TNA Bound for Glory:Top 10 Worst Matches

With Bound for Glory right around the corner, today I will present, the Top 10 Worst Bound for Glory matches of all time. This is personal opinion and I am welcome to comments and discussion on the matter.

#10
2009

This match was just sad to be honest. I love Eric Young but not this one. There was an alright back story with the Main Event Mafia and World Elite, that really didn't make much sense in hindsight and the end of this one was just sloppy. Also this was the end of the Legends Championship in general.

Honestly I just hated this match. It wasn't a "dream match", it was a match that obviously Joe didn't even want to be in. This is seriously just personal choice.


#8
2008

Need I explain this one? Just the name of the match is awful

#7
2007
Fight for the Right Reverse Battle Royal
Part 1: Lance Hoyt, Kaz, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, James Storm, Eric Young, Robert Roode and Junior Fatu eliminated Jimmy Rave, Havoc, Shark Boy, Petey Williams, Sonjay Dutt, Kip James, B.G. James and Chris Harris

Part 2: Robert Roode & Eric Young eliminated Alex Shelley (3), Lance Hoyt (4), Kaz (5), Chris Sabin (6), Junior Fatu (7) & James Storm (8)

Part 3: Eric Young (1) defeated Robert Roode (2)

This match is WAY too complicated. The first half was a REVERSE Battle Royal. Why does that match even exist? Then the 2nd part was a ranking system battle royal then it was Young-Roode in a one on one match that actually made sense because of their rivalry. I would not have a problem if the first part happened on Impact or just didn't happen at all. I like the fact that the Top 8 led to a ranking system but the way they got there was just stupid.

Kevin Nash Open Invitational X Division Gauntlet Battle Royal
Austin Star defeated Sonjay Dutt, Maverick Matt, Jay Lethal, A-1, Zach Gowen, Kazarian, Sirelda, Shark Boy, Alex Shelley, D-Ray 3000, Johnny Devine, Elix Skipper, Short Sleeve Sampson. Norman Smiley and Petey Williams

What do you get when Kevin Nash tries to help the X Division and throws a battle royal where the winner gets a bowling trophy? This crapfest.

Honestly I hated this storyline in general. The ECW guys shouldn't have been wrestling anymore. The fortune  guys didn't deserve to be in this match. Plus why is a steel cage on the Bound for Glory when they have a full PPV of steel cage matches? Just blah.

I'm not sure what's worse? The match or the fact that Steve "Mango" McMichael was the guest referee. The match was sloppy and just bad. I mean Abyss was lit on fire and it was almost like no one care. Mango was the worst ref in the history of wrestling. His slow counts made this match even harder to watch.

This match still annoys me. It's not even the fact that Jeff Hardy won and turned heel. I just thought this was a blah forgettable. It also doesn't help that no one remembers that match anyway. It's more remembered for the "10/10/10" reveal. I'm sorry but I HATED the Hogan/Bischoff turn and I was just never a fan of the Immortal storyline. It also didn't help that the whole thing didn't make any sense on the night in general. 



#2
2005
Gauntlet for the Gold/NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Rhino defeated Abyss, Samoa Joe, Ron "The Truth" Killings, Sabu, Lance Hoyt, Jeff Hardy, Monty Brown, Kip James and AJ Styles

Rhino defeated Jeff Jarrett (c)
Special Guest Referee: Tito Ortiz

So let's see if looking back I get this right. Kevin Nash is supposed to get the title shot for whatever reason. He gets a staff infection in his leg so he has to withdraw from the match the night before the show. So the bright idea is to have a gauntlet match to determine the #1 contender and immediately have a match with Jeff Jarrett for the NWA Championship with for some reason Tito Ortiz as the ref. In the gauntlet you have guys who wrestled in matches throughout the night, except for some reason Kip James which made things really ugly because everyone was selling injuries and exhaustion from previous matches. So then Rhino wins and quickly wins the match against Jarrett. If none of that makes sense, welcome to TNA circa 2005.

2008
Steel Asylum Match
Jay Lethal defeated Sonjay Dutt, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Curry Man, Shark Boy, Super Eric, Petey Williams, Johnny Devine and Jimmy Rave

Why does this match exist? That stupid red cage still haunts me. So if you don't remember this match, and thank God if you do, the point was for the X Division guys to fights and climb up to a little hole on top of the cage where a ref just happens to be waiting. Just stupid all the way around.

That's that. Coming soon I will posting my list of the Top 10 BEST matches in Bound for Glory history. Ironically a list that harder to make than this one.
