Predictions for TNA Bound for Glory 2012
(Note: N/A means that a person’s picks are “not available” at the moment)
Nick G. – Snow
Evan O. – Joey Ryan
Dave S. – N/A
Anthony V. – Joey Ryan
Josh B. – RYAN
Darragh O. – Joey Ryan
Greg M. – Joey Ryan
Matt O. – Al Snow
Grash – Joey Ryan
Jason N. – Joey Ryan
Jose M. – N/A
Mike T. – N/A
Rocky J. – Joey Ryan. Giving this one to Ryan as I would doubt they would build up this whole angle for them not to use Ryan again.
Wade B. – Joey Ryan. The pornstaches collide! Joey Ryan’s the only semi-entertaining thing to come out of the catastrophic waste of time that is Gut Check. Ryan wins.
Ryan R. – Joey Ryan
Michael F. – Joey Ryan
CONSENSUS: Ryan 11-1. The Wrestleview readers & staff are part of the 87% and want to see Sleaze legalized with Ryan earning himself a TNA contract tonight.
Nick G. – Magnus
Evan O. – Samoa Joe
Dave S. – N/A.
Anthony V. – SAMOA JOE
Josh B. – JOE
Darragh O. – Samoa Joe
Greg M. – Magnus.
Matt O. – Samoa Joe
Grash – Samoa Joe
Jason N. – Samoa Joe
Jose M. – N/A.
Mike T. – N/A.
Rocky J. – Samoa Joe. Joe wins simply because I don’t really remember who Magnus is.
Wade B. – Samoa Joe. This’ll probably be the first match in a series between these two. But, c’mon, Joe just won the title a couple weeks ago. He’s not losing it just yet. Joe retains the TV title.
Ryan R. – Joe
Michael F. – Samoa Joe
CONSENSUS: Samoa Joe 11-2. Its almost unanimous that the staff & readers see the Samoan Submission Machine retain his title over his arrogant former partner.
Nick G. – Tess
Evan O. – Miss Tessmacher
Dave S. – N/A.
Anthony V. – TARA
Josh B. – TARA
Darragh O. – Tara
Greg M. – Miss Tessmacher
Matt O. – Tara
Grash – Miss Tessmacher
Jason N. – Tara
Jose M. – N/A.
Mike T. – N/A.
Rocky J. – Miss Tessmacher
Wade B. – Tara. The Hollywood boyfriend (probably some D-list “celebrity” TNA scraped from under the toenail of a reality show in the hopes of cheap ratings) interferes and gives his girl the title. Tara wins and becomes the champion of a paper-thin KO division.
Ryan R. – Tessmacher
Michael F. – Miss Tessmacher
CONSENSUS: Tied at 5-5. The staff & readers are split down the middle in this match between teacher and student. Will Tara’s Hollywood Boyfriend be involved and lead to Tara’s 5th Knockout Title reign, or will a Tessshocker prove the difference for the champ to retain her title?
Nick G. – Ion
Evan O. – Zema Ion
Dave S. – N/A.
Anthony V. – ZEMA ION
Josh B. – ION
Darragh O. – Zema Ion
Greg M. – Rob Van Dam
Matt O. – RVD.
Grash – Zema Ion
Jason N. – Somehow, some way, I see RVD winning this.
Jose M. – N/A.
Mike T. – N/A.
Rocky J. – Zema Ion. Who put Rob in the X Division? This is a stupid idea, but I’m sure it will be a good match. I see Ion winning, but I think we may have a surprise at the end.
Wade B. – Ion. There’s no way RVD’s winning the title. If they continue with the “Ion injuring all of his opponents” storyline there’s a chance of a reverse decision, but I’m going with the safe pick. Ion retains the X-title.
Michael F. – Zema Ion.
CONSENSUS: Ion 9-3. Its clear here as the readers & staff see Ion’s new serious edge being the difference against the veteran Van Dam.
Nick G. – FALLEN KAZ
Evan O. – Daniels & Kazarian
Dave S. – N/A.
Anthony V. – CHAVO & SUPER MEX
Josh B. – DANIELS & KAZ
Darragh O. – Christopher Daniels & Kazarian
Greg M. – Daniels & Kazarian.
Matt O. – Styles & Angle
Grash – Hernandez & Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Jason N. – Styles & Angle
Jose M. – N/A.
Mike T. – N/A.
Rocky J. – Chavo & Hernandez. They have been pushing Chavo and Hernandez hard, so I think they give them the straps.
Wade B. – Chavo & Hernandez. The only team that actually needs the titles right now to establish their credibility is Guerrero and Hernandez. The other two teams are just fine without them. Guerrero and Hernandez win the tag titles.
Ryan R. – Kaz & Daniels
Michael F. – Hernandez and Chavo Guerrero, Jr.
CONSENSUS: Kaz & Daniels 6, Chavo & Hernandez 5, Styles & Angle 2. While most don’t see the dream team of TNA regaining the gold, its nearly split down the middle with our readers & staff if the champs retain or if the new Mexican duo wins the gold.
Nick G. – Storm
Evan O. – Bobby Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooode
Dave S. – N/A.
Anthony V. – JAMES STORM
Josh B. – STORM
Darragh O. – Bobby Roode
Greg M. – James Storm.
Matt O. – James Storm
Grash – James Storm
Jason N. – James Storm
Jose M. – N/A.
Mike T. – N/A.
Rocky J. – Bobby Roode. Have a feeling King Mo may bet involved and helps Roode win
Wade B. – James Storm. As much as TNA’s hyped King Mo, I don’t think the heel’s gonna win the first PPV match he’s involved in. Storm wins and finally gets his revenge on Roode, probably setting up some kind of program with Roode and Mo.
Ryan R. – James Storm.
Michael F. – James Storm
CONSENSUS: Storm 10-3. The feeling is Storm finally gets his win on Roode and that somehow, King Mo will get involved. The question though is, in what way?
Nick G. – NWNEXUSACESANDDVEIGHTS CORRE~!,
Evan O. – Aces and Eights
Dave S. – N/A.
Anthony V. – ACES AND EIGHTS.
Josh B. – ACES & 8s
Darragh O. – Aces and Eights
Greg M. – Aces & Eights
Matt O. – Sting and Ray
Grash – Aces and Eights
Jason N. – Aces and Eights.
Jose M. – N/A.
Mike T. – N/A.
Rocky J. – Aces and Eights. A&8 will take this one, and I see Ray being involved somehow.
Wade B. – Aces and Eights. Well, gee, I wonder if Bully Ray’s with Aces & 8’s, because I was born just yesterday. Park’s probably with them, too. And Bischoff is El Presidente. Sting’s gonna get destroyed ten times over. Aces & 8’s wins in a rout.
Ryan R. – Sting and Bully Ray
Michael F. – Aces and Eights
CONSENSUS: Aces & Eights 11-2. Almost all the readers & staff see the Sons of Anarchy like biker gang winning and receiving full access to TNA going forward. The question is, who SWERVEY SWERVES?
Nick G. – Aries
Evan O. – Aries
Dave S. – N/A.
Anthony V. – Hardy
Josh B. – Hardy
Darragh O. – Aries
Greg M. – Jeff Hardy.
Matt O. – Aries
Grash – Aries
Jason N. – Hardy
Jose M. – N/A.
Mike T. – N/A.
Rocky J. – Aries. I don’t care what Hardy has been doing, after all he has done, you can’t really put a big strap on him anymore. Besides, Austin seems to be doing a great job as champ.
Wade B. – Aries. TNA is blatantly trying to turn Aries into their version of CM Punk. And, apparently, he’s turned full-blown heel, thanks to all the sheep in Orlando cheering for Hardy. I’ve got Aries retaining the title. God, I hope so. The thought of Hardy as champion makes me queasy.
Ryan R. – Aries.
Michael F. – Hardy
CONSENSUS: Aries 8-5. While some see the Charismatic Enigma becoming TNA Champion for a 3rd time, most see the Greatest Man That Ever Lived continue his reign as the champ in his quest to better than Jeff Hardy.
