It is the year 2011 and Hulk Hogan is headlining a goddamned PPV main event… or rather the co-main event, as we also have TNA World Champion Kurt Angle defending his title against Robert Roode or something, but let’s be real. Which match would TNA rather focus on? The usual World Title offering that will be all kinds of awesome or another HULK HOGAN match long past the man’s prime years?

This is another show that I’ve not watched before, but I had to remind myself about a couple controversies that took place on this show. We’ll dive in as the show progresses, but I found myself with more to say on this show and the surroundings than I would have thought, which might make for  a more interesting read

For the sake of full disclosure, today’s Bound For Glory musings is a repost of the same musings I did back in 2024, which you can read here. Unlike the 2006 repost where I redid a lot of the text, this post is more or less intact because my thoughts on the dog shit that came out of this show still hold up and I have nothing to add to the mix. And given that I’m watching this after the passing of Hulk Hogan last year, the fact that I’m keeping the text as is should be seen as some sort of mercy.

In any event, it’s the notorious 10-10-10 edition of Bound For Glory. Otherwise known as Vincent “Big Vinny V” Verhei’s birthday… yeah, not quite a happy birthday for him, I’m sure.

For those who have followed this blog for who knows how long… first off, my condolences. But secondly, you’re no doubt aware of how much I don’t care for 2010-era TNA. This was the time when Hulk Hogan was signed with the company and we were trying to recreate the glory days of WCW, except with the guy responsible for writing the shitty days of WCW. Coincidentally, this guy also had a hand in the WWF Attitude Era train, but that train also had stars that people cared about and were more than willing to forgive a few bad ideas. Take that aspect away and you get WCW 2000… or TNA 2006-2012.

Anyway, this show is a thing that happened for some reason and I can’t even explain why anyone would want to watch this show. It’s dreadful. The whole thing was based on crowning a new TNA World Champion after the title was declared vacant due to bullshit I’d rather not revisit and also surrounding the identities of the mysterious “THEY” that Abyss had teased were coming… and then the world found out and was like…

WHAT?

So naturally, I didn’t watch the PPV back in the day because I wasn’t a total lost cause back in the day… except for whenever WWE programming was involved, which wasn’t any better at that time, either. But at the very least, WWE had a hot thing going in this fresh new Nexus faction before they completely shit the bed with those guys. TNA didn’t even have that much.

And so, here we are… fourteen SIXTEEN years later and I’m watching this show to see what I missed out on and then wonder why I didn’t choose to dedicate this space to a TNA show that I actually DID enjoy. Anyway, my misery is your misery, so let’s get this shitshow over with.

Another year, another Bound For Glory PPV event, another title shot for the ICON known as Sting. Is AJ Styles the one to break the curse? Tune in and find out (or not… I really don’t care.)

I will say this right off the bat… I kinda regret watching this show for reasons that I will get into at the end of the musings.

Definitely entering uncharted territory here, kids, as I have never seen this show before and… well, let’s get into it, I suppose.

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…

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.

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.
