With two weeks to go, TNA had exactly two matches announced for their biggest pay-per-view of the year. Despite cutting down from 12 to 4 events a year, they still couldnt find the time to book a decent show ahead of time. When the show aired, there were eight wrestlers on the card who had never even appeared a single time on Impact! While the event ended up being decent, nothing of consequence happened. The biggest news item may have been a promo cut by Team 3D that was edited out for the American broadcast, because they were challenging a team from a rival Japanese promotion. With the companys future hanging in the balance, they sure didnt try to get fans excited for their version of WrestleMania. Their champion wasnt even booked for the show. Its hard to imagine theyll put less thought into Bound for Glory 2015, as this one seems to have been put together on the back of a napkin while eating breakfast at Dennys the day of the show.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
