Fearless.....

If there was ever any doubt; if fear had shown through before; if WWE ever had an edge over TNA, you'd never know it from last night. Passion, power, unpredictability, potency, and straight up talent rocked Texas as Slammiversary crowned new champions, broke opponents and tables alike, and delivered EXACTLY where they said they would. I, for one, was in awe of the night and I know most critics and skeptics were as well.

As hands were raised in toast, in victory, and in applause, quite possibly the biggest things to be surprised about in the PPV came through and, save for the AJ saga, which is still looming, every finish came as a surprise. I grant that not every finish was clean, but every finish WAS interesting. Even though Bobby Roode retains, Sting showed for all why he IS Hall of Fame material. I ask you all, who is better suited to introduce the return of Sting as the number one moment than the man who was his partner for that match, Christian? It was bittersweet to see the Instant Classic in the ring as it's with the knowledge that no follow up will be had from him and no stories can be told in ring for the next PPV.

What moment was my favorite? Do I say that it was the return of James Storm as he snapped the year long streak of Crimson? What about the X Division encounter between two champions? Could it be the crowning of new Tag Team Champions? How about the beginning of the very first reign of Tess? The announcement of Sting as the first inductee to the TNA Hall of Fame? I truly can't name one moment I liked over another as this was the crown jewel in TNA's year so far.

To go even further with the high standard TNA has set, it has been announced that the hugely successful Bound for Glory Series will be back for another round of competitors and the first matches begin this week. The tournament that rewarded Beer Money with their slots in the top tier is certain to put someone else in the spotlight, with expectations of golden opportunities. Last year, Bobby Roode went to the dance and, even though he didn't capitalize at Bound for Glory, he eventual victory cemented himself into history for TNA. Who's next? My money is firmly place behind a man whose moniker is one that deserves to be tested. That's right. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived.....Austin Aries.
