My Bound for Glory 2012 predictions
By TheCannon 18 Comments
BFG is only a month away. 2011's Bound for Glory doesn't seem that long ago. Anyway, I decided to make my predictions for Bound for Glory. Feel free to put your own predictions.
TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Jeff Hardy vs Austin Aries(c)
I was surprised by this match. I truthfully thought it was going to be Samoa Joe vs Austin Aries. I was wrong. But anyway, let's go over my predictions.
I expect this to be a good match. They could of done better with Angle, Storm, or Pope winning the BFG series, but still a good match. I think that the end of Bound for Glory will be where they reveal the big Ace's & 8s thing. I predict a heel turn by one of these two guys, and that one of them is behind Ace's & 8s. I'm going to say we'll be seeing an Austin Aries heel turn at the end of BFG, revealing he, Eric Bischoff, and Jeff Jarret were behind Ace's & 8s.
Predicted Winner: Austin Aries
Austin Aries, Eric Bischoff, and Jeff Jarrett are revealed as the Ace's & 8s leader.
Street Fight: James Storm vs Bobby Roode
I was upset after Lockdown when it didn't look like this feud was continuing. Roode moved on to other stuff while Storm went inactive until being part of the BFG Series. I was thrilled when Roode returned at No Surrender and cost Storm his match (Even though I was rooting for Storm) so that way we could see more of these guys. I expect this to be a match to finally end the feud (kind of) and Storm get a measure of revenge.
Predicted Winner: James Storm
Last Man Standing: AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels
I know. I don't want this one either. We've been seeing this bad feud for a year now. But, it still is going on. So, I think that this will finally be the end and they can move these guys onto something better. Daniels does not have a good record against AJ Styles 1 on 1. Plus, Daniels winning would just give a reason for it to go one for another few months. I don't think that will happen. So, I want Daniels to win, but he's not going to win.
Predicted Winner: AJ Styles
12 Man Tag: Team TNA (Sting, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Bully Ray, and D'Angelo Dinero) vs Aces & 8s
I just picture some sort of huge thing between a team of TNA guys and Aces and 8s. I listed the members of Team TNA up top. I think if this match happens, it's a bit obvious who wins.
Predicted Winners: Team TNA
Magnus vs Samoa Joe
I know, may seem a bit random. But here me out. TNA has been pushing Magnus lately with him in the BFG Series and how many wins he got. He had that thing with RVD (probably over, but still). After Joe beat him on August 16, Magnus attempted to attack him. A couple backstage attacks could easily lead to this match. The match itself would be good, but would ruin the push they've been giving Joe (which would be Joe in 2010 all over again).
Predicted Winner: Samoa Joe
Knockout Championship: Brooke Tessmacher(c) vs Tara vs Madison Rayne vs Mickie James
Since the Knockout title was introduced, every title match as BFG has had multiple people in it. So why would this year be any different? I want Gail Kim and ODB in it (they're the best women wrestlers they have) but I know they won't be. I predict that Brooke Hogan will be the special referee, so I don't think Madison will win it. I don't really see anyone in the Knockout that has gotten a push lately, other than Brooke.
Predicted Winner: Brooke Tessmacher
TNA X-Division Championship: Zema Ion(c) vs Sonjay Dutt vs Kenny King
Don't know why, but I just see some sort of 3-way happening for the X-Division title. But no matter who's in it, it's obvious who wins. I would love for Dutt to win, but I doubt he'll ever be X-Division champ.
Predicted Winner: Zema Ion
Vacant TNA Television Championship: Mr. Anderson vs Robbie E
Highly unlikely, but think about it. Devon is gone from TNA, so he's no longer Television Champion. There's no way Anderson won't be on the card. Robbie E is the most likely person to face him because of the push in the BFG Series. If this match does somehow happen, no way Robbie wins.
Predicted Winner: Mr. Anderson
