Nigel A. Rhodes sent the following report to PWInsider.com:
I attended TNA Bound For Glory in the front row tonight and I was impressed. The arena looked pretty full with only the last few rows on the floor having space. The stage and big screens also looked good.
Bobby Roode vs. Lance Hoyt
The pre-show match with Roode and Hoyt was a decent pre-show match. The crowd kind of got bored of Roode's speech as it was long and there was definite disappointment at first when Tracy Brooks was announced as his manager but the crowd soon cheered since she's hot. I was expecting lots of "Hoyt! Hoyt" chants but when he came out there weren't really any at all which showed me that the TNA fan base that was there is newer rather than older. Roode also got alot of cheers during the match. The fans cheered Killings when he came out and seemed to enjoy his rap as a time filler
Kevin Nash Invitational
Kevin Nash came out and got some cheers, before the match the announcer tried to explain the match but it was hard to understand him. Austin Starr came out to some cheers, there was definitely some confusion with the crowd over his look and how he was acting (whether he was supposed to be gay) Dutt also seemed to get his regular cheers. Bentley and Lethal got normal cheers, Gowen got a huge pop for some reason. When A-1 came out people boo'd and were really confused as to why he was in this match, but w/e. Kazarian got a relatively good cheer, people were confused when Sirelda came out, when she came out Slick came over to us and said "that's a big "itch" (you fill in the word) which was pretty funny. Shark Boy got his usual pop, Shelley was hugely over with the crowd, D-Ray, the midget, and Smiley didnt really get much, Devine was decently over, Williams got a big pop and a big pop when he hit the destroyer. The fans cheered Starr when he won, pretty decent match, they did a good job doing big spot after big spot with different workers. Kazarian took a nasty bump when was eliminated smacking his head off the secondary padding, Skipper did a nice job acting injured when he botched his move as well.
4 Way Tag Bout
All the tag teams were pretty over with the live crowd and seemed to like the over all match. Franchise got a decent pop when he first came out. Decent tag team match, Chase Stevens got a nasty slap on the thigh from Bubba which after the match was purple and starting to bleed and you could see him favoring that leg, it was a wicked slap. People seemed disappointed the Naturals lost but cheered the Dudleys. Kinda disappointed no tables but cant do it every time I guess.
