Decisions......

I've been reading all of the feedback and polls and such from fans covering the Slammiversary celebration and I've come to the conclusion it was a success. Fact is, almost every review from fans and critics alike has been positive from top of the card to the bottom. The rare oddity who didn't enjoy the PPV had no convincing arguments to put forth and I dismiss it as mere apparition. In any case, I believe TNA played their cards well and showcased everyone properly with as much fanfare and such as they could muster. I do have a question, though......where was Jeff Jarrett?

In all of the glint and the flashbulbs and photographs taken, I have yet to see hide nor hair of TNA's founder. I doubt anyone is more surprised than I that the many time TNA World Champion was absent from their 10 year celebration. Was it storyline? Is there reason to be nervous? I have no idea what the story is, but I hope Jeff Jarrett and family are doing well in their absence.

I believe TNA is still on the rise as they move out of the PPV. Sting, Tess, James Storm, Crimson, Devon, Madison Rayne, Abyss, Austin Aries, and a great many others have a decent story to tell this week and I have a hunch we'll see the better parts of those stories this week leading into the build for Destination X. A softened Bobby Roode will await the challenge of Mr. Anderson as his assault at the hands of Sting at Slammiversary may be just the opening a new challenger needs to remove the belt from the champion.

Look for the contenders for the renewed Bound for Glory Series to be announced this week as well as the preliminary rounds are decided. I look very forward to seeing who TNA's brass have in mind to push for the World Title picture leading up to that PPV. I make this prediction for anyone curious.....Bobby Roode won't be the World Title holder going into Bound for Glory this year as the feud between he and James Storm continues coming close to the PPV. If things continue to play out as they are, I would bet on Jeff Hardy, RVD, or even Sting to hold the World Title with Austin Aries or Matt Morgan (if he's still around by that time) challenging for the big gold going into Bound for Glory.

Bound for Glory is going to be special this year as it is every year, but I look for some special fanfare to be presented as the unveiling of the Hall of Fame happens and new inductees are entered in. I could see such names as Jeff Jarrett, Dusty Rhodes (who served as a leading booker for a time), Ken Shamrock (TNA's first World Heavyweight Champion), or even Kevin Nash entering the Hall in the future as names of note.
