What’s the Worst That Could Happen? Impact Wrestling, 10/10

TNA Says:

The countdown continues to TNA’s biggest event of the year – “Bound For Glory” on October 20! How will Magnus prepare for his BFG bout against “The Icon” Sting? Plus – X Division Champion Manik, Austin Aries, Jeff Hardy and Chris Sabin get ready for the Ultimate X Match! MORE matches will be announced on Thursday’s broadcast!

Best Case Scenario: Magnus cuts a still-babyface promo about what it would mean for him to beat Sting at BFG. He clearly establishes that a victory would propel him into the top tier of TNA without playing up the whole “I’ve been a screw-up” angle that has played out over the last two weeks. Each of the Ultimate X competitors cuts a short Royal Rumble-style promo explaining why he is the man to watch at Bound For Glory. The babyfaces (Manik and Hardy) have short squash matches to shine them up as the favorites to win.

Worst Case Scenario: Magnus and Sting come to the ring together, but as they talk about their match, the “intensity boils over,” leading to the two of them brawling, thus exposing everything Sting can possibly do in a match other than the Stinger Splash, the Death Drop, and the Scorpion Deathlock. Teddy Long debuts in TNA and sets up a babyface vs. heel tag match featuring the Ultimate X competitors to give us “a little taste of Bound For Glory, playa’!”

Dave Says: Last week, these two matches were put together to anchor the midcard of Bound For Glory. These are really intriguing match-ups, but TNA are fools if they think these are their Undertaker and Money in the Bank matches at Wrestlemania, so to speak.
