the chances of anybody but Cowboy winning BFG Series?

somewhere between -3 & 0

Yeah Storm's winning but I think it'll be similar to last year with 2/3 guys getting pushed as a result of the BFG series. Last year it was Bully, Storm and Roode. This year I'm thinking Pope, Magnus and Storm.

Also:

-Austin Aries wrote on Twitter, providing an update on the status of the X Division title. He wrote: "To be clear: I will vacate my X-Division Championship for a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Destination X. HOWEVER.... I will officially keep my (X Division) title until July 8th, the day of the PPV, to keep my collateral and guard against being left empty handed......if shenanigans try to prevent my World Title shot, like @REALBobbyRoode catching Chickenpox or excessively pulling his groin until blind."

Looks like he'll be at 300(or is it 301) days when he drops the title.

Imagine the potential of promos between Magnus and Roode

Magnus has improved since the British Invasion days, think they'll let him run with the title next year.(at the least a tv title run)

I'm hoping that heading into 2013 they'll be going with Roode, Storm, Aries, Magnus, Bully Ray, Joe and Pope as their main event scene. With Hardy, RVD, Angle, AJ, Daniels, and Anderson occasionally getting title shots.

They were very high on Magnus, but he was a giant in England (height wise in comparison to everyone else and he was also on UK Gladiators) and Terry Taylor told TNA management about him and they hired him on the spot.

The story goes when he came in, Russo and Jarrett were like we thought he was as big as Matt Morgan, so they didn't use him like he/they thought.

He had that against him, he wrestled as for a couple of weeks as a Gladiator but they scrapped it quick and then they just threw him in with British Invasion (which wasn't bad) but I think now he is finally starting to get some shine.

Knowing TNA they are gonna have a ton load of battle royals, tag team matches, and triple threat matches for assload of points.

That final segment was the most embarrassing promo I've ever seen

AJ even looked ashamed to be out there

they've got more guys that could believably get a title shot than on Raw and Smackdown combined

Updated BFG Series Standings:

Samoa Joe and Daniels picked up points in the Bound for Glory series at last night's house show in Oshawa, Ontario. Joe got ten points with his submission victory over Robbie E, while Daniels got five points from a countout win over Kurt Angle.

James Storm and Mr. Anderson wrestled to a 10-minute time-limit draw in a Bound for Glory Series match, resulting in both men earning 2 points in the BFG Series

at this house show main event:

(5) X Division champion Austin Aries & TNA tag champions A.J. Styles & Kurt Angle defeated TNA World Hvt. champion Bobby Roode & Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian in a six-man tag match. Aries pinned Daniels following the brainbuster for the finish. Good house show main event to send the fans home happy after very little bell-to-bell ringtime on the first half of the show and a weak finish to the semi-main event. The heels stooged around and cheated behind the ref's back. They did the old "heels give their own partner arm breakers on the ring apron" comedy spot. Angle was awesome off a hot tag, suplexing everyone, including a double German suplex to Daniels and Kaz. Exciting finishing sequence with everyone hitting their big moves.

Wanna see this match redone on tv.
