I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 70 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.)

TNA Bound for Glory 2005
Bound for Glory is TNA's flagship PPV, much like WrestleMania and Starrcade. This is the first Bound for Glory and one of TNA's best events obtainable. If you are trying to get yourself or someone else into TNA, you need to purchase Bound for Glory 2005. The event had its lacking points, but they were quickly over. The great points of the PPV eclipse the average points. This is TNA's first PPV under Spike TV, and TNA had to deliver.

-Pre-Show-
The Pre-Show was available to every one for free. It was a 30-minute hype for the upcoming PPV. However, this Pre-Show had a couple of good points along with the endless plugging.

Sonjay Dutt VS Austin Aries VS Alex Shelley VS Roderick Strong
This is one of my favorite X-Division matches of all-time. This was not your standard four-way match, only two men were allowed to be in the ring at once. The other participants had to be tagged into the match. All men deliver sick spots and mind blowing highflying action. Get ready for dives, spins, and crashes. This match even features a sick 4-man submission cluster. This match was the perfect way to kick off this Pre-Show.
RATING- 9/10

Raven comes out later in the Pre-Show and demands to replace Kevin Nash, who unexpectedly is in the hospital, in the main event. Zbyszko, the daily manager of TNA, confronts him in the ring. This is a fantastic altercation between these two. Rhino comes out and suggests that maybe a girl has gotten into Raven's head. While that storyline would end up going nowhere, it still that sets up the mystery of the main event for tonight.

-Pay-Per-View Portion-
The Pay-Per-View portion of this event was only for those who paid their hard-earned money for it. All the advertised matches take place in this portion of Bound for Glory.

Samoa Joe VS Jushin "Thunder" Liger
If you are a hardcore wrestling fan, you were looking forward to this being the best match on the card. This match is not the dream match every one expected it to be though. This match is a very solid match though. Joe and Liger go back and forth for the entire match. Liger takes a huge dive to the outside onto Joe. The match is short, but served its purpose to open the paid portion of this PPV.
RATING- 8/10

The Diamonds in the Rough VS Apolo/Sonny Siaki/Shark Boy
This match is one of the lacking parts I spoke of earlier. The Diamonds in the Rough have been on a loser streak since...well, since they were formed. This is their chance to get a win and get back on track. There is some solid tag-team action and a few good moments, but this did not deserve to be on Bound for Glory.
RATING- 6/10

Monty Brown VS Lance Hoyt
I never found this feud particularly interesting. You knew who was going to come out on top. This match is a solid encounter though. There is one moment where moment tells all the fans to move. He is suggesting he is going to toss Hoyt into the crowd. He then throws Hoyt back in the ring and calls the fans stupid for moving. The closing moments of this match features several near falls. I thought this deserved its spot on Bound for Glory.
RATING- 7.5/10

3 Live Kru VS Team Canada
Here is our final bad stop of the show. How many times have we seen these two teams face off already? They have faced off too many times in my opinion. The real story behind this match is whether Kip James (Billy Gunn) would help his friend BG James (Road Dogg). The match was an average affair that could have took place on iMPACT. The ending is obvious, despite them trying to make it look the other way.
RATING- 5/10

Ultimate X Match
#1 Contender for X-Division Championship
Matt Bentley VS Chris Sabin VS Petey Williams
These men have been in a combined eight Ultimate X matches. The overflowing experience of the Ultimate X did not create a best Ultimate X match though. There are a few good spots and some fun dives, but nothing you have not seen in other Ultimate X matches. With that said, this make is still a fun highflying assault. The ending to this match, while controversial, is unique and enjoyable.
RATING- 9/10

NWA World Tag Team Championship
America's Most Wanted(c) VS The Naturals
On the previous iMPACT, America's Most Wanted used a beer bottle to recapture the NWA Tag Team Championships for the sixth time. Now America's Most Wanted and Jeff Jarrett have all the power in TNA. The Naturals head into this match at full force and start a huge brawl. Most of this match takes place on the outside of the ring. James Storm takes a sick powerbomb into the guardrail. There are some near falls near the end of the match. This brawl turns into an excellent match.
RATING- 8/10

Monsters Ball 2
Sabu VS Abyss VS Rhino VS Jeff Hardy
Monster's Ball 1 was a slight disappointment. The match was a good hardcore match, but not as brutal as everyone had hoped. Monster's Ball 2 makes up for this in full. The participants have been locked in solitary confinement without food, water, or light the past twenty-four hours. The idea is that when they come out of confinement for this match, they will be irritable and vicious. The idea is a bit silly, but the match is brutal. There are so many spots packed into this match, I do not know how to begin. I will say this; Jeff Hardy takes his biggest lunge to date. The rest of the match is brutal and spot-filled.
RATING- 9.5/10

30 Minute Ironman Match (Match of the DVD)
TNA X-Division Championship
AJ Styles(C) VS Christopher Daniels
Not only is this the longest match on the card, but it is the best match on the card. This is my favorite match ever. After there first Ironman match at Against All Odds 2005, TNA decided their biggest show of the year deserved a godly match just like it. Therefore, this is Ironman 2. The psychology used to string together this Ironman Match is perfect. The control switches constantly. The first fifteen minutes are mostly wear-down moves with a few big moves. The rest of the match features power move after power move. The closing minutes are epic and will have you marking out like a little schoolgirl. If you do not love this Ironman masterpiece, you and me are going to have a talk.
RATING- 10/10

10 Man Gauntlet
# Contender for NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Considering this match was created on the spot, this turned into a great Gauntlet. The first two men starting were Samoa Joe and Ron "The Truth" Killings. They wrestled for two minutes before another competitor entered the match. After the third participant entered the ring, there would be one-minute intervals between the other entrants. The object was to throw the other wrestlers out of the ring. If you are the last man in the ring, you win. Joe has a couple good stand-offs during this Gauntlet. The winner, who faced Jarrett next, is a good choice.
RATING- 8/10

Special Referee- Tito Ortiz
NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Jeff Jarrett(c) VS Rhino
This main event reminds me a lot of Raven VS Funk from ECW Barely Legal. It is not a good match, but it is a great ending to the show. Rhino is dominated for a couple of minutes before getting the gore and winning it. I do not mind telling you that spoiler, because Jarrett would win the belt back two weeks later. Tito Ortiz has a very little purpose for being a part of this match. At the end of the day, this is still better than what Jarrett/Nash would have pulled off. The aftermath is fun, but expected.
RATING- 6/10

-Bonus-
The bonus section in TNA DVDs is usually a let down. Often times you will get replays of a few moves and maybe a small backstage segment. Bound for Glory 2005 is special though, and needed some fantastic extras though. They give you an Ultimate X match and a looking inside Fanfest.

Inside TNA InterAction Fanfest
Take a look inside TNA's fan show before Bound for Glory 2005. You get to hear comments from fans on how much they love TNA. You also hear a few comments from wrestlers like AJ Styles and BG James. I love the kid getting his steel chair signed by all the wrestlers.

Ultimate X Match (iMPACT, 10/05)
#1 Contender for X-Division Championship
Matt Bentley VS Chris Sabin VS Petey Williams
After the controversial ending of the Bound for Glory match, they put in place a rematch on iMPACT. This match is shorter, but still a great Ultimate X match. There are plenty of juicy spots in this one as well. This time, despite a close call, the ending is normal. There is a commercial break in the middle of the match, but it will not hurt your viewing too much.
RATING- 8.5/10

Now that I got this today & seen the DVD, I'll review it.

Before the PPV even starts, they show the entire pre-game show including the one match, the Raven-Larry Zbyszko-Rhino confrontation.

PreGame Show: Alex Shelley vs. Roderick Strong vs. Austin Aries vs. Sonjay Dutt - Great X division 4 way with alot of cool spots.


Jushin "Thunder" Liger vs. Samoa Joe - Joe had a cool entrance with the soman dancers. Another great bout, really showcases what the X division is all about.

The Diamonds in the Rough (Simond Diamond, Elix Skipper, and David Young) vs. Apolo, Sonny Siaki, and Sharkboy - A decent six man tag but nothing really special here.

Lance Hoyt vs. Monty Brown - You would normally think a "big man vs. big man" match would be real slow & at times boring but not here. This was just fast pased & high impact. Another great match.

Team Canada (A1, Eric Young, Bobby Roode) vs. 3 Live Kru - Nice six man tag but everyone was more focused on Kip James sitting on the rampway than the actual match.

Ultimate X Match : Petey Williams vs. Matt Bentley vs. Chris Sabin - I've only seen the two Ultimate X matches on the X Division DVD and this one was better than both of those. Unfortunally, the "X" at the top was malfunctioning in the last 2 minutes of the match & ruined the ending but the match was awesome before that. You could see that everyone (wrestlers & fans) was pissed off at the ending.

Tag Team Champions America's Most Wanted vs. The Naturals - This was just a brawl all over the place. Way better match than I expected.

Monster's Ball 2: Abyss vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Rhino vs. Sabu - This reminded me of one of those wild ECW brawls. There was weapons, one high impact move after another, and Jeff Hardy doing the highest swanton bomb I've ever seen before. Another awesome match.

Ironman Match: X-Division Champion Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles (rematch from Against All Odds) - Don't let the "Ironman" title fool you, it's basically then wrestling for 30 minutes before A.J. gets the only pinfall in the match 5 secs. before the time expires. Overall, nice match but it's not better than their Against All Odds match.

10 Man Gauntlet: Samoa Joe vs. Ron Killings vs. Sabu vs. Lance Hoyt vs. Abyss vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Monty Brown vs. Rhino vs. Kip James vs. AJ Styles - Royal Rumble style match and it was good for what it was since you know everyone else (except Kip) was exhausted from their previous matches & even showed it when they were walking out to the ring.

NWA Champion Jeff Jarrett vs. Rhino - This match was short & sweet but you could understand why since nobody prepared to wrestle twice (or in Rhino's case 3 times) in one night. Tons of interfearence from Jarrett's camp but Rhino pulls it out in the end. Team 3D comes out in the end.

Bonus:
Ultimate X Rematch (from Impact special): Petey Williams vs. Matt Bentley vs. Chris Sabin - They reenforced the "X" so it would break this time but this match is clipped (has a commerical break) and honestly, just wasn't as good as their one at the PPV but it was still a great match.

Also in the bonus section is video from the weekend fanfest with comments from wrestlers & fans through the event on how they feel about the direction of TNA & their past history in wrestling organizations.


Overall, after the disappointing releases of Final Resolution, Against All Odds, and Destination X...TNA hits the jackpot with this DVD. All matches from average to great & not one bad match worth skipping. One of the top 10 wrestling PPV's/events of the year IMO.

I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 70 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful.

Well personally Ive always been a fan of the WWE especially in the old days like when Bret Hart,and Shawn Michaels were on top of their game(95-97) and when the Austin/McMahon rivalry existed(97-99).And I never really watched T.N.A when It was first formed in 2002 by Jeff Jarett and his father not because I didnt like It,but because I really never took the time to watch it.Recently last year around February is when I first started watching T.N.A and I have to admit I was shocked.The Ultimate X match,Final Assault Match,and and six sides of steel match.What better could you ask for?I was really captivated,and amazed at what great wrestling that was being produced.In then on the other hand the WWE is great too and have great wrestlers like Batista,Triple H,The Undertaker,Randy Orton,Shawn Michaels and others.And plus after have being watching the WWE for about 10 years now,Ive always felt a certain loyalty to them.But for an while now the WWE is sort of been boring,and has had weak matches.And after watching the WWE for sometime now you sort of know what to expect.But in T.N.A in you dont?Its full,of surprises,and excitement that you really dont feel the same way with the WWE.And I mean really the storylines are starting to wear out now-Ex.Orton/Taker feud.Way too long and boring.It was about an full year to the feud stopped at Armageddon in the "Hell in the Cell" match just recently.But anyway I will always feel an certain loyalty to watching the WWE,but as for now Im sticking with T.N.A-The new face of professional wrestling.

P.S "Happy New Year".

I personally think TNA is as exactly as good as WWE,don`t get me wrong I actually like them both the same.Here is what TNA has better over WWE:

-Better wrestling
-Much better PPV`s(obviously)
-A good solid roster of talented wrestlers,although a small few are admittedly WWE drop-offs,but who cares most of the superstars on the TNA roster are fresh.
-More ACTION,less TALK!(although it can sometimes takeaway the fun,but they more than make up for it in the wrestling itself)

now here is where WWE is better than TNA at the moment:
-WWE has three weekly homeshows:RAW,SmackDown! and ECW,whereas TNA only has one which is iMPACT!
-Alot of charismatic wrestlers,such as Ken Kennedy,John Cena,The Rock,Stone Cold,Randy Orton etc. which add to the exitement.
-A great history which will never be forgotten in the sports-entertainment world.

TNA has an increasing fanbase,acording to one of TNA`s upper staff,Dixie Carter TNA has finally started to make great money thanks to its growing popularity.All TNA needs to do is keep their fans happy,keep trying to get more fans,get a 2-hour timeslot so they don`t rush the matches,and form another homeshow to sit next to iMPACT!
As for WWE all they need to do is keep fans happy,let Paul heyman be in 100% control of what happens on the new ECW brand apart from financial stuff like funding shows and paying wrestlers.Thats the only way ECW will be faithful to the original ECW.
Oh as for WWE marks/TNA marks-please keep your useless pathetic bashing away,because no one on amazon cares about your opinion,if you don`t like TNA keep it to yourself,if you don`t like WWE keep it to yourself.
Especially that "anoymous" guy who wrote a couple of reviews bashing TNA,and some guy wrote a backlash responce calling him such and such a thing,that will most likely happen to any basher.

anyways goodbye

This PPV is without a doubt in my top three favourite PPV's list with a stacked card from top to bottom.For weeks I looked forward to this PPV and it did not disappoint one bit.But enough chitter chatter let's get to the review which I will rate match by match out of ten.

1.Jushin "Thunder" Liger V.S Samoa Joe
this match was very good for the time that it was given but if it went twenty minutes it would be the classic I thought it would be.Anyway very good match. 8/10

2.Diamonds In The Rough V.S Apolo,Sonny Siaki,and Sharkboy
a decent six man tag match that was kinda slow for most of the match but really picked up at the end. 6.5/10

3.Lance Hoyt V.S Monty Brown
a suprisingly good match with Lance showing how much better he is getting match by match with some cool power moves from Monty and good high flying by Lance. 7.5/10

4.3 Live Kru V.S Team Canada(A1,Eric Young,and Bobby Roode)
better than the first six man with some good wrestling moves and some pretty funny moments as well. 7/10

Ultimate X match for the #1 contender to the X-Division title
5.Petey Williams V.S Matt Bentley V.S Chris Sabin
not as good as I thought it would be but still had some pretty good spots even though the one on the two hour special was better. 7.5/10

NWA World Tag Team Championship match
6.The Naturals V.S AMW(C)
an excellent tag team match between two of the best teams in TNA today with great showings by all involved. 8.5/10

Monster's Ball 2 match
7.Jeff Hardy V.S Abyss V.S Sabu V.S Rhino
an unbelieveable hardcore brawl with chairs,tables,kendo sticks,weight belts,and ladders with some unbelieveable spots in this jaw dropping encounter(watch for Jeff's dive it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen). 9.5/10

30 Minute IronMan match for the X-Division Championship
8.Christopher Daniels V.S A.J Styles(C)
amazing matchup that blended technical,high flying,and brawling wrestling with tons of near falls and cool spots with a nail biting finish to top off this classic. 10/10

#1 contender's Gauntlet match
9.? V.S ? V.S ? V.S ? V.S ? V.S ? V.S ? V.S ? V.S ? V.S ?
all of the participants are revealed only when they come out in this gauntlet where each man enters the match after a certain period of time with opponents being eliminated by going over the ropes and hitting the floor.A very good last minute match with some cool moves,good drama,and suprises. 8/10

Main Event:NWA World Heavyweight Championship match
10.? V.S Jeff Jarrett(C)
a very good match for the time it was given with an unexpected ending,some cool moves,and Tito Ortiz is the guest referee. 8/10

Overall a great show with it's fair share of classic matches and unforgettable moments.If you don't already own this I advise you to go pick it up as soon as possible.Long Live TNA!!!

WOW what an amazing event!

This was a big PPV for TNA and they put everything on this show and it was one of the best PPVs i have seen in a while.

International Showdown
Samoa Joe Vs. Jushin Thunder Liger - What a brilliant opener, Joe could be the future of TNA. This match was quick but very enjoyable. Liger manages to get in some high flying but is overpowered by Joe and beaten by the muscle buster to keep the winning streak alive. 8.5/10

6 Man Tag
Diamonds In The Rough Vs. Apolo, Shark Boy & Sonny Siaka - I didnt really like this match though it had some good moves. i Think that Skipper should be in singles action and Siaka and Apolo dont really interest me. Decent tag match. 7/10

Monty Brown Vs. Lance Hoyt - A battle of the big men, this was another good match better than i could have expected. Hoyt uses some flying moves and this is a good battle with Brown winning with the POUNCE. 8/10

Team Canada Vs. 3LK - Different type of tag match and good battle with Kip James as referee. 7/10

Ultimate X (Winner gets X Title shot)
Petey Williams Vs. Matt Bentley Vs. Chris Sabin - This match was dissapointing it had so much potential but the malfuncture really ruined this match for me along with the bad finish which was spare of the moment. All 3 try hard but better watch Destination X or Final Resolution for better Ultimate X matches. 7.5/10 (For effort of 3 guys)

NWA Tag team Titles
AMW (c) With Gail Kim Vs. The Naturals - I love both AMW and The Naturals and they have had some classic tag matches before. AMW had just won the tag titles and this was the rematch, brilliant tag action and a decent ending with AMW retaining. 9/10

Monsters Ball 2
Jeff Hardy Vs. Rhino Vs. Sabu Vs. Abyss - WOW!!!!! Match of the night and year what a showstealer. I wanted Abyss to win (favourite wrestler in TNA) but it was not meant to be. Great action as weapons and tables are used throughout (never saw tacks which let it down abit ). Really exciting match which crowd was really into, look out for: Sabu and Rhino table spot - Swanton from balcony!! and Rhino driver from top rope.BRILLIANT!!!!! 10/10

30 Min Iron Man Match (X Title)
AJ Styles (c) Vs. Fallen Angel - Another brilliant match only beaten by Monsters Ball. Very technical affair including some great high flying spots and action right up to finish. Look out for AJ hurting leg on steps OUCH. 10/10

Battle Royale (NWA Title Shot)
Ron 'Truth' Killings Vs. Sabu Vs. Lance Hoyt Vs. AJ Styles VS. Jeff Hardy Vs. Kip James Vs. Abyss Vs. Monty Brown Vs. Samoa Joe Vs. Rhino - Decent enough considering it was improntu because of Nash not being cleared, a good battle royale considering alot of wrestlers had been in matches. 7/10

NWA Title
Jeff Jarrett (c) Vs. Rhino - Short but understandle because of Rhinos battle in Monsters Ball. Some good moves and brilliant ending as Jarrett is dethroned. Great bit with Team 3D, AMW and Team Canada at end. 9/10

Most of TNA's PPVs are letdowns...They usually have one or two matches that are really worth while (and those matches usually end up on one of TNA's Best of DVDs) and the rest kind of drag...but Bound for Glory was freaking awsome. It is one of the rare TNA PPVs that I am willing to buy whole.

X Division Four Way:
Sonjay Dutt vs. Austin Aries vs. Alex Shelley vs. Roderick Strong
This was a pre-show event but it so deserved to be on the PPV.

Samoa Joe vs. Jushin Liger
Great enterance but it was one of the worst matches on the card

The Diamonds In The Rough vs. Apolo, Sonny Siaki, and Shark Boy
Would have been better without Shark Boy

Monty Brown vs. Lance Hoyt
A pretty good Monty Brown match

3 Live Kru vs. Team Canada
Great tag action

Ultimate X Match for #1 Contender Slot
Matt Bentley vs. Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams
A great X-Division match. The X fell twice during the match but I don't think that really took anything away from how good it was.

NWA World Tag Team Title Match
America's Most Wanted vs. The Naturals
Another great tag match

Monsters brawl match
Sabu vs. Abyss vs. Rhino vs. Jeff Hardy
The best match on the card! Rhyno and Jeff Hardy really gave it their all in this match.

30 Minute Ironman Match For X-Division Championship
AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels
It was a let down...very slow...very long...very boring...looked way too much like a planned finish.

10 Man Gauntlet For Gold
Another great match! Again Rhyno did a great job carrying this match.

NWA Title Match With Special Ref. Tito Ortiz
Jeff Jarrett vs. Rhyno
It was short but sweet! Rhyno seriously is the reason this PPV was great.
