The Final IV - Impact Wrestling's Bound for Glory

#2 Bound for Glory (2007)

II - Bound for Glory (2007)

Bound for Glory (2007) took place on October 14th, 2007 at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Georgia. The event drew in 4,000 wrestling fans. This would be the third Bound for Glory event in TNA’s history. This event would be a pivotal turning point for the company and featured a stellar card from top to bottom.

Some of the big match highlights included a “Tag Team Ultimate X Match” between L.A.X. (Homicide and Hernandez) versus Triple X (Senshi and “Primetime” Elix Skipper). This was a great match to kick the show off, as both teams took advantage of the Ultimate X elements and did a lot of very good high spots. The Latin American Xchange would defeat Triple X and go on to become the #1 Contenders for the TNA Tag Team Titles.

AJ Styles and Tyson Tomko became the new TNA Tag Team Champions by defeating Ron “The Truth” Killings and Consequences Creed (Xavier Woods), with NFL star Adam “Pacman” Jones in their corner. We also saw a battle for the ages, as the Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) defeated Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon) in a “Two-out-of-Three Falls Tables Match”. We also saw the traditional “Monster’s Ball” match, featuring “The Monster” Abyss defeating Raven, Rhino and Black Reign (Goldust).

Our highlighted matches were Samoa Joe defeating Christian Cage in a grudge match via submission, with Matt Morgan as the special ringside enforcer in what arguably could be considered “Match of the Night”, alongside the main event that was to come later.

The biggest moment in terms of the history of Bound for Glory and TNA came to fruition, as Gail Kim became the first ever TNA Knockouts Champion, winning a special “Gauntlet for the Gold” match by last eliminating Roxxi Laveaux. Other participants included were: Traci Brooks, Jackie Moore (Jacqueline), Shelly Martinez, Awesome Kong, O.D.B. Angel Williams (Angelina Love), Christy Hemme, and Talia Madison (Velvet Sky). This would be the pinnacle and defining moment in Gail Kim’s illustrious career, as she would later retire and become a TNA Hall of Famer in 2017.

Our main event featured a wrestling classic between two legends and TNA Hall of Famers. Sting and Kurt Angle, for the World Heavyweight Championship. This match had everything. Excitement. Drama. Wrestling. Brawling. Color (Blood). You name it. This would be one of Sting’s best matches of his TNA career, as the same could be said for Kurt Angle as well. Sting would defeat Kurt Angle to capture the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to cap off a special night in the history of TNA. TNA Bound for Glory (2007) would be one top events of 2007 and remains as one of TNA’s top pay-per-views of all time.
