Bound for Glory (frequently abbreviated to BFG) is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced every October by the American Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion. The event was created in 2005 to be their premier event of the year, similar to the company's main rival International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) and its WrestleMania event. As of September 2024, eleven events have occurred under the chronology.

From its inception in 2005 until 2013, all events were held in the United States. The 2014 event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan in conjunction with the Wrestle-1 promotion. It has been held in seven different U.S. states, where every event has been held in an indoor arena. Each event featured wrestlers from TNA competing in various professional wrestling match types. 2014 marked the first time since the inaugural event that the World Heavyweight Championship was not defended in the main event. To date, ten championship matches have taken place in the main event.

[edit] History

Bound for Glory was the twelfth of the thirteen event titles TNA has produced under. Each event consist of a main event and an undercard that feature championship matches and other various matches. The first event was held in October 2005. There have been a total of five events under the chronology to take place as of September 2024. The 2006 edition was the first TNA three hour monthly PPV event to take place outside of the TNA Impact! Zone at the Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth Township, Michigan. The TNA Impact! Zone is a sound stage owned by Universal Studios and operated within Universal Studios Florida; it is the home to TNA's primary television program TNA Impact!, from which the soundstage gets its name, and is where TNA holds most of it events. In 2007, TNA held Bound for Glory again outside of the Impact! Zone, this time in Duluth, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, at the Gwinnett Center on October 14, 2007. This trait continued into 2008 at Bound for Glory IV, which took place at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois] on October 12. Bound for Glory IV was also the first event under the chronology to have roman numerals featured in its title.
