OCC PPV Coverage: TNA Bound for Glory 2006
Remember to refresh the page for the latest updates.
We're hear for Live BFG coverage.
The preshow didn't start off good as there were audio problems, it was either too loud or too quiet and you couldn't understand the announcers at all.
Borash is with Samoa Joe who is looking for Kurt Angle. Borash asked for a word, Joe blew him off.
LAX and Styles/Daniels video airs, same one from last night.
Now West and tenay are at ringside running down the card.
Bobby Roode is out and he is now residing on Wallstreet. Yeah, that changes his character so much.
Roode is taking a good long time to tell us what we already know. How can the hottest free agent turn down such legendary managers? I don't know, and don't care. He has decided to be called Robert Roode now, is that Rick Roode's son? Ok, if he calls himself Robert Roode again I'll uh, bitch about it. He explains why Robert Roode doesn't need any of those legends one by one.
Hey, I'm not sure but I think he's now Robert Roode. Its hard to tell because he hasn't mentioned it enough yet. Holy crap this promo is taking forever.
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.
Sweet Jesus, just get to the fucking point!!! He says that he and his new CEO will make a lot of money, well TNA sure won't be. Ms. Brooks and Tenay calls it quite a reaction, I call it quite the silent reaction. Here comes Lance Hoyt.
Tenay and West still are calling him Bobby, they must not have gotten the freakin point of him saying his new name 600 times.
Tenay and West talk about the difference between wrestling singles and tag matches because of Hoyt's recent teaming with Ron Killings. Yeah, there's a big difference between those 2 things when you've had a whopping 2 tag matches.
Well, the crowd is definitely hot or at least it sounds like they have more than in the iMPACT zone. You know, I think Hoyt is getting too much offense but that could just be me.
Hoyt goes up for a moonsault, distracted by Ms. Brooks misses a moonsault, a Northern Lariat and a payoff later, and Roode is victorious.
Winner: Robert Roode
Cornette tells Samoa Joe to play ball and give up waiting for Angle.
Back to the ring, Traci slaps Hoyt, and Killings saves him from a beatdown. Now Killings asks Detroit what's up, and they respond by asking him what's up. I guess nobody knows what's up.
Christy Hemme is backstage talking about Rhino/Christian. She's interupted by a little person who is here for the X-division open gauntlet battle thingy.
Rhino video package airs, actually its yet another package from last night.
Stupidity on this show, Tenay says you need to order this show because you don't want to miss it. Trouble is, I can't see the preshows without actually ordering the PPV and I know I'm not the only one.
Another stupid thing in the video package, Rhino says this match is for the factory worker that lost his job while Christian was sitting on his high horse. How is Christian supposed to keep factories open?
They run the card down again and now we get to the Main Event video package, which you also saw last night if you saw Road to Glory. I expect to see all these packages again before the respective matches tonight, I should have them memorized by the end of the evening.
West is at ringside talking about 6 sides of steel when we cut to Joe and Angle yelling at each other backstage, and Angle basically saying "If you want me, I'll be at the ring." Well, if people could see this for free it may have caused some of them to order the show, but I don't know how many people can see this without ordering the show first.
Fozzy video plays, I'm sure you know it by now.
PPV time~!
This is TNA the biggest hype job in the face of something that uh, I lost my train of whatever those are called.
We start with Darth Vader going back a hundred years to something that happened in Detroit. The video calls Sabin and Senshi arial daredevils. Somehow when I think of Senshi I think of him kicking people in the face, I wonder who's responsible for that Euan? Ok, he video package is pretty cool as they always seem to be.
Mortal Kombat Armageddon presents Bound For Glory.
Biggest PPV ever talk. Pyro goes off, lets hope there is no fire. Damn that's some loud pyro.
Nash comes out first to cheers. Even the announcers are making fun of the name of this match.
Nash is doing commentary and he has a bowling trophy with him.
List of participants.
Well, if he had to debut in this match then he needed to win and he did so I retract my threats to curse the whole company more than it already is.
Nash is entering the ring with the trophy, Austin Starr has generic music, they couldn't find anything to fit with the character? Shelley isn't happy about Nash giving attention to Starr.
Recap of Thursday's impact. Tenay really does screetch like a girl some time.
Borash is backstage with Americas Most Wanted. They talk about what LAX did to Gail Kim. Yup, AMW is already face or so it would seem. They threaten bad things to LAX while saying no disrespect to the teams in their match.
Shane Douglas is out with the mic. He asks if Detroit is ready to get their asses franchised. Well, I for 1 would never be ready for that, unless it were maybe Gail asking me. I mean he's the only person in wrestling that could ask me that question and get a "yes".
Douglas introduces the Naturals. The James Gang come out second. Now its B.G.'s turn to kick it old school. B.G. going for the cheap pop with the Tigers reference. Americas Most Wanted is out next. Team 3D is last but not least.
You know it would seem you've got 4 babyface teams fighting in this match, lets see if the match plays out that way.
Team 3D says Detroit wanted the best and get it in the person of 3D. To that Kip James responds: "Suck it". Well, uh yeah it sounds familiar from somewhere.
Team 3D seems to be the early crowd favorite.
Yup, Tenay just said that this match would play into the tag team rankings, so much for the Naturals earning a title shot last month. Of course we get the now TNA standard tower of doom spot that draws a TNA chant from the crowd. We just got our second "suck it" of the match, nice way to make people forget about DX.
Crowd wants tables, and Team 3D just paid tribute to L.O.D. with the Doomsday Device on one of the Naturals (Chase Stevens) and the Wazzzup on Andy Douglas.
Miscommunication between the Naturals leads to Douglas getting the 3D and pinned.
Winners: Team 3D
Now Shane Douglas is mad and slapping Chase Stevens.
We cut backstage to Samoa Joe's locker room where Jeremy Borash is standing by.
Borash now with Jake Roberts, who is in the house for those that bet he wouldn't be. I have no idea what the hell Roberts is saying, holy crap this is incoherent beyond all measure.
Monsters Ball video package. Monsters Ball is the signature match of No Rules Warfare. Ok, if you say so.
Tenay claims that Roberts said to expect the unexpected, I don't think Tenay has any idea what Roberts really said.
Abyss out first, as Wade ponders whether Jake could take a bump. I'm just not sure. I do think he may just fall over for no good reason at all at some point in this match.
Brother Runt is second out.
Raven is third. Raven has a Hanible Lechter helmet from Silence of the Lambs on.
Samoa Joe is last out, I would've expected a bigger reaction. Its not bad but I thought he'd get a bigger pop.
Well, at least they're talking about the idea of Joe disrespecting the match by paying more attention to the title than the match. Crowd chanting Joe's gonna kill you.
Tenay talking about Roberts: "I don't think he's even going to try and control what they do in there." Well, it is a no rules match dumbass, what's he going to do? DQ somebody?
Ok, in a no rules match where falls count anywhere I'd assume, you can still break a pin with a foot on the rope.
Runt tossed in the crowd to body surf. Abyss sent outside by Raven and Joe flies of all 3 and he lands on his own feet.
Raven hits Joe with his helmet and Joe goes off the ramp through a table. Abyss and Runt are climbing up something and if you don't know what happened next then you haven't been watching enough wrestling. Funeral services for Runt will be held soon. Raven breaks up a pinfall.
Scott showed up so its now he Wade and I.
Roberts has 1 slow 3 count. I suspect he's just trying to remember the correct order of numbers.
Other than brief spirts this match has spent a pretty impressive amount of time in the ring.
Joe just gave Abyss a Lucha Foul!!! Raven just broke up Joe's pin after a snap slam on Abyss.
Thumbtacks are now out. Abyss takes out Raven and Roberts as raven was set to DDT Jake. Wade calls it half a bump.
Runt has not been seen in quite some time. Abyss went face first into the tacks Via Joe. Jake Roberts lays out Raven with a DDT.
Musclebuster on Raven by Joe.
Winner: Samoa Joe
Borash interviews Eric Young and Larry Z threatens to send Young to Larry Land!
Please let this be short.
Crowd chants don't fire Eric. Don't worry, they won't.
The crowd does the boo-yay for the exchange of punches. I'm distracted by the ordering of food.
Young hits Larry with a foreign object and gets the pin.
Winner: Eric Young - well now they have a build in reason when Larry returns.
Senshi Video package airs.
Jim Cornette is headed to the ring, I was just going to ask how they were going to kill some time.
Cornette is having trouble talking, which is just going to make this fun to listen to. He says I've seen a great show, I could've sworn I've watched this show. Its not bad but we're not calling it great.
Angle and Joe have problems but this isn't the time or the place to settle it. If Joe interferes in the title match, he will be removed from the Roster immediately.
Here comes Kurt Angle for his own words. Hopefully, he's not sick as well. Angle calls this the best crowd in wrestling...he's been in front of this crowd for 30 seconds.
Samoa Joe didn't like Angle's line of commentary so he comes out to the ring, we've got another brawl on our hands. Joe wants to fight and they break the security barrier and fight some more to a huge pop.
X-division video package airs.
Samoa Joe has been ejected from the building. I'm sure he'll be back now.
Wade: Samoa Joe will either show up again or he won't. Way to go out on a limb there Wade!!!
I was getting plates and such ready for when the pizza gets here. Don't worry, I'll catch you up on all the major developments and important information I didn't write while I was doing that.
There, you're caught up.
This match is kind of like their last match in that its starting off slowly, can it build? I guess we'll see, but I definitely like the fact that they didn't just go to the flippy-dos early on. Stiff kicks and chops being laid in by both sides.
Duane has been here for awhile, talk turns to how well Sean Mooney and Alfred Hayze would call this match. I'm guessing not very.
Senshi does a cartwheel and is dropkicked by Sabin.
The pace is picking up. Sabin hits the cradle shock for a very very nearfall.
West: There is no way he got out of that. Well, he must've cause the match is continuing.
Senshi hits the Warrior's way but Sabin kicked out in another very closer nearfall.
Chris Sabin rolls Senshi up and gets the pin.
The Pizza is here.
Winner: Chris Sabin
Borash is backstage with Christian Cage. He draws real heat by comparing himself to the St. Louis Cardinals. This might not be the best time to tell Christian that the Cardinals were trailing in game 2 at last I heard.
I guess I know what the difference is between this and Monsters Ball, and that is that this match has started outside. Would've been nice if they had mentioned this on iMPACT at any point. Some weapons shots to start and they end up on a Zamboni and Rhino drives it into the arena.
Discussion turns to the Black Scorpion angle and it is decided that back then WCW was cheesy. You think?
Rhino goes for the gore gore gore but gets a chair to the head for his trouble. The match is actually in the ring now. They take the fight to where the hockey glass is but nobody goes through it.
Tenay says Christian spitting on a street sign is an insult to everyone in the building, everyone in the city and everyone watching on PPV. Wow, that's quite the symbolic statement. Christian hooks Rhino in a straight jacket. After trying to beat him with a chair, Rhino uses his head to take Christian down and the ref frees him from the straight jacket. Nice ref to do that for him.
Rhino has Christian on the apron and piledrives him through a table. That gets a couple of replays and a "that was awesome" chant. Of course, we haven't heard that as much as we do in Orlando. Christian hits Rhino with about 8 chairshots and gets the pin.
Winner: Christian Cage
Borash with LAX: They say mean things about AJ and Daniels as well as AMW.
The cage is being constructed.
West and Tenay talking about TNA's connection to the world series.
LAX doesn't get the spanish intro, from Urbina or anyone else unfortunately.
West says that Styles/Daniels have 19 titles in TNA between them. Too bad that's meaningless.
I'll write less and watch more.
A lot of fun stuff in this match. I'll write more about it in my aftermath column but short story it was the best match of the night.
Homicide with the Gringo Killa on Styles for the pin.
Winner: LAX
Now, LAX is doing an extended beatdown on the former champs. I'm waiting for AMW to hit the ring.
No AMW run-in LAX just decided to celebrate.
The same video package from earlier airs again for the main event.
We get a tale of the tape ala UFC for this match and I'm totally fine with that.
Champion Jarrett is out first. We didn't get words from either man before the main event.
Sting is out and his new look is that of Pre-nWo Sting or pre-crow Sting.
Tenay: Sting's got the ball bat, maybe that's his tribute to the Tigers? Perhpas, he always has one.
Earl Hebnr isn't the ref, he reffed the LAX match.
We get the ring intros after the combatants enter which I am also a fan of.
I can't wait to see a live report of this to see if this was louder in the building than it has come across on television.
Tenay: This could be the last time we see Sting competing in a wrestling ring. I bet its not.
Jarrett out wrestles Sting early. They tell the story that Sting may be questioning his ability. Sting makes a comeback and we have an interaction between Jarrett and Angle but its not physical.
Some brawling outside the ring now, and I must admit that I was wrong about one thing in the preview, ok more than one but specifically I was wrong, Jarrett is still playing the ultra-cocky heel he has always been.
Angle has stopped Sting and Jarrett from using the chair at different points. Jarrett goes to hit Sting but gets Angle instead. The announcers are spending way too much time on whether it was an accident or not.
We've got the double countout spot going with both men down and we're up to 9. Kurt Angle just stopped the count with a move still dubbed the Olympic Slam. Angle is now acting ref.
Deathdrop on Jarrett but he is out before the 3. Jarrett hits the stroke but Sting got the shoulder up.
West is giving Angle credit, I guess for knowing how to count.
Tombstone on Jarrett scores another nearfall for Sting. Jarrett with a low-blow and then teases the middle-rope stroke but Sting fights out.
Jarrett going for the figure 4, which Tenay calls his pattented move. Yeah, he always wins with this move. Sting reverses and Jarrett kicks loose.
Jarrett hooks on an Ankle lock right in front of Angle. Sting rolls through and Jarrett goes to the floor. Sting selling the leg.
Sting went for the ballbat, Angle had none of it, Jarrett hit Sting with the guitar which Sting no-sold to a huge pop, Scorpion deathlock and Jarrett tapped out.
Hopefully, that's the end of the guitar in Jarrett matches but that might be a lot to hope for.
Winner: Sting
Now they're hinting at the Jarrett face-turn which is to come.
Sting celebrates as the show goes off the air, no Joe/Angle confrontation since earlier in the night, which is good because it didn't detract from the main event.
I'll have my show thoughts up later.
We're hear for Live BFG coverage.
The preshow didn't start off good as there were audio problems, it was either too loud or too quiet and you couldn't understand the announcers at all.
Borash is with Samoa Joe who is looking for Kurt Angle. Borash asked for a word, Joe blew him off.
LAX and Styles/Daniels video airs, same one from last night.
Now West and tenay are at ringside running down the card.
Bobby Roode is out and he is now residing on Wallstreet. Yeah, that changes his character so much.
Roode is taking a good long time to tell us what we already know. How can the hottest free agent turn down such legendary managers? I don't know, and don't care. He has decided to be called Robert Roode now, is that Rick Roode's son? Ok, if he calls himself Robert Roode again I'll uh, bitch about it.

Hey, I'm not sure but I think he's now Robert Roode. Its hard to tell because he hasn't mentioned it enough yet. Holy crap this promo is taking forever.

Sweet Jesus, just get to the fucking point!!! He says that he and his new CEO will make a lot of money, well TNA sure won't be. Ms. Brooks and Tenay calls it quite a reaction, I call it quite the silent reaction. Here comes Lance Hoyt.
- Robert Roode Vs. Lance Hoyt
Tenay and West still are calling him Bobby, they must not have gotten the freakin point of him saying his new name 600 times.
Tenay and West talk about the difference between wrestling singles and tag matches because of Hoyt's recent teaming with Ron Killings. Yeah, there's a big difference between those 2 things when you've had a whopping 2 tag matches.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon presents Bound For Glory.
Biggest PPV ever talk. Pyro goes off, lets hope there is no fire. Damn that's some loud pyro.
- Kevin Nash open invitational X-division Battle Royal for Bound for Glory.
Nash comes out first to cheers. Even the announcers are making fun of the name of this match.
Nash is doing commentary and he has a bowling trophy with him.
List of participants.
- Austin Starr (he'd better win this thing then)
He hails from TV Land, har har. - Sonjay Dutt.
We start with 2 and then add a new competitor every minute and its over the top until the last 2 when its pinfall or submission. Well, at least this way it allows guys to be featured a little better than if it wer under typical battle royal rules with everyone involved at once. I will hold off cursing this company for Starr's involvement in the match due to that fact.
After a quick minute: - Maverick Matt Bentley is in.
These minutes move quickly. - Jay Lethal
Nash is pretty funny on commentary, saying that if you want to see him come off the top rope, all you need to do is check the "best of tape". - A-1, what the hell?
The announcers say, its not about Weight Limits, its about No Limits. The Navada State Athletic Commission would disagree and rightfully so.
Still nobody is eliminated, as the announcers talk about The build up for Austin Starr. - Zach Gowen
They talk about Gowen being the 1 legged man. Nash takes a shot at Johnny Ace saying "At least I got the right 1-legged wrestler."
No way these are minute intervals, if they are I need these minutes while I'm working. - Kazarian
Sonjay Dutt is first eliminated. - Sirelda?
Oh dear, this could be fun. Oh, I see she was affected by a low-blow so apparently, she's a man!!! Bwahahahahaha, lol.
Sirelda out followed by A-1. - Shark Boy
Nash says that Shark Boy is the odds on favorite to win. Then he calls Alex Shelley the biggest star in TNA. Crowd is definitely into Shark Boy. - Alex Shelley
You know it occurs to me that we have no idea how many people are in this match.
Now the announcers are referencing the NSAC, they're clearly reading my work. - D-ray 3,000
Nash makes a reference to someone from the American Basketball Association who he thought D-ray 3,000 was.
Matt Bentley is out. - Johnny Devine
Zach Gowen is eliminated.
Crowd is clearly behind Alex Shelley at this point. - Elix Skipper
West references the Skipper cage walk.
Nash says his knees are bad due to coming off the rop ropes. - Short Sleeve Sampson is next.
Shark Boy and D-ray are out.
Nash talking about Shark Boy's elimination: "I knew he wouldn't last." - Norman Smiley
We get the double wiggle from Smiley and Sampson.
Nash: "I think I watched that same thing in my hotel this morning.
Short Sleeve is out. - Petey Williams comes out to the Canadian Anthem to a big pop.
Elix Skipper is out. Smiley is also out.
Petey got a huge pop when he came out and he's teased the Destroyer and then he hit it on Lethal to another big pop.
Petey Williams eliminated by Alex Shelley.
Devine out by Austin Starr. Alex Shelley is out now as well.
Its down to Starr and Lethal, so the curse is retracted as Starr is probably the winner.
Its pinfall and submission time with these being the final 2. Dueling chants for Lethal and Starr.
Austin Starr hits the Brainbuster and wins the trophy.
Well, if he had to debut in this match then he needed to win and he did so I retract my threats to curse the whole company more than it already is.
Nash is entering the ring with the trophy, Austin Starr has generic music, they couldn't find anything to fit with the character? Shelley isn't happy about Nash giving attention to Starr.

Samoa Joe is last out, I would've expected a bigger reaction. Its not bad but I thought he'd get a bigger pop.

Tenay talking about Roberts: "I don't think he's even going to try and control what they do in there." Well, it is a no rules match dumbass, what's he going to do? DQ somebody?

Crowd chants don't fire Eric. Don't worry, they won't.
The crowd does the boo-yay for the exchange of punches. I'm distracted by the ordering of food.
Young hits Larry with a foreign object and gets the pin.
Winner: Eric Young - well now they have a build in reason when Larry returns.
Senshi Video package airs.
Jim Cornette is headed to the ring, I was just going to ask how they were going to kill some time.
Cornette is having trouble talking, which is just going to make this fun to listen to. He says I've seen a great show, I could've sworn I've watched this show. Its not bad but we're not calling it great.
Angle and Joe have problems but this isn't the time or the place to settle it. If Joe interferes in the title match, he will be removed from the Roster immediately.
Here comes Kurt Angle for his own words. Hopefully, he's not sick as well. Angle calls this the best crowd in wrestling...he's been in front of this crowd for 30 seconds.

- 8-mile Streetfight: Christian Cage Vs. Rhino
I guess I know what the difference is between this and Monsters Ball, and that is that this match has started outside. Would've been nice if they had mentioned this on iMPACT at any point. Some weapons shots to start and they end up on a Zamboni and Rhino drives it into the arena.

Rhino has Christian on the apron and piledrives him through a table. That gets a couple of replays and a "that was awesome" chant. Of course, we haven't heard that as much as we do in Orlando. Christian hits Rhino with about 8 chairshots and gets the pin.
Winner: Christian Cage
Borash with LAX: They say mean things about AJ and Daniels as well as AMW.
The cage is being constructed.
- AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels Vs. LAX
West and Tenay talking about TNA's connection to the world series.
LAX doesn't get the spanish intro, from Urbina or anyone else unfortunately.
West says that Styles/Daniels have 19 titles in TNA between them. Too bad that's meaningless.
I'll write less and watch more.
A lot of fun stuff in this match. I'll write more about it in my aftermath column but short story it was the best match of the night.
Homicide with the Gringo Killa on Styles for the pin.
Winner: LAX
Now, LAX is doing an extended beatdown on the former champs. I'm waiting for AMW to hit the ring.
No AMW run-in LAX just decided to celebrate.
The same video package from earlier airs again for the main event.
- Sting Vs. Jeff Jarrett - Kurt Angle special ringside enforcer.
We get a tale of the tape ala UFC for this match and I'm totally fine with that.
Champion Jarrett is out first. We didn't get words from either man before the main event.
Sting is out and his new look is that of Pre-nWo Sting or pre-crow Sting.
Tenay: Sting's got the ball bat, maybe that's his tribute to the Tigers? Perhpas, he always has one.
Earl Hebnr isn't the ref, he reffed the LAX match.
We get the ring intros after the combatants enter which I am also a fan of.
I can't wait to see a live report of this to see if this was louder in the building than it has come across on television.
Tenay: This could be the last time we see Sting competing in a wrestling ring. I bet its not.
Jarrett out wrestles Sting early. They tell the story that Sting may be questioning his ability. Sting makes a comeback and we have an interaction between Jarrett and Angle but its not physical.
Some brawling outside the ring now, and I must admit that I was wrong about one thing in the preview, ok more than one but specifically I was wrong, Jarrett is still playing the ultra-cocky heel he has always been.
Angle has stopped Sting and Jarrett from using the chair at different points. Jarrett goes to hit Sting but gets Angle instead. The announcers are spending way too much time on whether it was an accident or not.
We've got the double countout spot going with both men down and we're up to 9. Kurt Angle just stopped the count with a move still dubbed the Olympic Slam. Angle is now acting ref.
Deathdrop on Jarrett but he is out before the 3. Jarrett hits the stroke but Sting got the shoulder up.
West is giving Angle credit, I guess for knowing how to count.
Tombstone on Jarrett scores another nearfall for Sting. Jarrett with a low-blow and then teases the middle-rope stroke but Sting fights out.
Jarrett going for the figure 4, which Tenay calls his pattented move. Yeah, he always wins with this move. Sting reverses and Jarrett kicks loose.
Jarrett hooks on an Ankle lock right in front of Angle. Sting rolls through and Jarrett goes to the floor. Sting selling the leg.
Sting went for the ballbat, Angle had none of it, Jarrett hit Sting with the guitar which Sting no-sold to a huge pop, Scorpion deathlock and Jarrett tapped out.
Hopefully, that's the end of the guitar in Jarrett matches but that might be a lot to hope for.
Winner: Sting
Now they're hinting at the Jarrett face-turn which is to come.
Sting celebrates as the show goes off the air, no Joe/Angle confrontation since earlier in the night, which is good because it didn't detract from the main event.
I'll have my show thoughts up later.
