Joe Hendry - Bound for Glory or Failure? BFG 2024 Review

This weekend TNA Bound for Glory 2024 took place from Detroit. This event was in front of a sell out crowd in a nice arena. The card featured Joe Hendry finally challenging for Dolph Ziggler's TNA title. Also on the card we got a full metal mayhem match (basically TLC) The Hardy Boyz created a love letter to their past matches in the WWE. This PPV turned out to be so good that people are claiming TNA is about to over take AEW. Will that happen who knows but this sure the greatest TNA PPV in memory!

The greatest TNA PPV in recent memory? A good all round show! Apart from Vikingo and Chris Bey both getting injured.....

[@Keepinspirin]

Agreed with you on that bruv

[@CarlosVasquez-xf8nx]

Sucks when great talent gets injured. Hope they recover.

[@joeAK7.62]

idk man... i was really dissapointed by the ppv. wwe ruined tna, jbl buried both joe hendry and nic nemeth with that fk finish! the worst booking in tna history, hendry should be tna whc! not that old lame dolph ziggler! even when crazy vince russo or lunatic cornette were in charge of tna the product was atleast fun and from 2005 until 2010 when hogan and bischoff ruined it, tna was the better promotion. atleaset in 08, 09, 10 and a bit of 11. why is this joke of authority figure santino marella the gm? why is tna kept down and thrown a bone by big nose paul with fn developmental nxt!? this is all deliberate, its downright sabotage, just look at santinos daughter commanding him and making him look even more silly! this is all orchestrated from the top. just like his father in law vkm, triple h is a ruthless sob, cold, vile and all too happy to throw yet another competitor promotion under the bus! he is just like vince, but worse! same scenario as wweecw... tna is dead and no more. i cried my soul out when eric young held that heartfelt laudatio for bob ryders tna hall of fame introduction. the best are gone too soon, its sad, but pray my friends, the good will succeed and evil men will go to hell! tna4life!

I don't know what TNA is doing with Hendry but this reminds me of Angle vs Roode from Bound for Glory 2011 all over again. And to anyone saying it was the right decision because you don't like Joe, tell me why other than you thinking he's boring or corny because outside of the WWE, he has to be the most over wrestler in all of Wrestling right now. I don't understand why he lost this weekend.

[@AshBlossomWorshiper]

Honestly, I think the hawk is right on the money. They're afraid of putting anything of value on him because he could go anywhere. I think that's why JG lost tonight as well. Remember: earlier this year there were a lot of tna backstage pillars that were fired or left. All that's left are buisnessmen.

[@TheRealAhoy]

He's absolutely not the most over wrestler in wrestling atm.

[@georgeh4171]

In wrestling the interest has always been in the face chasing the title rather than defending. They are trying to milk Hendry’s momentum for all they can.

[@packedentertainment2866]

Because his gimmick doesn’t mesh well with the world championship. You can’t realistically see him as the face of this company or any company for that matter. He’s decent at best in the ring & he’s funny but he’s not world champion material & never will be.

[@cameronlapage7386]

Part of me thinks that they'll still pull the trigger on Hendry before his contact's up, but who knows. Even if Grace is staying, Masha's overdue for a singles title, and TNA desperately needed to build another Knockout up. TNA running Curtis Culwell in January is interesting. They must have something big planned for Genesis to be that confident. I don't see it happening, but it'd be cool if TNA brought back the Team X Cup tournament with teams from TNA, AAA, NXT, and NJPW or NOAH.

I see shades of Zack Rider in Hendry. Got over on his on, with the help of the internet, but the promotion never capitalizing. I know the chase gets more interest than the win and reign, but they really need to put a title on Hendry while the iron's hot. He is arguably their biggest star, and if they don't do something substantial with him, they will lose him the NXT and WWE.

[@gameshock2916]

TNA Bound For Glory (2024) occurred at the Wayne State Fieldhouse in Detroit, Michigan. It's a college gym for Wayne State University. The arena is not as big as WWE or AEW events. TNA is now officially the third-largest wrestling promotion in the US behind AEW and WWE after being in the dirt for so long.

They pretty much gave away that Frankie Kazarian was going to win the battle royale on the preshow leading up to it by not only making him the referee but by putting him in a match to see who got the final spot and even though they didn't win that he was already telling everyone how he was going to use his shot once he won it. The title match itself just seemed like both were going through the motions especially Joe Henry getting all of his fan interaction spots in and at no point did I think he would win when it wasn't even the main event and it just seemed over booked with the Kazarian stuff and JBL turning up it's almost like they did everything to take focus off the two men in the match. The rest of the show was pretty good but of all the matches I think the Steve Maclin vs Josh Alexander match needed to go longer and be more physical because it could have been much better and it just didn't seem like a finish fitting the match.
