I'm a little late on BFG, but I have some thoughts:
Why was Christie wearing a prom dress? She's in her 30s. She seems a little old for that.
Opening match was pretty nothing. I did like that wacky corkscrew knee thing Ion did. I was hoping RVD would be as motivated as he was on Impact, but he clearly wasn't.
Really enjoyed Joe vs Magnus. They delivered. I'd like to see them keep feuding. I'm hoping this TV Title reign will help Joe recover his career a bit. Magnus is awesome and so young. He has a big future.
Beer Money EXPLODES was awesome. As good a brawl as you'll see in WWE or TNA. That was probably the bloodiest face I've seen in a few years in the wrasslin business. Disgusting blade job. Great ending to the feud, although I really doubt it is actually the end of it. I feel a Flair/Sting vibe never ending feud with them. Poor Spanish announce team. Taz and Tenay get a table that probably cost $1000, and they get a basic $50 wooden table with a black table cloth. And once it gets broken, they have to hold their monitors on their laps while Tenay makes fun of them for it? BA*, Mike. I also question the decision to make the elevated ramp grated metal. Obviously people would be bumping on it at some point, so they make it the least forgiving material that isn't concrete?
I think Joey Ryan is the last person you want to get on all 4s and offer yourself to. Man, 50 year old Al Snow looked way better than Joey Ryan. Of all the PWG guys, Joey Ryan is the one they pick? Not Steen, Generico, Brian Cage Taylor, Ricochet, even Rick Knox? Joey Ryan is just so...average. Oh great, Matt Morgan is back and he got some more shitty tats while he was gone. I can't explain to you how absolutely uninterested I am in this angle going forward. I'd rather just see Al Snow and D'Lo renew their feud than see Morgan or Ryan every week. I also liked how this match got the typical KO/Diva match spot when there is an actual KO match later on in the show.
"Tex-Mex combination"...but both guys are from Texas. Did no one tell AJ that maybe a Southern man walking out with a white pointy hood has some unfortunate implications? Kurt makes me sad. Seeing him all hunched over looking like an old man in the corner just bums me out. God, I hate Kaz. I want a winner and loser must be off TV forever match between him and Miz. Or maybe a Miz/Kaz vs Ryback/Hernandez match where there is no way either could escape without injury. TNA can never succeed with Matt Morgan and Kaz on their shows. Which makes me think, not that I miss him, but where is Crimson? I feel like he hasn't been on TV since May or June and I don't remember an angle taking him off TV. That was a pretty disgusting fall Kaz took. I said holy shit, but I didn't feel bad or worried. Jesus, I thought Kurt was going to die when he was up for the Border Toss. He has to be the last guy who should ever take that move. I'd be less worried at Hogan taking that move over Kurt. WHO THE FUCK IS PANTING NEXT TO A MIC?! Jesus Christ. For like 5 minutes. Lol at a dude in the 2nd row bootlegging the match on his iPad. Awesome match, terrible finish.
LOL at Taz screaming for the guest time keeper to ring the bell and then Tiffany calling for the bell to be rang like 15 seconds after it was rung. Big surprise, Tara's horse hair weave is falling out within 5 minutes. "A little out of position was Taryn Tarell....at least she's hot." Awkward silence. I find it interesting that Taz never uses the right in the/lost an areola line during KO matches. Reasonably decent match, but I don't know why Victoria won. Tiffany blatantly given Tara directions from her ear piece. Awesome. Her boyfriend looks like a gay porn star. "WHO ARE YOU?" chant. Nice. Jesus, Mike. "Let's go to something important." I agree, but that's taking burying a segment to a new level.
Where are Sting's eyebrows? Besides his hair, he still looks pretty young in the face. TNA renting out a conference room at a hotel for their HOF while WWE rents out an arena is really both companies in a nut shell.
Hulk Hogan is the right guy to play with? And yet he's suing for his sex tape? Talk about mixed messages. Bully's face paint looked less like Sting and more like Power Warrior Kensuke Sasaki. Or maybe even Mr. Pogo. Which guys were wrestling? Festus and Mike Knox? The casualness of Bully hitting whichever with the piece of table was hilarious. I'm always going to mark out for the Stinger splash miss on the guard rail spot. Maybe my favorite of his signature bumps. D-Von vs Hulk Hogan, the dream match we've all been waiting for. Hogan's big boot looks like Andre trying to kick people in 1990. So glad Bully didn't turn on Sting. Even as a mid boss, D-Von is a massive let down. "This is awkward" chant. They've had some great chants Sunday.
Jeff has his most normal face paint in 3 years on the biggest show of the year? Weird. big match feel, at least. What the fuck? The crowd clearly, loudly chanting Aries and Tenay says all of the sudden the creatures vocally drowned out Aries supporters? It's like 80/20 in A Double's favor at the start. Fun match, terrible finish. A Double definitely looks like he belongs with the biggest stars. He's like Rick Rude, Randy Savage, and Stunning Steve all in a 4 foot package. Maybe they don't want to do "selfish heel champion" after 10 months of ROOOOOoooo. Although, there was no reason to turn A Double heel when the crowd loves him and he just turned face within a few weeks before he wont the title.
