D’Angelo Dinero was taken out of this match due to a family emergency. The action during this match went several feet above the ropes holding the title as Amazing Red, Suicide, and Daniels all went to top of the metal truss that held the ropes in place. Suicide and Daniels took each other out of contention for the title when Suicide delivered a move on Daniels while tossing him off the ropes.

TNA Knockouts Championship: Champion ODB vs. Tara vs. Awesome Kong – During the match, something happened outside the ring with Tara and a fan. Security wound up Tara to the back. Tara came back a few minutes later. Raisha Saeed then came out and tried to give Kong a chair. She didn’t want it and the two kept passing it back to each other. The chair was in the ring when ODB reversed an Awesome Bomb from Kong and planted her on the chair with a face buster to get the win. Winner: ODB
Submissions Match: Bobby Lashley vs. Samoa Joe – Lashley entered the match with taped ribs due to the recent attacks he has received from Rhino and Samoa Joe.

Winner: Lashley
Monster’s Ball Match: Mick Foley vs. Abyss – Dr. Stevie was that referee for this match and Abyss was banned from using thumbtacks. During the match, Dr. Stevie brought the bag of thumbtacks into the ring. When Abyss was going to put Foley in them, Dr. Stevie stopped him. Stevie was then beaten up by Abyss. A second referee came in and he screwed up the match by counting three on Abyss after Foley used a taser on the groin of Abyss. He then reversed his decision and claimed it was a 2 count. This referee was beaten up by Dr. Stevie. Abyss then went on a rampage. He threw Daffney from the ring through a barbed wire board set up between the ring barricade and the apron.

After the match, AJ called Sting back to the ring and wanted him to address the crowd. Sting told the crowd that he isn’t sure if he will be back again. Winner: AJ Styles
What Does This Event Mean for the Future?
This was a changing of the guard show for TNA. Last year at this time, the veteran’s of the Main Event Mafia were running roughshod over the younger stars of TNA. Tonight, Sting passed the torch to AJ Styles while Kurt Angle’s performance tonight has elevated Matt Morgan into a legitimate main event star.




I attended Bound for Glory and was sitting in the front row. Just wanted to add that during the triple threat match for the legends title, when Hernandez gets thrown into the turnbuckle half way through the match, a few of his teeth get knocked out and he spat them out to the floor. They landed right in forn tof our feet. Three of them, still connected. Was quite gross.
