TNA Bound for Glory
TNA Wrestling pay-per-view event series
Bound for Glory is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced annually in October by the American Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion. It is one of TNA's “Big Four” PPV events (along with Hard To Kill, Rebellion, and Slammiversary). The event was created in 2005 to serve as the company's flagship PPV event, similar to WWE's WrestleMania, in which wrestlers competed in various professional wrestling match types in what was the culmination of many feuds and storylines that occurred during the calendar year. As of September 2026, twenty-one events have occurred under the chronology, with the latest being the 2025 event taking place on October 12.
History
The 2006 edition was the company's first three-hour monthly PPV event to take place outside of the Impact Zone (the sound stage owned by Universal Studios, and operated within Universal Studios Florida, from which the company's television series and much of their pay-per-views were produced), emanating from the Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth Township, Michigan. The event would return to the Impact Zone for the 2016 edition. Bound for Glory IV, which took place at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, on October 12, 2008, was the only event under the chronology to have Roman numerals featured in its title.
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. The 2017 event was held at Aberdeen Pavilion in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Why this record matters
The phrase “tNA Wrestling pay-per-view event series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1150485. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2026, 2025 and 2006.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
