Series 2......

TNA's blockbuster creation, the Bound for Glory Series is back, new and improved, with all the bugs and kinks worked out. The problem with last year's event was consistency. TNA would state their rules and then tweak them as the series went along. THIS YEAR, however, things have been simplified. The points system remains the same, but the end result gets simple.....very simple.

Points are awarded not only by IF you win a match, but HOW you win as well.....
-Submission victory......10 Points
-Pinfall victory................7 Points
-Count out victory..........5 Points
-DQ victory....................3 Points
-Draw.............................2 Points
-DQ loss......................-10 Points

These rules may look simple, but it gets far more so. The top points holders will be locked into a bracket and will compete in the final leg of the series at the No Surrender PPV. The winner from there will move on to compete in the Main Event at Bound for Glory. Simple, yes?

Speculating on the participants should be fairly easy as you can basically just name those who are receiving the most amount of screen time. By my best guess so far, I'd say we're looking at.....

Bully Ray
Abyss
Jeff Hardy
Devon
James Storm
Crimson
Hernandez
Austin Aries
AJ Styles
Samoa Joe
Kurt Angle
RVD

Why these 12? Why not others? THAT, I believe, we will find out for sure this week on Impact Wrestling on Spike. Whoever the top contenders are, you can be sure we'll see some of the best rivalries and matches going into this summer as the top prize is worthwhile enough to bring it all to the dance.
