What’s The Worst That Could Happen? Impact Wrestling, 8/29

TNA Says:

Three HUGE “Bound For Glory Series” bouts are scheduled for Thursday as the road to the final four begins! Thursday’s broadcast will be the final singles matches in the series – and the last chance for several superstars to break into the top standings! Who will ultimately win a shot at the World Title at October’s “Bound For Glory” epic event? BFG Series matches on Thursday are:

  • AJ Styles vs. Bobby Roode
  • Austin Aries vs. Christopher Daniels
  • Hernandez vs. Kazarian

Best Case Scenario:The writers stay out of the way of great wrestlers and let Styles, Roode, Aries, and Daniels work long matches that tell binary heel-face stories. A.J. defeats Bobby Roode with the Styles Clash (maybe even fighting off interference) to continue his push as a top-level babyface. Daniels and Aries have the (North American) Junior Heavyweight match of 2013, making the finish nearly irrelevant with their great work. Finally, Kazarian gets a dirty win over Hernandez when his EGO teammates interfere.

Worst Case Scenario: EGO sweeps the matches with blatant cheating coming into play in all three finishes. Hernandez and Kazarian blow more spots than Dusty Rhodes’ polka dot singlet.

Dave Says: These are some extra interesting (read: kind of scary) matchups because of the developing Extraordinary Gentlemen’s Organization storyline. Will the new faction sweep these matches, or will Styles and Aries continue to be portrayed as strong babyfaces? Aries and Daniels could be a nuclear-level barnburner if they want it to be.
