Asylum Match: No surprise that this match started off the show. Its a proven point that starting out a TNA PPV with an X- Division match is a great Idea. Some were expecting Suicide's debut in this match but we didn't get him.

We did get however a very good opening bout with some awesome spots. The Guns really shined in this match with their constant double teaming. Another guy who did very well was Johnny Devine. That pile driver on Rave was sick. Curry Man takes the huge fall and the two men actually in a feud get into it. Lethal takes the victory in this one earning himself what felt like an unannounced Title Shot.

Overall I would have to say this is a HIT.

Foley in Corenette's Office:  There were quite a few of these segments so I will just group them together. I love Foley so I was just loving these segments. I marked out for a mention of Yurpal(sp?) the Clown. Anyway these segments were definitely a HIT. P.S: I too would rather be in Velvet.

Bimbo Brawl: This was the only match on the card that I thought wasn't worthy of the PPV. No weapons were used in the match If I am not mistaken and I just wish Rhino had something better to do then this. Sadly this one was a MISS.

Consequences Creed Promo: Good promo by Creed here. It was a good Idea to mention his TNA debut last year at Bound For Glory. Putting the Patriotic factor in this match made in worthy of the PPV. Creed made me believe he could become champion. HIT.

X-Divison Championship Match: Very good match between the two men here. Nice to see the crowd really getting behind Creed. Some nice spots that I am too tired to recall at the moment. Im becoming a fan of Creed and was rooting for him to win.

I really thought Creed was going to get the win tonight but as long as we see him get the title down the road then I am fine with Bashir holding onto the title. Bashir vs Machismo will probably take place at Turning Point which is a match I would like to see. HIT.

TNA Knockouts Championship: These three women should tonight why TNA has the best women's division in wrestling. The cross body by Kong was pretty cool and that chop to the chest of Roxxi was brutal. I really wanted to see Kong hit that splash but it set up for a good finish.

Taylor Wilde hits Roxxi with her Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge and grabs another victory. It will be interesting to see where TNA takes the Knockouts Title from here. HIT.
