An interesting email on the status of TNA...

I was given this email from my friend Joseph, and he has some very interesting views on the state of TNA going in to Bound For Glory. In short, he ripped me a new one for the views I put on chapter 208... only fair I give him a shout....

I read your latest preview of TNA's BFG and I must say...all you did was bash the living hell out of it! This PPV has many great aspects to it and there will be many great matches that will deliver, but you only pointed out the bad in each and every match (Not that I disagree with you on some of the points you made).

First of all, you talked about the Ultimate X match like it was a piece of crap. Granted, most of the points you made were true (No publicity or build-up between the two teams that are going to be involved and XXX meaning nothing), but it's still going to be a kick-ass match! I think LAX is still a great tag team whether they're heel or face because these two are two of the most talented guys in professional wrestling history!

Moving on to the tag title match, I agree with you there completely. But you think the titles are going to mean nothing because AJ Styles and Tomko hold them? PLEASE! Styles is one of the greatest ever! A match with him will almost never fail to deliver. Plus, if your prediction with Ultimate X is correct, think of this: "Two teams going for the gold...each team has one member with speed and another member with power, two aspects that make a killer team! Which team has more of it though? Find out!!!" Will TNA promote the match like this? I don't know. Even if they don't, you can still look at it like that (I do).

The Cage vs Joe match will be kick-ass as well! The match may turn out the way you say and it may not (I personally hope your prediction doesn't come true). Secondly, you think Joe's gonna walk out of TNA because he didn't win the championship? Did Chris Benoit walk out of WWF when he didn't win the title after numerous tries? Did Chris Jericho walk out of WWE because he went from a main eventer to a mid-carder? (He walked out to start a music career) If you don't work backstage at TNA, please do not talk about what a wrestler is thinking. Joe even said himself that he wasn't leaving TNA and that he was satisfied with his position in the company.

Steiners vs 3-D - I agree with you: no one cares anymore and there was very little build-up, but once again, it will still deliver past expectations because it's 2 out of 3 tables. I disagree with you on the part where you think it will continue between these two teams. I think this is the final chapter.

TNA's creative team is less imaginative than WWE? Wait, doesn't WWE have a midget chasing a woman around with a towel on as a major storyline? Granted, TNA's booking is far from perfect right now, but they've still got some pretty good ideas. They just need to learn to follow through with them better than they have been doing.

Kurt Angle and Sting will still be a kick-ass match regardless of the current events surrounding Kurt right now (I pray it's not as serious as the news is making it out to be). It's still a dream match that, in my opinion, stands a chance of being the match of the year. I do agree with you on Sting needing to win so Kurt Angle can get some help, though, no matter if the situation is serious or not. We don't need another Chris Benoit incident any time soon (Ever again for that).

You have good arguments and supportive evidence to go with them, but in order for your articles to be great, you might want to consider pointing out the good in TNA at the same time because, whether you want to believe it or not, there are many good things in TNA.

your thoughts, everyone?
