Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “AJ Francis getting powerbombed and bouncing on the ring was a sight to behold. His tease for over the top rope dives is a nice inside joke in the wrestling community. His failed attempt on Smackdown will be forever stuff of legends...The signs all point toward Kazarian coming out of Bound For Glory as champion. His losing of this match and getting his ass kicked to close the show are hints that he may come out on top."

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “These two in a program together is pure testosterone. No women around to keep guys from acting like this. lol... Sami Callihan coming out to stop the heel is kinda funny. What Alexander was about to do was so heinous that even Sami Callihan was like, 'Nah, man. This has gone to far."

⭐️Kayhan: “This has been my favorite feud heading into BFG. The Santana video package was nice. And Moose's promo literally had me laughing out loud. The System has brought some perfect subtle comedy. Nice job no-selling the humor in it. And as for leaving Santana and everyone else laying, makes me think Santana's gonna win the match... really liked the moment where Santana and Moose faced off."

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Man, the crowd did not play along with this Heather Reckless 'Launch Party' at all. lol. NIce that Brinley Reese got some revenge for last week because that was just outrageous. This had some really hilarious imagery. Ash and Heather did as great a job as you can selling this. I think it was a little hammed up with they were about to dunk Ash and Heather in the champagne. But other than that, overall i think this was decent business heading into BFG."

=====

*5) Rosemary Causes the Distraction To Help Wendy Choo Defeat Jody Threat, Rosemary & Choo will face Threat and Lana for Tag Titles on Saturday

ONE SEGMENT (9:41)

-Match: Choo (w/Rosemary) def. Threat

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Just when I think I've seen it all, Rosemary throws Choo's PILLOW into the ring to cause the distraction. Nice one. I'll give it a half-thumbs up for the finish. I'm a little disappointed that no mention was made of Wendy Choo abducting Tatum Paxley on NXT. I guess Choo has her tied up at home and just goes off to work for TNA."

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I don't really like how they mashed these two programs that had nothing to do with each other. But the way they beat Kaz up, completely humiliating him, makes me think he's gonna come out of the PPV World Champion. I did like the explanation of how Kaz went over Santino's head and used his clout to get the spot as referee. To me that makes sense. If anyone has seniority in TNA, it's Kaz. I vote for Kaz for World Champion!"
