Bound for Glory (wrestling pay-per-view)

The logo for Bound For Glory 2005.

Bound For Glory is the name given to professional wrestling pay-per-view events held by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in the month of October. Bound For Glory is billed as TNA's premier annual event, much in the same vein as WWE's WrestleMania, WCW's StarrCade or ECW's November To Remember.

Plans for Bound For Glory were originally discussed in 2003, and an angle featuring TNA mainstay Jeff Jarrett assaulting free agent Hulk Hogan with a guitar following a New Japan Pro Wrestling show at the Tokyo Dome was filmed on October 13, 2003. For several weeks thereafter, TNA hinted at a future match between Hogan and Jarrett, possibly as the featured match for the planned event. It was also rumored that Kevin Nash and Scott Hall would be brought in for the event. However, Hogan declined to commit to a program with TNA, and the Bound For Glory plans were scrubbed.

The Bound For Glory event is the focal point of an entire fan weekend. In 2005, fans could pay $60 in advance or $70 at the door to get into an event called Total Nonstop InterAction, where they could get autographs with and talk to most of the TNA superstars. People who went to Total Nonstop InterAction got first priority for seating to the Bound For Glory event. It is unknown if this will also be done for 2006, as there are rumors that the 2006 event may be taken on the road.
