TNA Wrestling: Bound For Glory 2009 [DVD]

TNA X Division Champion Amazing Red Vs. Daniels Vs. Suicide Vs. Chris Sabin Vs. Alex Shelley Vs. Homicide (Ultimate X Match) - Just two side notes here, the steel structure used for "Elevation X" was used here for extra support in stretching out the ropes and secondly, "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero had to be replaced by the Motor City Machine Guns at the last minute due to a family emergency. Just like previous Ultimate X bouts, this match had its usual crazy, wild, and crash and burn spots that will just amaze you. The Gunz were extrodinary out there, doing eveything in sync, Kaz...oops I mean Suicide bringing back the Flux Capacitor with Daniels taking falls you just wouldn't believe and questioning to yourself, how on earth is he still alive?! But in any case, this was a great start to TNA's biggest stage of the year with Red able to retain his championship in the end. 4.5/5TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Taylor Wilde & Sarita Vs. The Beautiful People - A short contest but not particularly a bad bout among the Knockouts. With the exception of a botched DDT, this was an okay tag team match for the Knockout Tag Team Titles and deserving of a watch. 2.75/5TNA Legends Champion Kevin Nash Vs. Eric Young Vs. Hernandez - If you have been following TNA up to this point, you could predict what was going to happen in the end of this match. The match played out how it was planned to the fullest with Eric Young paying and teaming up with Kevin Nash to protect himself from Hernandez and allowing Nash to take out Hernandez for once and for all and retaining his Legends championship in the end. However, after being dominated and overpowered all throughout the match and letting Nash do his dirty work, Eric Young outsmarted everyone as he walked out the new Legends champion. 3/5TNA Tag Team Champions Booker T & Scott Steiner Vs. IWGP Tag Team Champions The British Invasion Vs. Team 3D Vs. Beer Money (Full Metal Mayhem) - Both titles were on the line here and for those of you who aren't familiar with Full Metal Mayhem, this match is TNA's version of a "Tables, Ladders, & Chairs" match. The steel structure that was previously used for Ultimate X was brought back for this match to suspend the titles above the ring. And just like Ultimate X, this match too was a wild and crazy affair full of reckless spots involving Beer Money working as a very cohesive duo and taking out Booker T in the process, Scott Steiner going it alone and being dominate and even bringing out the Frankinsteiner, and also the return of Rhino. In the end, it was Team 3D capturing the IWGP Tag Team titles and with help from Rob Terry, the British Invasion became the new TNA Tag Team champions. 4/5TNA Knockouts Champion O.D.B. Vs. Tara Vs. Awesome Kong - The Knockouts again prevailed in having a pretty good match here. But this match was more about pushing storylines in such with Tara having a brawl with a mystery woman and leaving the match for a brief while and the mistake by Raisha Saaed in costing Awesome Kong the match which allowed O.D.B. to remain Knockouts champion. Overall, this is fairly an enjoyable and good 3 Way match for the Knockouts Title. 3.25/5Samoa Joe Vs. Bobby Lashley (Submission Match) - This match was advertised being "TNA Vs. MMA" with Bobby Lashley representing MMA and of course Samoa Joe representing TNA. Lashley came to the ring with his ribs heavily taped and Joe went right for Lashley from the start. After the wild brawl, this match stayed pretty much MMA-style with both guys concentrating on using submissions and relying on their ground game. The only negative aspect of the match is the quick and sudden end that came off very weak but other than that, this match succeeded. 3.5/5Mick Foley Vs. Abyss (Monster's Ball Match w/Dr. Stevie as the referee) - This match has to be a hardcore dream for anyone but inretrospect, I was a little disappointed with this match. Where this match could've been the best hardcore match of the century, this match just came off being average to me. And to make things worse, the added on stipulation was that if Abyss uses thumbtacks, he would be disqualified. The match started out with Foley attacking Abyss on the stage with Foley putting Abyss through the stage right out of the gate. From there, Abyss and Foley laid it all on the line bringing out various weapons such as the barbed wire bat, boards with barbed wire on them, and eventually thumbtacks. The only negatives I have to really point out are the "stun-gun" incident and the heavily botched 3 count which has been edited out on the DVD but what occurred with Daffeny afterwards heavily makes up for those two incidents. But overall, this was a hardcore dream match for everyone and these two gave their all and in any case, this match prevailed. 3.75/5Kurt Angle Vs. Matt Morgan - While this match was built up being "Wrestling's Best Vs. Wrestling's Future" and maybe was the match to put Morgan into that main event spotlight, the crowd was heavily for Kurt Angle. In the early stages of the match, Angle was heavily dominated and overpowered by Morgan until Angle was able to fight back and begin to take control of the match and really crafted his ground work onto Morgan. From there, these two went back and forth with many near falls, Morgan able to power out of the anklelock at one point, and Angle scoring with a frog splash. In the end, it was Angle rolling up Morgan for his first Bound For Glory win. This was a very good match and it was a good match in elevating Matt Morgan's game in showing he can hang in there with the best of them. 4/5TNA Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles Vs. Sting - This match had sportsmenship written all over it and it showed in the match. This match was also built up to being Sting's "Final Curtian Call" and it showed as Sting came to the ring with a brand new, sparklely ring coat and like always, bringing his best effort to TNA's signature event. The match was pretty much a stale mate between both challenger and champion with the match being comprised of many counters, reversals, and signature moves performed by both men. This is the best AJ Styles and Sting bout to date and this was a very good main event. After the match, we get a surprised speech from Sting where he expresses his thoughts about his future in TNA. 4/5Overall, I found this Bound For Glory event being a good one but is certainly not the best in my book. Not having a single bad match on the card, I give Bound For Glory '09 a strong recommendation.

First of all I was at the event. I just watched the PPV on DvD and it is just as awesome as being there live. This is a must have for the Ultimate X match alone. Most of the matches were pretty good. The monster's ball match was great except for the fact that Abyss forgot to put shoulder up when he was supposed to kick out of Foley's pin. haha

Amazing

Really great DVD. All titles on the line, including X-Division Ultimate X and Knockouts Tag Team Championship Matches.

Zakk Wlyde opens the PPV with the National Anthem. I wasnt there live but it seemed pre-recorded and out of place.Ultimate X Match with Daniels, Amazing Red, Chris Sabin, Suicide, Alex Shelley, and Homicide: This was the usual spotfest with many, many crazy things going on thru out the match. It was hard to track the wrestlers as the came in and out thru out the match. I enjoyed it but it some parts felt rehearsed just to get fans chanting. Red retains the X division title in the end.Side note: X Division is what made me watch TNA in the first place. However it's grown to be like the WWE cruiserweight division and it pains me to say that. It's always the same wrestlers but I guess due to budget cut backs in TNA and Hogan running things now, I'd come to expect that.Taylor Wilde and Sarita VS Beautiful People: I skipped over this matchTNA Legends Champion Kevin Nash VS A Poor Man's Chris Jericho, Eric Young VS Herenandez: I've never stood the appeal of Eric Young, he can wrestle but never enjoyed him. This was a basic handicap match as Young paid for Nash's service because he loves money. Nothing really wrong with the match but the ending was weak.Full Metal Mayhem Match TNA Tag Team Champions Booker T & Scott Steiner VS I.W.G.P. Tag Team Champions British Invasion VS Team 3D VS Beer Money: Anther spotfest. It feels like TNA was trying to make there best impression with this PPV. It was a good match up though.Awesome Kong VS Tara VS ODB: Three women who can wrestle and yet I skipped over it.Samoa Joe VS Bobby Lashley: This was billed as TNA VS MMA match-up and boy did this suck! Would have been fine if it was a regular match and once again, the ending was weak.Monster's Ball Abyss VS Mick Foley with Dr. Stevie as guest ref: This was a basic handicap match. Some cool spots but I found this way to boring. Abyss chokeslams Daffney thru a barbwire board in a cool spot. The ending was weak once again.Kurt Angle VS Matt Morgan: A good match can't really complain too much about this one.TNA World Champion AJ Styles VS Sting: A good main event. Alot of people thought it would be Sting's last match but it wasn't. The ending came off weak on the dvd.Overall, a good event. TNA was on it's A game here following storylines and building feuds. It seems they pulled out all stops here with alot of stipulation matches. Angle VS Morgan and Sting VS Styles weren't spotfests but were two good wrestling matches. I'd say diffently watch this event.

I liked this one. Good value for money. I think it was the best Pay per view of 2009. The monster's ball match gets violent though, and you need a strong stomach for it.

終わりと始まり…これまでのTNAの集大成と言うに相応しい特番でした.この特番でTNAの歴史が語られた,と言っても過言ではないでしょう.非常に完成度の高い特番でした.見応え抜群です!どの試合も最高でした.退屈してる暇は一切ありません.TNAによる,ファンのための,レスラーの祭典でした!TNA IS BEST !TNA IS REAL !TNA IS KING OF WRESTLING !
