Pope says getting a draw and one point is like getting zero points.
Group Knockouts: Madison Rayne vs. Awesome Kong
Rating: D. Total squash here with Kong looking dominant like she should have. Madison is still good in the ring but it takes a different kind of opponent to give Kong a threat. They were smart to keep this short here and it made Kong look like a real threat, assuming she can stay healthy.

I’ll be covering Takeover at first so I don’t get to see how bad things are really going to get, but I can’t wait to see how far down things really go. This is TNA’s biggest show of the year and it amazed me how they managed to screw it up all over again. Let’s get to it.
In your second pointless moment of the night, Ethan Carter III came out to talk about how awesome he is. This was just a basic promo that accomplished nothing other than killing off a few minutes.
Speaking of killing stuff off, the second match of the night killed off the crowd. It was a 12 man gauntlet match with the winner getting a shot at any title he wanted in the future. Of course this was changed with about two minutes left in the match to being able to challenge for ANY title, because only TNA would think all of its titles are worth anything.

Yes seriously.
The story goes that Ethan Carter III got an injunction saying that Matt didn’t win the title fairly and would be barred from appearing on Impact for a month. Therefore the fans aren’t going to be treated fairly and Matt isn’t cool with that, so he’s vacated the title so he can appear on the show.
I know TNA has a history of making Bound For Glory mean nothing but now they’re not even making it to their next TV show. This is the show people want around so much???

For Glory 2015
Date: October 4, 2015
Location: Cabarrus Arena and Events Center, Concord, North Carolina
Commentators: D’Angelo Dinero, Josh Matthews
X-Division Title: Tigre Uno vs. Manik vs. DJZ vs. Andrew Everett
Everett crushes the champ with a 630 for the big spot of the match. Not to be outdone, Tigre kicks DJZ to the floor and busts out a 450 from the top to the floor. Everett climbs on top of the ropes and walks across using the structure for balance but Tigre crawls over to kick him in the ribs for a big crash, allowing Tigre to retain at 9:42.
The three people in the main event arrived earlier.
Bound For Gold Gauntlet Match
Tag Team Titles: Wolves vs. Brian Meyers/Trevor Lee
King of the Mountain Title: Bobby Roode vs. Bobby Lashley
Roode comes back with a Blockbuster for two before they trade spinebusters. A running elbow knocks Roode off the apron and he crashes shoulder first into the barricade. Back in and the shoulder acts up, allowing Lashley to score with a powerslam. The spear gets two and a quick Roode Bomb gets the same as we do the completely traditional trading of finishers.
Knockouts Title: Awesome Kong vs. Gail Kim
Jeff Hardy tells the creatures to mount up because nothing can save EC3.
Eric Young vs. Kurt Angle
This is a result of Young hurting Angle and Kurt coming back from injury to fight the crazy Eric. With no build, this is announced as a No DQ match. Young says he has no issue with crippling Kurt and taking away his livelihood but Kurt says this has been made No DQ, which the announcers already said. They head to the floor almost immediately with Angle in control, only to take it back in for a big belly to belly for two.
Young comes back with a piledriver and Angle rolls to the floor holding his head and neck. The match basically stops as medics come out to look at Angle. Kurt starts walking to the back but Young breaks it up and attacks the medics. Young throws Kurt back inside and hits him in the head with a chair. They head outside again and Angle grabs a German suplex to block a piledriver on the exposed concrete.
The announcers preview the main event a bit.
Video on the main event and of course the audio messes up. These jokes write themselves.

TNA has done about as good of a job of setting this thing up in four hours and I’m actually wanting to see what they’ve got. Above all else, this show is already better than last year’s disaster and has the potential to be entertaining. Let’s get to it.

Sgt. Chris Melendez vs. Eric Young
Lumberjack match. Young throws him to the floor to start but the lumberjacks let him back inside. Back in and the fans chant USA as Young is still in full control with a chinlock. Young keeps destroying him with some knees in the corner as Josh hypes up Kurt Angle returning at Bound For Glory. A horrible Samoan drop puts Young down but he pokes Chris in the eye. The prosthetic leg to the face looks to set up the piledriver but instead puts Chris on top for a superplex. Chris shoves him off and hits a missile dropkick for the pin at 5:25.
The Dollhouse talks about hurting Gail Kim tonight. Jade is thrilled to get the chance. Rebel and Belle are told to go prove their worth to Taryn.
Ethan Carter III tells Jeff Hardy to do what he says tonight or get fired.
Lashley is done with defending TNA and is ready to go to Bound For Glory.
The announcers talk about the elimination match tonight. Josh looks like a tool with his flannel shirt and sleeve tattoo.
Knockouts Title: Gail Kim vs. Jade
X-Division Title: Tigre Uno vs. Kenny King
TNA World Title: Ethan Carter III vs. Rockstar Spud
Ethan is going to fire Jeff later.
Bram vs. Eddie Edwards vs. Davey Richards vs. Drew Galloway vs. Lashley
We get a preview for next week to end the show.
Overall Rating: D. This company feels like an indy promotion. You establish some characters and have a main title picture, but the rest of the show is spent having random feuds and matches with no real story to them. Wrestlers come and go, no one really gets over, the feuds mean nothing, and then they move on to their next program. The wrestling was just there as usual, meaning it was nothing all that interesting but it was passable for the most part.
Results
Sgt. Chris Melendez b. Eric Young – Missile dropkick
Gail Kim b. Jade – Eat Defeat
Tigre Uno b. Kenny King – Springboard splash
Ethan Carter III b. Rockstar Spud – 1%er
Drew Galloway b. Bram, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards and Lashley – Big boot to Lashley
