TNA Says:
Plus, the “Bound For Glory Series” continues on Thursday featuring matches selected by YOU – THE FANS! The BFG Series bouts scheduled for Thursday are:
“The Charismatic Enigma” Jeff Hardy vs. Samoa Joe
Magnus of the Main Event Mafia vs. Mr. Anderson of The Aces and Eights
Christopher Daniels vs. Kazarian – battle of the Tag Team partners!
Best Case Scenario: Joe and Hardy have a competitive, back-and-forth match that ends when an overconfident Joe goes for the 10-point submission win instead of the pinfall and Hardy reverses him into a pin and a 7-point win of his own. Magnus beats Anderson cleanly with his Michinoku Driver to continue his big push and make the Main Event Mafia look capable of potentially taking out a member of Aces & Eights. Daniels and Kaz have a strong, athletic match, which the Fallen Angel narrowly wins by outsmarting his partner.
Worst Case Scenario: Hardy and Joe brawl outside the ring to a double-countout, costing both of them BFG Series points (right?). Mike Knox comes to the ring with everybody’s favorite ball peen hammer and helps Anderson get a dirty win over Magnus. Kazarian goes over Christopher Daniels when the match goes home abruptly after a belly-to-belly piledriver spot goes wrong.
Dave Says: These feel like the right match-ups for the six wrestlers in question. Wrestling Samoa Joe gives Jeff Hardy the ability to do his signature selling without reducing himself to over-selling for a lower-card act (as he recently did for Joseph Park). Magnus and Anderson wrestling continues the MEM vs. A&E storyline, and allows the most charismatic member of each team (barring Bully Ray) to do their best to get their team identity across as TNA builds toward their big match at Hardcore Justice. Finally, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian may have a platform to steal the entire show, given their long history together and their considerable in-ring skills. Don’t sleep on their ability to tell the in-ring story of the night.
