Mike Tenay - Welcome, everyone, to TNA's premier event. Welcome to Bound For Glory. I'm Mike Tenay joined by my broadcast partner, Don West. And, Don, what a card we have tonight. Don West - That's right, Mike. Four title matches, an Ultimate X match, a grudge match, and to top it all off we will finally learn the identity of TNA's newest wrestler. Mike Tenay - Of all the names that have appeared in TNA over the past four years -- Christian Cage, Kevin Nash, Booker T, Scott Hall, Sting -- management has promised that this new name will be the biggest name in TNA history. Don West - UNREAL! When you take a look at that list of names that have come to TNA and to think the newests TNA signee is the biggest name on that list...it's just unreal! Mike Tenay - Lets take it to the ring with JB for our first match of the evening... (Bound For Glory progresses as it normally would. All scheduled matches and backstage segments take place as they had been promoted for the card. After the main event, the performers leave the ring as Mike Tenay and Don West re-cap the evening. Suddenly, the TNA Arena goes dark. The TNA signs hung throughout the arena flash on and off and a sole light shines on one of the stages as Kurt Angle's video package pays. The crowd goes insane as images of Angle are shown on the big screen. As Angle rises from beneath the stage and into the arena...) Mike Tenay - Holy Shit! Don West - UNREAL! Are you kidding me! Mike Tenay - Don! It's Kurt Angle! It's Kurt Angle! Kurt Angle is the newest member of the TNA Roster! Kurt Angle has made his way into TNA! (Kurt Angle walks takes his time walking to the ring, smiling as he relishes in the standing ovation and the extremely loud "Angle! Angle! Angle!" chants. As Kurt makes his way to the ring, he stands a moment in front of the announcer's table. The viewing audience gets a look a the very real and very genuine looks of surprise, shock, and awe on Don and Mike's faces. Angle walks around the ring, smiling at the fans as they chant his name. Kurt finally makes it full circle around the ring and walks up the steps and gets into the TNA ring for the first time. Angle does his patented spin as he enters the ring and poses mid-ring. Angle is handed a mic. Angle stands in the middle of the ring with mic in hand as the in-house crowd are still giving him a standing ovation and chanting "Angle! Angle! Angle!". Kurt finally raises the mic to his mouth...) Kurt Angle - Hey. (This very simple, one word greeting sends the TNA crowd into yet another "Angle! Angle! Angle!" chant. Angle smiles widely) Kurt Angle - ...or maybe I should have said "Baa-ahh". That's what you are -- each and every one of you. (Points to the crowd) Every one of you sitting out there right now and (points to the camera) and every one of you watching at home -- you are all nothing but little sheep that do exactly what you are told. Christian Cage comes to TNA so you chant "Christan, Christian, Christian". Booker T comes to TNA so you chant "Booker, Booker, Booker". So it should come as no surprise that when Kurt Angle comes to TNA you all chant "Angle, Angle, Angle". Give me fricken break! (The fans mumble in confusion) Kurt Angle - As a matter of a fact, this whole damn company can give me a break! (Kurt makes air quotes) "TNA: We are Wrestling!" (Stops making air quotes) TNA is wrestling? Really? Where? Where is this wrestling? Is it Eric Young and James Storming coming out to the ring and drinking a beer? Is it Robert Roode coming out to the ring and yelling at a woman? Is it Jay Lethal coming out wishing he was a Macho macho man? Is it those damn Dud -- sorry, I mean (air quotes) "Team 3D" whipping the X Division wrestlers? Is that where the wrestling is hiding? Behind Brother Ray's fat ass? Because it sure as hell isn't in this ring! (The crowd starts turning against Kurt Angle, but reacts favorably at Angle's slam against Team 3D) Kurt Angle - I am an Olympic Gold Medalist. I am a six time World Wrestling Heavyweight Champion. I've wrestled with a broken fricken neck. I AM wrestling! TNA isn't wrestling. Kurt Angle IS wrestling! (The majority of the crowd has turned against Angle by this point, booing him. A small percentage of the crowd is still cheering for Angle as a small but noticeable "Angle" chant breaks out) Kurt Angle - But don't worry, little sheep. I -- Kurt Angle -- will save this failure of a company from its miserable little existence. I will take this company that at this point is nothing and I will raise it up. I will raise it up to something great! I will turn this little company from a running joke into things legends are made from! (The crowd continues to hiss at Angle with a very small percentage of fans still on Angle's side) Kurt Angle - But my services do not come cheap. No! On top of a very, very lucrative contract I have been awarded a World Title shot at any time I want! On any day of the week, I can say I want a World Title shot and TNA is contractually obligated to give it to me! You all may not know it, but that world title is already mine -- and I'll take it whenever I damn well want it! (The crowd continues to react unfavorably toward Kurt Angle) Kurt Angle - Everybody in the back better get ready because it doesn't matter if your name is Christian Cage, if your name is Booker T, if your name is Sting, Abyss, or even if your name is Samoa Joe..you will all fall victim to Kurt Angle. That is my World Title, this is my ring, these are my fans, TNA is my company! (Angle looks towards the crowd) Kurt Angle - Oh, it's real. It's damn real! You are all Angle fans. And if you aren't, I'll just replace you with better fans. Because it's on now. Kurt Angle has joined TNA and the floodgates have opened! Fans are going to be lining up around the block to get in and watch TNA now. Everyone is going to want to be present when I run through that entire locker room and claim my World Title. Because I have just unleashed into TNA something that has never been seen before. Something TNA claims they have but never show: Wrestling. Kurt Angle IS wrestling. It's real...oh it's damn real! |

I don't mind the heel turn, but I found the promo weak. I am interested in episode 3 though so keep it up. |

As I read it, I was picturing Kurt giving the promo in the ring. I just couldn't picture that promo coming from Kurt. You got your point across, but I just couldn't picture Kurt saying most of it.

So is your criticism that the promo was weak because it wasn't written as strong as it could have been or that it was weak because I'm not fully in tune with Angle's character? |

I guess it would be the latter part, not fully in tune with Angle's character. Others may not see it that way, but that's how it came across to me. |

Ok, I know what I need to work on as I progress. But lets narrow it down a bit more. What about the promo seemed so out of tune with Angle? As I was typing this, I was mentally picturing one of Angle's intense promos where his head gets all red, his neck veins pop out, and he spits as he talks. Maybe it would go over better if I tried to work the promo through the comedic Angle? |

I don't necessarily need or want to see the comedy Angle. I like that you went with the intense version. If you want, I'll quote you the parts that kind of lost me in the promo:
While he did have some lines that were Angle like," Something TNA claims they have but never show: Wrestling. Kurt Angle IS wrestling. It's real...oh it's damn real!", a lot didn't come across as well to me. I have to leave for lunch, but I'll be glad to talk more later if you want... |

The Best in SWF

I remain intrigued. But I still hate how he uses "real" instead of "True" in TNA... |
