Bound for Glory is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced every October by the American Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion. The event was created in 2005 to be their premier event of the year, similar to the company's main rival World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and its WrestleMania event. As of November 2024, nine events have occurred under the chronology.

Since its inception in 2005, all events have been held in the United States. It has been held in five different U.S. states, where every event has been held in an indoor arena. Each event featured wrestlers from TNA competing in various professional wrestling match types. Since the inaugural event, seven championship matches have taken place in the main event. Sting has competed in the four main event match matches, in which he has wrestled for either one of two World Heavyweight Championship (NWA and TNA); TNA has controlled—the NWA World Heavyweight, owned by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) governing body, and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

History

Bound for Glory was the twelfth of the thirteen event titles TNA has produced under. Each event consist of a main event and an undercard that feature championship matches and other various matches. The first event was held in October 2005.[1] There have been a total of eight events under the chronology to take place as of November 2024.[2] The 2006 edition was the first TNA three-hour monthly PPV event to take place outside of the TNA Impact! Zone at the Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth Township, Michigan.[3] The TNA Impact! Zone is a sound stage owned by Universal Studios and operated within Universal Studios Florida; it is the home to TNA's primary television program TNA Impact!, from which the soundstage gets its name, and is where TNA holds most of it events. In 2007, TNA held Bound for Glory again outside of the Impact! Zone, this time in Duluth, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, at the Gwinnett Center on October 14, 2007.[4] This trait continued into 2008 at Bound for Glory IV, which took place at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois on October 12.[5] Bound for Glory IV was also the first event under the chronology to have Roman numerals featured in its title.

Production

On June 19, 2005 at TNA's Slammiversary PPV event, TNA commentators Mike Tenay and Don West announced that the first Bound for Glory event would take place on October 23, 2005.[12][13] Like previous monthly PPV events hosted by TNA, it was scheduled to take place at the TNA Impact! Zone, though no official announcement was made.[14] A fanfest, which TNA calls "Total Nonstop InterAction", was also being planned as early as June 2005 to stress the event being their biggest of the year.[13] On October 22, 2005 TNA held the second annual—the first being at TNA's Victory Road PPV event nearly a year earlier—Total Nonstop InterAction fanfest at the Doubletree Hotel in Orlando, Florida, where 800 fans were in attendance.[15] The fanfest help gross $45,000 in revenue for TNA.[16][N 1]

Event

Terry Gerin (shown here in 2007), better known by his ring name "Rhino", won a Monster's Ball match and defeated Jeff Jarrett for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at Bound for Glory in 2005.

The first installment of the Bound for Glory chronology took place on October 23, 2005 at the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida, where the event featured ten professional wrestling matches. Before the event began TNA aired a thirty-minute pre-show with Sonjay Dutt defeating Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong in a match involving four participants.[1] Approximately 900 people were in attendance for the event, which was the maximum capacity of the Impact! Zone at that time.[16] All three of TNA's active championships at the time were defended at the event.[17] The event was dedicated to Reginald "The Crusher" Lisowski, who had died the night before.[1] The main event on the card was Jeff Jarrett defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Rhino with Tito Ortiz as the Special Guest Referee, which Rhino won.[6] The TNA X Division Championship was also defended by A.J. Styles in a thirty-minute Iron Man match against Christopher Daniels, in which Styles retained the title.[17] There were several matches featured on the event's undercard: including a Monster's Ball match resulting in a victory for Rhino over Jeff Hardy, Sabu, and Abyss, who was accompanied by James Mitchell; an Ultimate X match to become the number one contender to the TNA X Division Championship where Petey Williams defeated Chris Sabin and Matt Bentley; and an encounter resulting in Samoa Joe defeating Jushin Liger.[18]

Reception

Bound for Glory 2005 met with generally positive reviews. Bob Kapur of the Slam Sports section of the Canadian Online Explorer rated the event a 9 out of 10.[18] Kapur commented on the overall event stating that it "was one of the best PPVs in recent memory, and has to be a strong contender for Card of the Year honours."[18] He later stated that TNA "definitely lived up to its name, delivering Total Nonstop Action from top to bottom" with a "well-executed mixture of excellent storytelling in the Iron Man match, high-flying excitement in the Ultimate X match, and brutal hardcore violence in the Monsters Ball, this show is definitely one that has to be seen, either on the replay or on the DVD when it becomes available."[18] James Caldwell, a PWTorch columnist, had different feelings toward the event, stating that the finish to the main event was "fitting, a bad close to a bad PPV."[6] Wade Keller, another PWTorch columnist, rated the Iron Man match 4 stars out of 5, while he rated the main event 1 star, which were his highest and lowest ratings during his review of the event. He did not give an overall event rating.[1] The event was released on DVD on January 31, 2006 by TNA Home Video.[19]

2006

Production

In early June 2006 TNA updated their PPV and TV taping schedule. On this schedule, the second Bound for Glory event was slotted to take place on October 22, 2006 though no location for the event was announced.[20] On July 16, 2006 at TNA's Victory Road PPV event, TNA commentators Mike Tenay and Don West introduced a video package which announced that the second Bound for Glory event would be held in Detroit, Michigan, however, its actual location was the charter township of Plymouth, Michigan at the Compuware Sports Arena, which is a suburb west of Detroit area.[21][22] This announcement meant that this would be the first monthly PPV event hosted by TNA to be held outside of the Impact! Zone or Orlando, Florida in general.[22] Another Total Nonstop InterAction event was also planned for this event, which took place on October 21, 2006.[23][24] Tickets for Bound for Glory 2006 went on sale August 5, 2006.[25] A thirty-minute "Road to Glory" special aired on October 21, 2006 highlighting the main matches on the card.[26] The song Enemy by the American heavy metal band Fozzy was used as the official theme of the show.[27]

Hailing from Plymouth, Michigan at the Compuware Sports Arena on October 22, 2006 TNA held the second annual Bound for Glory event, where it featured eight professional wrestling matches.[28] Like the previous year's incarnation, another 30-minute pre-show was featured before the event, with Bobby Roode, who was accompanied by Traci, defeating Lance Hoyt on the telecast.[29] Approximately 3,600 people were in attendance for the event,[30] which was 900 people less than the maximum capacity of the Compuware Sports Arena.[31] All three of TNA's active championships at the time were defended at the event. All three championships changed hands at the event, making this event the only time in TNA history that all have changed hands in one night.[32] The main event on the card was Jeff Jarrett defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Sting in a Title vs. Career match with Kurt Angle as the Special Outside Enforcer; Sting won the encounter to become the new champion.[33] The TNA X Division Championship was also defended by Senshi against Chris Sabin, which Sabin won to win the title.[29] The last championship match was a Six Sides of Steel cage match for the NWA World Tag Team Championship, in which A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels lost the championship to Homicide and Hernandez of The Latin American Exchange; the ring was surrounded by a steel cage in this match.[28] There were several matches featured on the event's undercard: an 8 Mile Street Fight resulting in a victory for Christian Cage over Rhino; and Samoa Joe defeating Brother Runt, Raven, and Abyss, who was accompanied by James Mitchell, in a Monster's Ball match with Jake Roberts as the Special Guest Referee.[29]

Reception

Bound for Glory 2006 met with generally positive reviews. Chris Sokol of the Slam Sports section of the Canadian Online Explorer rated the event a 7 out of 10.[33] Sokol commented on the overall event stating that it was full of "several surprises, a card full of good matches and crowd that was so hot it would've melted the Impact Zone."[33] When it came to feelings on the bouts, James Caldwell said he felt that the main event match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was "slightly above-average for a Jarrett PPV title match."[28] Caldwell also felt that the NWA World Tag Team Championship match was "just a notch below Sabin-Senshi for match of the night so far."[28] Wade Keller rated the Tag Team Championship match 4 stars out of 5, the TNA X Division Championship match 3 and 3/4 stars, and the main event 2 and 1/2 stars.[7] The event was released on DVD on January 30, 2007 by TNA Home Video.[34]
