#2 AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels in a 30-Minute Iron Man Match for the TNA X-Division Championship - Bound For Glory 2005

Bound For Glory 2005 was the first edition of the pay-per-view for IMPACT Wrestling. The event had a lot of changes happen ahead of the night, but the company responded by delivering a rollercoaster of emotion throughout the show.

At this time, the hallmark of the promotion was their superb X-Division and that was on full display during the show.

This was also the first major event to take place following IMPACT Wrestling debuting on Spike TV. On the previous pay-per-view, the greatest encounter in company history took place when AJ Styles defeated Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe to win the X-Division Championship in an amazing three-way bout. The rivalry between Styles and Daniels culminated here in an Iron Man Match.

It was the perfect two competitors to deliver a showstealer on the Bound For Glory 2005 card and be pitted against each other in an Iron Man Match. They delivered a 30-minute wrestling clinic.

This followed a similar formula to Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 12 where both men couldn't quite beat the other, but at a stellar pace.

The desperation was on with five minutes to go and the pace picked up even more. They traded strikes and enziguris before Styles and Daniels both looked for roll-ups to get the pinfall.

However, AJ was able to hit the Styles Clash with just a second left on the clock to win and retain the X-Division Championship at Bound For Glory 2005.
