Another year, another Bound For Glory PPV event, another Bound For Glory main event featuring Sting challenging for the World title… again. I’ve got little to say about this edition, as I was largely ignoring TNA for the most part, so we’ll see if this is at least better than last year’s show that I sampled last week.

TNA Bound For Glory 2007
Definitely entering uncharted territory here, kids, as I have never seen this show before and… well, let’s get into it, I suppose.
TNA Bound For Glory 2006 (redo)
For the sake of full disclosure, today’s post is just a repost of the original Bound For Glory 2006 musings that I did back in 2018, which you can view by clicking here. I wasn’t really intending on redoing this, but I gave the show another watch, and while I felt the original post still had merit, hindsight and perspective did make me re-evaluate things and I ended up with more things to say on the matter.
This was one of the few TNA DVDs that I managed to snag back when those were still a thing. The DVD itself is nothing special – they split the show into 2 discs and you had a couple extras at most. Nowhere near the spectacle of WWE’s sets whenever they used to put one out for Wrestlemania, but for watching the show, it wasn’t a bad deal. This was also notable for being the TNA PPV debut of Kurt Angle, after his signing was announced at the last one and after he made his formal TNA debut on the go-home edition of IMPACT that planted the seeds for the monster feud he’d have with Samoa Joe.
Anyway, here we go again, kids. It’s Bound For Glory 2006, circa 2018, reposted in 2026. Will wonders ever cease? Sure, they will… but that’s besides the point and I digress…
TNA Bound For Glory 2005
So we’re going to spend the rest of the year (pretty much) going through all xx Bound For Glory events, from the very first event in 2005 to (possibly) this year’s event. There’s a couple that we’ll probably skip since I’ve already done those and I think those musings hold up… but that leaves us with a bunch more to look at.
And who knows? Maybe I’ll give you all a break and give you something else to watch.
TNA Rebellion 2026
This PPV musings is brought to you by Pat MacAfee… who is unrelated to the AntiVirus Software brand… which is also quite dreadful, if I’m being honest.
So for those who missed the AEW Dynasty musings this past Thursday, I mentioned that my buddy supplied me with DVD recordings of last weekend’s PPV offerings for me to watch and possibly do musings on. I dug Dynasty quite a bit, enough that I planned on watching Dynamite and actually have it playing in the background as I’m typing this Rebellion musings.
I’ve heard horrid things about this TNA show, though to be honest with you, with the exception of one or two matches, I didn’t think this was all that bad… but let’s dive in for a bit.
TNA Bound For Glory 2024
Yeah, we’re doing this show.
So, I will be confess a bit here. I had a lot of this written down back in October when this show was taking place and I was mostly enjoying it until the main event finish that left me… well… so I canned this, held it off for later, and then something magical happened. Joe Hendry won the TNA World title at Genesis 2025 and then got the biggest pop of his career at the Royal Rumble. You know what? Good for Joe. He’s got a future in WWE once his TNA run is done.
So now we’re going back to this show when TNA had just one job and they bungled it. They eventually course-corrected because… well, let’s be honest. TNA World Champion DOLPH ZIGGLER wasn’t getting that big a pop. But we’re revisiting this show and we’re going to pretend that this show is still fresh in my mind… mostly because I’ve had emotion penned in and I don’t want to ruin that emotion just yet.
Anyhoo… here we go.
TNA Genesis 2025
Congratulations, TNA. It took you a little while, but you finally believe in Joe Hendry.
Welcome to the rest of us.
Truth be told, I did not intend on watching this show because I was largely busy that weekend, but I did make a point to catch the replay if the above happened and sure enough, that’s what we got. And so here we are. I also plan on doing musings for the Bound For Glory show from months ago, but that’s for later down the road. Right now, we’ve got this show… which also featured some involvement from NXT talent thanks to the recent TNA/WWE deal that sees a talent exchange between both groups. Now if you were to tell me fifteen years ago that TNA and WWE would not only be on good terms with each other, but go so far as to have some limited form of talent exchange, I’d call you nuts. In fact, I still think this is nuts. Still, good on TNA. This is a good thing for them, along with the move to Sportsnet 360 up in Canada, which gives them slightly more visibility (as well as priority, since TNA being owned by Anthem – a Canadian company – makes them defacto CANADIAN CONTENT that must be showcased.)
Anyway, besides the above, there’s a whole lot of show to cover here, so let’s dive in.
TNA Against All Odds 2006
Before he feuded with people whose fathers were DEAD, Christian Cage was a guy that people liked, but WWE treated as a midcarder. So one day, he decides to leave WWE and ply his trade in TNA, where he’d eventually get a title match against reigning NWA World Champion Jeff Jarrett.
Took me a while, but I finally got to watch this show and… eh…
Let’s dive in…
TNA Final Resolution 2007
We’ve got a 30-minute Ironman rubber match between Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle. Three matches in three months. That’s the only reason why I’m watching tolerating this show. My only hope is that it’s better than the last one.
TNA Turning Point 2006
Turning Point 2006 was the final TNA PPV of the year and featured the (not) long-awaited (enough) rematch between Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe, which was pretty much the hottest thing they had going at the time. Kurt Angle, of course, gave Samoa Joe his first real defeat (that wasn’t a 3-way loss where someone else took the fall) and kicked off a career renaissance of sorts. Conventional wisdom would suggest holding off the rematch for later down the road, but sometimes, wrestling promotions rarely follow conventional wisdom. And I don’t say that as a knock on Vince Russo, who was hired back by TNA earlier that year. WWE has been guilty of the same thing as well over the years.
Anyway, it’s Joe vs. Angle II. Something they could’ve held off a couple months until their next big tentpole event, but I guess TNA felt threatened by that ECW PPV taking place the same month with a week’s worth of build. I wonder how that show turned out.
