Hello and welcome to Impact Wrestling Bound For Glory!
This looks like it’s going to be an awesome card and we’re set with plenty of popcorn and other goodies ready to go.
Let’s get to the action!
Countdown to Bound For Glory – Digital Media Championship – Brian Myers (c) vs. Dirty Dango Curty
Myers issued an open challenge for his Digital Media Championship, and we’re excited to see who will face him this time.
This was a surprise addition as we expected Dirty Dango to appear in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, and Myers controlled it early on until Dango fought off a sunset flip and hit a leg drop for a pin attempt.
Myers headed to the floor twice, and caught Dango with a kick and ran him into the ring post to regain the momentum.
Dango avoided Myers’ leg take down and hit a crossbody over the top rope before throwing Myers into the ring as he went to work. He hit a Falcon’s Arrow for a pin attempt, followed by a DDT for another attempt.

Myers survived to hit a spear and Roster Cut for the win. This was an exciting match and Dango had a great debut in a hard fought match.
Raven’s Hall of Fame Induction
In a video package, Lance Storm and Tommy Dreamer talked about Raven having a ridiculously high IQ as well as having a dark side and he loves the business like few others.
Dreamer talked about him being his enemy like the Joker to Batman and without Raven there wouldn’t be a Tommy Dreamer.
Scott D’Amore and others talked about how he helped making Impact Wrestling when he joined it when it was TNA. Eddie Edwards and Sami Callihan joined in with congratulating him on joining the Hall of Fame.
Tommy Dreamer came out to the podium and welcomed everyone to Bound For Glory. He said three weeks ago Scott D’Amore came up to him and said they decided unanimously that it’s him.
After talking about how happy he was, Scott told him he was chosen to put Raven in the HOF.
He talked about how Raven believed in people during the 90s when it wasn’t the thing to do, and without him there would be no Dudley Boys, Mickie James, CM Punk, and more if not for him.
He thanked fans for giving them their moments as he inducted Raven into the Hall of Fame.
In typical Raven style, he walked by Dreamer without acknowledging him and took his place at the podium.

Raven talked about his qualities and how they’re not good for succeeding in life, but perfect for a wrestlers. He didn’t feel like he deserved the cheers, but the boos made him feel at home.
He was the last one to go through the territory system and talked about that and how it helped mold him, as well as working with a booking wizard.
When he’d ask about being in a cage match, Raven was asked how he’d build up to it and that helped him understand the booking process.
He thanked Paul Heyman and how he gave him creative freedom and will match his feuds with the Sandman and Dreamer against anyone.
He talked about quitting WCW early, and that WWE was miserable but he finally started seeing a psychiatrist.
TNA came around to continue his TV career and he’s come full circle. He thanked Dreamer for inducting him, being the ying to his yang, for being the face to his heel, and for ending their feud tonight.
After shaking Dreamer’s hand he kicked him and hit a DDT to cherished boos from the fans.
