TNA Bound For Glory PPV on-site report: Dot Net reader scores a backstage pass to TNA's biggest show of the year, TNA Knockout complains that her, um, female part was injured

Dot Net reader Jason Twite of Batavia, Ill. filed the following report after attending TNA's Bound For Glory in Chicago on Sunday night.
I thought I would pass along my unique experience from BFG last night and verify that the backstage pass for the loudest fans is 100 percent legit. I received the first pass Jeremy Borash handed out before the show. It shocked the crap out of me as I admittedly was not one of the loudest, but I did a good job of getting his attention while sitting fourth row on the aisle.
About eight of us went behind the curtain at 9 p.m. as the Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett match began. ODB, Jay Lethal, Rhaka Khan, Taylor Wilde, and Johnny Devine all came around the corner from the dressing room to shake hands, sign autographs and take photos. It was rush-rush back there and I did not hear much from Devine or Khan. Wilde was pleasant with everyone; ODB and Lethal get the thumbs-up for above and beyond kindness. They thanked everyone for coming, gave every autograph anyone requested one, and were not in a hurry to get away from us. After spending about five minutes back there, we all were escorted away by Atlas security.
Other Notes
Eric Young was in suit-n-tie behind the gorilla position watching monitors with a couple refs. Kip James walked around the corner towards us. He kind of eyed everyone down and just kept walking. As we were about to leave, A.J. Styles walked around and several people shouted for him but he was quickly directed away from us. Damn.
Other close encounters include Vince Russo just strolling right through the crowd and past the group of us waiting to go backstage. He didn't say a word. Prior to the show, my buddy and I walked out of the lower level restrooms and were entering the floor back through the tunnel when two guards crossed our paths with Mick Foley. No one paid any attention to him so I figured I should, "Hey, uh... I think Mick Foley just walked by!" And Mick looked back and did his usual goofy wide-open smile and said, "Yeah!" Dixie Carter, in addition to photos with the TNA title, shook hands and thanked everyone seated along the entrance ramp.
Random Observations
Hernandez looked like he legit got knocked for a loop on the outside and was down for several minutes. Homicide grabbed a water off the announce table and got Hernandez's attention. He made him drink a bunch of it and poured it on his head. Hernandez was still slow to get going again after that. The dumb video screens kept cutting in and out and 95 percent of the arena who couldn't see the flaming table spot didn't get to see it live on the screen either. They showed three replays however. Abyss was helped backstage a few minutes later and received a good applause from fans nearby. The crowd was completely dead during the first half of the main event when they fought through the crowd. No one outside of where they were in the crowd were cheering or doing anything. We were more pissed that we couldn't see. Sting's victory felt the weakest or underwhelming of his three at Bound For Glory.
Line of the night: "My vagina hurts!" -- Christy Hemme, while walking out after the dark match where she missed on a middle rope split-legged leg drop. I, of course, asked her to repeat that and she turned, winked, and kept walking.
