TNA Fans! It’s October, and on the company’s schedule, that can only mean one thing! The company, the wrestlers, and their diehard fans are bound for glory at, well, the aptly titled Bound for Glory! For all of the staples in the TNA calendar (Slammiversary, Turning Point, Victory Road, Genesis, etc), it is Bound for Glory that serves as the company’s biggest event of the year. And, in that spirit, the card should not disappoint!

Obviously, the show’s biggest drawing point is the TNA World Heavyweight Title Match, as TNA fans (and I am sure, Carlos Silva and TNA Brass) are hopeful that Mike Santana brings the title back home, as he faces the reigning and defending champion Trick Williams. But naturally, it stands to reason that the card offers a lot more matches of interest as well.

We’ll start with the “One Final Table” Match, wherein the TNA World Tag Team Champions (and now also the TNA Tag Team Champions) Matt and Jeff Hardy will face one of their biggest rivals in their long and illustrious history, Team 3-D fka The Dudley Boys, Bully Ray and Devon, with both sets of tag titles now on the line!

But those two matches aren’t the only titles on the line, as the TNA Knockouts Title will be defended by Kelani Jordan, as she faces Indi Hartwell. The TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles will also be on the line, as Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay, collectively known as the IInspiration, will defend the straps against the team that they dethroned for the titles weeks ago, The Elegance Brand.

On the men’s side, the X-Division Title will be on the line, as Leon Slater will defend the belt against Je’Von Evans in a cross promotional match between TNA and NXT. The International Title will be on the line, as The King of TNA, Frankie Kazarian, will defend the belt against the man that he took the title from at Victory Road, Steve Maclin.

And lest we forget about the non-title matches, which will prove to be of high interest, particularly the CYS Gauntlet in terms of future title movement. In such a case, the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match will feature 20 competitors, constitute to both men and women, with the winner getting a trophy and a guaranteed title shot within one year’s time. We know that the very lovely and amazing Lei Ying Lee will start the match off, and The Southern Psycho Mance Warner will be number 20. Between those entrants, we know that Xia Brookside, Mara Sade, Joe Hendry, The Hometown Man, and both Ryan and Nick Nemeth will partake in the match as well.

And if that is not enough, we will also see a 10-person intergender Hardcore War match, pitting the System (Both Alisha and Eddie Edwards, JDC, Brian Myers, and Moose) versus the Order Four (Mustafa Ali, Jason Hotch, John Skyler, Agent Zero, and Tasha Steelz). Finally, we will have Gia Miller going up against Tessa Blanchard in a match that, had it not featured the typical bully and bullied cliche, should have been on the Pre-show in place of the KO Tag Team Title Match.

All of that and, perhaps still, so much more, on the company’s biggest offering of the year! So, let’s get ready to get Bound…For Glory!

(I apologize for nothing lol)

Tonight, Bound for Glory is LIVE from the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts! The company A-Team of Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt will be on the call tonight!

Sean Grande narrates a video package for tonight’s show to start us off.

Hannifan hypes up the show only to be cut off so the US Marines can perform the National Anthem. And, no, Virigina, there was no booing of the anthem here.

As fitting as humanly possible, Steve Maclin makes his entrance with the Marines lined up on both sides of the aisle. He will try and win his title back next!

TNA International Title: Frankie Kazarian (C) vs. Steve Maclin

Maclin hits the SCUD on Kazarian as he makes his entrance. He throws him into the ring as the bell sounds officially. Maclin with the ten corner punches, and he throws Kazarian into the corner, as he does a Shawn Michaels spot if he fell to the floor lol. Maclin smacks him around a little bit, he returns him to the ring again, but this time, the Champion hits a springboard leg drop! SUNSET BOMB TO THE FLOOR BY KAZARIAN! TNA Chants go up!

Frankie returns to the ring, initially content to take the count out, but he instead goes outside and throws Maclin into the ring steps. He stomps on the challenger, and Frankie approaches Steve’s Mom at ring side. I can’t see this ending well lol. Mama Maclin flips off Frankie LOL! Amazing! Steve uses this distraction to assault Frankie and return him to the ring.

Maclin with a modified Thesz Press as he takes Frankie to the corner. Frankie looking Chicken Wing, but a back elbow by Maclin leads into the Angle Slam. Maclin puts Kazarian in the Tree of WHOA. He’s got locked and loaded on Kazarian, but Frankie avoids it. He does back into a Chicken Wing from Maclin! Frankie rolls out of it and grabs the ropes in front of the referee lol.

Frankie looking for another leg drop off the ropes, but Maclin catches him and applies the Boston Crab! In/Near Boston! Kazarian gets to the ropes, as Maclin tells the ref to go fuck herself. Kazarian uses Steve’s rage against him and pays tribute to Christopher Daniels with an Angel’s Wings for a two count! Frankie puts Maclin on the top rope, thinking Fade to Black from the top, but Maclin bites the forehead of Kazarian, and he throws him to the mat. Maclin with the Jar-Headbutt, but he misses it. Slingshot Cutter by Kazarian! The cover, two count!

Kazarian takes Maclin to the corner and sits him on the top. Maclin in the Tree of WOAH! Kazarian tries to steal Maclin’s Crosshairs, but Steve moves, and Frankie is back in the Tree of WOAH! Maclin shows him how it’s done proper! KIA from Maclin! The cover and… the win??? 

WINNER: Steve Maclin

Post-Match, Steve leaves the ring and celebrates with Mama Maclin. They both flip off the camera lol.

Hannifan introduces us to the French announce team, and Handsome JF looks like a French version of Don Callis lol.

Tom and Matt rundown the rest of the card.

The host of Bound for Glory, Gabby Laspisa, introduces TNA World Champion Trick Williams. She wants to know how he is preparing for the biggest moment of his life.

Trick says you have it wrong; you should be thanking Trick for bringing in more fans, you should be thanking Trick for match ratings, and for putting the company on his back and calling it Trick-N-A. Trick has his lawyer here, and his lawyer says he turned TNA upside down, hence the reason why Trick wears the title belt upside down.

Apparently, nobody in TNA or NXT likes Trick. Trick has lawyer here because he will put cases on snitches if they get out of line and want to cheat. There will be no distractions and no chance of Mike Santana taking this title from him. Now let’s talk about that!

We get an in-depth look for the upcoming Gia Miller and Tessa Blanchard match. Both Tessa and Gia comment on their history. Tessa says Gia took her ball and went home when she couldn’t hack it and found a jobber to teach her how to wrestle. Gia says that Tessa had to move to an entirely different country because she burned every single bridge that she had in this company.

I mean, Gia tells no lies lol.

Tessa Blanchard W/Victoria Crawford vs. Gia Miller W/Jody Threat

Tessa mocks Gia as the bell rings, telling her to take a headlock. Gia does, but Tessa fights out and kicks her. Gia with a snapmare and a roll-up for a two count. Tessa takes Gia to the corner and stomps on her. Tessa drags Gia under the bottom rope and stomps on Gia while she is against the ring steps. Tessa moves the top ring steps and hits a suplex to Miller onto the ring steps. Tessa and Victoria taunt the crowd, and Tessa beats on Gia in front of Miller’s family, who made the trip here from Mississippi.

Blanchard returns Miller to the ring and chokes her with her leg against the bottom rope. Crawford slaps Miller while Blanchard has the ref. Superkick by Tessa to Gia, and Blanchard stretches out Gia in the corner. Crawford back on the apron in front of the referee, and Jody pulls her off the apron. The Ref ejects Victoria from the match as a result.

Tessa throws Gia out of the ring and argues with security about Victoria being ejected. Threat uses this distraction as she climbs to the top and wipes out everyone on the floor! Jody chases Victoria up the aisle and out of the arena! Miller is back, as she hits Tessa with a drop kick and clothesline. A corner crossbody gets Miller a two count. Tessa stops her momentum with a big boot, and she attacks Gia in the corner. She rips off the top turnbuckle cover, and shoves Gia’s face in it. Gia grabs Tessa and carries her out of the corner while the Ref puts the cover back on. But Tessa had a roll of quarters and smashes Gia in the head with it! The ref turns around and counts the three!

WINNER: Tessa Blanchard

Bioflex Injury Report! Both members of Team 3-D are cleared to compete! Matt Hardy is hurting, but he is cleared to compete tonight. Joe Hendry is TBD for upcoming events, while Eric Young has been cleared to compete. Trick Williams and Mike Santana have been evaluated and are cleared for the main event tonight.

JDC smashes the helmet into the chair and right into Skyler’s ding-ding! JDC charges the corner and he hits a plancha to the floor on both Great Hands! JDC grabs a cheese grater from under the ring, and John Skyler gets his face ripped up by it! Somewhere, New Jack is putting up the X in honor of that.

TNA Originals, documenting the rise of Leon Slater in TNA.

Extreme Fan Cam shows us the fans in section 115. Hey, I wonder if one Dante on Deck went to that show, since he is from Mass.

Hannifan and Rehwoldt discuss the “One Last Table” Match between Team 3-D and the Hardy Boys. But before that, we have the X-Division Title Match! And, not for nothing, but I am expecting nothing less than four stars. Don’t let me down, guys!

TNA X-Division Title: Leon Slater (C) vs. Je’Von Evans

No Mackenzie in-ring intro for this match, which upsets me a little bit. The bell rings, as both men take in the fan reaction. Evans and Slater both hype up the crowd some more before they first touch.

THIS IS AWESOME chants as both men shake hands. Early lock-up favors Slater, as he grabs a headlock. Slater sent off, but he trucks Evans. Slater fakes out Evans with a kick, but he instead claps and laughs at him. Another lock-up, as Evans fights Slater to the corner. Evans pretends to give a clean break, fakes the chop, and then mocks Slater’s reaction to it. Another lock-up, as Slater rolls up Evans for a one count. Evans with his own roll-up for a two count. Evans with a hip toss, he cartwheels into a standing splash, but Slater moves, and both men get back to their feet and mock the Spider-Man meme lol.

Evans grabs control in the next lock-up with two front face slams. He takes Slater to the ropes, but Leon shoves him to the mat. Je’Von doesn’t look happy about this, as they tie up and fight to the corner. Chops ensue, as Slater is sent from the ring. Evans runs the ropes and hits a suicide dive to Slater.

Evans looks back at the French announce table, but Slater with a pump kick to Evans. Slater back in the ring, he tries another slingshot cutter, but Evans wiggles over top of Slater and hits a DDT!

Slater rolls out to the apron, Evans still in the ring. HE SPRINGBOARDS OUT OF THE RING TO THE APRON AND HITS AN OG CUTTER TO SLATER AND TO THE FLOOR! Referee Paige starts the count, as Evans makes it in at seven, and Slater at nine. Evans was waiting for Slater, as he hits a splash to the back of the Champion! Zone One by Slater from 3/4 of the way across the ring! The cover, but Slater kicks out at 2.8!

THIS IS AWESOME chants, and I fully endorse that. Slater grabs on to the foot of Evans to stop him from trying anything. Super forearm from Slater! Standing Rana by Evans! Corkscrew kick by Slater! RED DOT FROM EVANS! Evans with the OG Cutter, but Slater snaps him out of the air with a release German!

In the words of John Zandig…JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZUS!

Both men are wobbly as they get back to their feet. Slater kicks Evans and keeps taunting him. Slater gives himself up to Evans and tells him to hit him. Evans feigns a chop, but he hits a standing cutter! OG CUTTER! THE COVER, BUT SLATER KICKS OUT AT 2.999999! Evans to the top, but Slater is alive and meets him up top. Both men fall from the top rope and crash to the floor!

Slater goes to the barricade and jumps up on it, but Slater shoves him off and into the crowd. EVANS FLIES OVER THE BARRICADE AND WIPES OUT SLATER! The bell has just rung. What…The…FARK?

Both men get into the ring looking confused as the fans chant BULLSHIT. Santino Marella is back! Ladies and gentlemen! Ordinarily on a PPV we have a very strict time limit! However, it seems to me, that we want to see FIVE MORE MINUTES!

The bell rings, and Evans hits a Claymore! The OG Cutter is cut off, Slater with Utopia! BIG PLAY SLATER AS HE CLEARS THE RING POST AND WIPES OUT EVANS! Slater to the top, but Evans is back from the dead. SPANISH FLY FROM THE TOP! Evans goes for the cover, but the lights go out.

Dark State is here! They launch an attack on both Slater and Evans. The bell never rang, but I am calling it.

WINNER: We all were winners, until RETRIBUTION 2.0 showed up

We see Mike Santana and Trick Williams getting ready for the main event.

Chris Bey is back! He is the ultimate finesser, your girl’s favorite wrestler, and he is tapping in at BEY for Glory. That was clever. They slipped a piece of paper into his pocket. He announces that TNA has set a new North American attendance record with 7,794 fans! He hypes the crowd up for TABLES before the next match.

Video package for the One Last Table Match.

Team-3D make their entrance with tables. SPIKE DUDLEY IS HERE, TOO! He gives the brothers their famous “seeing” glasses! Awesome!

The Hardys, naturally, bring out a ladder. Makes total sense!

Mackenzie with super intros for both teams.

One Last Table Match for the NXT and TNA Tag Team Titles: The Hardys (C) vs. Team 3-D

Just so it’s understood, both members of the team have to go through a table for the match to end.
The bell finally rings, and we get a tentative stare down.

After a minute, there still has been no action. We’ve had a variety of chants, however.

Okay, now we have action. Jeff charges Bubba, but he throws him out of the ring. 3-D straight away to Matt! Jeff back in and he fights both Dudley’s for a bit. That gets shutdown, though, and Jeff ends up taking the WHAT’s UP headbutt. Bubba shoves D-Von…D-VON, GET THE TABLES!

Naturally, D’Von obliges, as he slides two tables into the ring. 3-D on Jeff through the table!

Jeff Hardy has been eliminated from the match

Matt returns to the ring with a steel chair. Bubba takes the chair away from Matt and they throw Matt to the floor and into the barricade. D-Von sets up a table at ring side. D-Von approaches Matt, but he hits D-Von with a Twist of Fate! Matt lays D-Von on the table, he does his pose and jumps from the apron. D-Von moves, and Matt ends up exploding the table.

That doesn’t count, of course, because Matt put himself through the table. Jeff is back, as takes D-Von off the apron and to the floor. D’Von fights with Jeff up the ramp and to the table, ladder, and chair set up. Bubba has set up a table in the ring, he goes to whip Matt into it, but he moves, and Bubba hits the table. It doesn’t count at any rate, plus the table didn’t explode. Meanwhile in the aisle, D-Von climbs the ladder and looks to put Jeff through the table, but Matt escapes and climbs the ladder to cut off D-Von. They lay D’Von on the table, as Matt jams the chair into D’Von. Jeff climbs to the very top of the ladder, SWANTON BOMB FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER THROUGH D-VON AND THROUGH THE TABLE!

D-Von Dudley has been eliminated from the match

And so that leaves us with Matt Hardy and Bubba Ray Dudley, or Bully Ray, as Tom keeps calling him. Both Hardy’s return to ring side, as they bring out another table from under the ring. Matt and Jeff take turns hitting Bubba with chair shots to the back. Matt sets up the table. Matt holds up Bubba, but he moves, and Jeff launches the chair at Matt instead.

Bubba looks to put Jeff through a table (why, I don’t know, because he is eliminated), but Matt moves the table and hits two Twist of Fates. Both Hardys return to beating Bubba with chairs. Bubba uses the table to steady himself, perhaps a harbinger of things to come. We have a standoff, as Bubba looks at Matt and Jeff for a really long time. Like, no one does anything. The Hardys drop their chairs and instead hit a double Urinagi to Bubba through the table to win the match.

WINNER: The Hardy Boys (Still Champions)

Post-match, The Hardy’s help Bubba Ray to his feet. D-Von returns to the ring, and the four share a group hug. THANK YOU DUDLEYS chants from the crowd. The Hardys go to leave, but D-Von and Bubba stop them. D-Von and Bubba take off their boots and give them to the Hardy’s. Well, we know that the universal sign of in-ring retirement is when a wrestler leaves their boots in the ring, so this must be a trophy for the Hardys as well. That’s awesome, NGL. The guys hug again and share one final pose as the Hardys music hits.

Matt and Tom wax poetic about the match. They shill the After the Glory show after Impact this Thursday, and we get a promo for Genesis, which takes place in Dallas in three months time!

We get a video package for the main event World Title match, narrated by Konnan.

Santana enters through the people like he always does, as we get ready for what could be/should be his crowning moment in TNA. Hey, Konnan is actually here, as he meets Santana near the guard rail and accompanies Santana to the ring.

In-ring intros by Mackenzie for the main event, obviously.

I went to take stuff out to the kitchen, and I return to hear Trick talking, and then getting attacked by Santana lol.
