RATING: **¾

-Wes Briscoe is with Angle, and wants to attend Bound for Glory. Angle agrees, and then AJ shows up and questions Angle about wanting to fight Aces and Eights instead of wanting the tag titles. Angle says that Kaz and Daniels are messing with his as AJ storms off.

-Sting and Hogan walk.

-We see clips of Sting defeating Hogan at last year’s Bound for Glory PPV.

-Sting and Hulk Hogan make their way to the ring. Hulk says they have had a situation since last week. Aces and Eights backed him into a corner, and he cut a deal for the match at BFG. Sting says that he is pissed that they have to play by their rules, but Bully Ray stepped up, and now the have to run with it. Hulk says they had to make a deal with the devil…

Daniel and Kazarian make their way to the ring. Daniels says two angels could save the day. Daniels says that they are days away from BFG, but they could make things rights. He says they picked an untrustworthy man in Bully Ray. He cannot understand why the world tag team champions of the world were not chosen to battles Aces and Eights. Kaz tells THUNDERLIPS that they can fix this. Cancel the tag title match at BFG, kick Bully off the team, and then they should have Angle team with Sting.

This brings out Bully Ray. Ray says to shut up, and agrees with them. Angle would have been a great choice, but this is not a wrestling match, it is a fight. If you want to do a match, you pick the greatest wrestler, Kurt Angle. But if it is a fight, you pick the baddest MOTHER TRUCKER in the company. Ray says he doesn’t need to be friends with Sting or Hogan; he needs to have their back, to save the business. They want Aces and Eights gone, and if he has to earn their trust, he proposes the tag champions vs. Ray and Sting. Daniels and Kaz do not like this, so Hogan agrees!

The man then mentions Bully Ray being a surprise, but also tat they can counter it. He then asks if they were locked out or in, and tonight, they put that to the test. One thing is for sure, they will be there Sunday.

-Zema Ion makes his way to the ring. Ion says being humble gets you nowhere is life. He has ended careers and broken bones to be the X-Division champion. Sunday is the biggest PPV, and it all feels bitter sweet, because there is no one left to fight. RVD now makes his way out to the ring, and he has a mic. RVD says what is dangerous is to talk all this crap while RVD is around. RVD says he doesn’t have a match either, and Hogan says he could face anyone he wants. RVD then kicks Ion in the face, and he rolls to the floor. RVD says he will see him in Phoenix.

– Hulk and Sting debate about Bully Ray. As they argue, Ray arrives to ask Sting if he is ready for their match. Hulk says he doesn’t trust him at all. Ray just says he did what Hogan has done his whole career. Ray then asks if they know who he is. Hogan says if he slips up tonight, he will pay for it. Sting blows up and says they have the big bad Bully that they need. Ray promises not to let him down.

RATING: ***½

-After the match Roode has a chair, but the ref stops that. Twist of fate by Jeff connects again. Jeff celebrates as Austin Aries makes his way to the ring. He won’t let the night end with Hardy in HIS ring. Aries has a paper and says he will not read what was written for him, and tosses it away. Aries says people have been telling him what to say, think and do. He has been told to embrace the fans, but as of right now, he is done with that. He has been portrayed as being jealous of Jeff, but he isn’t of his wrap sheet or that Jeff is half crippled and can’t play with is daughter. He is sick and tired of the special treatment that Jeff gets. Aries can’t get new videos and music, because they are too busy pleasing Jeff. He is sick of it, he wants TNA to cater to him. he may be set up to fail, but he is always the best when it is him vs. the system. At BFG, the only failure is Jeff, and until Jeff beats him, he is nothing. Jeff grabs the mic and says his nuts hurt, his neck hurts and on Sunday, he will end his cocky ass. Aries says that is fine, but until he does, this is Aries’ ring, and he gives Jeff one last chance to stand in it to hear his fans, and now, he asks Jeff to leave. As Jeff leaves, Aries nails him in the balls and hits the BRAIN BUSTAAAAAAAAAAAA~! Aries yells at the fans, asking them if this is what they wanted and stands tall with the title…
